GENERAL HOSPITAL: Alexis is Arrested for the Murder of John Cates While Sonny Looks On; Kristina Admits to Michael She Wanted to “Kill” Him
On Friday’s, September 13th episode of General Hospital, Kristina (Kate Mansi) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) are caught in the crosshairs as the police continue to investigate who shot and killed John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington).
Sonny (Maurice Benard) comes to visit Alexis and she tells him they need to find a way to keep Kristina from being charged for a murder they both know she didn’t commit. When Sonny asks where Kristina was the night of Cates murder, she says “She was here with me until she left to steal a gun from you!”
Alexis explained the night of the murder, Kristina came into the house soaked having visited Adela’s grave in the thunderstorm. She tells Sonny a gun is against her bail restrictions. Next, Alexis shares her worries that she had feared that Kristina would shoot someone or even herself that is why she got rid of the gun that night. At the time, she did that, she had no idea Agent Cates was being murdered with the same type of gun!

Admitting to Sonny, the police have already questioned her about the night of the murder, Sonny asks her what she said. Alexis fires back if he is wondering if she incriminated Kristina or him. Alexis wants Sonny to confess to murdering Cates. However, Sonny claims he had nothing to do with it and Carly (Laura Wright) has his alibi. Alexis is not buying his act for one second, and if he were innocent he wouldn’t need Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) to defend him, which is why Diane can’t defend her.
At Michael’s (Chad Duell) office, he tells Kristina he has a plan to help get Alexis and her out of this jam and to pin the crime on one of Cates’ long list of enemies and pay them off to do so. After Kristina is called to the PCPD and questioned by Chase (Josh Swickard), with Michael present, Chase asks Kristina where she was the night Cates was murdered. She explains she was home all night, except for going to the cemetery for about 30 minutes. Michael says she is done talking until she has a lawyer present.

Later, Michael asks Kristina, do the police have anything on her that she is not telling him? He can tell she is hiding something because she is blinking her eyes rapidly. Kristina admits she made one more stop that night. She pulled into the Quartermaine driveway for a few seconds, where she admits she considered murdering Cates.
At the end of the episode, Mac (John J. York) goes to Alexis’ house and arrests her for the murder of John Cates as Sonny stands by and watches. Alexis shoots him daggers while she is being hauled off to the PCPD.
Elsewhere at General Hospital, Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) warns Jason (Steve Burton) that Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is too dangerous for one man to take down by himself. Jason is intent on rescuing Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) at Carly’s request and says he needs some kind of advantage to get him in the door. Isaiah says there is only one weakness to exploit: Sidwell’s girlfriend, who Sidwell calls “English” (which GH fans know “English” was the name Luke Spencer called Holly Sutton).
Meanwhile, Anna (Finola Hughes) is determined to get Lucky’s location in Africa from Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure). She explains Luke and her were friends and that he always looked out for her daughter, Robin. She pays her debts. Brennan snark he’ll remember that when it’s time for him to collect and gives her the newest location for Sidwell.
Carly says goodbye to Jason who is heading to Africa, and leaves a message for Laura that Jason is on his way to help her find her son, while Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Anna talk before Anna takes off on her mission to save Lucky with her gun.
In the GH hallway, Brennan tells Carly that it’s a special kind of hell when you don’t know if someone you care about will come home. She didn’t expect him to understand what anyone of them is going through with trying to rescue Lucky, but clearly he does, giving us more questions about Brennan’s motives and his past than answers.

At the end of the episode, Anna and Jason find themselves travel partners as their seats are seemingly next to each other as they both head out of Port Charles to find Lucky, leading some fans to speculate that perhaps, a Anna and Jason pairing could be right around the corner? Hmmm.
So, what do you think about Sonny watching Alexis being handcuffed and taken into custody for a murder she did not commit? Comment below.
I love GH characters but I’m tired of the dynamic between Alexis and Kristina. If getting arrested is what finally gets Alexis to stop coddling Kristina, then so be it. I’m so glad someone finally said out loud that Kristina should be in a facility getting help. The irony being Sonny is the one who said it. I was sympathetic toward Kristina during the pregnancy and for a while after. But now I’m over it. It’s clear Kristina may have other mental health issues aside from PTSD and postpartum. She’s Sonny’s child after all. They need to look into that once and for all.
Despite Wackadoodle Kristina calling her “Adela”, the baby’s name was Irene.
At this point, anyone with the last name of Corinthos (over the age of 18) is just vile. Michael has lost any shred of decency by covering up Sonny’s guilt and now suggesting they hire a fall guy. Kristina needs Kevin to come back from his adventure quick to examine her. And Sonny, just make it stop. What’s next – will Avery will be a suspect?
Switching gears, someone on social media found Carly and Lulu’s last scene together was in 2013 (7 years before Lulu went into a coma.). The shoehorning of Carly into leading storylines may be unnecessary but was probably done here to give her more scenes with Jack.
Thank you for confirming what I was wondering about Carly and Lulu having few scenes together.
That baby was physically her child and she named her Adela, which I think was her right, just as T.J had the right to call her what he wanted, with him being the bio father. We are all never going to see eye to eye on this , but all I know if I carried a baby for 9months, from my egg, it would definitely be my child, and anyone but the father laying claim to it,could go to hell!
Look up surrogacy. Kristina violated her agreement time and time again.
No,No,No. I’d never watch with that relationship! Makes me sick just thinking of them together, especially with what they’ve done to her character. I wonder how she likes playing this new Anna that seems to hate everyone, since she lost her lover, and even when she’s at her worst and giving someone a hard time, she has her demonic smile going full speed. Yuk!, so sick of her, if she ever gets her claws in Jason, that’s the end for me. You can have her Satan, just kidding, I like you and wouldn’t wish her on you or ANYONE!
The part in Anna’s hair changed when her character changed too.
Well, her part has sure changed, period!
Nancy looks good for 68 she is a good actress not watched since 2019 I got tired of both sides constantly harping on Twitter politics you know we just what a escape and since you can’t stop it I stopped you.
Tracy was team Sasha for a long time. Not liking this writing change. Tracy makes me laugh and I love her but this switch in the writing is annoying.
It’s not a switch in the writing. Lois called out the fear & loneliness that Tracy’s feeling. She lashed out because of her fear of losing Brook Lynn to a baby and her growing family, and losing her friendship with Cody to Sasha and his newfound family with Mac. Tracy needs a relationship; it’s a shame (and a wrong decision) that they killed off Gregory.
Yes I know both Lois and Felicia explained it but I still think it’s a desperate change in writing. Tracy fought for Sasha to be the face of Deception over Blaze in the beginning. Sasha later won Tracy over again when she became the Q cook. She’s always known Cody and Sasha were headed toward being an item. This feels like a stretch even for Tracy. The actor who portrays Cody already teased he would be game for a Cody-Tracy pairing so whatever. GH is going full tilt with the bazaar pairings. Jason and Anna. Drew and Willow. Tracy and Cody. Feels like someone over at GH wants to be as outrageous as RC.
I don’t really know what to say about Michael and how calculated he can be. Willow is better off getting away from him. I’m grossed out by the Drew pairing but if it gets her away from Michael I guess I don’t care anymore.
I think there’s a twist coming here. The fact that it was a “dark and stormy night” when Jagger got sent down here to Hell is going to play into it.
What we thought we saw on screen was Jagger going out of his way to provoke Sonny, resulting in Sonny saying “you should have never threatened my daughter” and then putting two bullets in his chest.
But if it was really going to be that simple, why bother with the weather theatrics? Are storms like that really the usual weather in late August in upstate New York??
Now that Kristina has admitted to Michael that she was at the Quartermaine estate on the night of the murder, it opens up some other possibilities. For one thing, we know that she was driving Alexis’s car. If the Q’s had surveillance cameras at the gates, they probably caught the car on tape, ran the plates, and this – along with the gun tossing – might be the reason they sent Mac to arrest Alexis. Because the assumption is, if her car was at the scene of the crime, so was she.
The other possibility here is… given Kristina’s emotional state and the physical injuries she’s recovering from, is it possible she might have “blacked out” after driving to the Quartermaines, made her way to the boat house, and shot Jagger from a distance, either at the same time her daddy shot him, or the sound of her gunfire was muted by thunder from the storm, maybe?
Some mortals have questioned whether Jagger might have been wearing a vest, even equipped with fake blood packs, to set Sonny up on a fake murder charge. Yet Jagger is indeed in Hell, so if that was his plan, it failed. Most bullet proof vests have a front and a back, but not “sides”. So what if the two bullets Sonny put in him only hit a rigged vest, but a third shot hit him in the unprotected side, did some major organ damage when it got there, and turned his fake death into a real one. Yeah, I realize this last part is a stretch, and somebody should have noticed the fakery when they took the body away. But we’re just now hearing that Krissy was on the premises for a reason… because it previously looked like she was rolling in the mud on her baby’s grave that entire time.
I always felt since Sonny was seen shooting Cates that it was too obvious. Of course, he’s a thug and has shot his own son but this time it was so open and shut. My (lame) theory is Sonny actually blacked out and someone else shot Cates. I don’t think it was anyone important but I just don’t think it was Sonny. Now, the last minute red herring about being at the driveway at the Q’s further makes me believe it wasn’t Sonny. At first, I was getting confused when Michael kept questioning Kristina about that night. I started questioning myself if he knew about Kristina stopping by Sonny’s place and getting the gun. Then all of sudden she says she was at the Q’s?!?! So (somehow) Sonny blacked out, Cates was shot and Michael came up upon it seconds later.
The writing on this show is such a mess, no wonder they’ve been hemorrhaging viewers in the ratings. Been watching GH for 31 years, and there have been few times that have pissed me off as a viewer as much as what’s been going on for the past couple of weeks. Some of the garbage they’re writing is almost so bad that it’s insulting.
GH is built around Sonny, Carly and their family. A family where one of them commits murder, they all lie about it and cover it up, and then allow an innocent person to be arrested for the crime. Are we as viewers supposed to be rooting for the Corinthos family? Are we supposed to want to see Sonny get away with murder? Are we supposed to be happy that Michael and Kristina are conspiring to cover up their father’s murder, along with his ex-wife? What a backwards way to write a show!
Sonny, Kristina and Michael make me sick. I hope the entire Corinthos family ends up in a prison cell when this murder/cover up scheme is done with. But we know that will never happen, Sonny is never made to pay for any of the crimes he ever commits. Carly makes me sick. Trying to make it look like all of a sudden she has this close relationship with Lulu and the Spencer side of her family, give me a break. The idea of an Anna/Jason romantic pairing makes me sick. No thank you. Drew and Willow make me sick, instant fast forward for me every time they appear on the screen.
Dan, I had to read your name more than once to realize that this post wasn’t written by me. Needless to say, I completely agree with you and couldn’t have said it better myself. Cheers!
I’d definitely be open to a Jason/Anna romance, though I’m not sure that’s where the story is headed. It seems to be, the writers are definitely trying to lead us to think there might be, but if the writers are testing the waters (and viewer reaction) they might nix the idea because of all those who seem “aghast” and “appalled” as if they’re new to soaps. I think it could be really interesting to see these two in a relationship neither saw coming… And, I don’t care that she’s Robin’s mother. Robin and Jason were thirty years ago. There have been quite a few couples where the parent is dating their child’s ex or vice versa. And, in reality, Finola and Steve are only about ten years apart. In-story, their characters, maybe 14. If there was a vote, I’d say go for it…
I don’t see Jason ever hooking up with a cop. Let alone Robin’s mom. That would be too weird.
Well.. at least it is not an uncle going after his nephews wife. Willow is best away from both Drew and Michael.
Where the hell is Scott Baldwin? I know he isn’t well liked but not even Elizabeth nor Lulu wants to officially report him missing? Is he locked away on the island with the pharmacist? Is the pharmacist still being held or did Sonny and Jason let him go? Has Scott been free all this time and was lurking around spying on Sonny? Was he at the Q’s on that stormy night?
Oops I meant Lucy, not Lulu.
So glad that Marty Grey is coming to Alexis’s rescue, even if she thinks she doesn’t need another lawyer’s help. I’m still wondering what they did with Scotty, probably stashed him down in Puerto Rico at Sonny’s place with the naughty Pharmacist.
On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!
Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.
Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?
At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.
Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.
Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?
Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.
Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.
You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.
Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’
On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”
Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
