Brenda recovers from her drug overdose in Jason’s arms. Jason tries to convince Brenda to return to Port Charles for her safety. Robin manages to escape the cabin, only to fall into an unmarked well. When Lisa returns suddenly to the hospital, Patrick tries to trick her into revealing her emotionally unstable nature. Despite Dante’s warning that the Balkan is dangerous, Lucky moves forward undercover as Ronan O’Reilly. Lulu wonders if Siobhan has developed feelings for Ronan when she acts protective over the seeming threat of US extradition. Carly pushes Sonny to admit he is using Claire, just as Claire arrives on the scene.  Sonny takes her home for dinner, and they have mischievous, passionate sex.  Brenda finally agrees to go to Port Charles for her safety, vowing to stay away from Sonny. As Robin remains hopelessly trapped in the well, Patrick tries to work Lisa for clues. Mac breaks police protocol, asking Ronnie to do whatever it takes to find proof Lisa caused Robin to go missing. Robin is visited by visions of Stone as she lies huddled at the bottom of the well. Siobhan overhears Lucky’s true identity as Lucky and not Ronan. Sonny surprises Claire, inviting her for a weekend getaway. Kristina realizes that her father is only dating Claire as a way to keep his mind off of Brenda.

Carly tries to convince Sam to bring Jason home, away from the clutches of Brenda. Lucky chases down Siobhan when he realizes his cover has been blown. Dante and Lulu get lost in the Irish countryside. Lucky is arrested by Irish cops for the death of the Balkan’s thugs. In her dreams, Robin and Stone discuss their past.  Stone helps her find closure and also reinvigorates her will to live – she wants to survive for Emma’s sake. Spinelli counsels Patrick to consider the possibility that Lisa is innocent. Mac arrests Patrick for Robin’s disappearance. Claire gets a call from work requiring she cut her vacation short with Sonny. Carly refocuses her efforts to get revenge on Dante with Spinelli’s help. Brook Lynn, looking poised and polished, heads off for France with Nik but then is seized by a panic attack on the plane. Ethan and Maya finally have a serious conversation about their values, with Ethan admitting he ultimately prioritizes his family.

Brenda arrives in Port Charles. Jason suffers Brenda’s diva antics. Feeling insecure, Sam asks Maxie for help in “dressing sexy.” Deathly weakened at the bottom of the well, Robin continues to hold out hope that she will be found. Robin goes unconscious. Lisa helps Patrick get released. Steve finds a lead in finding Robin. Stuck in the Irish countryside, Dante questions Lulu’s motives for having an adventure.  Lulu admits that she feels pressure to live up to the “Luke & Laura” life that her parents led. Brenda thinks Jason is in love with Sam because she looks like her. Sam tells Jason that they should break up. Sonny arrives home after his weekend with Claire to find Brenda waiting for him. As Robin lies dying in the well, Steve stalls Lisa so Patrick can race to the cabin. Patrick saves Robin just as Lisa arrives – tears streaming, unspooled – and points a gun at them. Agent Bates tracks down the couple that is “investigating Ronan O’Reilly,” but before he can identify himself, Lulu strikes him in self-defense. Sonny and Claire join the “mile-high club,” and Sonny convinces Claire he cares for her and can trust him with her heart. Maxie cannot help but be jealous when she finds Spinelli wholly infatuated with Brenda.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Zeke to Jordan on His Arrival Back in Port Charles: “This Place Is Looking Better By The Minute”

As many had predicted, it turned out that Portia’s (Brook Kerr) brother, Zeke (Gavin Houston) did pick-up and promptly hit the sheets with Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) ex-wife, PCPD commissioner, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper). It all happened on Tuesday’s episode of General Hospital.

Jordan, who was already reeling and trying to get over Curtis, after he went back to Portia, is having a drink at the Metro Court pool. She meets a handsome man at the bar.  The guy happens to be Zeke.  That’s ‘Zeke’ as in Portia’s brother, who is back in town.

Zeke introduces himself to Jordan. At first, she is a bit dismissive. However, she quickly realizes her mood is her own doing when she admits to kissing her ex, who then went back to his wife.

As she looks at Zeke, Jordan says she is not wasting another minute on her former flame and offers to buy Zeke a drink.  When Jordan asks where he’s from, Zeke shares that he’s new to Port Charles, and adds, “The place is starting to look better by the minute.”

What followed … and quickly … was Zeke and Jordan heading to his hotel room for a night of steamy passion.  We also see that Jordan took off her ring when a pool boy found it when he cleaned up the bar.

So, what do you think will be the fallout when Jordan learns Zeke is Portia’s brother? Are you all-in for a Jordan/Zeke romance? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

General Hospital’s Réal Andrews and Finola Hughes Deliver the ‘Power Performances of the Week’

Two different storylines, two noteworthy performances, and both from General Hospital, made our weekly kudofest.  The first, belongs to the heartbreaking performance that still has everyone talking by Réal Andrews as Marcus Taggert.

Last week’s episodes of GH, brought with it the results of the DNA test that ‘proves’ just who is Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) biological father, Taggert or Curtis (Donnell Turner)? When Trina opened the envelope to reveal the answer in front of Portia, Curtis and Taggert, she announced it was Curtis, who was her dad.

However, if you watched the scenes carefully, you saw the subtle work by Andrews as he was attempting to remain calm before receiving the answer and what followed afterwards, but that was in front of Trina, Portia and Curtis and his attempt to put on a brave face through it all.  In reality, Taggert was devastated by the news.  When he said his goodbyes, Taggert got inside the GH elevator.  Once there, he lost it and began to cry, punching the elevators walls with his fist.  A five-hank

Meanwhile, Finola Hughes once again showed us the layers and the veracity of Anna Devane. This time, while at WSB headquarters, Anna’s past as a double agent comes to light.  Agent Hersley had her under arrest, as she is being accused of treason against the state.

While Anna’s past as a DBX double agent were known to the agency, they weren’t known to the public. Thanks to Victor’s will reading and the revenge plot he set in motion against her, now Anna is up against more formidable foes.  When speaking with her lawyer, Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), Anna says how can she dispute the charges against her when they are true?  She realizes in this instant that the WSB wants to hang her out to dry to cover their own asses.  Hersley threatens Anna, that if she fights the charges, they will be forced into looking into the actions of her associates, Robert Scorpio and Annie Donnelly.

Not having it, Anna throws down saying she will seriously embarrass the WSB if they pursue this … and if anything happens to Robert, Annie or anyone else she cares about, she will take the bureau down with her.  After Hersley caves, Martin asks Anna what happened. Anna states she is no longer an agent and will never be again.

This material gave the mighty Hughes the material to shine, as Anna went from having the rug pulled out from under her, to fighting back, to now not knowing what her future holds after saving others.

For all the reasons cited above, Michael Fairman TV names the work of Réal Andrews and Finola Hughes as last week’s ‘Power Performances of the Week”.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Marcus Learns He’s Not Trina’s Biological Father

On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, Trina (Tabyana Ali) opened the DNA test results that would conclude who is her actual bio-dad. Would it be the man who raised her, Taggert (Réal Andrews) or, the man she more recently has come to know, Curtis (Donnell Turner)?

At GH, Marcus, Curtis and Portia (Brook Kerr) gather to learn the results.  It turns out that Curtis is Trina’s biological father, not Marcus.

However, are these results, correct? Are DNA results ever correct on soaps? Did Selina Wu (Lydia Look) have something to do with switching these in favor of Curtis? Are we digging into this too much?

After the revelation, Trina tells Curtis. they will need to take some time need to figure out their relationship.  Trina makes it clear she’s not looking for a replacement father, and hopes he can understand and accept that.  Curtis promises he will let Trina take the lead on things.

Meanwhile, Taggert, who promised Trina no matter what happens that nothing will change between them, decides to take off and breaks down in the elevator.  Marcus is devastated and in tears, and is left using the elevator as a punching bag for his fists.

You can watch the final moments of the scene, featuring a heart-tugging performance by Réal Andrews below.

Now let us know, are you glad Trina’s bio-dad turned out to be Curtis and not Marcus … or were you hoping it would turn out the other way around? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
