Exciting developments are set to unfold in Port Charles as General Hospital returns with fresh drama on Tuesday, January 21, following a preemption

on Monday for the presidential inauguration. The upcoming episode promises emotional revelations, tough decisions, and tense confrontations that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Willow’s Growing Regret

Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) continues to grapple with feelings of regret over how events have spiraled out of control. While she recently made a difficult but right choice regarding Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), she’s haunted by the possibility that her actions may have jeopardized her chances of regaining custody of Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Sequoia, and Serenity Mork Macko). Seeking answers, Willow turns to Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), only to learn that Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) remains tight-lipped about the children’s whereabouts, despite her recent arrest.

Tracy’s Defiance and Anna’s Investigation
Tracy, now in custody thanks to Congressman Quartermaine’s connections, refuses to cooperate. At the PCPD, she clashes with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and lashes out at Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) for aligning with the wrong side. Meanwhile, Anna intensifies her investigation into the explosive device planted in Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) penthouse. Her suspicions briefly fall on Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure) due to the device’s links to the WSB, but Brennan assures her of his commitment to uncovering the true culprit.

Maxie’s Warning to Natalia
Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) grows increasingly concerned for Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue) following the explosion that endangered Sonny’s family. During a heartfelt conversation, Maxie warns Natalia about the dangers of staying connected to Sonny’s volatile world, leaving Natalia to reconsider her choices.

Ava Pushes Sonny to Act
Ava Jerome (Maura West) confronts Sonny, demanding that he prioritize their daughter, Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola). With Avery’s safety at risk, Ava urges Sonny to end their custody battle and allow Avery to stay with her until the threats subside. This heated exchange adds to Sonny’s mounting stress as he struggles to protect his family.

Michael’s Crucial Decision
Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) prepares to share vital details with her son, Michael, who must decide where he’ll receive treatment for his injuries. Willow has agreed to let Michael make the choice, even though waking him from anesthesia comes with risks. After hearing Carly’s case for the German clinic’s advanced capabilities, Michael is likely to opt for the facility, offering hope for a full recovery. Grateful for Jack Brennan’s efforts in securing this opportunity, Carly begins arranging the next steps.
