This week in General Hospital was nothing short of explosive as Port Charles faced shocking revelations, secret betrayals, and heartbreaking losses. From dangerous confrontations to devastating truths, here’s everything that happened from December 9–13, 2024.
Monday, December 9: Love, Loss, and a Deadly Memory
The holiday spirit swept through Port Charles as the Christmas tree lot opened its doors. Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) shared a nostalgic Hallmark-worthy moment with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), decorating her tree and serenading her with a song as he announced plans to stay in town. Meanwhile, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Trina (Tabyana Ali) enlisted Dex (Evan Hofer) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) to help pick out their tree.
But the festive mood was shattered when Dex confronted Cyrus (Jeff Kober) at the lot, accusing him of being at GH on Halloween. As Cyrus reflected on that fateful day, it was revealed he had given Sam the digitalis that ended her life.
Elsewhere, Sonny (Maurice Benard) comforted Kristina (Kate Mansi), who was grappling with the fallout from Ava’s trial, and offered her ownership of Charley’s Pub. Laura (Genie Francis) reunited with Martin (Michael E. Knight), updating him on Lulu’s condition and Cyrus’ actions.
Tuesday, December 10: Stabbing Shadows and Schemes Unveiled
Tensions boiled over at the Metro Court as Brennan (Charles Mesure) confronted Carly (Laura Wright) about the bug planted in his office. Their clash escalated until Carly was called away to help Lulu (Alexa Havins), who stormed into Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) office demanding answers about missing persons.
At Aurora, Curtis (Donnell Turner) played along with Drew (Cameron Mathison), who dangled the CEO position like bait. Curtis later confided to Michael (Chad Duell) that Drew’s double cross wouldn’t go unpunished.
Meanwhile, Dex’s heroism turned dangerous. While breaking up a drunken fight at Rice Plaza, he was stabbed from behind. At GH, Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) confided in Maxie (Kirsten Storms) about her decision to keep her baby, and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) made a shocking admission to Drew—she planned to confess their affair to Michael after the holidays.
Wednesday, December 11: A Love Lost and Secrets Revealed
Dex’s surgery was a success, and Joss visited him in the hospital, worried Sonny might be behind the attack. Dex dismissed her fears and even teased a romantic holiday getaway.
At GH, sparks flew as Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) flirted during preparations for the Christmas fair. Meanwhile, Jason (Steve Burton) and Anna grilled Martin for information about Valentin, leading Spinelli to uncover that Valentin was hiding in Zurich.
The tension between Curtis and Drew reached a breaking point. Curtis vented to Jordan about Drew’s deceit, only for Drew to make matters worse by asking Nina to break the news to Curtis that he wouldn’t be getting the CEO position.
Thursday, December 12: A Quartermaine Party Turns Scandalous
The Quartermaines’ annual Christmas party was thrown into chaos when PCU’s football game stole everyone’s attention. As the family scrambled to stream the game, a frustrated Tracy (Jane Elliot) accidentally cast a video onto the TV—exposing Willow and Drew’s affair.
Elsewhere, Kristina took a major step, informing Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) she was officially taking over Charley’s. At the Port Charles Grille, Ava’s (Maura West) card was unexpectedly declined, prompting her to call Lucas (Van Hansis) for help.
Back at GH, Elizabeth received an urgent alert about a patient’s monitors, setting the stage for tragedy.
Friday, December 13: Heartbreak and Final Farewells
The fallout from the exposed affair was immediate. Michael confronted Willow, while Carly leaped to her son’s defense, escalating the tension. Willow, in tears, tried to gather the children, fearing Michael might keep them from her, but Carly intercepted her at the door.
Meanwhile, Ava struggled to resolve her financial woes, and Trina shared a touching moment with Kai at the football stadium.
The week ended with devastating news. Joss arrived at GH to check on Dex, only to walk in on a frantic effort to stabilize him. Isaiah broke the heartbreaking news: despite their best efforts, Dex didn’t survive.
What’s Next for Port Charles?
With Dex’s shocking death, a strained Corinthos family, and Willow’s affair now out in the open, the residents of Port Charles are left reeling. The holidays may be here, but the drama is far from over.
Stay tuned as Port Charles faces the consequences of this unforgettable week!
