General Hospital Spoilers: Valentin Cassadine’s Mysterious Deal with John Brennan, Pikeman Plot Thickens

Buckle up, Port Charles fans, things are about to explode over at the Corinthos compound! Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) is fuming over Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) complete lack of loyalty toward Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). After everything Jason’s done, Sonny’s cold shoulder is cutting deep, and Carly isn’t afraid to let him know it. Expect a classic Carly outburst in Friday’s episode!

Meanwhile, Jason’s fresh out on bail, but not quite in the clear. Before he can head home to his family, he’s got unfinished business that can’t wait. Next stop – Sonny’s penthouse. Jason needs to look his former friend in the eye and make it clear: he did not shoot Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), and he wasn’t behind the hit on Sonny.

But let’s be real, Sonny’s got a mountain of evidence against Jason. Can Jason convince him to ignore the proof and trust his gut instead? With all the backstabbing Sonny’s been through lately, it’s a long shot. You can practically feel the tension crackling in the air…

Speaking of tension, it looks like Sonny’s growing bond with Ava Jerome (Maura West) is about to boil over! Friday’s episode hints at a moment of weakness – will Sonny give in to temptation? And is it possible that Nina Corinthos (Cynthia Watros), encouraged by Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), will walk in on something she wishes she hadn’t?

Over at General Hospital, relief washes over Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) as Dante finally opens his eyes and breathes on his own. His first hoarse words? Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) name. Seems like Dante’s top priority is setting the record straight – Jason’s in the clear, and Anna needs to hear it firsthand.

Anna already got the scoop from Jason, but there’s nothing like confirmation from the source. This is huge, folks! It’s the key to getting those charges against Jason dropped… or at least the ones connected to Dante’s shooting.

Back at the Quartermaine mansion, a bombshell of a phone call rocks Olivia Quartermaine’s (Lisa LoCicero) world – Dante’s awake! Expect a whirlwind of emotions as she rushes to his bedside, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Francis Carr) and Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) in tow.

Speaking of Danny, it looks like Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) will offer some surprising understanding about his recent brawl with Jake Webber (Hudson West). Emotions are running red-hot for everyone right now, and even with her own complicated feelings about Jason, it seems Liz will put Danny’s loyalty first.

And finally, General Hospital spoilers tease a shadowy deal in the works. Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) is making arrangements… could this be orchestrating John Brennan’s (Charles Mesure) escape? Friday’s preview hints at a cryptic conversation between Brennan and an unknown person – “I was starting to think you’d abandoned me,” Brennan says. Considering Valentin and Brennan’s shared history with the Pikeman group, this looks like a very shady arrangement indeed.

Get ready for a wild ride, because with this Pikeman mess, things are about to get a whole lot worse before they get better! Anna Devane’s in for some major surprises, that’s for sure.
