A weekly column highlighting the Port Charles happenings during the past week on General Hospital. Read below to find out what you missed or to refresh your memory in time for next week.

Monday

Felicia (Kristina Wagner) came to the PCPD to speak with Robert (Tristan Rogers) about convincing Anna (Finola Hughes) to come home. Robert reminded Felicia how Anna would never listen to anything he asked her to do; adding he and his ex decided to set boundaries on interferring in each other’s lives. Finn (Michael Easton) questioned Curtis (Donnell Turner) about whether Ashford knew what Hayden (Rebecca Budig) was up while she was away from Port Charles. Finn told Curtis his theory that Hayden was keeping a secret. At The Bistro, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) told Hayden she’d make a good mother. But Ms. Barnes preferred being the cool aunt. At GH, Julian noticed Brad’s (Parry Shen) flowers and warned Cooper he’d better not be stepping out on his son. Lucas (Ryan Carnes) examined Ava (Maura West) after her fainting incident at The Metro Court. Ava explained how upset she was to learn Ryan (Jon Lindstrom) had killed again on the pretext for her. Ms. Jerome also expressed her belief someone was watching her. At The Metro, Carly (Laura Wright) asked Michael (Chad Duell) to load the gifts for Donna into her car while she talked with Sasha (Sofia Mattsson). Carly told Sasha she knew she lied about being Nina’s daughter and accused Ms. Gilmore of being a gold digger after Michael’s money. Sasha insisted that wasn’t true explaining how she came told Michael the truth before their relationship progressed, adding if Nina decided to press charges she’d deal with it without dragging Michael into it. Carly commented she and Sasha had more in common than she thought then told her how she deceived Bobbie (Jackie Zeman) when she first came to Port Charles as payback for her mother giving her up for adoption as a baby. When Michael returned, Carly announced she and Sasha had reached an understanding. Jax learned Nina forgave Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and the couple were back together. He told Nina that he’s there for her if she needed him again, which he hoped she didn’t. Finn called Hayden and told her he needed to see her.

Tuesday

At The Metro Court, Jason (Steve Burton) interrupts Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) and Laura’s (Genie Francis) meal about getting in to see Ryan (also Lindstrom) to find out whether Brice told him the name of the person he was working with. Kevin reminded Jason that Ryan won’t help him. Robert (Tristan Rogers) overheard Finn’s (Michael Easton) call to Hayden (Rebecca Budig) telling her he was looking forward to their breakfast. Scorpio commented Finn had his ex to keep his warm while his fiancee was out of town doing something. Ava (Maura West) had her gun ready when someone arrived at the door. It turned out to be Julian (William deVry) bringing her breakfast. Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) came to Shady Brook with Franco/Drew’s (Roger Howarth) dress uniform for his client to wear to his hearing. At Port Charles High while Josslyn (Eden McCoy) was discussing her journal keeping with English teacher Dustin Phillips, Cameron (William Lipton) and Trini (Sydney Mikayla) talked about Franco’s hearing. At Kelly’s, Martin Grey approached Scott (Kin Shriner) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and promised Mrs. Baldwin neither he nor his client wanted to cause pain for her family. Scott reminded if he felt that way he wouldn’t be representing Franco. Jason came to see Franco/Drew and showed him a photo of Peter (Wes Ramsey). Franco/Drew remembered Peter buying him a drink at The Floating Rib and knew he met him somewhere else but couldn’t recall where. Kevin came to see Ava and encouraged her to go back to work at her gallery. Ava took Kevin’s advice and got dressed for work, telling Ryan he’d never win because she was Ava Jerome. At GH, Curtis (Donnell Turner) talked about the three fake DNA tests run on Sasha and how he hated being lied to. Ashford reminded Hayden of their friend and that he was there for her if she wanted to share anything with him. After Curtis left, Hayden got an upsetting phone call which made her blow off her breakfast with Finn. When Curtis came to The Metro Court and Finn told him Hayden never showed up for breakfast, Ashford assumed her scared her off by revealing his poker face (that he knew she was keeping secret). Finn received a call about a sick child and rushed to General Hospital. At GH, he ran into Hayden who told him the sick girl in the room was her daughter.

Wednesday

At GH, Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) have Baby Donna and are ready to bring their daughter home. At the Corinthos house, Michael is hanging a Welcome Home Donna banner when Josslyn enters the living room. She comments on the beauty of a silver baby cup. Michael told Josslyn it was a re-gift: He brought the cup for Jonah and planned to pass it down through generations. At Kelly’s, Jason (Steve Burton) admired the model car Danny made and honestly told his son that Sam (Kelly Monaco) was in Pentonville because someone lied and unless he found evidence to prove that, Danny’s mom will have to remain in prison until her trial. Monica came to Kelly’s and gave Danny money for a treat. Then, she and Jason talked about Monica’s belief that Franco is now Drew since he has Drew’s memories. Jason told Monica he didn’t want her to get hurt in her effort to connect with a Drew she never knew. Finn (Michael Easton) can’t believe Hayden (Rebecca Herbst) kept his daughter from him by saying she suffered a miscarriage. He met the cute blonde little girl Violet and instantly bonded with her. As doctors can’t treat family members, Finn had to call in another physician. The Corinthos family celebrated Donna’s homecoming. Josslyn reminded Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola) she was now a big sister. And Carly gave Avery a new doll to take care of while she (Carly) took care of Donna. At Franco/Drew’s (Roger Howath) competency hearing, the judge warned Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) and Scott (Kin Shriner) against grandstanding. Scott presented DNA and passport evidence that the man who now calls himself Drew Cain is his son Franco Baldwin. Martin argued they aren’t disputing DNA, only who his client believes himself to be and his right to make his own decisions. Jordan (Briana Henry) testified how Franco Baldwin was a hero who helped the police catch serial killer Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom). Cameron (William Lipton) testified to the events leading up to the memory transfer and Franco’s last words that he would come back to Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). When Martin Grey accused the teen of lying to make things right for his mother, Franco/Drew urged his attorney to back off. Josslyn told her mother about keeping a journal. Jason arrived to Donna’s party and later received a phone call he was called to testify at Drew’s hearing. When Elizabeth took the stand, Martin brought up her past relationships and how she lied to the other Drew Cain and prevented him from making his own decisions because she believed he was Jason Morgan and didn’t want him to return to his real family.

Thursday

Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) questioned Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) about withholding Drew’s identity from him to make him believe he was Jason Morgan all in the name of love and to have him to herself. Elizabeth stood her ground “That man is not Drew Cain.” Liz admitted she was wrong for not letting Jake Doe know who he was, just like Dr. Nero (Tamara Braun) is doing. “Kim do the right thing and let Franco be Franco.” Josslyn (Eden McCoy) was touched by Jax’s (Ingo Radmacher) gift for Donna, a necklace similar to the one Lady Jane gave her (Josslyn) when she was a baby. At GH, an angry Finn (Michael Easton) confronted Hayden (Rebecca Budig) about keeping their daughter from him. Hayden explained that after she was accused of stealing funds from GH, she knew he was disappointed in her and felt it was only a matter of time before she was arrested so she ran. She told him their baby died because she planned to raise their child alone in Europe. When she changed her mind and wrote for him to come to her in Europe, he never did because he was now with Anna. Hayden said she did it for him and herself. Trina (Sydney Mikalya) came to the Jerome Gallery to apply for the intern position. Ava (Maura West) explained she usually hired art major graduate students. Dev (Ashton Arhab) entered with Helena’s portrait explaining it was thrown out, he brought it and now was offering to sell it to her. Although doubtful Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) would throw the painting out, Ava gave Dev $100.00 for it. Ms. Jerome hired Trina as her intern. Dev returned to the Corinthos house with boxes of candy bars which he planned to sell for less at school as the vending machines are always out of stock. The teen explained this was a way to earn extra cash to help pay his way. Although he agreed with him while Jax was there, after the Australian left, Sonny told Dev his new enterprise was too risky and might cause people to ask questions they didn’t need. Monica testified that DNA doesn’t make a person who they are. When Jason was called to the stand, Scott (Kin Shriner) asked him about the brain injury that changed him from Jason Quartermaine to Jason Morgan. Then, Jason said Franco was the only person who could say who he really was. An angry and upset Cameron (William Lipton) asked Jason why he couldn’t just say Franco was Franco was the sake of Jake (Hudson West) and Aiden (Jason David). When Kim (Tamara Braun) took the stand, Scott asked her how she would have felt if Oscar’s memories has been transferred into Cameron’s mind before questioning her about drugging Drew in order to have a baby with him.

Friday

Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) received an expensive bottle of wine from Spencer. Ava (Maura West) and Trina (Sydney Mikayla) decided to move Helena’s (Constance Towers) portrait in the back. Diane (Carolyn Hennesey) and Jason (Steve Burton) visited Sam (Kelly Monaco)in Pentonville and learned Ms. McCall’s cellmate was in solitary for attacking her former cellmate. She asked the odds of being convicted for Shiloh’s (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) murder. Diane believed Sam’s odds of being acquitted were good and suggested a non-jury trial where the judge would render the verdict. Sam said they had a lot to think about and asked Diane for some time alone. Jason told Sam he didn’t feel comfortable about one person having so much control over her future. But the decision was ultimately Sam’s to determine whether she wanted a bench trial. Valentin came to the Jerome Gallery and told Ava that Nina had taken him back. At Crimson, Maxie (Kristen Storms) noticed Peter (Wes Ramsey) was more interested in looking at his phone than talking with her. When Lucy (Lynn Herring) arrived to tell him the dock area condo was now available and her declined on it, Maxie questioned why Peter changed his mind. Lulu (Emme Rylan) and Dustin had lunch in his classroom. He asked her to be his date for the Halloween dance. Since Nina forgave Valentin, Ava came to Crimson to take back her bottle of scotch. Outside Kelly’s, Valentin told Laura (Genie Francis) how Spencer sent Nina an expensive bottle of wine to celebrate she calling off the wedding. Valentin warned if the now young adult proved to be more than an annoyance, he’d deal with Spencer his own way. At the competency hearing, Kim (Tamara Braun) admitted to drugging the other Drew to have sex with her to have a baby. She said she realized she was wrong. But Scott reminded that if she hadn’t been interrupted, she would have been charged with sexual assault. Next, Franco testified to a memory of being in San Diego in 2010 as Drew where Franco was somewhere else. Finally, Scott’s medical expert Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) testified. But saying in his expert opinion, regardless of what Franco called himself, he was more than capable of making his own medical decisions. After a brief recess to review the evidence, Judge Lasser returned to render her verdict.
