shifting allegiances, and emotional reckonings. Monday, May 5th, 2025, delivers a high-stakes drama where

truth is both weapon and wound. With a scandalous video, a buried pregnancy, and a spiraling chain of events that pits loyalty against justice, the stakes for our favorite characters have never been higher.

Carly’s Discovery: A Betrayal Too Big to Ignore

Carly Spencer finds her world spinning after uncovering a deeply disturbing video that sends shockwaves through her core. Once a close confidante, Nina Reeves is captured in a clandestine meeting with Justinda Winters, just moments before a life-changing event. The grainy footage reveals Nina coaxing Justinda into Drew Kane’s bedroom, covertly planting evidence to frame him for drugging Justinda with ketamine.

Carly’s emotional turmoil mounts as she replays the tape. She watches Nina’s calm manipulations, the blind trust in Justinda’s expression, and the furtive passing of something under a dim lamp. The implications are devastating. If this recording reaches the authorities, Nina’s freedom would evaporate. Yet Carly stands at a crossroads — should she expose Nina’s betrayal or protect her, sparing her from a devastating public fall?

But the secret isn’t hers alone for long. Carly realizes that Drew, the victim of this treachery, and his partner Willow Corinthos will soon learn of the deception, whether from her or another source.

Drew’s Race for Redemption

Blindsided and furious upon discovering he’s been framed, Drew Kane refuses to let lies define him. Storming into the emergency department of General Hospital, Drew demands a toxicology screening to prove his innocence. Willow stands firmly by his side, her expression torn between fury and heartbreak. Dr. Isaiah Ganon begins the test as word of the scandalous setup begins to circulate among hospital staff.

Yet, just as Isaiah prepares to release the results, he faces an unexpected ethical crisis. Porsche Robinson, armed with legal leverage and personal motives, intervenes. She insists the test results be delayed — she and Nina need time to control the fallout. But there’s another player listening from the shadows.

Brad Cooper, always orbiting the truth, overhears the conversation and steps in with his own brand of pressure. The stakes are high. If Drew’s innocence becomes public too soon, Porsche and Nina’s carefully constructed plan will collapse. Isaiah finds himself trapped in a vice of moral duty and professional peril. Every pulse of the analyzer feels like a ticking time bomb. With Porsche’s cold determination and Brad’s rising panic, Isaiah’s integrity may be the only thing standing between justice and manipulation.

Family Secrets Explode at the Quartermaine Mansion

Across town at the opulent Quartermaine estate, champagne sparkles in crystal flutes, but the atmosphere is anything but celebratory. Brooklyn Quartermaine drops a bombshell on her grandmother Tracy — a long-held secret of a teenage pregnancy she’s hidden from the world.

Tracy, stunned but composed, offers her support. But Brooklyn, vulnerable and trembling, doesn’t fully trust the family matriarch. In the privacy of Tracy’s study, the two women navigate years of mistrust and betrayal. Brooklyn relives the fear and isolation that came with her decision to hide the pregnancy. Tracy, in a rare moment of softness, swears she’ll protect Brooklyn’s secret. But can the iron-willed Tracy really keep such a revelation under wraps, especially when power plays often override sentiment?

Trouble Brewing at Kelly’s

At Kelly’s Diner, the late afternoon sun filters through lace curtains as Maxie Jones sips her latte. Her sharp instincts kick in as she watches Lois Cerullo grow increasingly anxious. Lois’s mood has been off all morning, her small talk more clipped than usual. When Maxie finally presses her for the truth, Lois breaks.

What she reveals — though incomplete — changes everything. Lois knows about Brooklyn’s secret child. But just as she’s about to divulge names, a message from Tracy flashes across her phone screen. Silenced by the weight of that name and what it represents, Lois retreats, fearing she’s already in too deep in Tracy’s complicated web.

Love on the Brink: Lulu and Dante Collide

At the Corinthos home, tension crackles in the air as Lulu Spencer confronts Dante Falconeri. The emotional pressure finally bursts as she questions his unwavering support of Brooklyn.

“Do I even matter to you?” Lulu asks, her voice trembling with vulnerability. Dante is caught off-guard. He insists he treats both women fairly, but Lulu’s pain says otherwise.

Then, a raw confession: “I love you,” she whispers, breaking through her own barriers.

Dante falters, guilt and confusion etched across his face. Unable to respond, he walks away, leaving Lulu shattered in the echo of silence. Their once-hopeful connection now dangles precariously, unspoken love lost in pride and miscommunication.

Youthful Rebellion Turns Dangerous

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Morgan barn, young Danny Morgan and Rocco Falconeri flirt with rebellion. Underage and emboldened by mischief, they sneak swigs of stolen liquor. What starts as a laugh-filled escapade quickly turns serious when police sirens wail in the distance.

Caught red-handed, the boys are hauled in for underage drinking. Dante receives the call and races to the station, only to find Jason Morgan already there. United by family ties and concern, the men prepare to face the fallout of the boys’ reckless choices. The cold, sterile holding cell is a stark reminder that even the innocent can stumble — and consequences always follow.

Final Reckonings and Unanswered Questions

Back at General Hospital, as night falls and the sterile glow of the forensics wing flickers, Carly makes her decision. Clutching her phone, she walks into Willow’s apartment and lays the truth bare. The video plays once more — Nina’s deception, Justinda’s betrayal, Drew’s innocence.

Willow’s expression turns to stone as the truth sinks in. Together, they confront Drew. His reaction is immediate and visceral. As the image freezes on Nina’s betrayal, fury replaces disbelief. Drew now knows the enemy, and he’s ready to fight.

But just as one secret surfaces, others ripple through Port Charles. Tracy holds Brooklyn’s truth in her hands. Maxie begins connecting dots. Isaiah’s ethics hang in the balance. And Dante’s family is fraying at the seams.

Port Charles, once again, stands at the brink of chaos. And Monday’s events are only the beginning.
