The 2025 edition of the GH Nurses’ Ball will be remembered not this time as much by its performances, but by the amount of storyline bombshells they stacked into the four-episode event.
On the Friday, May 23rd episode of General Hospital, the story picks back up following Gio’s (Giovanni Mazza) rage over learning that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) are his biological parents and as he believes, threw him away and never wanted him. What Gio doesn’t know is that Brook Lynn and Dante had no idea he was their son!
Lucy (Lynn Herring) tries to keep the show going once Gio made his outburst and left the stage. We also see Lois (Rena Sofer) and Brook Lynn run out after him. Meanwhile, a confused Dante gets a visit at his table from Cody (Josh Kelly) and insists the two go talk. Dante wants answers from Cody. Next, Cody admits he knew Brook Lynn had his baby. Cody says back at summer camp, Brook Lynn needed a ride to the bus station because she was pregnant. HearingDante is coming apart at the seams and needs to talk to Brook Lynn.
Outside the ballroom, Sonny (Maurice Benard), Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) and Ned (Wally Kurth) are shocked they have a grandson. Chase (Josh Swickard) happens by and he admits he knew Brook Lynn had Dante’s child when she was a in high school. The grandparents have figured out that Lois must have something to do with this. Ned doesn’t understand why Brook Lynn never confided in him. Chase says she thought it would hurt him. but he wonders if that was what Lois was thinking and wanted it kept from him.
Lulu (Alexa Havins), who has caused this big mess, gets a talking to from Carly (Laura Wright). She tells Lulu to back off and leave things alone and to let Lois, Brook Lynn, and Dante talk this out between them.At the PCPD, Mac (John J. York) calls Jason (Steve Burton) to come and help Tracy (Jane Elliot). When he gets there he points out to Tracy it was not a good idea for her to team with Drew (Cameron Mathison) to bring down Sonny. Then, Diane has worked her magic and has been able to get Tracy out of potential jail-time for her allegedly drugging Drew, which we know she didn’t do and Drew set her up. Jason gets a call (it had to be from Michael) and says he has to head out, leaving Tracy to figure out a way home to the Q’s.Lucas (Van Hansis) shows up at Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) dressed in a tux to bring the Nurses’ Ball to her since she is recovering from her broken leg thanks to Kristina cutting the brakes to Ric’s car. The subject of Wiley gets brought up, who will be performing in the closing number of the ball with other kids. Lucas says it’s a good thing he is at Liz’s, because he is not Wiley’s father anymore and he would be one of the those proud dad watching their kids if he was in the audience. Seems like Lucas and Liz’s repartee was this year’s answer to how Brad and Britt would watch the ball, eat ice-cream and talk trash about everyone on the TV.Back at the festivities, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Trina (Tabyana Ali) take to the stage to perform an original song, “I’ll Be With You,” which leaves Curtis (Donnell Turner) near tears, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) in tears, and Carly and Portia (Brook Kerr) looking on as proud mommas.
