Major developments to expect on General Hospital from December 23 to 27, 2024
1) The reunion
Christmas 2024 on General Hospital brings long-awaited relief to the Spencer family as Laura finally welcomes both her children back home under safe conditions. After four difficult years with Lulu in a long coma and Lucky hiding, their return marks a joyous yet bittersweet milestone for the family.
Despite the happiness surrounding their reunion, there are still some worries. Lucky’s struggle to navigate the problems after his return and Charlotte’s absence makes the celebrations feel a little sad.
This week’s General Hospital spoilers reveal that Laura, Lucky, and Lulu will come together to celebrate Christmas, appreciating the time they have, even with their challenges. They honor Luke’s memory and draw strength from one another. Lulu, on the other hand, full of hope and determination, vows to find Charlotte and bring her home to complete their family.
2) Clash of the two giants
The holidays in Port Charles are anything but peaceful, as Sonny Corinthos gets into a heated argument with Jack Brennan. Carly’s unexpected choice to have the WSB agent join the Corinthos family’s Christmas Eve dinner creates a tense situation between the two men. Even though Brennan acts friendly and tries to shake Sonny’s hand, Sonny doesn’t respond warmly.
Speculation surrounds why Sonny dislikes Brennan. Maybe it’s because Sonny feels jealous about how Carly seems to get along well with the agent, suggesting they might have a closer relationship. Or maybe Sonny thinks there’s something more dangerous going on.
With his sharp instinct, Sonny might be figuring out that Brennan could be connected to Valentin and the Pikeman Group’s shady dealings earlier this year, including the mysterious tampering with his medication.
General Hospital spoilers suggest the confrontation between Sonny and Brennan will escalate, creating tension at the dinner table and in Carly’s personal life. As the week unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Sonny reveals any secrets about Brennan or if their fight will start a new conflict in Port Charles.
3) Another storm hits Port Charles
Dante and Alexis, still dealing with the loss of Sam McCall, will face new challenges this week. The custody of Sam’s children has become a major issue because her old will named Drew Cain as their guardian. This has made an already difficult situation even harder, especially since the long-standing feud between Sam’s sisters, Molly and Kristina, is further fracturing the family.
It seems like there’s already a lot of emotional stress, but spoilers for the week hint that Dante will get some shocking news that upsets him. By the end of the week, the same revelation appears to reach Alexis, leaving her equally distraught. Whether the news is connected to Sam’s tragic death, the custody battle, or the escalating drama between Molly and Kristina remains to be seen.
Fans of General Hospital can watch the new episodes of the show on ABC and Hulu.
