General Hospital heads into mid-week with a big hour as the fallout from the Spoon Island mess continues. The latest spoilers video for Wednesday, July 22, 2026, shows Carly questioning the box in her home, Lulu knowing what she has to do, and Curtis already showing that he might be trouble.

Jack’s Black Box

Jack (Chris McKenna) still doesn’t know where his black box is, but the search for it gave him a nice night with Nina (Cynthia Watros). Now, he has to meet with Anna (Finola Hughes) for the first time since he’s been back and answer all her burning questions. The first one being about what really happened on Pier 55 when Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) was shot. Jack knows who pulled the trigger, but will he tell Anna?

Over at Carly’s (Laura Wright) house, Jack and his black box are topics of conversation as Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) lays out his plan on how he is going to get it open. Carly worries that Jack might kill him when he accomplishes his goal.

Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) is frank with Lulu (Alexa Havins) as he tries to convince her that letting Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) live with Valentin at least part-time is for the best. Even if she lived with her father full-time, she could still see Lulu. Does Dante even suggest that? Would Lulu even go for it?

Or will Charlotte end up living with Carly as a compromise? Lulu knows she has to do something because her situation with both of her kids is untenable at the moment.

Parental Problems Part 2

And finally we have the new non-traditional Ashford family. Everything is going great so far, but how long can it last? With Portia (Brook Kerr) ready to take the baby home, Curtis (Donnell Turner) is ready to go with them and spend his first night in Portia’s house as a family.

The look on Portia’s face shows she is not quite comfortable with that, as spending the night in the same home was never part of the plan.

Would Jordan (Tanisha Harper) even like that? Is she even thinking about it since she is busy having an odd conversation with Michael (Rory Gibson) of all people?

Who should Charlotte live with? Should Anna really be back at work? Share your thoughts in the comments.
