General Hospital spoilers and updates for the week of Monday, May 20-Friday, May 24, 2024, tease courtroom drama, explanations and failures.

Coming Up On General Hospital

But it looks like she wasn’t expecting to see him in court, and he gives her an angry and hard look.

Alexis remains confident at least on the outside as she says she has the right to face her accuser.
