General Hospital spoilers: Will Lulu’s ultimatum expose Gio’s secret and push Carly over the edge at the Nurses Ball?

The Nurses Ball returns to General Hospital with all its glitz, but underneath the glamour, secrets are boiling over. On Thursday, May 22, the stage may shine, but it’s what’s unfolding behind the scenes that has Port Charles on edge. From family revelations to strained relationships and quiet threats, this episode brings sharp turns and emotional decisions.

Lulu’s threat puts Lois in a tight spot

Lulu Spencer delivers a firm warning to Lois Cerullo—either she tells Brook Lynn and Dante the truth about Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri’s real parents, or Lulu will. The secret about Gio being Brook Lynn and Dante’s son may not stay hidden much longer, as Lulu’s patience runs thin and her threat gains weight.

Dante struggles, Brook Lynn tries to mend ties

Although Gio impresses with his Ball performance, Dante remains cold toward him. Brook Lynn attempts to bridge the gap, reminding Dante to let go of his anger over Rocco’s recent alcohol incident. But it’s clear Dante’s wounds haven’t healed, and a simple gesture might not be enough to repair the emotional damage.

Power shifts and marriage trouble

While Drew Cain seems to be celebrating—with Tracy Quartermaine behind bars and Portia Robinson cooperating—Willow Tait-Corinthos steps in to challenge Ned and Olivia Quartermaine. Drew and Willow stand their ground as tensions brew. Meanwhile, Curtis Ashford contemplates a life-changing move in his marriage to Portia. With growing strain, the couple may be headed for a serious split.

Carly’s pressure mounts as Nina issues a warning

Carly Spencer finds herself in the middle of rising tension. After a past physical fight, Carly and Nina Reeves have another charged encounter. This time, Nina’s warning—“Whatever happens next… is on you”—suggests the Corinthos custody battle is far from over. Meanwhile, Carly’s meeting with Josslyn’s acquaintance, Vaughan, adds another layer of concern—especially since she doesn’t know he’s with the WSB.

Sonny and Justine: From tension to…?

Elsewhere, Sonny Corinthos shares a quiet but intense moment with ADA Justine Turner. Though their relationship is clearly strained, the line between rivalry and something deeper may be starting to blur. In Port Charles, friction often signals the start of something unexpected.

Secrets are unraveling, emotions are raw, and loyalties are shifting—Thursday’s Nurses Ball delivers tension that may change everything.
