General Hospital Spoilers For Thursday, August 20, 2026

Ric Spirals Over Liz And Dante

Ric's romantic plans might fail when he sees Liz (Elizabeth "Liz" Baldwin) and Dante (Dante Zamprogna) in a seemingly compromising situation. Ric arrived with an engagement ring but found Dante on Liz’s sofa with his pants off. Although Dante injured his knee and Liz was helping him, Ric's jealousy might prevent him from understanding. After witnessing several close moments between Liz and Dante, Ric could suspect an affair. Liz will be upset by Ric's assumptions, especially when he tries to control who stays in her home. Ric might storm off, but his jealousy lingers.

Liz Opens Up To Dante

Once Ric leaves, Liz can talk honestly with Dante, possibly admitting her worries about Ric's jealousy. Although she understands the situation seemed suspicious, Liz dislikes Ric's lack of trust. Dante might offer sympathy, but ironically, their growing bond could increase Ric's jealousy, potentially pushing Liz and Dante closer.

Carly Makes A Realization

Carly (Laura Wright) realizes Lulu (Alexa Havins Bruening) might still love Dante and want to rebuild their family. She may encourage Lulu to be honest with Dante. Alternatively, Carly's realization could involve the conflict with Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). Either way, Carly offers advice that gives Lulu much to consider.

Lulu Has Words With Valentin

Lulu and Valentin face rising tensions, with Charlotte as a key link between them, though they disagree on her best interests. On Thursday, Lulu stands her ground during an argument, which may intensify when Ric offers her a surprising proposition. Ric, concerned about Dante's closeness to Liz, sees Lulu as a potential ally to distract Dante. However, it's uncertain if Lulu will join Ric's romantic scheme.

Anna Introduces Tristan To Josslyn

Anna (Finola Hughes) will arrange an intriguing introduction between Tristan (Dean Geyer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). The big question is why. Anna rarely makes moves without a purpose, so Tristan’s arrival in Josslyn’s orbit could become important. Josslyn already has plenty happening in her life, and meeting Tristan may add another unexpected complication.
