General Hospital (GH) spoilers update for Friday, August 12, teases that Portia Robinson’s (Brook Kerr) clock will run out while TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) delivers bad news. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) will also offer a fresh perspective, so here’s what viewers can expect.

At GH, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) will make sure Portia knows what she’s getting herself into. Since Rory Cabrera (Michael Blake Kruse) is guarding Oz Haggerty’s (Max Faugno) door, the only real option is for Portia to use her medical clearance and drug him before anyone realizes what’s happening.

Oz will be getting a very powerful reversal dose that’ll hopefully bring him out of the coma fast – far too fast for this to be considered safe. However, Portia will reiterate that she knows the risks and is only focused on the reward.

Trina Robinson’s (Tabyana Ali) verdict is coming in soon, so Portia will be determined to save her – and this might be her only chance. If Portia can wake Oz up quickly, maybe he can point the finger at Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) before it’s too late.

Once Portia puts her plan in motion, she’ll hope for the best along with Curtis. Although Portia will hope the drug has speedy results, there’ll still be a small window of waiting.

General Hospital spoilers say Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) will make a shocking arrest on Friday, but that may actually be referring to the one he already made. Dante slapped the handcuffs on Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and will eventually put him through an interrogation.

Cody will grumble about his inheritance and his beef with Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner), but Dante will suspect he might really be angry with his mom. Dominique Stanton (Shell Danielson) apparently abandoned Cody, so Dante may think his problems can be traced back to that.

Across town, Scott will have a hard time believing Dominique would keep quiet about Cody. It won’t add up to Scott, who won’t think Dominique would’ve turned her back on her son.

Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) will suggest Cody might’ve concocted this whole story or that someone else fed him the lie. Liesl, on the other hand, will contend that maybe Scott just didn’t know Dominique as well as he thought.

Britt will also examine someone’s injury on Friday’s episode, so that could be Scott’s bruised nose. Liesl already checked it out for Scott, but Britt may still look it over and rant about Cody’s hot temper.

Back at the hospital, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) will pressure Rory to put his job before love – or whatever it is that Rory’s feeling for Trina. Rory may promise he can do that, but that task could prove difficult as time goes on.

Elsewhere, TJ will suggest it’s tough it is to be the bearer of bad news, so that could mean he’ll have some for Trina. Perhaps Trina will seek Oz updates before Portia’s sneaky move and learn he’s not awake yet.

Even if Portia’s plan works exactly as intended, that doesn’t guarantee anything for Trina. Jordan already admitted that with Esme missing, it’ll be harder to get Trina off the hook.

Nevertheless, Portia will be determined to get another person of interest in this case. General Hospital spoilers say this mom will fight fiercely for her daughter, so stay tuned to ABC’s GH! CDL’s the place to be for terrific soap spoilers, updates and news, so check back often.
