General Hospital (GH) spoilers update for Friday, August 21, indicate that Ava Jerome (Maura West) will tackle a couple of very different challenges.
Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) will also get pulled into serious discussion.
The show may ultimately wrap the week up with Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) shocking encounter, so here’s what GH fans can expect.
The judge gave Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) 48 hours before he had to report to Pentonville, but his time on the outside is winding down.
Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) will steal a few extra moments in bed with Curtis, but they’ll have to get dressed soon enough.
Curtis will plan on heading over to Portia Robinson’s (Brook Kerr) place for one last farewell to his family, especially Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and Desmond Ashford.
When Trina realizes Portia doesn’t intend to stay for this tough goodbye, she’ll question her mom about it.
Since things will be uncomfortable between the exes, Portia will feel it’s best to avoid Curtis right now.
Ava Jerome (Maura West) will find Portia looking pensive elsewhere, so they’ll talk about Trina and how she’s handling Curtis’ prison sentence.
No matter what, Ava will feel confident that Trina can handle this and come out stronger on the other side.
Ava’s mission to reassure Portia will pay off, but she’ll also have another mission that involves conspiring with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) on Sonny Corinthos’ downfall.
Friday’s episode may allow Drew and Ava to put a few more details in place.
Since Jordan intends to take Curtis’ place as Aurora’s CEO while he’s locked up, she’ll get more support.
Whether Curtis once again praises his pick or someone like Laura Collins (Genie Francis) voices her approval, Jordan will appreciate it.
As for Rocco, he’ll hear Laura’s urgent request.
Laura may want Rocco to keep his guard up when it comes to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) since he knows how to get down in the mud.
If Laura realizes Rocco is spending a lot of time with Scout Quartermaine (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi) behind Drew’s back, she may worry her grandson is playing with fire.
Laura may ask Rocco to be careful and avoid stirring up more drama for Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening), who has enough to worry about as it is thanks to Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke).
However, it’s also possible Laura will remain concerned over Sidwell and the possibility that he still holds power on the outside.
Laura will warn someone about a vindictive Port Charles resident, so stay tuned to hear all the details.
In the meantime, Drew will apparently carry out a little peace charade and try to act like he’s not the same slimeball he was before.
At Pentonville, Sonny will meet with Sidwell, who won’t be surprised that his rival has finally shown up.
Sonny will hint about shifting gears and may be looking to gain the upper hand somehow when it comes to buying Sidwell’s most valuable assets.
We could also imagine Sonny pressuring Sidwell to avoid launching any further attacks – just in case Jenz has people ready to strike beyond prison walls.
Sonny may want a truce instead and offer to keep Sidwell safe behind bars in exchange for his cooperation.
Sidwell may refuse to get on board with any kind of agreement with Sonny and trade threats with him instead.
Sonny will get accused of targeting Sidwell once things take a scary turn for the villain down the line.
Curtis will get caught in dangerous chaos eventually since he’s about to become Sidwell’s cellmate.
For now, that Sidwell and Curtis cellmate revelation just might come in Friday’s cliffhanger scene!
General Hospital spoilers say Curtis has plenty of terrible news ahead of him.
