Full ABC Recap: General Hospital Spoilers for Tuesday, May 6, 2025 — Port Charles Shaken by Secrets, Scandals, and a Mob King’s Legacy in Peril

Port Charles is poised for seismic shifts as General Hospital’s Tuesday, May 6th episode promises a perfect storm of emotional confessions, rising tensions, and dangerous reckonings. From a teen’s near-fatal beach incident to betrayals in the hospital corridors and mob intrigue with legacy-defining stakes, the residents of this iconic town are hurtling toward consequences they can’t outrun.

A Bonfire Turns Deadly: Rocco’s Crisis Sparks Fear and Fallout

What began as a carefree college bonfire under the dusky skies of Port Charles spirals into terror when Rocco Falconeri is found unconscious on the beach. The culprit? A spiked punch bowl that turned teenage rebellion into a brush with death.

Danny Morgan—curious, kind-hearted, and far too young to be tangled in life-or-death decisions—discovers Rocco’s limp body beneath the flickering glow of the fire. As the surf rolls ominously nearby, Danny faces a harrowing dilemma: call for help and risk exposing his own attendance at the forbidden party, or stay silent and hope Rocco recovers on his own?

The ripple effects of this incident are only beginning. Rocco’s parents—Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer—remain unaware, their focus pulled in a very different, emotionally charged direction.

Lulu and Dante: Old Flames, Lingering Sparks

In the quiet confines of a Port Charles café, Dante bares his soul. He admits his heart remains torn—his current partner, Sam McCall, may have his love, but a part of him still belongs to Lulu, the mother of his child and the woman who shaped his past.

The confession hits Lulu like a thunderclap. She’s stunned, hopeful, and quietly overwhelmed. There’s no immediate reconciliation, but the crack in Dante’s emotional armor leaves room for possibility. Their future, long thought fractured, now shimmers with a fragile hope.

Campus Deceit: Emma Scorpio Drake’s Dreams Sabotaged

Over at Port Charles University, Emma Scorpio Drake finds her academic future hanging by a thread. Her precious thumb drive—containing a critical project for the infamously strict Professor Henry “Hank” Dalton—goes missing, threatening her chance at a prestigious research assistantship.

Behind the scheme is Josslyn Jacks, whose simmering envy has driven her into morally murky waters. She stages the return of the thumb drive with the precision of a seasoned manipulator, setting a trap disguised as an accident.

Unknown to Emma, Josslyn isn’t acting alone—her alliance with a mysterious figure named Vaughn suggests a deeper agenda. Is it merely jealousy, or is there something more clandestine at play?

Hospital Showdown: Brad Cooper Demands His Due

Within the sterile walls of General Hospital, tensions boil over. Brad Cooper, long a reluctant accomplice to Portia Robinson’s shadowy schemes, finally reaches his breaking point.

Their confrontation is electric. Brad demands more than survival—he wants status, power, and payback. Portia, cornered and visibly shaken, must decide whether to cut him in or cut him loose. One thing is certain: this power struggle could reshape the hierarchy inside GH forever.

Willow’s Doubts, Nina’s Lies, and Drew’s Fight for Redemption

Willow Tait paces her living room under moonlight, her heart burdened by doubt. The ketamine in Drew Cain’s system lends credence to his claims of being drugged, but the truth is murky. Nina Reeves, meanwhile—secretly the orchestrator of Drew’s drugging—walks a tightrope of guilt and deception.

Their conversation, fraught with tension and half-truths, peels back the layers of manipulation. Willow must ask herself: Is she trusting the man she loves, or clinging to a version of him that no longer exists?

Carly’s Tearful Warning: A Mother’s Plea

Down by the quiet boathouse, Carly Spencer delivers a crushing emotional warning to someone she loves—likely Danny, whose beachside involvement may be closer to exposure than anyone realizes.

“You’ll regret it for the rest of your life,” she says, her voice cracking beneath the weight of experience and maternal fear. Her words echo like a prophecy, urging Danny to learn from her scars before making his own.

Drew’s Quest for Truth, Tracy’s Dangerous Accusations

At the PCPD, Drew Cain confronts Mac Scorpio, vowing to unearth who framed him. His suspicions target the ever-strategic Tracy Quartermaine, whose chilling smirk at a charity gala lingers in his memory.

Meanwhile, Tracy is embroiled in another battle—accusing Lois Cerullo of mishandling Brook Lynn’s adoption case, while unknowingly inching closer to discovering a devastating truth: Giovani “Gio” Palmieri is her great-grandson.

The Fall of a Kingpin? Sonny Corinthos at a Crossroads

After three decades of power, Sonny Corinthos is teetering on the edge of an uncertain future. Once the undisputed ruler of Port Charles’s underworld, Sonny is now a man betrayed—his medication tampered with, his health failing, and enemies circling.

A near-fatal cardiac episode prompts Sonny to undergo secret surgery, with only Carly and trusted bodyguard Brick by his side. As he battles to survive, fans wonder: Is this Maurice Benard’s swan song?

A Dream from the Beyond: Mike’s Message from the Afterlife

As Sonny lies sedated, his subconscious takes him to Bobbie’s Diner, where he’s greeted by his late father, Mike Corbin. Their heart-to-heart stirs something in Sonny—a longing for peace, a weariness of violence. Could this vision prompt the mobster to finally walk away?

Assassination Attempt: A Hospital Nightmare

But even dreams offer no safety. In a chilling twist, a would-be assassin disguised as a nurse infiltrates Sonny’s hospital room. Syringe in hand, she closes in—until Brick intervenes in a pulse-pounding moment, neutralizing the threat in a blaze of gunfire.

The attempt leaves viewers breathless—and speculating. Was this personal vengeance or the first salvo in a new mob war?

Legacy on the Line: Who Will Take Sonny’s Throne?

With Sonny’s potential retirement looming, speculation runs wild. Names like Tracy Quartermaine—poised to trade boardrooms for bullets—are whispered in hushed tones. Others wonder if a forgotten Corinthos relative or ambitious associate might rise.

But the ultimate question remains: Can anyone match Sonny’s brutal charm and iron rule? Or is his exit the beginning of a power vacuum too volatile to control?

Emma’s Secrets: Student or Spy?

Meanwhile, Emma Scorpio Drake’s story takes an espionage-tinged turn. Her past includes a sealed arrest record from California—and her obsession with Professor Dalton has red flags waving.

Her grandmother, Anna Devane, isn’t fooled. With her WSB instincts flaring, Anna suspects Emma’s ambitions may be a cover for something far more covert—perhaps even connected to the DVX.

And she’s not alone. Josslyn Jacks, recently revealed as a fledgling WSB agent, is locked in a quiet war with Emma over Dalton’s research role—suggesting both young women may be agents on a converging mission.

As secrets multiply and alliances shift, General Hospital continues to deliver thrilling, heart-stopping drama. From familial fractures to mob machinations, May 6 is just the beginning. One thing is certain—Port Charles will never be the same.

Stay tuned.
