General Hospital spoilers and updates for Tuesday, October 1 tease hurtful questions, pleasant surprises, and repentant promises. Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) asks hurtful questions, Ava Jerome (Maura West) gets pleasant surprises, and Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) makes repentant promises.

General Hospital Spoilers: Preemption Reminder

Just a reminder: this episode is set to air Thursday, October 3, but this is subject to change due to the Major League Baseball playoffs potentially interrupting Thursday’s episode as well. There’s a chance that the episode could be pushed to Friday, October 4. Stay tuned for updates, and we’ll keep you informed.

The show’s schedule for Thursday hinges on the outcome of the playoffs on Wednesday. If there’s no need for an additional day of playoff coverage, then GH will be back on both Thursday and Friday.

GH Spoilers: Hurtful Questions

Curtis discovered that Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) is set to embark on a tour with renowned jazz trombonist Wynton Marsalis. Despite managing The Savoy for Curtis, Marshall had kept this exciting news to himself, and Curtis learned about it through the grapevine.

Determined to confront him, Curtis finds Marshall at The Savoy and questions whether accepting this tour opportunity is because of him.  This is a monumental chance for Marshall, who has been striving to achieve his musical aspirations for years.

One might expect Curtis to celebrate this achievement, but instead, he worries that his father is planning to abandon him once more.

General Hospital Spoilers: Sam McCall Clears The Air

At the hospital, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) engage in a conversation where Sam expresses her desire to resolve some lingering issues.

Dante inquires if this indicates a positive shift, clearly alluding to the challenges Sam has faced in her relationships. He might be referencing either of her children’s fathers, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) or Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison).

Sam has experienced dissatisfaction regarding the dynamics between her children and their fathers. Is there finally a sense of harmony emerging in her relationship with Jason or Drew regarding  Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzin) or Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante)?

GH Spoilers: Pleasant Surprises

Ava is at her desk in the Jerome Art Gallery when a wave of pleasant surprise washes over her; she stands up with a bright smile and exclaims, “What’s going on? I definitely like the sound of that;”

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) leans in to share some news with Ava, and it seems like she has a wonderfully uplifting update. Could it be that she’s finally beginning to move past the deep sorrow she felt over Spencer Cassadine (most recently portrayed by Nicholas Chavez)?

It appears she’s been encouraged to return to Port Charles University to finish her degree, and maybe now she feels ready to take that step.

General Hospital Spoilers: Frustrating Confrontations

Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) stands by the snack machine at GH, visibly annoyed as Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) confronts him. She passionately opposes Terry Randolph’s (Cassandra James) choice to rehire Brad at the lab. As he expresses his frustration, he snaps, “What do you care if I work here or not?”

Portia’s true concern, however, lies in the possibility that Brad might discover her tampering with Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) blood test results and expose her secret. Determined to prevent that from happening, Portia is prepared to go to great lengths, even orchestrating a setup if necessary!

GH Spoilers: Repentant Promises

Lucky and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) appear to still be at Bobbie’s, engaged in a deep conversation. Lucky assures Liz that he won’t make any promises he can’t fulfill, particularly concerning Aiden Spencer (Colin Cassidy).

Over the years, Aiden has grown disillusioned with his father, a sentiment shared by Elizabeth. However, Lucky seems to have had a moment of clarity while at Lulu Spencer’s (Alexa Havins) hospital bedside.

His desire for Lulu’s forgiveness for his absence during her time of need seems to be extending to Aiden and Elizabeth, as well as the rest of his family.

General Hospital Spoilers: Not Giving Up!

Heather appears to be trapped inside Pentonville Prison, her voice echoing with frustration as she calls out to a man, possibly a guard, whose face remains hidden.

It seems she has just learned that her release is off the table due to her blood tests revealing no improvement in her cobalt poisoning—thanks to Portia’s meddling! Anger and frustration swirl within her, but she’s not one to back down easily.

She defiantly shouts that she won’t surrender without a fight! While she acknowledges her past tendencies toward violence, she believes she has made strides in not attempting to harm anyone else; her manipulative instincts, however, still linger beneath the surface.
