General Hospital spoilers and updates for Thursday, July 18 tease feeling hopeless, rookie encouragement and pitching a plan.

Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) feels hopeless, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) gives some rookie encouragement and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva La Rue) pitch a plan.

General Hospital Spoilers: Feeling Hopeless

Blaze is feeling disheartened about her music career following her label dropping her and radio stations refusing to play her songs.

Her mother Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva LaRue) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) have contributed to tarnishing her reputation, along with the haters. Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), her partner, stands by her as she expresses her discouragement to someone.

She believes that there is no chance of resurrecting her career, unaware that there are plans in motion. Sonny and Natalia are hopeful that it will all come together in the end.

GH Spoilers: Confession Time In The Stables

In the Quartermaine stables, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) confides in Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). She inquires about the moment he recognized it was not something to boast about.

Maybe he’s discussing his significant mistake of keeping his knowledge about himself and Mac Scorpio (John J. York) a secret, only to blurt it out later.

Cody feels quite foolish about the whole situation and might be expressing his regret to Tracy. Tracy, on the other hand, would likely respond in a sarcastic manner about realizing it’s not something to brag about.

General Hospital Spoilers: Rookie Encouragement

Chase is having a chat with Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), the rookie, at the PCPD. He’s giving him a heads-up about what he calls “the longest five seconds of his life”. It seems like Chase is hinting at the final hurdle before Dex becomes an official rookie cop.

Currently, Dex is still a cadet, which means he’s not yet finished police school and officially become a graduate. Despite this, he’s been doing really well so far-Chase might be joking around a bit, but he’s definitely trying to encourage Dex.

GH Spoilers: Meeting At The Footbridge

Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) take a stroll to the footbridge to discuss recent events. Jason honored Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) request for more time before handing over Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) satellite phone to John “Jagger” Cates (Adam Harrington).

Little does Jason know, Valentin has already left town with Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) and the FBI’s plan fell through.

Despite feeling a twinge of guilt for implicating Valentin, Jason knows it was necessary to protect Carly. She reminds him that he stayed true to his word and did what needed to be done.

General Hospital Spoilers: Pitching A Plan

Blaze and Kristina feel disheartened about Blaze’s career, but Sonny and Natalia are optimistic because Sonny is funding a new label for Blaze.

They are now sharing their plan with Brook Lynn Quartermaine-Chase (Amanda Setton) since she will be in charge of running the label. Sonny informs Brook Lynn that they have devised a plan, and its success hinges on her.

Sonny has wisely prevented Natalia from having any control in the situation, as she would dominate the prospective label and everything else. The expression on Brook Lynn’s face reflects a mix of curiosity and concern.
