ABC’s General Hospital Full Episode Recap – Monday, September 29, 2025: “Any Other Guests Attending the Funeral?”

Posted on by Hellen

In an episode packed with mystery, betrayal, resurrection, and courtroom scheming, General Hospital delivered one of its most dramatic Monday installments to date. Titled “Any Other Guests Attending the Funeral?”, the September 29, 2025 episode was a masterclass in soap opera storytelling, weaving together long-lost family secrets, battles over inheritance, and shocking revelations that could change the fabric of Port Charles forever.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the chaos that unfolded in this must-watch episode.

👻 A Stranger in the Crypt: Monica’s Long-Lost Sister Appears

The Quartermaine family was rocked to its core when Tracy Quartermaine discovered a mysterious woman lingering in Monica’s crypt. The emotional gravity of the moment was heightened by the crypt’s silence, broken only by Tracy’s gasp as she laid eyes on the unfamiliar face.

The woman, as teased in last week’s cliffhanger, claims to be Monica’s lost sister—an assertion that leaves Tracy both stunned and skeptical. “Monica never mentioned a sister,” Tracy snaps, her voice laced with suspicion and grief. With Monica gone, Tracy stands alone as the family’s matriarch, determined to protect the Quartermaine legacy.

Enter Martin Grey. The trusted lawyer appears on Monday’s episode with documents—and explanations—in hand. He confirms the stranger’s identity as legitimate, revealing a complicated backstory involving Monica’s parents, a secret adoption, and years of estrangement.

But is this newcomer here for reconciliation… or something else?

💰 The Battle for the Quartermaine Estate Begins

As Monica’s estate becomes the new battleground, familiar faces begin circling like vultures. Drew Cain is front and center, asserting his right to a sizable portion of the Quartermaine fortune. “I earned my place in this family,” he tells Ned, who coldly reminds him, “Inheritance isn’t earned, Drew. It’s given.”

Drew’s bid for power doesn’t stop at declarations. In a morally dubious turn, he begins drafting a fake will, one that conveniently names him as Monica’s primary heir. The move is risky, especially with Jason Morgan and Michael Corinthos looming as the most likely—and legally grounded—beneficiaries.

Jason remains stoic but observant. Michael, ever the tactician, is already working behind the scenes to uncover the real will before Drew’s forgery can surface. The stakes couldn’t be higher. With control of ELQ hanging in the balance, this will contest may tear the family apart.

🧬 Nathan Returns from the Dead — Or Did He Ever Die?

In what may be General Hospital’s most jaw-dropping twist in years, Nathan West—believed to have died seven years ago—is alive. Nina Reeves, reeling from her own troubles, confides in Liesl Obrecht, Britt Westbourne, and an uncharacteristically calm Ava Jerome.

Liesl is visibly shaken. She witnessed Nathan’s lifeless body in a casket. But Ava—stoic and eerily composed—seems less surprised. Could she have known the truth all along?

The speculation intensifies: Is Nathan a miraculous survivor… or a resurrected subject of a covert medical experiment? Britt, it seems, may be one of the scientists involved in a top-secret project to revive the dead. Her knowledge of Nathan’s whereabouts, and her silence over the years, could now cost her more than her credibility—it may destroy her already fragile relationship with her mother, Liesl.

🤐 Joss and Britt Strike a Dangerous Deal

Meanwhile, Josslyn Jacks finds herself backed into a corner. Her secret—that she’s been spying on Carly at Jason’s request—threatens to implode the Corinthos family once again. Seeking damage control, she turns to Britt for help.

Joss begs her: “Don’t tell Carly. She can’t know. Not yet.” Reluctantly, Britt agrees—for now. But longtime fans know Britt Westbourne doesn’t do well under pressure. One slip-up, one heated argument, and the truth could come tumbling out.

In a scene crackling with tension, Britt later vents her frustration to a confidante, calling Carly a “foolish mother who’s blind to what her daughter has become.” Is Britt merely lashing out, or planting seeds of deeper betrayal?

💔 Willow and Liz Clash Over Drew

In the emotional aftermath of Willow Tait’s ongoing custody battle, Elizabeth Webber steps in with some tough love. She warns her friend against rekindling her romance with Drew, calling him “greedy, manipulative, and dangerous when cornered.”

Willow, however, is unmoved. To her, Drew is the only one with the power to help her regain custody of her children. “He has resources, Liz. I don’t,” she replies, tears welling in her eyes.

This philosophical divide threatens to fracture their friendship, with Elizabeth left wondering how far Willow is willing to go—and what she’s willing to compromise—to reclaim her family.

🧠 James Meets His Father—Again

As the episode nears its emotional climax, Cody and Felicia prepare James for the unthinkable: meeting his father, Nathan, who James has believed dead for most of his young life. They arrive at General Hospital, where Nathan awaits, equally nervous and uncertain.

The moment is bittersweet. James hesitates before entering the room, clutching a drawing he made years ago of the father he thought he’d never meet. Doctors believe James may be the key to restoring Nathan’s memory, which remains fragmented and volatile. Emotional connections, especially with loved ones, are crucial to his recovery.

“You look just like the photo,” James whispers as he approaches. Nathan, eyes filled with tears, reaches out. The screen fades to black as their hands touch—leaving fans desperate to know what happens next.

Final Thoughts: A Legacy on the Brink

Monday’s General Hospital was a mosaic of past sins and future consequences. From secrets unearthed in the Quartermaine crypt to whispered alliances in hospital corridors, the episode leaves viewers with more questions than answers.

  • Who is Monica’s sister really, and what are her intentions?

  • Will Drew succeed in rewriting history, or will Jason and Michael stop him in time?

  • Is Nathan’s return a miracle—or a scientific abomination?

And perhaps most poignantly: Can Port Charles survive the secrets it’s buried?

Tune in all week for more shocking revelations, family betrayals, and explosive truths as General Hospital enters one of its most thrilling arcs in recent memory.
