General Hospital Preview — Thursday, October 16, 2025: Secrets Shatter, Loyalties Tested, and Anna Uncovers a Game-Changer

Port Charles is teetering on the edge this Thursday, October 16, as General Hospital gears up for another explosive episode filled with betrayals, breaking points, and bombshell revelations. Secrets long buried are clawing their way to the surface, threatening relationships, alliances, and even freedom.

From Anna Devane’s game-changing discovery to Josslyn Jacks’ secret life unraveling, Thursday’s episode promises to be an emotional roller coaster that fans won’t want to miss.


Josslyn’s Dangerous Secret Is Exposed

The secret Josslyn Jacks has been keeping is about to blow wide open — and the fallout could be devastating.

While Joss believed she was being careful working undercover inside Brennan’s covert and highly dangerous operation, the truth is catching up to her. Kasein and Britt, already aware of her involvement, have chosen not to stay silent. Brennan may have threatened them both, but intimidation isn’t something either of them takes lightly.

Britt, with her trademark smirk, saw right through Brennan’s power play. And Kasein, always more calculating than he lets on, is keeping his own cards close. But the person who isn’t taking this lightly at all? Jason Morgan.

Jason, who has long been a protector and godfather figure to Josslyn, finds himself deeply shaken by the revelation. To Jason, Joss isn’t just another player in Port Charles’ deadly power games—she’s family. And the idea of her putting herself at risk under Brennan’s control crosses every line he’s drawn.

This Thursday, Jason takes the first step toward blowing the lid off Joss’s covert operation—by coming clean to Carly.


Carly’s Rage Ignites — And Brandon’s in the Crosshairs

If Jason hoped to soften the blow by easing Carly into the truth, he’s in for a rude awakening.

Once Carly learns that not only was Vaughan revealed as an agent, but her daughter has been risking her life as part of Brennan’s operation, there’s no doubt she’ll see red. She already felt betrayed when Brandon Vaughan’s real identity came to light, and learning that Joss followed a similar path without telling her? That’s likely to ignite a firestorm.

A heated confrontation is all but inevitable as Carly and Brandon come face-to-face over the tangled web of lies and omissions. Carly’s fury is personal — this isn’t about agency operations or tactical choices. This is about her daughter’s safety and the man who supposedly stood by her while keeping Joss’s secret hidden.

Will their relationship survive? Or is this the breaking point for Carly and Brandon?


Drew Doubles Down — But at What Cost?

Elsewhere in Port Charles, Drew Cain is on a mission — one that risks backfiring in a major way.

Despite mounting evidence tying Willow Tate to a high-profile criminal case, Drew is determined to see her walk free. He’s turned to Martin Grey, urging him to pull every legal string available to secure Willow’s parole.

But there’s a twist: Drew believes that Michael Corinthos should be the one arrested instead.

It’s a startling stance, especially since Michael has an airtight alibi and the police lack sufficient evidence to even justify a warrant. Still, Drew’s focus is laser-sharp, and whether it’s personal vendetta or twisted justice driving him, it’s becoming clear that he’s willing to blur moral lines to get what he wants.

Will Drew’s obsession with taking Michael down destroy what’s left of his credibility — and his sanity?


Willow Under Siege — and Nina Under Pressure

With suspicion closing in, Willow finds herself trapped between lies, betrayal, and the fear of losing her freedom. She suspects Michael may have set her up, and the tension between them is thick with blame and confusion.

Meanwhile, Nina Reeves is doing damage control. Her well-intentioned lie to the police — one she hoped would protect Willow and her granddaughter — has only made things worse. Both women now face increasing scrutiny, and the noose is tightening.

Nina needs help, fast. And that help may come from an unlikely source: Rick Lansing.


The Shocking Return of Rick Lansing — Held Hostage by the Davis Women?

This week takes a surreal turn when Cody Bell stumbles upon a discovery no one saw coming — Rick Lansing is alive and being held captive in Alexis Davis’ basement.

Cody’s disbelief quickly turns to concern. Why is Molly’s father locked away in secret, and what role do Ava, Alexis, and Kristina play in this twisted imprisonment?

Rick is desperate to explain. But more urgently, he needs out — and Cody may be the only one brave enough to defy the Davis women and expose the truth. His bold decision to help Rick escape could have far-reaching consequences, blowing apart long-standing alliances and altering public perception of the Davis clan.

Cody’s actions don’t go unnoticed either. Molly—watching from the shadows—finds herself seeing him in a new light. Could Cody’s heroism change everything between them?


Charlotte Faces Valentin’s Warning — and Anna Uncovers a New Clue

In the quieter corners of Port Charles, Charlotte Cassadine is handed a chilling warning from her father, Valentin. His tone is protective, but the subtext is clear: stay out of what’s coming.

Valentin, often cryptic and cold, knows more than he’s saying — and Charlotte, torn between loyalty and curiosity, may ignore his plea at her own peril.

But the most explosive reveal of the day belongs to Anna Devane.

The former superspy is back on the case, investigating the intricate puzzle surrounding Drew Kane’s shooting. This Thursday, she uncovers a shocking new detail — one that could blow open the investigation and possibly connect Willow to the incident in a way no one anticipated.

Is Willow more involved than anyone imagined? Could this be the link that finally makes the case crack wide open?


Thursday’s Episode: A Powder Keg Waiting to Explode

As the October 16 episode of General Hospital unfolds, nearly every major player in Port Charles finds themselves standing on shifting ground:

  • Josslyn’s secret threatens to destroy trust within her family.

  • Carly and Brandon’s relationship may not survive her fury.

  • Drew’s obsession with revenge could alienate everyone around him.

  • Willow’s fate hangs by a thread, and Nina’s missteps may cost them both.

  • Cody’s discovery risks exposing the Davis family’s darkest secret.

  • And Anna’s investigation could send shockwaves through the entire town.

In true General Hospital fashion, secrets will be spilled, alliances will fracture, and the past will claw its way into the present.
