Missed this morning's spoilers? Monday's preview called the boarding school fight but not the ER scramble.

Previously on General Hospital

Friday, Valentin and Lulu agreed to send Charlotte away, and the hour ended with Sidwell and Curtis beaten in Pentonville by men invoking Sonny's name. Friday's recap has the full breakdown.

Did Charlotte really leave General Hospital?

Yes, at least for now. Charlotte fought the boarding school decision hard, but Lulu brought the conversation back to the real reason: Charlotte's false claim that Drew had assaulted her, and what it could have cost him. That argument landed.

How did Charlotte take the news?

She stopped arguing and asked for one thing before she left town, a chance to say goodbye to Danny. They met at the docks, and by most accounts it was the rawest scene of the hour. Neither of them treated it like a short trip.

Rocco and Danny also patched things up. Rocco had been the one who told Carly about Charlotte's scheme, and that truce meant Danny heard the boarding school news from his brother before anyone else got to him.

What happened to Curtis and Sidwell on GH today?

Both men were brought into General Hospital straight from Pentonville, hurt badly enough that the ER scenes carried the episode. Curtis said the attackers made themselves clear before they left: this was on Sonny's orders. Sidwell, in worse shape, gave a shorter answer to who was behind it, but it pointed the same direction.

Is Sidwell going to die on General Hospital?

It's not looking good. Justine tried to press him for more details, and before she could finish, Sidwell went into cardiac arrest. The episode didn't confirm whether he survived the code, which is exactly the kind of cliffhanger GH likes to sit on over a commercial-heavy week.

Does Dante think Sonny ordered the Pentonville attack?

It's leaning that way. Dante is a detective with a personal stake in this one, and today put him in the middle: two men in ICU, both naming his father, on a case he can't easily hand off. GH didn't spell out his next move, but the doubt is planted.

Are Sonny and Justine still hiding their relationship?

For the moment, yes, and today made the stakes clearer. Justine is worried about Dante finding out, on top of everything else with his job. Sonny insisted they're still undetected. Justine's answer was blunt: if either of them starts feeling exposed, they walk away.

That conversation happened the same day Sonny's name got tied to a prison beating, which is not the kind of timing this couple needed.

What did Carly ask Lucas about Valentin?

Carly went to her brother for a reality check on the Charlotte fallout, and Lucas turned it back on her. He pointed out how close she and Valentin had gotten while working together against Jack, and asked her straight out whether she'd fallen for him. Carly didn't get a clean answer out before the scene moved on.

Separately, Valentin leaned on Anna, owning up to brushing off Lulu's warnings about Charlotte for months. Anna's read: boarding school gives Charlotte structure, and Valentin finally gave Lulu credit for seeing the problem first.

The biggest moment

Sidwell coding mid-interrogation. 👉 It cuts off the one conversation that might have pinned the Pentonville attack on Sonny for good, right as Dante starts doubting his own father.

What happens on General Hospital Tuesday?

Early previews for Tuesday point to Dante's suspicions getting harder to ignore, Jason stepping in to support Danny, and Jordan opening up to Michael in the wake of Curtis's injuries. None of that is confirmed by the episode itself yet, so treat it as the direction rather than the result.
