General Hospital Recap Tuesday, October 13, 2026: Willow Sues Lulu as Josslyn Dares Sonny

Correction (Oct. 14): removed a claim that Sonny offered to match the winning bid and one that Quinn arrived late (neither is in the recaps); the Drew timing was loosened; the high-bidder detail is credited to Soap Opera Digest only.

Tuesday, October 13, 2026 · Ep. #16065 as listed by TVmaze (60 min, 2 p.m. ET start, read at 4 p.m. ET Oct. 13) · ABC.

Bottom line: Willow is suing Lulu for libel. A process server showed up at the end of the Tuesday, Oct. 13 General Hospital, right after Lulu said she would not retract her article about Drew and Sidwell. Earlier, Josslyn told Sonny to back off the piers and he went home planning to dig into Hudson.

Two full recaps from Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera News were up by Tuesday afternoon, and everything stated flatly below is in both. Details only one outlet had are in the table near the end. If you missed Monday, Monday's recap has the auction itself.

Previously on General Hospital

Monday ended with Hudson claiming the piers for Josslyn, while Drew and Lulu fought over her article. Our Sonny explainer keeps the list of people turning on him, and Friday's recap has Sidwell's first denial.

What did Sonny do after losing the piers?

He tried to buy them back, and it didn't work. Sonny and Ric found Josslyn and Hudson after the auction, and Sonny demanded she sell the piers to him. Josslyn refused, said the waterfront would be developed through JJE, and walked out.

At Sonny's house the two men decided Josslyn's real aim is to take Sonny down. Sonny said he will always love her but won't let her destroy him. Rather than go at her head-on, they chose to look into Hudson, whom they see as the way in.

Josslyn and Hudson went back to a hotel suite and opened champagne. Per Soap Opera Digest, Josslyn was delighted to learn Sonny had been the high bidder she beat.

Why is Willow suing Lulu on General Hospital?

Because of the article. Lulu insisted her article about Sidwell is true and that she has proof to back it up. Elizabeth came to confront her over how she got the interview, and Dante urged her to retract. She wouldn't pull it.

Instead she said a follow-up story was coming. That's when the process server arrived. Willow is suing for libel.

The timing is rough for Lulu. She spent Monday arguing with Drew over the article, and Tuesday it came back at her from three directions at once.

What are Drew and Ava planning?

To deny everything. Drew told Ava he will deny the claims in Lulu's article, and the two agreed Trina can't learn the truth. Drew also showed up at the lounge, which surprised Ava.

Who sent Trina the roses?

Nobody has said. After Trina's performance, Emma brought her flowers with a note from a "biggest fan." Trina guessed Kai. He said they weren't from him.

What did Carly and Valentin decide about Anna?

Carly asked Anna to mentor Josslyn and wanted Valentin to reach out to her. Valentin agreed to contact Anna. Both recaps have the two worrying about Josslyn owning the piers; the details differ, so see the second table.
