Yahoo14-05-2025
On today's General Hospital recap:
Emma accuses Josslyn of stealing her summer job, but she says she earned it fair and square. Emma says Josslyn should have told her that she was fighting for it as well and accuses her of stabbing her in the back. Josslyn apologizes for not telling her before, but Emma asks if Jax threw money at the situation, but Josslyn denies.
She tries to reassure Emma she'll let the authorities know if it turns out Dalton is experimenting on animals. Emma's angry she trusted Josslyn and calls her an untrustworthy bitch.
After Emma leaves, Josslyn snoops around Dalton's office. Vaughn lets himself in to help her scan his office. She tells him Emma is upset but he doesn't care. The two decide there's nothing incriminating there and they need to check the lab.
Nurse's Ball rehearsals continue. Sidwell stops by to see Lucy and she thanks him for underwriting the whole ball. Jenz says he's hoping it will change people's minds about him, people are more welcoming to him now.
Emma complains to Anna about Josslyn getting the job she wanted. She tells Anna she dropped her flash drive in the sand, but Josslyn found it and then realizes Josslyn sabotaged her. She thinks she should tell Dalton, but Anna warns her that she can't make an accusation without proof. Emma doesn't want Josslyn to get away with taking the job she wanted. Anna tells her to let it go.
Trina stops by to spend time with Portia while Kai is in physical therapy. She complains about the documentary crew and Drew's involvement. Portia mentions how she talked Curtis out of writing a negative article about Drew and Trina doesn't understand why. Portia says they should back off Drew and they need to find middle ground.
Curtis tells Jordan that Portia has become a Drew apologist, and he doesn't know why. He mentions how he was going to write an editorial on Drew and Portia didn't want him to. He says he's caught Portia and Drew in conversation, and he thinks something is off. Curtis worries Drew has leverage on Portia. Jordan tells him to speak with Portia.
Laura begs Sonny not to give the piers to Sidwell, he's a terrible man, who kidnapped Lucky. Sonny says he doesn't trust Sidwell, but he has to make a deal with the devil, in terms of the referendum. He says he's a burden to her politically, but Laura doesn't want Sidwell to build up his criminal empire here. Laura realizes Sonny is planning on leaving the business.
Sonny admits it will be tricky because he won't be leaving town. He will have a target on his back and will need security. Sonny wants a fresh start and thinks the transition will be peaceful with Sidwell. Laura's concern is what Sidwell is planning on doing in Port Charles. She says Sonny has kept the peace, but Sidwell doesn't care about that. Sonny says it's not his responsibility to keep Sidwell in check. Laura decides to fully support Sonny if this is what he wants.
Lulu says it's important she find out who the child is, but Carly doesn't understand why. Carly says if she does this, Lulu will be making a huge mistake. Lulu insists she just needs to find out who the child is before she decides if she'll tell Dante. Carly accuses Lulu of playing God with other people's lives.
Lulu says she thinks she already knows who the child is, and Dante has already been interacting with him without knowing it. She tells Carly the child is Gio and explains the possible connection. Lulu tells Carly about the argument between Dante and Gio and how Lois defended him.
Carly can't believe Lois would keep this from Brook Lynn but Lulu's not certain she doesn't know the truth. Lulu says if Gio is their son, she needs to tell Dante. Carly says if it turns out to be Gio and Lulu tells him the truth it will destroy the memory of the family that he had. Lulu thinks it's best for everyone involved but Carly says she needs to let it go.
Lulu disagrees and points out Sonny would be his grandfather, but Carly says she wouldn't tell him. Lulu reminds Carly that Lois asked Sonny to help pay for Gio's education because she knew the connection. She says if it turns out Gio isn't the child, she'll drop it but if he is, she'll tell Dante. Carly tells her to make sure she has proof.
Tracy tells Jason that Brook Lynn gave up a baby for adoption and wants Jason to find him. Jason says if Brook Lynn wants her son found, he should be talking to her. Tracy admits Brook Lynn doesn't know but that the child is her great grandchild and has to know who he is.
She thinks the child should have been raised a Quartermaine, but Jason doesn't necessarily see that as a blessing. Tracy says the child should know his legacy, but Jason says he's not getting involved.
Tracy barters, telling Jason if he finds the child, she'll stop going after Sonny in regard to the referendum on the piers. She says that's how much this means to her and trusts Jason to do it for her. Tracy believes the child deserved to know that he's a Quartermaine. Jason says he can't because he has to respect Brook Lynn's decision so Tracy counters she won't stop until Sonny is gone.
Jason checks in with Sonny, who tells him about his conversation with Laura. Jason mentions Tracy's willingness to back off for a favor, but he won't do it. Sonny says he has to do what's right for his family.

Woman who appeared on Escape to the Country to find 'perfect life' dies of alcoholism

A woman who appeared on a BBC programme with aspirations to live out her dream life in Norfolk died after struggling with alcoholism. An inquest into the death of Emma Izzard heard that the 53-year-old passed away at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital (N&N) last November. Miss Izzard had previously appeared on an episode of the BBC program Escape to the Country, with her then partner Kym Lofthouse. Host Ginny Buckley had been given the job of helping the couple, who lived near Luton in Bedfordshire, to find their perfect Norfolk home Emma Izzard (left) appeared on the BBC's Escape to the Country (Image: BBC) They had opted to move to the county in search of "cleaner air" and a slower pace of life. And while the couple did eventually make the move to North Walsham, they ended up parting ways but remained friends. In a statement to Norfolk Coroner's Court, Miss Lofthouse revealed Miss Izzard's struggles with alcoholism. She said: 'Emma was a larger-than-life character who was very popular both in and outside of her work, and she had many friends. 'She was very caring but had had personal struggles earlier in her life that she was unable to deal with.' Emma Izzard (far right) appeared on the BBC's Escape to the Country (Image: BBC) The court also heard that her father had been an alcoholic who died suddenly during Miss Izzard's teenage years. And her mother, who had died shortly before Miss Izzard's own passing, struggled with mental ill health – something Miss Izzard supported her with. Miss Lofthouse added: 'Emma had a very strong bond with her mother. 'Emma lived with her for many years and continued to look after her even when she did move out. '[Emma's] alcohol levels increased when her mother was taken to hospital in July 2022, and she thought she was going to lose her. 'After six months of secret drinking, she wanted to stop but couldn't get the help required quickly enough and began drinking again.' READ MORE: READ MORE: During the next two years, Miss Izzard would go on to self-fund multiple stints in rehabilitation as well as an at-home detox, but relapses caused her drinking 'to become heavier'. She also attended AA meetings and received some help from alcohol misuse charity Change Grow Live (CGL). 'Emma did not want to drink but it had taken a strong hold of her,' Miss Lofthouse said. 'And she didn't and couldn't deal with her problems. 'Her drinking became heavier, and she became desperate.' Emma Izzard died at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital last year (Image: Facebook) On the evening of November 19, Miss Izzard, of Willow Close, North Walsham, was taken by ambulance to the N&N after she began vomiting blood. Once there, she went into cardiac arrest but was revived. The following day, she arrested again while receiving a gastroscopy and died in the operating theatre. A doctor's report gave the medical cause of death as oesophageal and variceal bleed, with alcohol-related liver disease. Summing up the evidence to the court, area coroner Johanna Thompson explained how Miss Izzard had tried to get help for her addiction. She said: 'Emma had a history of excess alcohol consumption and had been diagnosed with alcohol-related liver disease. 'At the hospital, Emma was clearly presenting as very poorly. She was white, dehydrated, and was considered to have symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal. 'Sadly, after being given surgery, treatment could not save her at the end of the day.' Ms Thompson concluded her was an alcohol-related death. The court also heard that Miss Izzard worked as a general assistant for a charity and dealt with day-to-day life 'competently when not drinking'.

Ben Shelton's sister becoming Wimbledon star after viral moment

Emma Shelton, the sister of American tennis sensation Ben Shelton, nearly stole the spotlight during his run at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. Ben Shelton isn't the only tennis star in his family. Emma Shelton, the sister of the 22-year-old tennis phenom, has become a breakout star during her brother's run at Wimbledon — and has gotten plenty of TV time during Shelton's run at the All England Club. Advertisement It started when Shelton defeated Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in straight sets to reach the Round of 16 on Saturday. Following the match, Shelton gave Emma a shout-out, calling her his 'lucky charm' throughout the tournament, and explained she needed more PTO from her job at Morgan Stanley to stay in London to support him. (L-R) Ben Shelton's mom Lisa, his girlfriend Trinity Rodman girlfriend and his sister Emma react to him telling the Wimbledon crowd that Emma needs more days off from work to stay at the tournament in London.

REUTERS 'My sister's here,' Shelton said after his victory on Saturday. 'She's been here for every match I've played in this tournament so far. She's been the lucky charm. But she has work back in the U.S. starting on Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley.' The crowd began booing as the camera focused on Emma, who was laughing while covering her mouth with her hands. Advertisement 'Ay ay ay! Come on now,' Shelton continued. 'So if any of y'all have some connects and can get her a couple extra days off, we're gonna keep this rolling and that would be great.' Shelton's parents and his girlfriend, USWNT star Trinity Rodman, were seen laughing. Emma, a former college tennis player at the University of Florida and South Carolina, is a digital virtual engagement associate at Morgan Stanley in Georgia, according to her LinkedIn profile. She played two seasons with the Gamecocks women's tennis team before transferring to the University of Florida, where her father serves as the head coach of the men's team.

AP In the 2022-23 season, her last, Emma was a perfect 5-0 in singles play at the Bedford Cup en route to claiming the Green bracket individual title.

She was seen jumping up and down in the clip.

REUTERS Emma returned to the All England Club on Monday for Ben's fourth-round victory over Italian Lorenzo Sonego, and was seen sitting with Rodman and parents Bryan and Lisa. '[Emma's] still around here because Ben's urging probably helped her company, her employer … let her stay a little longer and skip a little more work,' one of the announcers said as cameras captured Shelton's family in the stands. Advertisement The announcers also discussed the boos that came during Emma's previous appearance. Ben Shelton in action at Wimbledon on July 7, 2025. REUTERS 'Were those boos just because she works back in the U.S.?' one of the announcers said. 'I am not sure,' another broadcast replied. 'But you know what they, you gotta keep the rhythm going. A lot of players they like when they look up at the player's box and see the same people seeing in the same area time and time again. So maybe for Ben it is important to see Emma with mom, dad, coach in that order.' Shelton dropped the first set to Sonego before winning the final three. He will face the winner of the match between top-seeded Jannik Sinner and veteran Grigor Dimitrov.
