General Hospital Recap: Nina Puts The Puzzle Pieces Together About Sasha's Pregnancy
Welcome to the 2025 Nurse's Ball......much, much later that night!!
Gio starts to walk out and gets angry when Dante stops him. Brook Lynn tells him not to blame Dante, that he didn't know she was pregnant. Gio demands answers from her, and she explains about giving birth and giving him up. Gio says she didn't want him and forgot all about him. He asks if she ever came looking for him, but she says she didn't want to upend his life. Gio storms out and Tracy tells Brook Lynn to let him go.
Dante gets angry with Brook Lynn, so Tracy decides to leave them to it. She reminds them that they've just met their son. Dante doesn't know why Brook Lynn didn't tell him, but she says they were a couple of kids in a summer romance. She says she didn't want to ruin things for him but says she never gave him a choice.
Dante says she's been lying to his face for 22 years, but she says she did what she had to do. Dante says he would have stepped up had he known but questions why she didn't tell him sooner. Brook Lynn said the only choice she had was to keep it buried and likely would never have told him.
Brook Lynn said she had no idea it was Gio even though they were living in the same house. Dante asks who else knew other than Lois and Gloria as Chase arrives. Dante realizes Chase knew about the baby and didn't say anything. Brook Lynn says Dante would have gone looking for the child, messing up his life.
Tracy returns to tell Dante not to be angry with Brook Lynn but with Lois who put it all in motion. Dante wants to know if no one else knew, how did Gio find out now.
Emma takes Gio to the bridge to help him decide what he wants to do next. Gio tells Emma about overhearing Lulu and Lois discussing him. He says he got upset when he saw everyone in the audience and wondered if they all knew. Emma asks why he smashed the violin.
Drew tells Mac to arrest Jason, but he asks for details and Willow updates him about Michael's return. Mac points out the kids are with their father, which means it's not kidnapping, but Drew insists Jason had no right to take Amelia.
Carly and Josslyn get home and are reunited with Michael. Carly wonders how Michael knew it was time to come home. He says he spoke with Diane who told him about the custody hearing and decided it was time to return. Mac shows up to discuss what happened with Amelia.
Mac returns to the station and tells Drew and Willow that Michael filed a court order for emergency custody until the official hearing.
Carly tells Michael she's glad he's home because the kids need him now. Michael asks about the hearing, and she apologizes for overstepping. Michael says she did the right thing. Later, Willow shows up at Carly's and begs Michael not to take her kids away from her.
Ned has one question for Lois, why? He can't' believe she kept this secret from him and could cut him out of the decision. He says he thought he had a good relationship with Brook Lynn, but Lois said she felt shame over getting pregnant. Lois says she did what she thought was best for Brook Lynn. Ned says he would have supported her decision, but Lois said the Qs would have swooped in and taken the baby.
Ned asks about her giving the baby to Carmella and Lois says Gio grew up and she was right there in case something went wrong. Ned says he's been living with Gio for over a year and didn't know he was his grandson. Lois says she thought she was doing right but Ned says it wasn't fair, as Olivia shows up.
Olivia says they were best friends since childhood and doesn't understand. Lois says until Olivia is in the same position she can't know. She says Brook Lynn and Gio were her priority. Olivia says she did what was best for her, but Lois throws it back in her face, saying she didn't tell Sonny he was Dante's father. Olivia says she was protecting Dante from Sonny's enemies. Lois says Gio grew up in the neighborhood and had a mother who loved him. Olivia says she let Gio believe he was an orphan when his parents were right there.
Lois says Brook Lynn wasn't ready to be a mother, but Olivia says no one ever is. Lois says Olivia gave up so much and that Lois and Brook Lynn didn't want that for her. Olivia says she made no sacrifices and no longer wants to be friends with her.
Sonny confronts Lois, telling her that he would have helped. Lois says when Brook Lynn got pregnant, they didn't know Dante was Sonny's son. Sonny asks about when Camilla died but Lois said that's when the truth about Dante came out and Sonny had a lot on his plate.
Lois says Gio and Camilla had a connection, and she didn't want to mess with that. She says the secret was originally to protect Brook Lynn and then Gio. Sonny says her asking him to pay for Gio's education was a way for him to be a part of his grandson's life without knowing it. Sonny says he appreciates what she tried to do. Lois is tearful because Brook Lynn and Olivia are angry with her and she's lost them.
Nina summons Maxie to update her on Michael's return and how he now has both kids. She says in order for Willow to get custody, she'll have to end things with Drew, but Maxie doesn't think Willow is capable. Nina says telling Willow about her fling with Drew might work but worries Willow won't forgive her. Maxie understands Nina not wanting to jeopardize her relationship and agrees she should stay quiet for now.
Maxie and Nina discuss the situation with Michael, Sasha and Jason. They note how Sasha apparently slept with Jason and is pregnant with his child but they aren't really together. Nina has a lightbulb moment and questions what night this all happened, and Maxie says it was the night before Halloween.
Nina talks to the bartender about that night, shows him a picture of Sasha and asks if he remembers her, which he does. The bartender remembers Sasha and a guy who was with her so Nina shows him a photo of Jason. The bartender recognizes Jason and says it wasn't him, so Nina shows him a photo of Michael and the bartender recognizes him.

Famous ‘Rosebud' sled from ‘Citizen Kane' sells for $14.75 million
'Rosebud,' the famed wooden sled at the heart of Orson Welles' classic 1941 movie 'Citizen Kane,' has sold at auction for $14.75 million. This was a 'remarkable' price for the 'iconic prop,' Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auctions said in a statement published Wednesday. Prior to the sale, the sled underwent scientific testing to confirm its authenticity, the auction house said. 'It bears signs of production use, including original paint, wear, and removed rails likely sacrificed to wartime scrap drives,' the statement added. 'Citizen Kane' tells the story of media mogul Charles Foster Kane, played by Welles himself, and a reporter's quest to uncover the significance of his dying word, 'Rosebud.' 'With its red paint, stenciled lettering and unmistakable aura, this sled embodies the very symbol of Kane's lost innocence and one of cinema's most enduring mysteries,' Heritage Auctions said. Of the handful of sleds used in the making of Welles' masterpiece, only three were known to have survived. Previous examples sold to Steven Spielberg for $60,500 in 1982 and an anonymous buyer for $233,000 in 1996, according to the auction house. This particular example had been owned by movie director Joe Dante since 1984. It was thought to have been lost but Dante 'stumbled upon' it while filming on the former RKO lot. He quietly preserved it and even included it in some of his own movies. 'I've had the honor of protecting this piece of cinematic history for decades,' Dante, whose films include 'Gremlins' and 'Innerspace,' said in the statement. 'To see Rosebud find a new home — and make history in the process — is both surreal and deeply gratifying. It's a testament to the enduring power of storytelling,' he said. The sale was part of Heritage Auctions' latest entertainment event, which executive vice president Joe Maddalena said was the 'most important' the auction house had ever held. Also among the pieces of Hollywood history on offer were the granite stone tablets from Cecil B. DeMille's Biblical epic 'The Ten Commandments' and Indiana Jones' bullwhip from 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.' 'These aren't just props. They're mythic objects. They tell the story of Hollywood's greatest moments, one piece at a time, each tied to a memory, a performance, a legend,' Maddalena said in the statement. 'We're honored to bring them to the fans, collectors and institutions who will preserve them for the generations to come.'

Rosebud sled from 'Citizen Kane' auctioned for $14.75 million
The Rosebud sled from "Citizen Kane," one of only three such props known to still exist, was auctioned for $14.75 million. Photo courtesy of Heritage Auctions July 17 (UPI) -- The iconic Rosebud sled from Orson Welles' 1941 film Citizen Kane was auctioned for $14.75 million, becoming the second-most expensive piece of movie memorabilia ever sold. The sled, one of only three known to still survive, has belonged to Gremlins director Joe Dante since he discovered the long-lost prop while working at the old RKO Pictures studio lot in 1984. Dante put the sled up for sale via Heritage Auctions, and it fetched a price of $14.75 million. The sum is the second-highest ever paid for a piece of movie memorabilia, after the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz were auctioned by Heritage in 2024 for $32.5 million. "I've had the honor of protecting this piece of cinematic history for decades," Dante said in a news release. "To see Rosebud find a new home -- and make history in the process -- is both surreal and deeply gratifying. It's a testament to the enduring power of storytelling."

Ron Dante, voice of the Archies, now sings with the Turtles: ‘Honor the songs'
SAN DIEGO - Few singers have been as widely heard but remain as little known as Ron Dante, who is now on the "Happy Together Tour" as the lead singer in the Turtles. Fewer still scored their biggest successes - completely uncredited - in the 1960s as the fictional lead singer in the highest-rated Saturday morning cartoon TV series in history, then became the voice of Coca-Cola, Campbell's Soup, Dr Pepper, McDonald's and Budweiser in ubiquitous national TV jingles. That series, "The Archie Show," debuted in 1968 as an adaptation of the popular comic book, "Archie." Both iterations featured the titular teenage character and his pals Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Reggie, who were also the members of the animated band the Archies. The nonexistent group's frothy 1969 song, "Sugar, Sugar," was the biggest-selling single of the year in the U.S., topping the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women," Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary," the Beatles' "Get Back" and a slew of other classics. The song was later recorded by Wilson Pickett, Ike & Tina Turner and Bob Marley, among others. Dante was the lead singer on nearly all the singles and albums released under the Archies' moniker, including "Sugar, Sugar." It also rose to No. 1 in Mexico, Norway, South Africa, Brazil and 10 other countries. "Sugar, "Sugar" did so, even though the Archies only existed in cartoon form and never performed a single concert or even a single song live. "It's very interesting when your song goes No. 1 and they play it on TV on 'The Ed Sullivan Show,' and all they play is the cartoon!" said Dante, who will celebrate his 80th birthday on Aug. 22. He is performing with the current iteration of the Turtles, who headline the annual Happy Together Tour's 2025 edition. The lineup also includes Little Anthony and the current iterations of Jay and the Americans, the Vogues, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap and the Cowsills. "I was a journeyman singer and went where the work was," he explained. "I was fine with the anonymity. When I took on the job with the Archies, it was right up front that I would not be credited or promoted as having anything to do with them. But all in all, it's been great for my life." Was it easy or difficult for Dante to create a musical personality for cartoon characters? "I was well-versed with the Archies because I'd read all the 'Archie' comics and I knew what they were going for with the TV series," he replied, speaking from his Los Angeles home. "The show had two new songs each week and was produced by Don Kirshner, who had achieved great success with 'The Monkees.' He had a great team with (songwriter) Jeff Barry, and I knew what voice to bring to 'Sugar, Sugar,' 'Bang-Shang-A-Lang' and the other Archies' songs." Dante laughed. "I knew we were not Led Zeppelin!" he said. 'We were going for a younger market, a 9- to-13-year-old bubblegum market, of kids who were just discovering pop music. So, I put myself in that mindset and I knew I had to be respectful and sound clean cut." In 1969, the year the Archies peaked, Dante also did all the vocals - again uncredited - on "Tracy," a No. 9 hit that was credited to another nonexistent group, the Cuff Links. To cash in on the song's success and a subsequent album for which Dante recorded all his parts in barely two days, a band called the Cuff Links was hastily assembled and sent out on tour without him. Dante was all of 23 when the Archies hit it big. But he was already a music-biz veteran who had written songs recorded by Jay and the Americans ("Raining In My Sunshine") and Gary Lewis & the Playboys ("Ice Melts in the Sun"). He went on to co-produce all of Barry Manilow's albums between 1973 and 1980, as well as albums by Ray Charles, Cher and others. He also contributed backing vocals to albums by Steely Dan and the hard-rocking power trio Mountain. 'Caravan of Stars' Dante was just 18 when he co-founded a short-lived trio, the Detergents, which made one album. The group's lone hit, "Leader of the Laundromat" - a parody of the Shangri Las' 1964 chart-topper, "Leader of the Pack" - rose no higher than No. 19 on the national Billboard charts. But before they washed out, the Detergents did a national Dick Clark "Caravan of Stars" concert tour. It also featured Little Richard, the Animals and Little Anthony and the Imperials, whose lead singer, Anthony Goudine, is part of this year's Happy Together Tour and, at 84, the oldest artist in the lineup. "Anthony is four years older than me and he still sounds like his 20-year-old self," Dante said. "We played cards together on the 'Caravan' tour bus in 1965. Now, we've come full circle and we're on the bus together again." The Happy Together Tour debuted in 1984 and was named after the Turtles' chart-topping 1967 hit, "Happy Together." The tour ran through 1987 with a rotating cast of artists and the Turtles as the headliners. It resumed in 2010, again with the Turtles topping the bill each year. After he toured as an opening act on the 2017 Happy Together tour, Dante returned the next year to replace the ailing Howard Kaylan as the lead singer in the Turtles. He has retained that role on each subsequent tour, singing alongside Turtles' co-founder Mark Volman, who continued touring after being diagnosed in 2020 with Lewy body dementia. The same disease afflicted comedian Robin Williams before he died by suicide. A number of bands that rose to fame in the 1960s continue to tour. But few of them still have any original members left in their current iterations. "People don't really know who is in the Association or the Grass Roots. They know the songs," said Dante, who performs several Archies' hits during the Turtles' Happy Together Tour sets. "When Mark called me in 2018 and asked me to be the lead singer in the Turtles, he said: 'You have to be true to the music. You're not Howard; we're not going to dress you up in costumes and have you do comedy. So, honor the songs and do them the way we recorded them.'" Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
