General Hospital Recap: Laura Advises Lulu to Tread Carefully With Rocco
On today's General Hospital recap:
Willow thanks Liz for putting her up for the night and admits going to Carly's last night was a mistake. Willow says she misses her kids and doesn't understand why Nina did what she did. Willow can't believe how much she let Drew take control and says it's like her days in the cult.
Nina drops off clothes and toiletries for Willow, who is still angry with her. Willow says she's done with Nina and Drew and doesn't want anything from either of them. Willow blames Nina for losing her kids, as much as Drew and kicks Nina out.
Nina meets with Ric and asks him to stay on as Willow's attorney and help her fight for custody. Ric agrees and Nina asks him to keep it from Willow because she's bankrolling him.
Ric meets with Willow to let her know he'll work on her case. He says she won't get custody right now, but by the visitation hearing things could improve. He says it's good the hearing isn't until October because it gives them time to build a case.
Rocco tells Laura he contacted Liesl and they met and talked. He says his parents freaked out when they saw him talking to her. He doesn't understand his parents' concerns and wants to meet with Liesl again.
Laura says Britt stole the embryo which is a crime even if it ended up with Rocco in their lives. She says Liesl has done questionable things, and Rocco says he saw it online, but Leisl wasn't like that in person. Laura tells him to talk to his parents, but he says they don't understand him.
Maxie chastises Brook Lynn again about the file Rocco saw. Maxie tells her Rocco summoned Liesl, who's back in town. Lulu interrupts to tell Brook Lynn that Rocco went to Liesl for answers and accuses her of bringing criminals into her son's life.
The two argue until Maxie interrupts and explains Rocco is Liesl's last connection to Britt. Lulu disagrees, saying Britt stole his first few months from them. Laura calls and summons her.
Laura tells Lulu about her visit with Rocco and says she is making a mistake by stopping him from seeing Liesl. Lulu isn't happy but Laura says Rocco is curious and the more she forces the issue, the more her son will shut her out. She thinks if Lulu supports him, they could develop a stronger relationship.
Rocco runs into Brook Lynn and thanks her because now he knows he had another mother.
Isaiah is happy to find Portia still at the hospital, but she says the board will still want her resignation. He says he agreed to the position at the hospital in part due to her leadership.
Curtis tells Trina what happened at the wedding. Both of them feel badly for Willow and Nina. He says maybe Kai has smartened up and has regrets, but Trina says they're still broken up. Curtis tries to talk up Kai, but Trina says he broke her trust. He tells her to keep an open mind and give Kai a second chance.
Josslyn thinks Kai can finally see Drew for the man he really is and patch things up with Trina. Kai says he stood by his values, but Josslyn says he betrayed Trina and her family.
Previous General Hospital (GH) Recap: Tracy and Cody Delight in Drew's Pain
Kai tries to get into Trina's good graces, but she says she can't get past him betraying her parents.
Drew meets with Michael and tells him everything with Willow and the kids is over. He says Michael got what he wanted and asks him for grace for Willow. Michael says the judge made her decision, but Drew tells him to stop keeping the kids from their mother.
Michael tells him how hysterical Willow was when he showed up at Carly's. He says she's not the Willow he knew and refuses to listen to anything Drew has to say. Drew swears he never meant to hurt anyone but MIchael realizes he's the reason Willow didn't see him in Germany. Drew turns it back on Michael, telling him to do right by his kids.
Willow apologizes to Michael for her behavior last night, but her mind is clear. She swears she and Drew are over and asks to see the kids.
Maxie talks to Nina and says she should have come clean to Willow a year ago when she asked her to. She wonders why Nina decided to spill the beans now. Nina says she didn't want Willow tied to Drew forever and believes she did something bad.
Portia tells Curtis she can't live her life with Drew's threat over her head and will submit her resignation today. Curtis thinks Drew will move to DC and their problems will be solved. He says so long as Drew doesn't find out he's the one who told Willow, they're all good.
Drew heads to Liz' to see Willow but she tells him to give her some space. She accidentally lets it spill Curtis was the one who told Willow the truth.

What to Watch This Weekend (Aug. 2-3): 9 Best New Movies and Shows to Stream Now (Including a Major Reboot of a Beloved '80s Comedy!)
Here's where to watch the top nine best movies and shows the weekend of Aug. 2-3 The first weekend of the month can often be slow in theaters and streaming but August is already off to the races as we grasp onto the final few weeks of summer! This weekend, Aug. 2-3, the summer of reboots continues with the revival of an '80s comedy classic in theaters. Over on streaming, true crime is ramping up once again with a new iteration of Netflix's Conversations with a Killer series. Not ready to sidle up to a spooky documentary just yet? All good, we have some lighter options with the return of everyone's favorite fashion competition and a new comedy series from Leanne Morgan. And there's more! Here's a list of the nine best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them. The Naked Gun Liam Neeson may be known for his ultra serious action roles, but he's getting silly (and scantily clad) in The Naked Gun. A reboot of the 1988 classic of the same name, Neeson's character, Frank, is following in the footsteps of his goofy police officer father — and taking on the law in his own unique way (which includes whipping out his gun to skip the bathroom line). The Naked Gun releases in theaters on August 1. Project Runway season 21 Make it work! So goes the iconic catchphrase of OG Project Runway mentor Tim Gunn, and the show is certainly taking the slogan to heart as it revs back up after a two-year hiatus with a new judge panel, host and streaming platform. Back at the helm is Heidi Klum, though Gunn won't be joining her after 16 seasons together. Also returning are designer (and winner!) Christian Siriano as host and Elle editor-in-chief Nina Garcia as judge. Celebrity stylist Law Roach is also joining the judging panel, where he is not holding back on his takes. Watch the first two episodes of Project Runway season 21 on Hulu and Disney+, with episodes releasing weekly at 9 p.m. ET on Thursdays on Freeform. My Oxford Year Starring two of Netflix's darlings — The Life List's Sofia Carson and Queen Charlotte's Corey Mylchreest — My Oxford Year brings Anna de la Vega and Jamie Davenport's love story from the 2018 book of the same name to life. Anna is an ambitious American who has dreamed of studying abroad at the University of Oxford for a year. What she doesn't expect is to fall for her hot, brooding professor — who is naturally emotionally unavailable, as hot brooding professors are. Watch My Oxford Year on Netflix. Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes Netflix hones in on a new serial killer in a continuation of its Conversations with a Killer series: the Son of Sam, David Berkowitz. Between the summers of 1976 and 1977 in New York City, the now-incarcerated serial killer targeted women with short brown hair who were often sitting in cars with their partners in "lovers lane." He left cryptic letters for the police, signing off as the "Son of Sam," until he was eventually caught after illegally parking at the scene of one of his crimes. Watch Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes on Netflix. The Yogurt Shop Murders Four girls walked into a yogurt shop in Austin in 1991, but none walked out. Authorities found their bodies after the I Can't Believe It's Yogurt! storefront was set on fire, and to this day, no perpetrator has been caught. An HBO docuseries, The Yogurt Shop Murders, looks back at the chilling tale and the cold case, featuring interviews with the victims' families and investigators. Watch The Yogurt Shop Murders on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max. Leanne Morgan may have only launched her comedy career in her 50s, but she's already off to the races with a self-titled sitcom on Netflix, Leanne. After her husband leaves her for another woman, Leanne's life is turned upside down. But thankfully, she has her extroverted sister to help push her in the dating world. Watch Leanne on Netflix. Perfect Match season 3 If you don't have reality dating show fatigue yet (though surely this may push you over), then we have another one queued up for you: Perfect Match is back. Season 3 marks a new chapter for the Netflix show: while previously the series focused on pairing reality stars from the streamer's own dating universe, this time around it's broadening the pool to include Bachelor Nation, Love Island and other fan-favorite show alums. Watch the first six episodes of Perfect Match season 3 on Netflix. Chief of War Jason Momoa has passion projects just like us. His just happens to be producing and telling the story of the unification and colonization of Hawaii in the late 18th century in an Apple TV+ show. Momoa, who is of Hawaiian heritage himself, stars as a chief on a mission to unify his people as colonizers arrive to annex their land. He is joined by a predominantly Polynesian cast. Watch Chief of War on AppleTV+. Twisted Metal season 2 This plot is so twisted (pun intended) it's hard to keep up but if video game adaptations are your cup of tea, then the second season of Twisted Metal will be right up your alley. Following the revelations in the season 1 finale, John (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) find themselves enrolling in a strange man's Twisted Metal tournament, which is essentially a demolition derby. Watch season 2 of Twisted Metal on Peacock. Read the original article on People

Nancy Meyers Reacts to Reports of 'The Holiday 'Limited Series at Apple TV+: 'News to Me'
The 2006 film's director weighed in on the news of the adaptation, which neither she, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law nor Jack Black are involved inNEED TO KNOW Reports circulated on Aug. 1 that the beloved 2006 Nancy Meyers movie The Holiday is being adapted into a limited series for Apple TV+ Per the report, the series will bring in all-new faces and not see Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law or Jack Black return. Meyers herself was also reportedly not involved in the project The director spoke out about the report in a post on Instagram, as she said it was "news" to her and she'd learned of the adaptation via social mediaNancy Meyers doesn't seem to be in the loop on matters relating to one of her most beloved films. On Friday, Aug. 1, reports circulated that The Holiday, which starred Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black, is being revisited, this time as a limited series. Per Deadline, Apple TV+ will adapt the film's same concept — an ambitious American woman (Diaz) house swaps with a heartbroken British woman (Winslet) and both of them fall in love in the most unexpected way — with new characters and stars. Rob Delaney is on board the project as writer, and Sweetpea's Krissie Ducker will executive produce, the outlet reported. Apple TV+ did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment about the report. The news came as a shock to Meyers, who spoke out about the report in a post on her Instagram Stories. "News to me," Meyers wrote over a screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter article about the limited series adaptation. "Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw." This is not the first time that Meyers has weighed in on reports of the beloved 2006 film being revisited. In 2022, the director shut down sequel rumors swiftly on Instagram, as she wrote in a comment on a post reporting that a sequel was getting made with the original main cast all returning: "So many DM's about this — sorry but it's not true. ❤️." Shortly afterwards, Winslet herself weighed in on the speculation. "I read something about that, but it's the first I've heard of it," she told PEOPLE. "I promise you, not an agent or a representative or anyone from the first one around has had any conversation with me about that. Hand on heart, that's never come up." The original cast will not reprise their roles in the limited series, per the report, despite several stars having expressed interest in returning to the world. Law, who played the brother of Winslet's Iris and love interest of Diaz's Amanda, has been particularly vocal about his desire to revisit the magic of The Holiday. Last year, Law, 52, said, "Why not?" when asked about the possibility of a sequel. "I love the idea," he told E! News. He even offered up some ideas on where he thinks his character would be today. "I think Graham still has cardigans and glasses, and reads," he said. "He's probably worried sick about the girls, right? [His] daughters will be 28, 29." Law admitted, though, that he'd "have to ask" Meyers to get the real answer on a sequel. Despite not having any plans to revisit the world, Meyers has been known to tease fans of the movie. She and Law reunited for lunch in December, and she posted a video on Instagram from the reunion."Look who I'm having lunch with today. Jude Law! Congratulations on your so well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That's amazing," she told the actor in the video. "I don't think I've seen you since we wrapped The Holiday," Meyers admitted, before she brought up the sequel rumors. "Speaking of which, I've seen you interviewed a lot, and they keep asking you if there's going to be a sequel. What do you think?" In response, Law made a hilariously adorable reference to his Mr. Napkin Head character from the film. It was obvious that his bit delighted Meyers, but it didn't offer fans any real answer to the question of a sequel. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The Holiday can be streamed on Netflix.

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Is Bringing Back Hulk and Scorpion
Spider-Man: Brand New Day isn't an Avengers movie, but it's starting to look like one. We know Tom Holland is returning as the titulal webslinger and that Jon Bernthal is reprising his role as the Punisher. But now, it seems that Mark Ruffalo is also returning as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, and even Michael Mando, who played one of the villains in Holland's first Spidey film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, will return as Scorpion. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of the new cast additions. And, since none of these are clearly a villain worthy of such a team-up, you have to think there are more on the way soon. The news is a nice way to end this brand-new Spider-Man day, which began with a tease of Spidey's new suit. This story is developing… Want more io9 news?
