Meanwhile, sparks fly between Kai and Trina, leading to a major turning point in their relationship. Here's everything to expect day by day in Port Charles.

The episode hints at a critical decision Gio must make soon — one that could put him on a very different path. Friday, May 30: As the week ends, the pressure builds.

Here's Everything We Know About General Hospital's 2025 Nurses Ball
The Nurses Ball is back on General Hospital! Here's what we know about GH's biggest event of the year. Hosted by Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), the Nurses Ball will begin on May 20, 2025. The ball usually spans about a week for viewers, but is only one day of drama for the people of Port Charles. Since its start in 1994, the GH Nurses Ball raised money for HIV and AIDS after Robin (Kimberly McCullough) was diagnosed with HIV and Stone (Michael Sutton) died from the disease. The Nurses Ball has never switched things up, but could this be the year they do? With GH's official invite stating 'a charitable event' and Lucy realizing thanks to the ball's generous backer Sidwell (Carlo Rota) that HIV and AIDS doesn't need research funding anymore, could this be the year the ball changes charities? Lucy has set out for a long list of performers this year, starting with Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). Trina's portrayer recently teased that she was recording a song at work, so it seems her performance is locked in. Meanwhile, Lucy promised Lucas (Van Hansis) he wouldn't have to perform, but only she knew she has her fingers crossed behind her back. Is GH gearing up to resurrect Magic Milo with Lucas? He could easily be joined on stage by the likes of his new beau Marco (Adrian Anchondo). Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is also scheduled to perform a violin solo at the ball, and is being managed by Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), who he has no idea is his biological mother. Will that secret come out before or after he hits the stage? Port Charles is full of talent on and off screen, and one person who hasn't performed at a Nurses Ball in decades is Jonathan Jackson's Lucky. Longtime viewers may remember his performances with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Luke (Anthony Geary), but now may be the time for the real-life musician to give Lucky a solo. Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) has been on tour for months, but now that her half-brother has moved to Port Charles, she could make a surprise appearance at her old stomping grounds. It would certainly come as a shock to Kristina (Kate Mansi) to see her ex-girlfriend at the ball, especially after everything Kristina has been through since their end-of-summer breakup. What do you hope to see happen at this year's Nurses Ball? Let us know in the comments.

US Finalizes Tariffs on Southeast Asian Solar Imports
Reuters Workers walk between solar cell panels over the water surface of Sirindhorn Dam in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand April 8, 2021. Adds quote from U.S. manufacturing group attorney, tariff levels for Jinko, Trina and Cambodia, position of top U.S. solar trade group, effort to reach Jinko, Trina and solar group April 21 (Reuters) – U.S. trade officials finalized steep tariff levels on most solar cells from Southeast Asia, a key step toward wrapping up a year-old trade case in which American manufacturers accused Chinese companies of flooding the market with unfairly cheap goods. The case was brought last year by Korea's Hanwha Qcells Arizona-based First Solar Inc FSLR.O and several smaller producers seeking to protect billions of dollars in investments in U.S. solar manufacturing. The petitioner group, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, accused big Chinese solar panel makers with factories in Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam of shipping panels priced below their cost of production and of receiving unfair subsidies that make American goods uncompetitive. The tariffs unveiled on Monday vary widely depending on the company and country, but were broadly higher than the preliminary duties announced late last year. Combined dumping and countervailing duties on Jinko Solar products from Malaysia were among the lowest at 41.56%. Rival Trina Solar's products from its operations in Thailand face tariffs of 375.19%. Neither Jinko nor Trina were immediately available for comment. Products from Cambodia would face duties of more than 3,500% because its producers elected not to cooperate with the U.S. probe. 'These are very strong results,' Tim Brightbill, an attorney for the U.S. manufacturing group, said on a call with reporters. 'We are confident that they will address the unfair trade practices of the Chinese-owned companies in these four countries, which have been injuring the U.S. solar manufacturing industry for far too long.' The threat of tariffs on countries that supplied more than $10 billion of solar products to the United States last year, accounting for the vast majority of domestic supplies, has caused a dramatic shift in the global solar trade. Imports from the four targeted countries this year are a fraction of what they were a year ago, while shipments of panels from nations like Laos and Indonesia are on the rise. Critics of the effort, including the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) trade group, have said tariffs would harm U.S. solar producers because they would raise prices on the imported cells that are assembled into panels by American factories. Those facilities have been on the rise since a new subsidy for clean energy manufacturing was created in 2022. SEIA officials were not immediately available for comment. In order for the tariffs to be finalized, the International Trade Commission must vote in June on whether the industry was materially harmed by the dumped and subsidized imports.

Drinking, dancing, and home before dark

Man who received chance for parole in 2009, in child homicide case, is rearrested in RI
A 40-year-old man who settled in Rhode Island, after spending more than two decades in jail and prison for the murder of a 10-year-old girl in Massachusetts, has returned to a cellblock. On Monday, Pawtucket police detectives arrested Joseph Cousin after a raid led to the seizure of two handguns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition as well as fentanyl and cocaine, according to Pawtucket police Detective Sgt. Dave Medeiros. Then, on Tuesday morning, in District Court, Providence, Judge Debra Saunders ordered Cousin held without bail. Cousin was an 18-year-old gang member in September 2002 when he was charged in the homicide of 10-year-old Trina Persad in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood. Persad had been fatally shot in a park named after Jermaine Goffigan ‒ a 9-year-old boy who was fatally shot in the same park in 1994. Trina was hit with the blast of a sawed-off shotgun as she left the park with her aunt and two siblings at about 7:45 p.m. on June 29, 2002. Prosecutors would describe the shooting as part of feud between a gang known as M.I.C. and its rival Big Head Boyz, according to a Boston Globe report. Cousin was accused of pointing a sawed-off shotgun from the back seat of a gray Honda Civic but missing the rival Big Head Boyz members he was aiming for and hitting Trina. The jury at Cousin's first trial in 2004 acquitted the person accused of driving the getaway car, according to media reports. That was Marquis Nelson who was involved in another homicide in North Carolina in 2007. After Marquis' acquittal, the first case against Cousin led to a mistrial after it became clear that five jurors had lied about their criminal history. Cousin was convicted of second-degree murder and two other related charges at his second trial in 2009. He was sentenced to life but with potential for parole and with credit for previous time served. Various Boston media outlets reported that he would not be eligible for parole for 19 years, which meant not until 2028. Pawtucket police say Cousin left prison about two years ago after serving a term of about 21 years. That span of time would seem to account for his time in jail prior to his 2009 sentencing and after that until about two years ago. Cousin's arrest stemmed from an investigation into the distribution of cocaine and fentanyl in Pawtucket as well as neighboring communities, police said. The work led to the raid of a home on North Bend Street on Monday and Cousin's arrest. Cousin now faces charges of manufacturing, delivery and possession of fentanyl and manufacturing, delivery and possession of cocaine. He is also charged with a slate of weapons charges including: ∎ Two counts of possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance ∎ Possessing a firearm as a felon ∎ Maintaining a common nuisance ∎ Possession of a high capacity magazine ∎ Modification of a semi-automatic weapon into an automatic weapon ∎ Alteration of firearm identification marks; and, ∎ Two counts of carrying a pistol without a permit.
