General Hospital Recap: Jason Leaves Marco Bound and Gagged
General Hospital Recap: Jason Leaves Marco Bound and Gagged originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's General Hospital recap: Lucy offers Sidwell a hug at Natalia's memorial. She says she's there for him as his friend. Lucy goes to bat for Sonny, but Sidwell says anything could have happened. Lucy wonders if Natalia mixed the alcohol and pills by accident but he worries that without a clearcut answer, Marco will always wonder. Lucy says she'll try to get Aurora to pull the story. Alexis offers her condolences to Marco and assures him Sonny didn't kill Natalia. She's thankful he saved Kristina's life and says the article isn't true. Alexis says she knows who Sonny is, and he would never hurt Natalia or her kids. Michael tells Carly and Sonny that Sasha and the baby are leaving town and someone is targeting Daisy. Carly brings up Drew, but Sonny says someone is sending him a message. Carly says Michael has rights and can stop Sasha's move, but Sonny says he doesn't want to. Michael doesn't want bodyguards and says Sasha deserves peace after everything she's been through. He believes it's the right thing to do. Michael says the next fight will be with Willow and he can't lose custody of Wylie and Amelia. Vaughn tells Jack that Anna is on to them but claims she won't find anything concrete. Jack worries his record being too spotless will actually raise flags to someone as shrewd as Anna. Jack says Josslyn and Vaughn have to be a convincing couple. Jack tells them Dalton's phone revealed no communication, which means he's not updating anyone electronically. He says someone is specifically delivering the information from Dalton to his employer and they need to find out who that is. Anna calls someone to do a background check on Vaughn. She tells Felicia she's concerned about Emma and her relationship with the much older man. Felicia reminds Anna there was an age difference between her and Robert.

Lulu says they never got a chance to tell Rocco and how it was a very hard time for her. She doesn't know why Jason would say nice things about Britt, but he says she was different with him. Jason says Britt changed in a way that mattered, and he wants people to know the good and bad. He promises he won't talk to Rocco again, but Lulu worries the damage is already done. Jason tells her to give Rocco time. Alexis talks to Lulu about the Aurora article and doesn't understand why Curtis published it. Alexis wants Lulu's help in finding out who wrote it and Lulu agrees. Isaiah notices Lucas and Willow at odds and says they need to work together. Lucas and Willow go a couple of rounds arguing but eventually agree to leave it away from work. Willow thanks Isaiah for stepping in and says she's angry with Michael for driving her to all of this. Dalton heads to the pool and isn't happy with the service when Rocco and Danny spend more time talking than waiting on him. He gets even more annoyed when Emma's dog steals his chair and tells Gio the boys need to lose their jobs. Emma interrupts to tell him it's her dog and not the boys' fault. She offers to make it up to him by helping him around the campus. After Dalton leaves, the boys tell Emma to steer clear, but she says she wants to get closer to him to find out what he's up to. She says Dalton is experimenting on animals and needs to find something to stop him. Dalton meets with Sidwell who says their mutual friend is unhappy with the progress. He says they want answers for what is taking so long. Lucas gets worried when he doesn't hear from Marco and has Carly let him into his room at the Metro Court, only to find him gone.

Wolves plan permanent memorial to Diogo Jota in tribute to forward following his death in car crash
Wolves have revealed plans to install a permanent memorial in tribute to Diogo Jota following his death aged 28 earlier this month. Jota and his brother Andre Silva, 25, were killed in a car crash in northern Spain on July 3 in an accident that sent millions into mourning. The Portuguese winger, who was part of Liverpool 's Premier League-winning side last season, made 131 appearances for Wolves and scored 44 goals during a three-year spell at the club after initially joining on loan from FC Porto in 2017. He then moved to Anfield in a £41million transfer in the summer of 2020 after impressing as part of the side that secured European football under Nuno Espirito Santo. Now, Wolves have publicly shared plans to honour Diogo and Andre permanently following their passing. A statement on Wolves' club website read: 'Over the past week, the area outside Molineux has become a moving and powerful tribute to Diogo Jota and his younger brother Andre, following their tragic passing. 'The club is truly grateful to everyone who has visited to pay their respects, and to those who have left messages, shirts, scarves and flowers in Diogo's memory. The outpouring of love has been a source of comfort to all who knew him. 'With heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast in the coming days, staff have begun carefully removing and preserving items from the tribute area to protect them from damage. 'Supporters are encouraged to visit on Monday July 14 if they wish to view the tributes before the anticipated weather condition changes. 'All non-perishable items will be carefully stored and will be retained for potential inclusion in a more permanent memorial, which the club is now exploring as a lasting way to honour Diogo and Andre. 'Floral tributes will also be gathered and will be turned into coloured ink, which can then be used as part of a bespoke artwork or tribute. Further details will be shared once plans are confirmed.' After Liverpool paid tribute to Jota in their pre-season friendly against Preston on Sunday, Wolves announced plans to do the same in their last home friendly before the 2025-26 Premier League season gets underway, where they will plan another tribute. The statement added: 'Diogo and André's passing will also be marked at two of Wolves' upcoming home fixtures - the final home friendly against Celta Vigo and opening Premier League match against Manchester City. 'The club is working closely with supporters to ensure both tributes are fitting of Diogo's legacy at Wolves, with the main commemorations planned for the Man City fixture. Full details will be shared with supporters ahead of the games. 'Thank you once again for your compassion, care and respect during this difficult time.' During Liverpool's victory over Preston, striker Darwin Nunez paid tribute to Jota by copying his celebrations after scoring the Reds' second goal in a 3-1 win. After finding the back of the net in the 53rd minute, the Uruguay international wheeled off to the corner flag, sat down, and pretended to play on a video game remote - his old team-mate's signature move. Nunez also performed the shark gesture Jota gave when he scored against Everton at Goodison Park this year.

Whitby Town Council has said it was also not consulted before the wheel was installed, with Whitby mayor, councillor Sandra Turner calling this "a serious oversight"."We have raised this with North Yorkshire Council, they have apologised for the serious oversight and assured us it will not happen again," she added that it had been a "serious hiccup" in the relationship between the local Yorkshire councillor Mark Crane said the wheel had been put up as part of a wider tourism strategy."The location of the wheel in Whitby was chosen to provide stunning views across the harbour and towards the town's famous abbey," he said."Initial feedback from local businesses shows overwhelming support, with traders on West Cliff hopeful the attraction will increase footfall. "Having been in other parts of the county, the wheel has been well received by residents, visitors, and local businesses."He added that the decision to install the wheel was made "in good faith to avoid delays", and that council officers would attend the next town council meeting to acknowledge the importance of local engagement.
