General Hospital recaps for Wednesday, October 15, reveal Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) had a reunion, while Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) was rescued.
Plus, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) hired Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) and Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) made friends with Ronnie Bard (Erika Slezak).
Brennan Accompanied Lulu And Charlotte To Switzerland To Visit Valentin
Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna) accompanied Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) and Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) to Switzerland to see Valentin at Steinmauer. (Make sure to check out our weekly GH spoilers, here!)
Growing frustrated while her mom spoke privately with Valentin first, Charlotte informed Brennan that her father always warned her people would use her to get to him.
But she never imagined the government would be doing the using; then she told Brennan that if Valentin was in Steinmauer, he deserved to be there as well.
Her father never pretended to be innocent, Charlotte added, unlike Jack; in the visiting room, Lulu asked Valentin not to make their daughter feel guilty for building a life in Port Charles.
She was taken aback when Valentin revealed that he’d gotten caught on purpose so Charlotte could be with her mom.

Lulu Continued To Talk To Valentin About Charlotte, Then Allowed Her In
She asked him to be selfless once more and support their daughter’s new life-in exchange, she promised not to get in the middle of their relationship.
Then, she opened the door for Charlotte, and father and daughter shared an emotional hug; while Charlotte visited with Valentin, Lulu blasted Brennan for using her daughter as a bargaining chip.
Although Jack argued that the information he’d get from Valentin during the visit would be used for the greater good, Lulu countered that the WSB put a target on the teen’s back.
They were showing Valentin’s enemies that they could go through Charlotte to get to him. Jack reminded Lulu that he had promised to protect Charlotte, adding that any danger she faced was because she was the daughter of a brilliant, but very dangerous, man.
Valentin And Charlotte Concluded Their Visit, And Valentin Was Interrogated
Back in the visiting room, Valentin lamented that Charlotte was now too grown up to still call him “Papa,” and they cried over how much they missed one another.
Valentin also told Charlotte that he knew Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) had returned to town and warned her that she and Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) could not trust the woman.
Soon after, Jack and Lulu entered the room, with Brennan declaring that the visit was up-after one last hug between father and daughter, Lulu escorted Charlotte back into the hallway.
Brennan signaled to the guard to leave the room as well; once alone with Valentin, Brennan informed his former accomplice since he’d kept up his end of the bargain. It was time for Valentin to reveal all he knew about Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) final project.
Molly Wanted A Favor From Dante
Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) went to see Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) at the PCPD because she was worried something had happened to her father.
She asked him to track her dad’s phone to find out which facility Ric was in. While they waited for the results, Dante asked about Molly’s relationship with her dad, surprised to learn they had grown closer since Ric returned for Irene’s funeral.
When the report came in, it showed Ric had used his phone earlier that day and was still in the state; Molly was relieved at first.
But when Dante revealed the report narrowed Ric’s location to a five-mile area, her relief faded; she grabbed the folder and said, “No, this cannot be right.”
Tracy Hired Marco
Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Marco were having lunch at the Metro Court when Tracy interrupted, asking Marco to represent her.
Lucas joked that Tracy was paying for lunch, ordered the prime rib, and left them to discuss business. Tracy wanted Marco’s help to remove Ronnie, the squatter, from the Quartermaine house.
Marco said he would look into challenging Monica’s will, but warned that evicting Ronnie could take years. He suggested things might move faster if Tracy convinced others that Ronnie was causing problems.
Britt Ran Into Vaughn, And Accused Lucas Of Running Brad Off
At the bar, Britt ran into Vaughn (Bryce Durfee), who suggested they talk things over with a drink instead of taking her to a WSB black site.
When Britt saw Lucas across the room, she joked to Vaughn that he was out of her league, then turned to Lucas as he walked over. ‘So, can we stop pretending I don’t exist, and you talk to me now?’ she asked with a smirk.
Lucas said he wasn’t ignoring her at work, just trying to keep things professional. Britt accused Lucas of doing something to Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) that made her best friend leave town and cut off contact.
Lucas Explains What Happened With Brad
Lucas told her that just when he was thinking about getting back together, Brad lied to him again; Britt accused him of punishing her friend for opening up and telling the truth.
Lucas, clearly annoyed, told her he was actually there to talk to Vaughn, which caught the agent off guard. Lucas then confronted Vaughn about breaking his niece’s heart and warned him not to hurt Josslyn again.
As Lucas left, Britt laughed and said Vaughn could have easily silenced Lucas by revealing Josslyn’s WSB connection, and she threatened to do it herself unless given a reason to keep quiet.
Vaughn reminded Britt she wasn’t in a position to make demands, told her to be careful, and paid for her drink before leaving.
Lucas And Marco Interrupted By Britt
After talking with Britt, Lucas went back to Marco, who joked that they’d be eating leftovers all week because of Tracy’s tab.
Britt came over to introduce herself to Marco as the best friend of Lucas’s ex-husband, and teased that Marco would never meet Lucas’s very high standards.
Britt left when Lucas called her a sociopath- Lucas then told Marco that all he ever wanted from Brad was honesty, but Brad just couldn’t give him that.
Lucas assured Marco that he would never lie to him like Brad did, but the comment made Marco uncomfortable.
Gio Makes Friends With Ronnie
Gio was behind the counter at Bobbie’s when Ronnie walked in; she was pleased to find out he was also new to the Quartermaine family and had once lived at the mansion.
As they chatted about the people at the estate and Ronnie’s first impressions, Gio explained his place in the family.
He shared that at Monica Quartermaine’s memorial, he couldn’t tell if the family welcomed him because they liked him or just because of his last name.
Ronnie understood why Gio had moved out and told him he was welcome back anytime-before she left, Ronnie encouraged Gio to reconnect with his family.
She warned him not to repeat her mistake of losing touch with Monica for years and then running out of time; still, Gio didn’t seem to take her words to heart.

Brook Lynn Plans Tea Party Time
In the Quartermaine kitchen, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) found Brook Lynn Chase (Amanda Setton) unpacking Lila Quartermaine’s (Anna Lee) tea set.
She said that the only way to ensure Ronnie didn’t sell the house or kick them all out was to make Monica’s sister feel like she was part of the family. She wanted to throw a tea party to introduce Ronnie to the community.
If Ronnie made her own connections in Port Charles, Brook Lynn figured, she’d be less vulnerable to Tracy’s digs and think twice about offloading the house.
She planned to have the party at the house and picked a date when she knew Tracy was unavailable to minimize contact between the women.
Ronnie’s” Tea’d Off” At First But Ultimately Accepted
When Ronnie got back to the house, Brook Lynn, with Chase by her side, pitched the idea of throwing a tea party in her honor to introduce her to some Port Charles residents.
When Ronnie turned down the offer, claiming that it was not her style, a disappointed Brook Lynn moaned that she knew Monica would have wanted the family to do for her sister.
Laying on a guilt trip about how much Monica did for the community and that the party was meant to celebrate Ronnie continuing that legacy, Brook Lynn managed to change Ronnie’s mind. “You had to play the sister card, huh?” the newcomer asked, accepting Brook Lynn’s invitation.
Tracy Shows Up And Ronnie’s Ticked Off
Entering the kitchen, Tracy demanded to know what Ronnie was taking from her family now, then declared that she was looking forward to the tea party Brook Lynn was hosting.
When Brook Lynn pointed out that it was on the same day as a fundraiser her grandmother was scheduled to attend in New York City, Tracy gleefully said she’d send a donation.
With a fake smile plastered across her face, Tracy announced, “There’s no place I’d rather be than right here, welcoming Ronnie to Port Charles,” as she and Ronnie stared each other down.
It was obvious that Ronnie saw through Tracy’s playing nice fakery and didn’t believe a word. Tracy had a hard time maintaining a believable smile through all her glowering.

Cody’s Riding To The Rescue
Down in Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) basement, Ric was tied up and gagged, but felt a wave of relief when Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) appeared, coming in through the outside cellar door.
At first, Cody joked that Ric must have forgotten his safe word during some wild game with Alexis, but quickly got serious and unlocked the handcuffs when they heard someone upstairs.
After freeing Ric, Cody saw he was weak and suggested taking him to the hospital, but Ric insisted he had other plans.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Alexis and Ava Jerome (Maura West) both anxiously checked Ric’s bank account, but they were unable to access the funds.
After sharing a laugh at how far they’d come as frenemies over the last month, thanks to being co-conspirators in Ric’s abduction, Ava complimented Alexis on being a good mother.
Ric’s Captors Get A Shock Treatment
She was touched when Alexis confided that they had that in common. Just as Alexis and Ava were about to go downstairs to check on their “houseguest,” Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) entered, wondering if Cody was there since his truck was parked outside.
Alexis figured Cody had met up with Molly to go for a walk, but Kristina thought her sister was at work.
While Alexis phoned her younger daughter to see if she was with Cody, Ava and Kristina headed to the basement to check on Ric and were shocked to see him missing.
Alexis was leaving a message on Molly’s voicemail when Ric and Cody came busting through the front door!

Bad Timing For Ric’s Captors
Kristina and Ava rushed back upstairs to tell Alexis that Ric was gone, only to find him and Cody in the living room! When a confused Cody demanded to know what was going on, Ric spat, “Would you three lunatics like to tell this good man how you kidnapped and drugged me, or shall I?”
In a rapid-fire exchange of confessions, the women told Cody they only kidnapped Ric because he had blackmailed Alexis and taken money from Ava.
Ric fired back, accusing Ava of stealing money from a child, and blaming Kristina for his car accident, saying she was actually trying to hurt Ava but almost killed him instead.
The women then asked Cody for one more hour so they could return the money Ric took to Ace Cassadine’s (Joey and Jay Clay) trust fund account.
Cody The Former Con Man Can’t Believe His Ears
Then, everyone tried to bribe Cody, himself a former con man, and pay him off for his silence on the crazy crime.
Ava even offered to pay Cody for his help, while Ric tried to tempt him with a finder’s fee if he took Ric’s side. Cody shook his head, saying, ‘You’re all nuts. I have no idea how any of you are related to Molly.’
As he opened the front door to leave, Molly appeared in the doorway, and everyone exchanged worried glances. What are they going to say, and will Cody keep the secret, or bust them all to Molly?
