Major Developments to expect on General Hospital from December 16 to 20

1) Josslyn's pivotal moment

Josslyn Jacks will be shown to grapple with the news of Dex Heller's death. Her partner, Dex, who was a law enforcer, will be seen struggling for his life after being involved in a stabbing when he was trying to break up a drunken fight on duty. He has recently been shown to be Josslyn's support through her troubles, and his death will cause her significant trauma and grief.

While she struggles to get through this difficult time, the soap opera might show her seeking comfort from Jason. Dex became one of the major characters in General Hospital since his addition in 2022. His loss will cause significant changes in the dynamics of people in Port Charles.


2) Christmas chaos

The Quatermaine family's drama has been a long-standing plotline in General Hospital. Their family dinner party episodes during Christmas and Thanksgiving always cause some tension. This week, before the official holiday, their dinner will show characters like Michael, Willow, Sasha, Carly, Olivia, and Tracy coming together.

Michael and Willow's recent arguments will become more serious as he is shown spending time with Sasha. Carly's well-meaning but nosy involvement in Michael's marriage might cause further damage than we might imagine. Ned and Olivia's relationship will also take a dip due to his involvement with Lois.

Amidst all the relationship drama, Tarcy's unfiltered personality in front of the family will also cause tensions to rise.


3) Holiday confessional

Curtis Ashford's paralysis after his shooting incident was shown to cause him a lot of emotional turmoil. His strained relationship with his daughter Trina and partner Portia added to his struggles.

This coming week on General Hospital, Curtis will make a significant confession that may be related to his shooting. His shaky relationship with his family might be affected in a good or bad way after his confession. Fans have been speculating that this might finally bring some light into his life after the rocky last few months.


Fans can watch the latest episodes of General Hospital on Hulu or ABC Central.
