ABC's General Hospital first aired on April 1, 1963, created by Doris and Frank Hursely. Since then, the show has been a fan favorite for decades and has won numerous Daytime Emmy Awards, including the Outstanding Drama Series. The show revolves around the lives of the Corinthos, Quartermaine, Cassadine, and Spencer families, settled in the fictional town city of Port Charles, New York.

The latest episode of General Hospital aired on January 13, 2025, shedding light on a few ongoing storylines. In this episode, Michael Corinthos suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. He had been struggling physically as he had third-degree burns in over 40 percent of his body. This happened after he was caught up in the fire explosion at the Corinthos penthouse.


Everything that happened on the January 13, 2025, episode of General Hospital

The episode showed Michael's health monitors suddenly beeping, indicating his cardiac arrest. Nurses called the doctors, Isaiah and Lucas, who came in only to discover Michael's heart rate decreasing drastically. Doctor Isaiah saved Michael's life by administering an unorthodox medication used for overdoses of digitalis.

He knew that Michael's life could be potentially saved and despite Lucas being unsure, he administered the situation. Isaiah waited to see how Michael responded to the medication and whether it saved him from succumbing to the cardiac arrest. Later in the episode, Lucas and the nurses were skeptical of what caused Michael's cardiac arrest and sent all his intravenous bags to the lab to get them checked.

The spoilers for upcoming episodes of General Hospital revealed that it was Cyrus Renault who had sneaked into Michael's hospital room in disguise wearing scrubs and injected digitalis into his IV. The January 13 episode depicted Portia trying to find out the list of every patient who had recently suffered a cardiac arrest in the hospital due to an overdose of digitalis. She took help from Brad to acquire the same list.

After saving Michael's life, Isaiah conversed with Portia regarding the overdose and wanted to report the case to the police. Meanwhile, Willow Tait and Drew Quartermaine used Michael's condition as an excuse to take custody of Michael's children. Carly Spencer pleaded with Willow and asked her not to use Michael's condition for their benefit. Carly did this as an attempt to keep Willow and Sonny away from the kids.

Nina Reeves, on the other hand, tried to make up for Willow's actions and do damage control. She conversed with Sonny Corinthos and asked him to not worry about the custody battle and instead focus on Michael's recovery and well-being first.
