General Hospital next week preview sees Christmas week filled with plenty of merry drama in Port Charles

Port Charles is gearing up to usher in the festive season on General Hospital, as hinted in the preview. These much-needed happy times come after a series of unfortunate events over the past few weeks. After Kristina and Molly lost baby Adele-Irene, they also lost the court case against Ava.

The residents mourned the loss of a good friend and family member, Sam, leaving her children and Dante devastated. In an unprecedented turn of events, cop Dex was stabbed and later died of a cardiac arrest, leaving Joss heartbroken. Moreover, Willow and Drew's affair was exposed in an embarrassing way, resulting in the breakup of Michael and Willow's marriage.

On the good side, Lulu Spencer woke up from a four-year coma. Trina Robinson joined the school and befriended her classmate Kai Taylor. Meanwhile, Elizabeth's family seemed to come together, with Lucky planning to stay for the time being and Cameron home for vacations.

General Hospital is one of the longest-running American soaps, airing on ABC since April 1963. The show depicts the lives of the residents of Port Charles, a fictional town, featuring plots involving mobsters, law enforcement, and the staff of the titular medical facility.

While Sonny is slated to reconnect with his old friend, Laura, the mayor, Brennan may reach out for help in managing his conflict with the mobster. How far the Sonny-Brennan clash goes remains to be seen.

General Hospital: Michael reaches out to Jason

Last week saw Jason Morgan being a supportive friend to Sasha as she dealt with her inner turmoil. This Christmas week will likely see Michael reaching out to the mob aide. Michael has done this before and will find Jason a patient ear as he vents his inner thoughts. However, whether he would turn to him for advice remains to be seen.

On the other hand, Jason has been taking life's surprises as they come, including helping Joss handle her grief over Dex's death. From moving into the Quartermaine mansion despite Tracy's dislike to punching Drew for sleeping with Willow, Jason has been transparent with his emotions. The Friday after Christmas may find him surprising Anna with an unexpected move.

Others make future plans on General Hospital

Trina Robinson has warmed up to Kai Taylor, who has completed his side of the joint project. The Christmas week will see the duo get together as Kai may assist Trina when she needs help, bringing them closer. Keeping her promise to Laura in mind, Trina may be ready to open her heart to Kai.

On the other hand, Brook Lynn and Chase are yet to come up with a plan for their future. The preview suggests they will put more thought and effort into this.

However, not everybody is likely to have a happy Christmas. Dante Falconeri is expected to receive distressing news, while Alexis is slated for another shocking revelation. Additionally, Cody and Sasha will take time to normalize the feelings between them in the festive cheer.
