General Hospital: Anna drags Carly on her quest to find Charlotte
In the episode of General Hospital aired on December 5, 2024, Anna Devane asked Carly Corinthos to help her find Charlotte and Valentin. The scene started in Anna's apartment, where she was working with Damian Spinelli, who used his tech skills to search for any signs of Valentin and Charlotte.
Carly came to Anna's place when she was called, wondering how she could help. Anna quickly explained her plan that she wanted Carly to put a bug on Jack Brennan, an agent at World Security Bureau (WSB).
Carly was hesitant at first. She felt uncomfortable about betraying Brennan, who she considered a friend. But Anna made Carly do it as she pointed out that Brennan worked for the WSB and believed they were involved in Valentin’s disappearance.
"You’re one of the few people Brennan trusts," Anna said.
Carly finally agreed, though she was not happy about it, and decided to prove Anna wrong about her suspicions.
The pressure increased as Carly carried out the mission. She placed the bug in Brennan’s office while pretending she needed a drink of water. Later, at Anna’s apartment, Jason Morgan showed up, expressing worries about Carly’s role in the plan.
Spinelli, who often tried to keep everyone calm, reminded them all that their aim was the same—to bring Charlotte back home. Jason’s concerns grew when Spinelli’s gadgets detected a call from Brennan to Valentin, confirming that Charlotte’s safety depended on keeping Valentin’s location secret.
This storyline of Anna’s use of unusual methods and Carly’s uneasy partnership stemmed from Anna’s own guilt. It was Anna who originally helped Valentin escape with Charlotte, a choice she made out of loyalty and desperation.
Her effort to bring Charlotte back to Lulu later highlighted her regret and determination to fix her mistake. Carly’s participation, though not entirely voluntary, added an emotional layer as both women dealt with trust issues and moral questions.
