Coming This Week - General Hospital: March 30 - April 3

Claudia goes a bit too far!
Claudia hides a drugged and unconscious Ric in her bedroom before Sonny can find him! She panics and calls Johnny for help. Luckily, Maxie is available too, and the two of them rush over to Claudia’s bedroom and manage to get an unconscious Ric out of Claudia’s bedroom and out the door undetected! When Ric wakes up, he is at Mercy hospital. Maxie assures Johnny she can be trusted to keep his secret.

Later at the hospital, Ric vows to make Claudia pay for what she did to him. Ric continues to get under Claudia’s skin with the knowledge of Michael’s shooting – even choking at one point AND despite the fact that it has already earned him a poisoning from Claudia. Ric begins to drop hints around Jason who becomes suspicious. Jason begins his own investigation when him and Sonny ponder if Ian Devlin had a partner in crime when he shot Michael. Jason questions Maxie about Ian Devlin. Ric bribes Claudia, she goes to Johnny and tries to talk him into joining Sonny’s organization as her secret spy. By mid-week, Ric pays the consequences for threatening Claudia in front of him. Jason realizes Ric is blackmailing Claudia and comes up with a plan to save her.

The Younger Set
Maxie and Johnny are caught in a lie by Lulu and Spinelli after attending a club opening. This causes the suspicions to grow even further for Lulu and Spinelli, thinking something is up between the two of them.
Later, Lulu overhears Maxie tell Johnny that no one will ever find out what happened between the two of them! Ethan drops by to return Lulu’s coat and flirts with Maxie, leaving Lulu a bit jealous. Lulu finds money missing from Crimson, and realizes Ethan is the culprit. The two of them continue to bicker and try to one-up one another. When Ethan challenges Lulu to a game of poker to win the money back, Luke is afraid his daughter has gotten in a bit over her head and tries to talk her out of the game.
