General Hospital spoilers for the July 22, 2025 episode

Lucas sounds the alarm on Marco’s disappearance

Lucas becomes more concerned about Marco, who has yet to turn up after not showing at his mother's memorial.

Believing Marco is a victim of foul play, Lucas takes his concerns to the PCPD, where he meets with Harrison Chase and ADA Justine Turner.

Turner emphasizes that the situation should be handled as a possible abduction since Marco's last known contacts and potential affiliations were with Sonny.

Lucas demands explanations, and suspicions are raised regarding Sonny being involved in Marco's vanishing, which has already created tension between him and Sidwell.

Sidwell’s ultimatum and Sonny’s leverage

Sidwell is frustrated by his son's ongoing disappearance and takes drastic measures in retaliation. During Tuesday's episode, he is heard on the phone making a blunt demand, threatening that he wants what is due to him.

Even with this attitude, Sidwell might be giving in to some of Sonny's demands in secret, particularly if it ensures Marco's freedom.

The battle between Sidwell and Sonny is growing more intense, and the audience will witness how both employ power and position to influence the situation, as Marco becomes a pawn between them.

Laura gets disturbing information

Laura finds herself in a difficult position after receiving troubling news, likely tied to her ongoing struggles with Councilman Boyle and the controversial Measure C.

As she meets with Sonny, he encourages her to take action before he is forced to act himself.

Caught between the tension of protecting Port Charles and navigating political alliances, Laura appears shaken.

Her leadership is under pressure from multiple sides, and the line between legal authority and criminal influence continues to blur.

Portia faces pressure, and Isaiah offers support

Portia is in a dangerous bind as she faces blackmail from Drew, who is pressuring her to falsify Michael’s medical records.

With her medical license and family on the line, Portia confides in Isaiah. Isaiah, seeing the strain on his friend, offers encouragement. He says if she is going down, she should go down swinging.

Martin delivers news, and Willow looks ahead to the wedding

Tracy receives unsettling news from Martin, prompting her to snap, “That’s never going to happen!” While the specifics remain unclear, it could relate to the rushed wedding between Drew and Willow or ongoing custody concerns involving Wiley and Amelia.

Meanwhile, Willow is blissfully unaware of the turmoil around her as she looks forward to marrying Drew, telling Elizabeth she cannot wait to become Mrs. Drew Cain.

Elizabeth listens but remains unconvinced, reflecting on how much Drew has changed.
