General Hospital Hot Plots July 13 to 17: A New Jason Morgan, Competition for Carly, Crisis For Brook Lynn

General Hospital has a big week in store with hot plots galore. From July 13 to 17, 2026, you will see a big return. Last week, Anna came home after months suffering due to Ross Cullum and this week Jason comes home. With both those big returns on the horizon, expect one heck of a week starting Monday.

Jason's Back

Jason (Steve Burton) is not looking good at all when he's released from the WSB black site in Jakarta and sent back to Port Charles on a first-class flight. He has a lot to catch up on, but hopefully his first stop is to see Danny (Asher Antonyzyn). Jason is set to explain his actions and there is nobody who needs an explanation for the last few months more than Danny.

Jason's return will affect multiple people on the canvas, including Carly (Laura Wright), Sonny (Maurice Benard), Birtt (Kelly Thiebaud), and the Quartermaines. Tracy (Jane Elliot) has a lot to deal with when it comes to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), but Jason will be a sight for sore eyes. Jason is said to be coming home a changed man. Did he re-evaluate his many poor choices in life when he had all those months alone to think?

Anna and Valentin Together Again

Will it be like old friends or old lovers when Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) drops by Anna's (Finola Hughes) place to deliver a message from Josslyn (Eden McCoy)? Anna is still frantic to learn anything she can about the time she was kidnapped and Josslyn holds many of the keys to unlocking that time.

When Carly learns that Anna is back, she knows she has some competition for Valentin's affection. Later in the week, Valentin makes his feelings clear, but to which woman?

As for Anna, she goes to another source for answers when she interrogates Britt. Dr. Westbourne knows more about Cassius (Ryan Paevey) than anyone.

Brook Lynn Vs Willow

Brook Lynn has to defend herself while also in disbelief that the only person her husband seems to care about is Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). What about their family? Can Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn each forgive each other?

As for Willow, at leat she has Nina (Cynthia Watros) on her side. Nina and Jack (Chris McKenna) are on a mission as they plot their next move. They are going to find that black box so Drew can finally get out of that wheelchair. Will Elizabeth figure things out before they do?
