General Hospital spoilers squeal fans are on edge as a deadly crisis unfolds in Croatia, where Josslyn ‘Joss’ Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Vaughn (Bryce Durfee) are held hostage at the Five Poppies Hotel!
Pascal (Marc Forget), the sinister overseer, threatens to take them out unless they spill why WSB Chief Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) sent them and what he knows about the hotel’s shady operations.
The twist? Joss and Vaughn are clueless, having not reported back to Jack, leaving them with nothing to confess.
Their honesty makes them seem uncooperative — or worse, useless — to Pascal and his mysterious boss, putting their lives on the line.
As Jack realizes Joss is missing and his Port Charles office is compromised, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is likely to reveal that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is already at the Five Poppies, poised to save the day, possibly with Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) help.
Will this rescue expose Jack’s secrets to Carly Spencer (Laura Wright)?
Joss and Vaughn’s Deadly Predicament
Joss and Vaughn find themselves trapped at the Five Poppies, a hub of illicit activity. Pascal’s interrogation is ruthless — he demands details on Jack’s intel about the hotel’s operations, suspecting a deeper breach.
But Joss and Vaughn, telling the truth, know nothing beyond their orders to infiltrate. Their blank answers enraged Pascal, who saw them as defiant or expendable.
While Joss caved and sent Pascal away with the alleged combination to the safe in Jack’s office, Vaughn looked like he would rather have died with dignity than given in to their enemies.
With death looming, their only hope now lies in a rescue, but the clock is ticking. Can they hold out long enough for help to arrive?
Jack’s Empire is Under Siege
Back in Port Charles, Jack’s world is unraveling. He is starting to realize Joss and Vaughn are missing, and he’s probably about to learn his office has been infiltrated, though it’s unclear if he’ll catch Colette Moreau (Mercedes Lopez Renard).
Panicked, Jack may be forced to confront the fallout of sending Joss into danger without her mother, Carly, knowing.
This is the point at which Anna might step in, dropping the bombshell that Jason is already on the ground in Croatia, poised to sniff out the Five Poppies’ secrets.
Britt, stuck at the hotel under Pascal’s thumb, might play a key role, using her relationship with Pascal to dupe him and aid Jason’s rescue. Jack’s secrecy about Joss’s mission could be his undoing when Carly learns the truth.
Just What We’re Looking For
The fans are on board for another rescue adventure with Jason and Britt at the helm. These two need to be shoved together for the common good again with a dose of adrenaline to bring their real feelings to the surface.
Jason, ever the hero, is poised to storm the Five Poppies, leveraging his skills and Britt’s insider knowledge to free Joss and Vaughn before Pascal’s threats turn deadly.
Britt might distract Pascal with false intel, giving Jason the window to strike. But the rescue could blow Jack’s cover back home.
When Carly learns he recruited Joss for a dangerous op without her knowledge, his charming facade will crumble.
Will Joss’ safe return soften Carly’s rage, or will Jack’s deception end their budding romance? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
