General Hospital Tuesday, March 17 Update: Ric’s Evidence, Valentin Questions Carly, Stella Rages at Portia

General Hospital (GH) spoilers update for Tuesday, March 17, indicate that Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) will have proof that he’s a changed man. Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) will also quiz Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) while Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) lashes out at Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), so here’s what viewers can expect.

For starters, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) will have another conversation with Ric about his growing bond with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his decision to tackle his half-brother’s criminal defense cases.

Although Alexis still won’t trust Ric, he’ll argue that he’s changed for the better.

Ric never used to be the kind of person who’d let Alexis get away with tying him up in her basement, so he may use that as evidence that he’s evolving.

Sonny will eventually get some guidance from Carly on Tuesday’s episode, so she might caution him about trusting Ric next.

No matter how everyone else feels about it, Sonny will move forward with making Ric part of his legal team.

That means Sonny will have to explain to an upset Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) that she’s not fired and is only losing his criminal cases.

Back with Carly, she’ll face Valentin’s questions about the rise and fall of her romance with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna).

Valentin may also quiz Carly about their own mutual attraction and whether she wants to continue sizzling in the sheets.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) will join Ric for a meal, so they’ll have a second date and mull over whether they want a full-blown reunion.

It’s obvious that’s what Ric is looking for, but will Liz pump the brakes and deliver bad news?

Other GH spoilers say Brennan will play with fire when he sits down with Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

Once Brennan brings up the Five Poppies Resort chaos and the project that he wasn’t able to unravel, he’ll push for Cullum’s thoughts on the mess.

Brennan will pretend he’s in the dark and hope Cullum has better luck solving the mystery, but Cullum may have a hunch that Brennan is onto him.

At the hospital, Stella will blast Portia and push her to get a grip.

Will Portia change her mind and try to reveal Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) pregnancy to Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) or do something else that warrants Stella’s outburst?

Regardless, Jordan may not be pregnant after all.

It looks like Curtis will ask if Jordan felt a sense of disappointment after she read the pregnancy test results, so those results may be negative.

Jordan might acknowledge that some part of her would’ve liked to raise a baby with Curtis, but it’d be quite a gamble for her health.

Plus, Curtis is already going to have his hands full with Portia’s baby when he or she arrives.

As for Portia, she’ll decide something important on Tuesday’s show.

Portia already hinted about Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) staying at her place sometimes and might extend a real move-in offer soon.

General Hospital spoilers say Curtis will continue to navigate some tricky situations, so stay tuned.
