General Hospital Spoilers Friday, April 17: Willow Strikes Back, Nina Caught Off Guard & Ethan’s Surprise Stuns Lulu

General Hospital (GH) spoilers for Friday, April 17, reveal that Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) will deliver a serious warning while Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) catches Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) off guard.

Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) will also get a shock when Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean) returns to Port Charles, so let’s talk about what’s in store.

For starters, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) will pay a visit to Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), but that’ll lead to some tension.

Carly will end up urging Lucas to “just drop it” during their conversation, so they’ll obviously get into a sensitive topic.

Next, Lulu will be taken aback over Ethan’s Port Charles comeback.

After realizing Ethan is in town again, Lulu will ask who he’s running from this time and assume her half-brother’s return is about more than just catching up with familiar faces.

When Nina heads home for the evening, she’ll find someone surprising waiting for her.

Once Nina sees Valentin, she’ll demand to know “what the hell” her ex is doing in her living room.

Valentin may admit Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) gave him the news about Nina being a traitor and offer Nina a chance to share her side of the story.

Nina might admit Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) has backed her into a terrible corner, but Valentin will make a pitch and perhaps suggest they can neutralize him if they team up.

At Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) place, Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) will contend that he’s the reason Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed her for murder.

Laura may not see it that way and will stick to her belief that maybe they can go up against Sidwell together.

Next, Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) will drop a hint that leaves Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) stunned.

“Are you saying you have proof that Willow shot Drew?” Kristina asks Michael in Friday’s GH preview video.

Michael may not have hard evidence of what Willow did, but he may spell out his reasons for thinking Willow must’ve pulled the trigger on Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) that night.

As for Willow, she’ll corner Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) at Crimson and deliver a fierce threat.

After Willow warns Jacinda to stay away from her children from now on, she may promise Jacinda won’t like the consequences if she doesn’t listen.

General Hospital spoilers say Willow will slam Jacinda over her past and argue that she’s a bad influence on the kids, so stay tuned for Jacinda’s response.
