General Hospital Preview: ‘Mike’ Catches Nina On a Video Call With Wiley — and Carly’s in the Background — Plus, Chase Gets a Surprise!
Monday, August 2nd, 2021
Several secrets are overheard and potentially witnessed in Port Charles.
In the preview for General Hospital for the week of August 2 – 6, there could be a lot of heartache ahead. Read on for the scoop!
Though it tore her up, Nina left Port Charles and Wiley to return to Nixon Falls to help Lenny and Phyllis deal with his cancer diagnosis. But she also went back for “Mike,” and clearly has feelings for him. As she video chats with Wiley and Willow over the phone for his birthday, Carly lurks in the background and wonders who Wiley is talking to. At the same moment, “Mike” asks Nina to see her phone!
Even though Portia talked to Trina about the fact that she and Curtis were dating, she didn’t open up about their past affair while she was still married to Trina’s father. Trina confided in Joss that she worries something happened between her mother and Curtis that might have led to Curtis and Jordan’s marriage breaking up. She could be in for a shocker when she overhears Stella giving Portia an earful about being the other woman!
Finally, during Wiley’s birthday party, Austin oversaw Chase being able to stand and take a few steps. It appears the good doctor lends his support to the detective. As they head to the gatehouse to surprise Willow, it could be Chase in for a surprise as Willow and Michael give in to their passion for one another!

<p>When Scotty Bentley arrived in Port Charles in 1965, he brought with him a lot of baggage — mostly mom Meg’s. First she lost her fiancé to her stepdaughter, then she married attorney Lee Baldwin, who gave Scotty his surname as an adoption present. Only after the youngster returned from law school in ’77 — with dreamy soap icon-to-be Kin Shriner assuming the role — was he given storylines of his own. Oh, and what storylines they were, too, starting with a romance with impetuous Laura Webber.</p>

<p>Despite the best efforts of smitten hooker-turned-nurse Bobbie Spencer, Scotty put a ring not on her finger but Laura’s. Which honestly didn’t work out so well for anyone concerned. After the bride went to work for Bobbie’s brother Luke at the Campus Disco, she was raped by the boss — then nevertheless fell for her attacker, moved heaven and earth to protect him and… Oh, right — Scotty. She dumped his ass like he’d been a blind date that just hadn’t panned out.</p>

<p>The next time Scotty came home to Port Charles, the chip on his shoulder was as prominent as his new beard. Now a schemer to the marrow, he delighted in contesting his divorce from Laura in order to muck up her new life with Luke, then married Susan Moore for her money while carrying on behind her back with her equally conniving cousin, Heather Webber.</p>

<p>We’d have sworn that Scotty had found his soulmate when he hooked up with fellow plot-hatcher Lucy Coe in the late ’80s — until, that is, he moved on to Dominique Stanton, who touched his heart in a way that no one had since Laura. After Scotty and Dominique married, the bride discovered that she’d be going straight from the wedding to her own funeral, so Lucy stepped in to act as a surrogate mother for the child that the doomed Mrs. Baldwin so wanted to give her beloved.</p>

<p>Despite appearances, Scotty and Dominique’s daughter took more after her angelic mom than her devilish dad. And though the moppet was front and center when Shriner was spun off to <em>Port Charles</em> from 1997-2003, she’s only passed through <em>General Hospital</em> for quick visits. Perhaps wisely. You’ll understand why in a moment. Please stay tuned.</p>

<p>Thrice in his life, Scotty discovered that he had children of whom he hadn’t initially been aware. First, there was ill-fated Karen Wexler, whom Sonny Corinthos turned into a drugged-up stripper as a teenager. Then, there was GI Logan Hayes, who met his maker at the hand of, of all people, Luke and Laura’s daughter, Lulu. And most recently, Scotty found out that Serena had a big brother in Franco only a few years before the reformed killer became the final victim of Peter August’s reign of terror. That just leaves — yikes — Serena. Be careful, kiddo!</p>

<p>On <em>Port Charles</em>, Scotty once again began playing with fire — in other words, Lucy. But, to his chagrin, they weren’t the only characters to cross over to the offshoot. Also along for the ride to the other side of town was Dr. Kevin Collins, whose annoying habit of being morally superior to Scotty made him a formidable romantic rival.</p>

<p>In 1999, Scotty finally made an honest woman of Lucy. Or at least as honest a woman as she was ever going to be. But alas, that wedding band slipped off as easily as it did on. (We did mention that Kevin was always hanging around being all handsome and wise and stuff, didn’t we?)</p>

<p>Even when Scotty was in an off-again phase of his and Lucy’s on-again/off-again relationship, his dance card remained full. His most noteworthy <em>Port Charles</em> romance was with Eve Lambert, who played doctor like she’d been to medical school. Which, um, she had.</p>

<p><em>Port Charles</em> wasn’t just about love affairs for Scotty. There were also family affairs to tend to with dad Lee, stepmom Susan, Serena and Karen.</p>

<p>While representing Luke at his trial for murdering nemesis Stefan Cassadine back on <em>General Hospital</em>, Scotty managed to drive a big enough wedge between Laura and her husband to squeeze on in there and begin seeing her again. But when even his best efforts didn’t inspire the same kind of feelings in her that they did in him, he reunited with a reformed Bobbie, who soon discovered that she wasn’t as attracted to Bad Scotty as she had been to Good Scotty.</p>

<p>In 2013, Scotty finally succeeded in once again making Laura his wife. But it was as plain as the tears glistening in her eyes that Luke was still the man with whom she wanted to be. So rather than saddle the two of them with a marriage in which only one of them was truly invested, Scotty soon set Laura free — and, with her, in a way, himself.</p>

<p>Upon finagling his way back into the D.A.’s office in 2015, Scotty attempted to do Port Charles a solid by getting his bonkers ex Heather thrown back behind bars. Ha, she replied. More or less. Rather than quietly let herself be hauled off, she revealed that years and years ago, she’d spent a drunken night with her sometime lover that had resulted in the birth of Franco — who, as you can see, was as excited to learn the identity of his real mother as Scotty was to find out that he was forever tied to Heather.</p>

<p>In time, Scotty and Franco grew close — so close, as a matter of fact, that when he had his memories replaced by those of pal Drew Cain (don’t ask), Dad stepped in to help daughter-in-law Liz and grandson Cameron regain the fella they so dearly loved. Needless to say, Scotty was also there for his extended family when Franco’s weird, weird life was cut tragically short by Peter’s homicidal tendencies.</p>

<p>In 2021, Scotty was caught as off guard as viewers when he found himself enjoying a one-night stand with kindred spirit Leisl Obrecht. The new lovers were even more surprised to realize that… Oh. They didn’t actually just want <em>one</em> night together. Maybe, we dared to hope, Scotty had finally found in the reformed baddie a lasting love.</p>

<p>Over time, Scotty and Obrecht fell truly, madly, deeply in love. There was just one problem: After rising from the grave, an obsessed Victor Cassadine wanted to resurrect his relationship with Liesl, too. And you know how terrible Cassadines are at taking the hint and moving along!</p>

<p>Scotty shouldn’t have extended his hand so much as he should’ve ducked his head upon meeting Cody Bell. Dominique’s heretofore-unknown son, under the mistaken impression that he’d treated her shoddily, introduced himself with a sucker punch that only later would he realize had been thrown in error. </p>
