Wednesday, January 25, 2023: Today on General Hospital, Carly gives Joss advice about Dex, Olivia gives Drew her thoughts on what Carly did, and Trina offers to attend Britt's memorial with Spencer.

Spencer and Trina run into Laura leaving Kelly’s. Laura tells them that Cam could use some friends tonight. Spencer promises to check in on him. Laura heads off, and Trina asks Spencer what’s happened with Cam. Spencer tells her, “Joss stabbed him in the back.”
Trina and Spencer head in to see Cam, and Trina asks Cam what is going on between him and Joss. They grab a table and Cam fills Trina in on the breakup. Trina thinks he and Joss could work things out, but Cam says they are over and storms off.
Changing the subject, Trina asks Spencer if anyone is going to be there for him tomorrow at Britt’s service. He still can’t believe she’s gone and isn’t ready to say goodbye. Trina offers to go with him, and he accepts. Trina also says with the killer still out there, they should keep on pretending to be a couple to lure the killer out. Spencer smiles and says he’s okay with that. She warns him that her mom doesn’t like that she’s let him back into her life. Spencer notes her family just cares about her, just like a lot of people do.
Trina asks if Spencer’s spoken to his father lately. Spencer says he hasn’t, and he wants nothing to do with him. Trina understands but asks if he’ll let his feelings for his father prevent him from having a relationship with his new sibling. Spencer opens up to her about possibly raising this child himself.

Carly arrives at Joss’ dorm after getting her message. Joss cries to her mom that she screwed up. She fills her in on Cam catching Dex in the room with her right after they had been together, and Cam believes she’s a liar and a cheater and broke up with him for Dex. She wishes she had broken up with him weeks ago, but she didn’t want to hurt him. Now she cries she’s hurt him even more. To make matters worse, she tells her mother she had to ask Cam not to say anything as Sonny ordered Dex to stay away from her.
Carly recounts meeting Jason when she was Joss’ age, and he liked danger, and she liked how he made her feel. She asks if that’s how Dex makes her feel. Joss cries it is. Carly warns her she’s going down a dangerous road, and she must be sure this is what she wants. Joss likes Dex and doesn’t want to stop what is developing between them.
Carly asks Joss to always come to her with any problems she has, and not to lie to her. Their conversation turns to Drew, and Carly explains they hit a bump in the road because of the secret she kept about Nina. Joss understands why she kept the secret, to protect people from unnecessary hurt. Carly points out Willow and Cam still got hurt by their secrets. Joss thinks that’s why it’s better for one to tell the truth, it’s less painful than defending a lie. Carly calls her daughter very wise, and they embrace.
At the Quartermaine gatehouse, Drew arm wrestles with Wiley and lets him win. Olivia drops by to invite Wiley to a slumber party at the main house. The boy runs off to pick out his pajamas. Olivia tells Drew she felt he could use a break. The topic of Nina being Willow’s mother comes up and Drew vents that Willow could have had her bone marrow transplant long before it got to this point. Olivia wonders what he’s not telling her, and why does she think it has to do with Carly. Drew fills her in on Carly knowing Nina was Willow’s mother and keeping it a secret. Olivia asks if his relationship with Carly can survive this.
Drew admits he is angry that she lied to him and he doesn’t see what future they have moving forward. Olivia tells Drew she knows Carly and she had to have hated lying to him, but Drew notes she felt she did the right thing. Olivia says Carly will protect those she loves at all costs. Drew tells her the bottom line is they can’t be in a relationship where lying is okay. Olivia says he must decide what kind of relationship he wants, and he’ll have to do it on his own.
Later after Olivia leaves with Wiley, Carly knocks on the door, and Drew answers.
