General Hospital spoilers for Tuesday, April 6:

In Tuesday’s GH recap, Michael and Sasha breakup, Nikolas and Laura clash over Cyrus, and Brook Lynn falls on her fake belly in front of Valentin.

Ah, nothing says “awkward” like interrupting an intimate moment… which is exactly what Sasha’s about to do. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! She’s not the only one in for a visual surprise, however, because Valentin is going to catch sight of something that’ll catch him off guard.

Nikolas becomes the latest person to clash with Cyrus. (Now what we really need is someone to not only clash with the baddie but figure out how to deal with him once and for all!) Meanwhile, Ava is about to get an ominous package. Could it possibly be creepier than the cockroach she received a few weeks ago?

Alexis finds herself asking some of the very big, very difficult-to-answer questions as she attempts to figure out how, exactly, her life wound up where it did. Look for those around her to do everything they can — whether it’s offering support, showing Alexis a new way to think of things, speaking their truth or even trying to show that there’s always a silver lining.

As Alexis is getting exactly the kind of help she needs (finally), nephew Nikolas is laying all his cards on the table with Cyrus.

You never know who you’ll run into when you swing by General Hospital. But Finn and Chase can’t help wondering what brought Gregory to the institution.

It seems like old times whenever Laura and ex-hubby Scott cross paths, as they do today when she’s on the receiving end of an unexpected visit from her former spouse. Speaking of visits, Carly swings by to see Jason.

Anna and Valentin have struggled mightily with how their past decisions led to the current quagmire involving Peter. When Peter makes them an offer, will guilt drive them to accept?

As we count down to the arrival of Cameron Mathison’s mystery man, we can’t help wondering if perhaps the show is setting up a mini All My Children reunion by bringing back another person from the past… one whom Nikolas probably won’t be thrilled to see!
