ABC's 'General Hospital' is turning the heat up in the kitchen and making matters more intense. Everything that has happened so far has built up to the moment that we will get to see any time now. Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Haper), Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma), Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), and Ava Jerome Cassadine (Maura West) all play a part in this evolving storyline that has created enough tension already. 

The longest-running show has managed to keep its fire alive after all these years. 59 seasons later and 216 episodes into the current season, it feels like the showrunners are finally putting an end to Esme Prince's (Avery Kristen Pohl) storyline. But there are more pressing matters at hand right now as Spencer has taken the fall for Trina while taking the stand. He confesses that the day the video was released, Trina was with her. Let's dive into 'General Hospital' Season 59, Episode 217. Spoilers ahead, of course.

Willow is in big trouble

The first episode of the week will perfectly set up the tone for the entire week. Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) approaches Michael Cassadine (Chad Duell) as he makes a mysterious call, but it is not confirmed whether she becomes privy to some sensitive information or not. However, things are getting serious on the side where Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) lives. TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellows), who had been pushing Willow to get the tests done, finally agreed.

However, things didn't work out the way they hoped. Willow is going through something major - she is suffering from leukemia. TJ asks Willow why she shouldn't seek help from Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). She reveals that she doesn't want to bother Corinthos, but TJ tells her that at this point, she basically needs everyone's help. Moreover, the pregnancy is only going to complicate matters more. 

Previously on 'General Hospital'

Willow and Sasha are in a mix of their own. Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) tells Sasha Gilmore Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) that someone needs to control her and becomes overbearing in the process. Corinthos tells Brick that he thinks Dex should take Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) place. However, Brick finds it weird that Dex and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) are meeting on a staircase because the twist is that Dex works for Michael.
