BREAKING NEWS! Nelle returns Port Charles, kidnapping Wiley, leaving Willow stunned ABC General Hospital Spoilers

GENERAL HOSPITAL Spoilers: Nell Benson Returns from the Dead — And Kidnaps Her Son! Plus, Carly Spencer Faces Explosive Revelations and Dangerous Deals

Welcome back to the GH Spoilers channel, where today’s update unveils one of the most shocking and suspenseful storylines Port Charles has seen in years. Buckle up — because a long-lost character has clawed her way back from the grave, setting in motion a terrifying chain of events involving abduction, revenge, and shattered family bonds. Nell Benson is alive — and she’s back with a vengeance.

Nell Benson Resurfaces: A Twist Five Years in the Making

Five years ago, Nell Benson — the conniving and dangerous ex of Michael Corinthos — was presumed dead after a final confrontation with Carly Spencer. Her apparent demise occurred after a brutal altercation led to her fall down a ravine. No body was ever found, but the residents of Port Charles moved on, believing Nell had met a fitting end.

But in true GH fashion, that was far from the truth.

Nell survived. Rescued by a kind-hearted stranger who had no idea of her criminal past, she was taken in and nursed back to health. Due to a serious head injury, Nell suffered from total amnesia. The venomous schemer that once haunted Port Charles was now a blank slate — a woman with no memory, no past, and no vendetta.

But memory is a fickle thing. Over the years, flashes of her former life began to resurface. And with those fragments came rage, bitterness, and a burning desire for revenge. Nell remembered Carly. She remembered Michael. Most of all, she remembered Wy — the son she once lost.

And now, she wants him back.

Wy at the Center of a Bitter Custody War

Back in Port Charles, Michael Corinthos and Willow Tate are embroiled in a high-stakes custody battle over young Wy — the child Michael shares with Nell. Despite their strained romantic past, Michael and Willow have formed a united front to protect the boy, especially as his behavioral changes and nightmares suggest something dark may be stirring within him.

They thought Nell was a ghost of the past. They were wrong.

Unknown to them, Nell has returned — very much alive and more dangerous than ever. As her memories have returned, so has her obsession with reclaiming the life she believes was stolen from her. And Wy, in her eyes, is still her son.

The Kidnapping That Changes Everything

Afraid of facing immediate arrest if she were to reappear publicly, Nell plans her move carefully. While Willow and Drew are home with Wy, Drew steps out for a quick errand — and that’s when Nell strikes.

In a scene ripped straight from a nightmare, Nell silently enters the house and confronts Willow. The young mother, caught completely off guard, tries to fight off the intruder, but Nell’s fury and strength overpower her. Willow is knocked unconscious, and Nell seizes the opportunity to take Wy.

By the time Willow regains consciousness, the unimaginable has already happened. Wy is gone.

Her voice shaking with panic, Willow calls the police and delivers the chilling news: Nell Benson is alive — and she has taken Wy.

Then comes the second call — to Michael. The moment he hears the words “Nell” and “Wy” in the same sentence, he freezes. The color drains from his face as the gravity of the situation hits him. His worst nightmare has come true. Nell is back… and she has their son.

Michael’s Race Against Time

No stranger to heartbreak, Michael knows exactly what Nell is capable of. Her manipulations. Her lies. Her utter disregard for human life. He begins a frantic campaign to locate Nell before she can vanish completely with Wy.

But this is no ordinary custody dispute. This is war.

Michael must now contend with not only the loss of his child but the mental anguish of knowing that a woman who once tormented his entire family now has full control over his son’s fate.

Nell, meanwhile, is on the run with Wy — hiding out and determined to mold her son into the image of what she believes he should be. She sees this as her only chance to create the family she was once denied, even if it means evading the law, risking everything, and manipulating Wy’s young mind against those who raised him.

The Corinthos family is thrown into chaos. As the days pass and no leads emerge, emotions run high. Willow is wracked with guilt. Michael is teetering on the edge. Carly is seething — knowing full well the woman who nearly destroyed her family is now back to try again.

And Nell? She’s just getting started.

Carly Spencer Faces Her Own Storm: Three Explosive Challenges Rock Her World

As the Nell drama unfolds, Carly Spencer is thrown into a whirlwind of her own — one involving buried secrets, high-stakes betrayal, and dangerous business alliances.

1. Carly vs. Lulu Spencer: The Secret That Could Shatter Port Charles

Carly’s first major challenge comes in the form of Lulu Spencer, who is hot on the trail of a secret that could explode across multiple families in Port Charles. That secret? The true identity of Giovani “Gio” Palmieri — a young man Carly knows is connected to Brooklyn Quartermaine and Dante Falconeri.

Carly has worked tirelessly to keep the truth about Gio’s adoption hidden. She believes revealing it would unleash emotional devastation — not just for Dante and Brooklyn, but for their extended families as well.

But Lulu won’t back down.

After observing Lois Cerullo’s fierce defense of Gio during a family confrontation and overhearing suspicious comments from Ned Quartermaine about the timeline of Gio’s birth, Lulu is convinced that Gio is, in fact, the secret son of Dante and Brooklyn.

Carly pleads with Lulu to drop the pursuit, warning that the truth could cause irreparable harm. But Lulu, always the investigative journalist, sees it as her duty to bring the truth to light — no matter the cost.

Expect a fiery confrontation between Carly and Lulu during the week of May 12–16, as the truth threatens to erupt in the most public and painful way imaginable.

2. Helping Jason Fight Sonny Corinthos’ Dangerous Deal

Carly’s second storm brews in the murky waters of Port Charles’ criminal underworld. Jason Morgan finds himself in conflict with Sonny Corinthos, who is planning to sell his piers to the shady and unpredictable Jen Sidwell — a deal Jason believes will open their world to corruption and betrayal.

Fearing Sonny is making a grave mistake, Jason turns to Carly for help.

In a late-night strategy session at the Metro Court, Carly and Jason pore over maps and business documents, trying to figure out how to sway Sonny. Carly suggests playing to Sonny’s protective instincts — reminding him that bringing Sidwell into their world could endanger everyone he loves, including his children.

But Sonny is stubborn. And the window to stop this deal is closing fast.

Will Carly’s insight and influence be enough to turn Sonny around? Or is Port Charles on the brink of another mob war?

3. Nah Sit’s Desperate Plea for Silence

Carly’s final challenge comes from an unexpected place — Nah Sit, a once-trusted associate, returns with a desperate plea. He begs Carly to remain silent about a criminal operation he was involved in years ago, one that could now resurface and threaten to expose several high-profile figures in Port Charles — including Carly herself.

Torn between protecting her own interests and doing what’s right, Carly is thrust into a moral and legal dilemma. One wrong move could bring her entire world crashing down.

What’s Next for Port Charles?

With Nell’s return throwing Michael and Willow into emotional disarray, Wy in the hands of a master manipulator, and Carly entangled in multiple ticking time bombs, the residents of Port Charles are headed for explosive reckonings.

Will Nell succeed in escaping with Wy — or will the Corinthos family stop her in time?

Will Lulu expose the secret about Gio, tearing apart Dante and Brooklyn’s world?

And can Carly convince Sonny to walk away from a dangerous deal before it’s too late?

The drama is only heating up. Stay tuned to GH Spoilers for more in-depth breakdowns of every twist, betrayal, and jaw-dropping moment.

Because in Port Charles, no secret stays buried forever.
