'General Hospital' Previews: December 17 Edition

Next week on “General Hospital,” Maxie begins to have second thoughts about the surrogacy, Johnny considers telling the truth and the battle for Michael continues between Sonny and AJ.

She’s having a baby (maybe)

Maxie tries to wrap her mind around what’s happening as she visits the embryos in the lab. She tells Spinelli that she thinks she might have only agreed to be the surrogate because she felt so empty after he rejected her. Maxie asks him if they would be together if Ellie wasn’t in the picture. Later, Maxie is surprised when Alexis gives her a legal agreement that Dante and Lulu signed off on, outlining everyone’s responsibilities and obligations for the potential baby. Ellie sees Maxie and Spinelli in a seemingly intimate situation and storms off.

These are my confessions

Johnny tells Diane that he wants to confess to killing Cole and Hope. Connie warns Todd that they’ll both be implicated if Johnny tells the truth. Johnny makes plans with Starr and Carly to tell each of them the truth, but will he go through with it? Todd and Connie each fear for their individual futures if he does and Starr notices that her father is up to his old tricks. Connie prepares to get rid of Johnny and sends Todd an ominous message, but Connie remains cryptic.

Father(s) of Mine
