General Hospital Wednesday, August 21 Spoilers: Ric Lansing Stuns Molly – Sonny Baits Valentin – Kristina Fumes Over Baby Name

General Hospital (GH) spoilers for Wednesday, August 21, reveal that Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) will have a private conversation with Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) and insist that they can keep something between them.

As far as Alexis is concerned, she’ll contend that Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) never need to know what Kristina intended to do – presumably regarding Kristina’s plans to take custody of the baby.

Meanwhile, Molly will tell TJ that their little girl deserves a name, so she’ll declare that it’s time to give her one.

TJ and Molly will select this name without any input from Kristina, so that news will cause major conflict soon enough.

That’ll put Alexis in a tricky position as she works to restore peace between her daughters, but Molly will probably just storm out on Kristina in the end.

At the gallery, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) will get tough with Ava Jerome (Maura West) and perhaps push her to do the right thing instead of going along with John “Jagger” Cates’ (Adam J. Harrington) attempt to railroad Kristina.

Later, it looks like Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) will talk to Trina about all the drama and make a prediction about Ava landing behind bars instead, but Trina will insist she wouldn’t bet on it.

There’ll be some Ava-related conflict for Trina and Josslyn to work through since Trina will still show some faith in Ava as her friend.

As for John, he’ll keep trying to back Ava into a corner.

Ava is clearly uncomfortable with John’s latest strategy, but Agent Cates will maintain that the only thing Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) responds to is leverage.

Next, Sonny will give Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) updates on a theory, which may give him some ideas about how to find Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

It turns out that Sonny will want to use Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) as bait to lure Valentin out of hiding.

Speaking of Anna, she’ll get in someone’s face and force them to make a choice.

That could involve an attempt to get Ava off John’s team – or maybe Anna will be playing hardball with John himself instead.

Finally, Molly will make a stunning discovery on Wednesday’s GH episode, so there’s a good chance that’ll be about Ric Lansing’s (Rick Hearst) comeback.

Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) just called someone for a favor, so it may be revealed that she’s the one who summoned Ric since he indeed owes her.

General Hospital spoilers say Ric’s return to Port Charles is imminent, so he’ll reunite with his daughter and give Molly quite a shock in the process.
