General Hospital (GH) spoilers and updates for Thursday, July 18 tease hope gone, rookie warnings and career plans.

Next On General Hospital

Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) thinks her hope is gone, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) gives a rookie a warning, and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) may be able to restore Blaze’s hope.

Hope Gone?

Blaze is discouraged about her music career after being dropped from her label and radio stations banning her songs.

Her mother Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva LaRue) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) pretty much ruined her reputation along with the haters.

Her partner, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) is by her side as she tells someone her discouragement.

She says that any hope of reviving her career is gone, not knowing there’s something in the works. Sonny and Natalia hope it will work, at least.

Cody Bell Opens Up To Tracy Quartermaine

Meanwhile, in the Quartermaine stables, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) opens up to Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot).

She asks him when he realized that’s something he shouldn’t be bragging about. Perhaps he’s talking to Tracy about his major faux pas keeping what he knew about himself and Mac Scorpio (John J. York) a secret and then blurting it out.

Cody feels pretty stupid for all of it and perhaps he’s telling Tracy how stupid he is. Tracy, of course would be responding tongue-in-cheek about the realizing that’s not something to brag about.

Rookie Warnings

At the PCPD, Chase is talking to Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) the rookie, and giving him a “rookie warning”.

He tells him something will be the longest five seconds of his life-perhaps he’s giving him a warning about the final step before he’s officially a rookie cop.

Right now Dex is still a cadet-which means he hasn’t completed police school and officially graduated.

So far, however, he seems to be passing everything with flying colors. Chase may be teasing him a little bit but definitely meaning it as encouragement.

Footbridge Meeting

Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) make a trip to the footbridge and talk about what just took place.

Jason gave Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) the time she asked for before giving John “Jagger” Cates (Adam Harrington) Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) satellite phone.

Of course, Jason probably doesn’t know that Valentin apparently skipped town with Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) and the FBI’s bust didn’t happen.

Jason may actually feel a little bad for throwing Valentin under the bus given he was part of saving Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) on Cassadine Island.

But it had to be done to save Carly, and she reassures him he only did what he promised himself.

Hope Restored?

As Blaze and Kristina are discouraged about Blaze’s career, Sonny and Natalia have hope because of Sonny bankrolling an new label for Blaze.

Now they’re telling Brook Lynn Quartermaine-Chase (Amanda Setton) their plan, because she’ll have to run the label. Sonny tells Brook Lynn they’ve come up with a plan, but it all depends on her.

Wisely, Sonny took away Natalia’s chance to control anything in the situation because she’ll run roughshod over the prospective label and everything else.

The look on Brook Lynn’s face is a cross between curiosity and worry.
