General Hospital (GH) spoilers for Wednesday, July 17, reveal that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) will quiz Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) about Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri (Giovanna Mazza) as they catch up at the Metro Court pool. Carly won’t understand why Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) never mentioned Gio, but Lois may help her get to the bottom of that mystery.

Meanwhile, Gio will confide in Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and worry that he’s overstayed his welcome.

Although Gio loves living in Port Charles, he may fear he’s imposing at the Quartermaine mansion and becoming a third wheel around Josslyn and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer).

Gio might wonder if he should’ve taken Lois up on the offer she mentioned.

Since Gio had the chance to work on a Broadway production soundtrack, he may second-guess his decision to turn it down – at least until Joss insists everyone loves having him there in Port Charles.

Next, it looks like Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) will face off with Ava Jerome (Maura West) and threaten to testify against her in the custody feud over Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola).

Nina will also have some advice for Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) on Wednesday’s GH episode, so that may be about Deception’s continued efforts to fix the whole Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue) mess.

Natalia will open up to Sonny about her regrets on Wednesday’s show.

Perhaps we’ll see Natalia start to rethink her views now that her words have turned Blaze aka Allison “Allie” Rogers’ (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) life upside down.

Sonny will offer to serve as a go-between, so it seems Natalia will take him up on that.

General Hospital spoilers say Sonny will do his best to help Natalia make amends with Blaze, but some challenges are still to come.

At Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) place, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) will struggle with temptation now that he’s asked her to run away with him.

Now that Anna’s giving Valentin a chance to run with Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez), he’s suggested that Anna could come along.

Part of Anna will see the appeal of just embracing this new life and leaving everything behind.

Another part of Anna will feel like this is something Valentin and Charlotte have to do on their own.

Anna will grow increasingly emotional as she asks why Valentin risked it all for Pikeman.

Valentin might admit he was in too deep before he realized what a mess he was stuck in.

Since Valentin presumably feared for Charlotte’s life if he didn’t cooperate, he may argue that was reason enough to step up and do whatever was necessary.

Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) agreed to give Anna two hours to warn Valentin and make sure his escape plan was all lined up.

Unfortunately, John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington) showed up at Jason’s door less than 30 minutes later, so trouble could be brewing.

It looks like Jason will try to stall John when it comes to handing over the new evidence. After John mentions his latest conversation with Ava, Jason will snap that John should think twice about believing anything that woman has to say.

Jason may buy a little more time as he faces off with John, but it won’t be long until John discovers the truth about Valentin and prepares to apprehend him.

Will Valentin manage to get away with Charlotte or will he have to bolt alone instead? Will Valentin get busted before he can leave the country?

Our GH predictions hint that some risky moments are ahead for Valentin no matter what, so we’ll bring you updates on all the shocking news ahead.

Whether Valentin runs or gets taken into custody, General Hospital spoilers say Anna will be heartbroken!
