Trace Valentin Cassadine's full General Hospital history in Part 1 of this Pier 54 series, from Helena Cassadine's 2009 warning to Luke Spencer through his 2016 arrival on Cassadine Island as a stranger calling himself Theo. Covers Nikolas Cassadine's death, the custody battle over Charlotte Cassadine with Lulu Spencer, Valentin's marriage to Nina Reeves, his history with Anna Devane, and a new lead involving Sasha Gilmore.

This week's Fan Spotlight features Emily and Renee, a mother and daughter who have been watching General Hospital together for decades. Renee got started in the seventies when her grandmother introduced her to the show over after-school snacks, and that love eventually made its way to Emily too. Emily found Pier 54 while looking into starting a mother-daughter GH podcast of her own and has been listening ever since. Her submission sat in the inbox for nearly three years.
