General Hospital Recap: Willow Vows to Make Sasha and Michael Pay
On today's General Hospital recap:
Lulu calls Brook Lynn a lying backstabber and accuses her of using Rocco. Brook Lynn's confused until Lulu tells her Rocco found the file. She reminds Lulu she said she never lied to her kids, but clearly, she has.
Lulu says she wanted to be the one to tell Rocco and Brook Lynn is quick to point out the double standard. The two argue back and forth, blaming each other until Gio breaks it up. Lulu is quick to point the finger at Brook Lynn and claims it was payback. She says she'll never forgive Brook Lynn and storms off.
Brook Lynn swears to Gio she never meant to hurt Rocco, but he doesn't understand why she did it. He doesn't get why she would dig up the information in the first place. Gio says he was right to walk away and won't be coming back.
Rocco summons Jason to ask for his take on Britt since he's gotten mixed reviews from everyone. Jason says Britt was helpful to him but didn't know her until after what she did. Rocco says he can't be mad at her since she helped him be born. Jason says Britt changed when she had him, loved him and was sad for her to give him up. He says she would be impressed with who Rocco has become.
Jason leaves as Lulu returns and tells her about Rocco's questions and how he said he knew Britt as a good person. Lulu gets upset, but Jason says he told the truth and Rocco deserved to know all of it.
Marco blames himself for Natalia's death, but Jenz says it's all on Sonny. Sidwell says Natalia knew about Sonny's heart condition and he probably got rid of her because she knew too much. Sidwell promises Sonny won't get away with it.
Nina complains to Ava about Willow stupidly continuing to plan her wedding to Drew. She hopes Willow wakes up sooner rather than later.

Ric heads to the gallery to complain about missing money from the Cayman accounts and how Ava shouldn't be throwing the money around. He says they have to work together but Ava says he's been spending time with Liz and lying about it. The two argue about the money and Ric isn't happy when Cody shows up to do some handywork.
While preparing to hang lights, Cody leans in for a kiss with Ava, but she pulls away. She says it can never happen again, and he apologizes for misreading the signs.

5 Best Moments From The ‘Love Island USA' Season 7 Finale
"Love Island" season 7 winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales. In the Love Island USA finale on Peacock Sunday night, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales emerged as the winners, earning the $100,000 prize after surviving weeks of viewer votes and earning fan-favorite status. Season 7 delivered so many surprises. From Yulissa Escobar's dismissal after damaging footage of her using racial slurs came out to bombshell Cierra Ortega's exit following a similar issue (a social media post with a racial slur), the season had tons of drama both onscreen and offscreen. It's no surprise, then, that the finale was jam-packed with similarly dramatic developments. Here's a look at the five best moments from the Love Island season 7 finale. 1. Olandria Knew Nic Kissed Hear On Love Island Episode 1 Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen were one of the remaining final four couples, but Carthen had coupled with Taylor Williams on the first day at the Villa. During the finale, though, it became clear that there were already some sparks between Vansteenberghe and Carthen. He admitted to kissing her when she was blindfolded during a challenge on episode one—and she then admitted that she knew who she'd been kissing (blame the beard). 2. Huda And Chris Break Up On Love Island Finale This perhaps wasn't that hard to predict in hindsight, considering Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley had already shown some lingering tension between them. But on their first official date, the two discovered that they had differing feelings on public displays of affection and had trouble communicating. Mustafa finally said they would be better as friends, ending their connection. 3. Bryan Celebrates Everything He Loves About Love Island Fan Fave Amaya Amaya Espinal became a fan-favorite cast member (dubbed Amaya Papaya online) for her sweet personality and occasional mispronunciations of words. After their formal date in the finale, Arenales leaned into her personality and told her that he loved her 'zoomies' and the way she offered him a safe space. The sincerity of the moment stood out. Iris Kendall, Olandria Carthen, Amaya Espinal, Huda Mustafa, Nicolas 'Nic' Vansteenberghe, Bryan ... More Arenales and Chris Seeley on the season finale of "Love Island." 4. The Love Island Finalists Show Off Their Black-Tie Attire The final date of the season is a formal affair—all four of the couples get dressed to impress before heading out on their last dates and sharing their final reflections. After seeing them in bathing suits for most of the season, it's fun to see the couples take things to another level and see how their formal styles match up. 5. Amaya And Bryan Announced As Love Island Winners Viewers' adoration of Espinal and her spark with Arenales during the second half of the season made this one a no-brainer—and Espinal made it even more memorable as she took a final run around the courtyard, celebrating the victory with another case of the zoomies. Of course, it will be another few weeks before it's clear whether the final remaining couples stayed together. Peacock announced that Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen will host the Love Island USA reunion on August 25 at 9 p.m. ET. It will include winners, other contestants and bombshells, who offer a post-villa look at their lives. And Love Island: Beyond the Villa is already available to stream.

‘Jaws' did what no movie could do today — it made the entire world terrified of the water
Shark! Shark! 'Jaws,' which hit theaters 50 years ago next Friday, is known for making many splashes. It was the first hit for a 27-year-old Steven Spielberg, the man who'd go on to become one of Hollywood's all-time greatest directors. And the innovative 1975 horror film is considered one of the earliest blockbusters. An estimated one third of Americans went to see it. Those are Super Bowl numbers. There's composer John Williams' 'duh-dun' score that everyone can hum, and the classic ad-libbed line 'We're gonna need a bigger boat' that everyone can recite. But my favorite feat of 'Jaws' is that the monster movie had such a powerful bite when it was released that it made the masses terrified to so much as dip a toe in salty water for months. Years! No major films come anywhere close to that kind of impact today. Sure, 'Barbie' got groups of friends to get dolled up in pink frocks, and 'Minecraft' pushed a few idiots to trash theaters for kicks on TikTok. But 'Jaws' actually changed how people lived their lives. During the summer of 1975, The Post wrote a lot of stories about the 'shark scare' along the southern coast of Long Island, from East Quogue to Fire Island, that was 'touched off by the movie version of Peter Benchley's 'Jaws'.' 'Jaws' was set in the fictional Long Island town of Amity. Suddenly, the real place was Sharksville, USA. This one's a real doozy. In August of that year, we reported that two police officers on a boat off Jones Beach encountered a 10-to-14-foot-long shark and started to open fire into the ocean — 15 rounds! — killing the fish. Imagine watching that unfold from your folding chair. 'Everybody clapped. But when we left they were still standing on the shoreline,' one cop said of the Jaws-struck crowd. 'You know,' the wannabe Roy Scheider added, 'if it weren't for the movie, this wouldn't be such a big deal.' But, boy, was it. Scientists believe 'Jaws' caused an entire generation to develop an irrational fear of sharks. They dubbed it 'the Jaws Effect.' And the fin-phobia extended far away from New York state. That same month in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, a tourism chief bemoaned, 'We feel this movie is adversely affecting our coastal economy.' Films can still hurt local economies today, of course. 'Snow White' did because nobody went to see it. The reverberations of 1970s smashes such as 'Jaws,' 'The Exorcist' and 'Star Wars' were enormous beyond what we can imagine now. Take the ingenious demonic possession picture. One shaken man who saw 'The Exorcist' in 1973 broke three ribs during a screening. He's not sure how it happened. Ticket-buyers were vomiting at their seats. A theater in Boston kept 'a stockpile of smelling salts' to wake up patrons who fainted. William Friedkin's landmark film went on to become a huge factor in the 'satanic panic' of the 1980s, which saw thousands of unsubstantiated claims of satanic ritual abuse ripple across America. Back then, blockbusters also rocked the Oval Office. When President Reagan announced his 1983 Strategic Defense Initiative, a plan to use futuristic technology to prevent a nuclear attack, the press jokingly nicknamed it 'Star Wars.' The moniker stuck. I'm pretty sure we won't be reading about 'the Lilo & Stitch law' anytime soon. Obviously, the world is different. 'Monoculture,' entertainment that's experienced by everybody, no longer exists. We're inundated by niche fare and Saltine retreads. Maybe a movie just can't pack the social punch that one could 50 years ago. Then again, no one expected 'Jaws' to explode the way it did. Implode, more likely. Production went 100 days over schedule and nearly $6 million over budget. Some thought its director would never work again. But the next time you sprint out of the water screaming because that fin you saw turned out to be a cute little dolphin, blame Spielberg.

Inside the problem-plagued making of ‘Jaws' 50 years later: A drunk actor, broken sharks and millions over budget
They needed a lot more than just a bigger boat. They needed over double their initial production budget. They needed one of their trio of leading actors to not be so drunk all the time that he'd black out at work. And they needed their three robot sharks — 'playing' the title character — to stop breaking down. The filming of 'Jaws,' director Steven Spielberg's horror classic that turns 50 on Friday, June 20, was plagued by issues on-set in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., during the spring and summer of 1974. Yes, the movie grossed $476 million globally and became one of the first blockbusters and a landmark in the horror genre. But it also very nearly didn't work. 'In many ways, launching 'Jaws' was a film production problem analogous to NASA trying to land men on the moon and bring them back,' wrote 'Jaws' co-screenwriter and actor Carl Gottlieb in the book 'The Jaws Log.' 'It just had never been done.' When producers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown hired Spielberg to direct a film based on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel 'Jaws,' he was just 27 years old and professionally untested. His theatrical film debut, 'The Sugarland Express,' hadn't hit theaters yet. But not sold on the alternatives, they went with the young hotshot. Zanuck and Brown budgeted the film at an estimated $3.5 million and wanted production to take 55 days. In the end, 'Jaws' treaded water for over 150 days and cost $9 million. The biggest diva was the shark. The producers assumed, as with decades of Hollywood pictures, a real great white shark could be simply trained up to do what they needed, Gottlieb writes. That, obviously, was not going to work — although a stuntman was harrowingly snapped at by the genuine article in the waters of Australia. So the team planned to build a 25-foot-long mechanical fish. And the only man they could enlist to do it was Bob Mattley, a designer of '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,' 'Flash Gordon' and others who had came out of retirement for the job. The mechanical beasts were budgeted at $1.2 million (adjusted). The waves only got rockier. When filming began in the pretty Massachusetts beach town, the shark they called Bruce had never been tested in ocean water. Made of tubular steel covered in a sand-and-paint mixture, each weighed one ton. The troubles were endless. There were small dents that would cost $50,000 to fix and constant touch-ups requiring the device be laboriously lugged out. Its motor was eroded by salt and the studio thought the teeth were too white, so they were repainted. At one point, Bruce even sank to the bottom of the ocean. The contraption rarely worked two days straight, and constant delays pushed production into July. There was so much free time, beer had to be banned on the boat. 'All over the picture shows signs of going down like the Titanic,' Gottlieb wrote. On booze: Robert Shaw, the actor who played Quint the shark hunter, was an Olympian drinker. During an on-camera interview, the British actor was asked how he prepares. 'Scotch, vodka, gin, whatever,' he said. But Spielberg underestimated this fact. When shooting Quint's famous monologue to Richard Dreyfuss' Hooper and Roy Scheider's Brody aboard the Orca, he let Shaw throw a few back. 'Robert came over to me and said, 'You know, Steven, all three of these characters have been drinking and I think I could do a much better job in this speech if you actually let me have a few drinks before I do the speech,'' Spielberg told Entertainment Weekly in 2011. 'And I unwisely gave him permission.' Shaw was plastered. Crew members had to carry him onto the boat, and he was so drunk that they wrapped for the day. 'At about 2 o'clock in the morning my phone rings and it's Robert,' the director added. 'He had a complete blackout and had no memory of what had gone down that day.' The scene was reshot — sober. 'It was like watching Olivier on stage,' Spielberg said. 'Jaws' was released in theaters on June 20, 1975. The movie became a global mega-hit and launched the career of one of Hollywood's most prominent and influential directors of all time. However, when 'Jaws 2' hit theaters in 1978, the name on the poster wasn't Spielberg — it was Jeannot Szwarc. The 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' genius was traumatized by the original experience. '[I didn't come back for the 'Jaws' sequels] because making the first movie was a nightmare,' Spielberg told Total Film in 2004. 'There were endless problems with the shark and it was an impossible shoot. I thought my career was over because no one had ever taken a movie 100 days over schedule.' Spielberg added: 'It was successful, but I never wanted to go near the water again.'
