History[]
The Metro Court Pool and Lounge first appeared on July 15, 2021.[1] It is usually a fixture for the summer season.[2]

Storylines[]
On July 15, 2021, Carly Spencer tells Portia Robinson that she and Olivia Quartermaine remodeled the roof of the Metro Court to add a pool and cabana bar. After the dark last year everyone had, it was needed.
Joey Novak arrives at the pool and talks to Carly about Jason Morgan not scaring him off. Brando Corbin sees Carly getting upset and tells Joey that any Novak can take their car to Brando's garage to get it worked on for free. Joey is pleased with this response and leaves.
The pool was last seen on September 22 when Josslyn Jacks and Trina Robinson hang out there at night. Josslyn says that summer went by so fast and it's hard to believe that the pool is already closed for the season.
The pool was next seen on May 27, 2022 when Rory Cabrera went there and ran into Trina.
On May 31, a Society Setups fundraiser and singles mixer took place at the pool. Britt Westbourne, Brad Cooper, Drew Cain, Damian Spinelli, Dante Falconeri, Sam McCall, Brook Lynn Quartermaine, Harrison Chase, and Austin Gatlin-Holt were in attendance. Terry Randolph arrives while Britt gets drunk and makes an announcement that the "one true love" theory is a fictional idea. A plane flies overhead and a man parachutes into Britt, knocking her into the pool. Maxie Jones assumes it was a stunt that was arranged by the party. Dante recognizes the man and calls him Cody. Then Cody recognizes Dante and laughs that he became a cop. He was told the pool was supposed to be empty during his skydiving gig. Brad flirts with Cody while offering him a towel as Cody only has shorts on. Spinelli is impressed with the stunt but Britt is upset that Cody almost drowned her and she demands Dante arrest him. Dante cuffs Cody and takes him away. Britt seems to be attracted to Cody despite their introduction.
On August 24, after Trina was exonerated for the heinous crime Esme Prince framed her for, Portia Robinson and Curtis Ashford visit the pool to relax and enjoy themselves. It's then that Curtis proposes to Portia - who giddily accepts.
On September 16, Britt and Brad hang out at the pool and they mention that it is the last day that the pool is open.
The pool was reopened on June 1, 2023 where couples Spencer & Trina and Dex & Josslyn hang out and swim. Spencer and Dex call a truce and train together.
On June 8, after getting confronted by Sonny over "betraying" Carly, and Olivia standing up for him and asking Ned forgiveness for not believing him, Ned accidentally overheard that Nina was the anonymous source who turned Carly and Drew into the SEC. He confronts her as she begs him to stay quiet. He spies his mother and Drew and saunters over to share the information, when he trips on a towel, hits his head, and falls unconscious into the pool. Drew quickly pulls him out and the paramedics arrive. Ned remains unconscious, put deeper even into a "twilight sleep" at the hospital as he had a TBI and brain swelling. He unfortunately wakes without personal memories, believing himself to be his 90s rockstar persona "Eddie Maine."
On June 15, The Ashford family celebrates Curtis' 50th birthday, now with Trina as his daughter. Curtis received a handmade frame from Trina, for missing out on her childhood, and an art print of the famous Harlem Savoy, after which his club is named. During the party, several more truths are revealed - Curtis kissed Jordan who pulled away, Zeke slept with Jordan, Curtis was going to never reveal the kiss to Portia, and Zeke warned Trina away from letting Curtis get too close.
On July 7, Dante spots a sniper from a window while at the pool. Curtis is hit by a ricocheted bullet and taken to GH.
On July 19, Sasha is interviewed at the pool for "Deception." When she confides to Gladys about her nerves, her mother-in-law manipulates her into taking more of the pills her therapist prescribed, then Gladys goes to Cody to argue with him. Sasha takes the pills, and then hallucinates that Cody is the evil Cyrus Renault. She grabs a serrated knife and stabs Cody, thinking she's stopping Cyrus.
On August 16, Trina and Ava meetup, where Trina admits she turned down further internship opportunities at The Chuck and asks for her job back at the Jerome Gallery. Ava happily complies welcoming her back - and Spencer, with Ace in the pool, calls for his girlfriend to join them. She does, and they enjoy time with Ace, not knowing that Esme showed up, intent to win Spencer back. When Trina confides she still worries about her mom, he is supportive and convinces her to be with her mom. They kiss and she leaves, and Esme interrupts, taking off her coverup to entice him, making Spencer is uncomfortable.
On the evening of August 17, the MC hosts a luau at the pool, with many PC couples in attendance.
