GENERAL HOSPITAL: Drew’s Got the 411 on Judge Heran But It Could Prove Deadly, Isaiah and Portia’s Passion Ignites
Several lives are about to change significantly, after Thursday’s, August 28 episode of General Hospital, and we know of one person’s body that will land in the steely waters of the pier by the time Friday’s cliffhanger rolls around, but will it be Judge Heran (Tessa Auberjonois) or Drew Cane (Cameron Mathison)?
In story, Drew shows up at Aurora to see Michael (Rory Gibson). As snotty as all get out, Drew tells Michael that he must bring Wiley and Amelia to Willow, apologize to her, and share custody, fifty-fifty. If not, he’s going to use new evidence he has that Sonny (Maurice Benard) bribed Judge Heran to rule in Michael’s favor and drag him back into court, where he will lose full custody. Drew strongly suggests that he take his custody offer.
Next, Michael tells Sonny about what Drew said, and Sonny swears he didn’t bribe the judge. Michael believes him, but he says Drew claims to have proof. Sonny has to figure out who bribed the judge.

BRIBE CITY
Meanwhile, a vengeful Marco (Adrian Anchondo) tells his father he made a move against Sonny. He informs Sidwell (Carlo Rota) that he told Drew Cain that Sonny bribed the custody judge. Sidwell is incensed that his son messed up his plans to bring Sonny down, but Marco wants justice for the death of his mother Natalia and wants Sonny to pay. Sidwell says if Sonny finds out from the judge that it was actually him that paid her of they’re in big trouble. Sidwell says they need to get to the judge pronto before Sonny has the chance.
Elsewhere, Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) is still being held at the PCPD and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) shows up to represent her. Stella was targeted by Drew Cain, and Alexis tries to explain to her, it’s not about what she did, it’s who she knows … Curtis (Donnell Turner)! At the same time, Curtis is in the middle of involved in an heated confrontation with his wife, Portia (Brook Kerr) at the hospital. Once again, Portia is telling him that she knows he wants to be with Jordan (Tanisha Harper). Curtis is trying to tell her he is still with her, even though she has lied so many times, and if it’s wasn’t her for her lies, Stella would not be trying to stay out of jail.

THROWING MY MARRIAGE OUT THE DOOR
At the same time, Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) goes in on Jordan who shows up at the GH nurses hub looking for Curtis, which gets the good doctor all fired up, in that it’s clear she wants to be with Curtis. Back in her office, Portia tells Curtis if he walks out the door, their marriage is over, and indeed he walks out. She has another meltdown smashing photos and things in her office while crying and trying to take her wedding ring off. Enter, Isaiah, and as he helps her get the ring off, the two become tangled up in the throes of passion. In the hospital hallway, Jordan tells Curtis that it was Drew who pointed the agents towards his Aunt Stella.
FATHER AND SON
Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is missing the mother who raised him, Camila, and today is her birthday. He arrives at church where he has several moments alone to think about her and share his grief and his thoughts including: how terrible he feels that he is no longer playing the violin. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) asks Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) to go to Gio, because he needs his father.

Dante arrives at the church, and shares a very touching scene about the early years in Bensonhurst and holding Gio as a baby, something he had never done up until that point in his life. He also recalled a touching story about Camila and all the relatives. In the end, the icy father and son relationship between the two thawed slightly, but the scenes were well-played by both Dominic Zamprogna and Giovanni Mazza.
As the episode came to its conclusion, Drew was in his office calling Willow to tell her he is making headway to get her kids back. Just then, Curtis arrived and hung up Drew’s call with her. Then, he told him, “This crusade you have against my family needs to stop. You need to end it, or I will end you.”
So, who do you think is going to land in the water of the pier? Will it be Judge Heran’s dead body or an attempted murder on Drew? What did you think of Portia and Isaiah going at in the Chief-of-Staff’s office? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below, but first check out the scenes from today’s GH featuring snide remarks from Isaiah for Jordan!
Are we finally done with Curtis & Portia? Is he still gonna protect her sorry behind from Drew?
Isiah and Jordan had chemistry. Not sure if he and Portia do, but we’ll give it a little time.
And please, please, please don’t do a geriatric who’s the daddy storyline?
Marco is looking less worthy of Lucas as the days go by.
Will Kai turn on Drew once he finds out what Drew did to Stella?
Body in the water likelihood (updated):
1. Judge (surging into first place)
2. Colette (although more story to tell)
3. Dalton (Goddard hinted he wrapped at GH)
4. Drew (too easy for a key character)
I thinks Kai is going to play double agent and find the evidence that proves Portia tampered with Heather’s blood test and give it to Trina.
The interaction between Gio and Dante was very touching as was the interaction between Gio and Brook Lynn yesterday. There is room for some healing there. And I am hopeful for healing between Brook Lynn and Lois and Gloria.
I was not happy with the lip lock between Portia and Isaiah. (I find Portia annoying but that’s another story.) Portia accuses Curtis of not respecting their marriage and here she is actually sucking face with another man. From the looks of it, things may go farther than sucking face.
I complained a few months ago when they had Portia scream, throw and break stuff in her office like a toddler. And yesterday, they re-wrote the exact same scene. Really? A doctor? A co chief of staff? That’s the best they can do? Twice? Save those tantrums for Carly and Ava. Get creative. Isaiah and Portia getting cozy in her office was a big eye roll too. I don’t expect Oscar-worthy material on a soap, but how nice it might be if the writers aimed high.
Usually it’s Sonny who throws stuff (barware) and yells SOB.
I’ve been known to do the exact same thing, but always joking
I find Portia to be a silly, petty woman stuck in arrested adolescence. If she’s not shrieking and throwing high pitched tantrums, she’s engaging in petty middle school mean girl games against Jordan. It’s hard to fathom she’s co-chief of General Hospital. I don’t know if it’s the actor’s choice or the director’s but Portia comes off as an undignified person. Case in point— while getting ready for her wedding to Curtis, Portia let out a litany of girlish squeals and high pitched screams that were nails- on- the-chalkboard annoying. When she converses with Trina, it feels like her daughter is the only adult in the room.
Good analysis Harry. Steve Hardy is rolling over in his grave. Portia’s stint as Co-Chief is making Liesl’s period as chief look great in comparison.
When Isiah took Portia for a “test drive” on Friday, I wondered why did they stick him with her when Wilson has show chemistry with many other costars.
And, where in the world is Terry?
Good question. Terry has dignity and is believable as a chief of staff of a hospital but you never see her even in passing.
Yes, Lucas is in for heartbreak. He doesn’t have a clue about his boyfriend. Now, Portia! She started out as a strong character. A fine doctor, with a loving daughter. But, the woman had/has too many damn secrets! She knows that Curtis hates secrets and lies, but she constantly racks them up! Curtis has sacrificed his career for her, forced him to deal with the devil (sorry Satan!) and now she’s getting down and dirty with Isaiah?! Everything that is coming to her, she deserves!
I agree with OG Steve’s take on Marco. Please do not make him a bad man like his father.
I had and still have high hope for a loving romance for Marco and Lucus. It would be great to see a happy, loving gay couple.
I agree. Why does Marco have to be a bad dude? I really wanted him to be a good partner for Lucas.
Someone please send Drew back to Hallmark
Or hit his head and the good Drew comes out!
lol I didn’t like him there either he’s a lousy actor. And Zidwell where did they pull him out of awful just awful actor that whole story line stinks . What’s with these writers O miss the old ones story was much more interesting.
I think Cameron is better at playing the slippery sinister villain than he is at playing the squeaky clean hero.
I like Drew. He’s a nice guy.
Sooner than later, pls!!
I am so for Curtis and Jordan and I hope Portia and the doctor get caught and out of the way! Never liked Portia and now not so fond of Isaiah! He couldn’t have Jordan so he goes after Portia? And he wants to attack Jordan on morality?? I think not, sleaze!
I agree, Isaiah was so strong, appeared to have morals and was on his way to being an admirable doctor.. lately he seems like a big wuss.
The judge
Get rid of Drew. Everyone is sick of him!!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
