GENERAL HOSPITAL: Michael Admits on the Stand How He Feels About Drew, “I Hate Him”
The Tuesday, January 6 episode of General Hospital was all about Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) plan to make Michael (Rory Gibson) look like the guilty party and the the person that had motive to shoot Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), in order to get her client and Michael’s ex-wife, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) exonerated for attempted murder charges.
In the main thrust of the story, Jacinda (Paige Herschell) confirms she was with Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove), the night Drew was shot and not Michael. Tracy (Jane Elliot) is bamboozled by Alexis when she shows her, and only her, a file that says it contains security footage from around Drew’s house the night of the shooting, prompting Tracy to admit she saw Michael near the house at the time of the shooting. In actuality, Alexis played Tracy and had no actual footage.
When it was time for Michael to take the stand, as all eyes are on him in the courtroom, he explains why he was outside Drew’s house at the time of the shooting: “I was going to ask Drew to keep his distance from Willow, so that she could see the kids again. I parked on Crestview Lane. stepped out of my car. and then my phone rang. It has a special ring tone I had given to my son, Wiley, so I knew it was him, and it stopped me in my tracks.” (That ring tone was “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”)

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
Michael continued, “I heard my son’s ringtone and i thought to myself, ‘What am I doing here?’ Standing in the rain like an idiot, and I realized talking to Drew wasn’t going to change anything. I knew a confrontation with Drew would probably make things worse for me and my kids, so I got in my car and I left.”
After his testimony and outside the courtroom, Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) think they have realize that Michael has to be the shooter and is lying, because since they were hiding in Drew’s house (after breaking into the safe to get the incriminating evidence Drew was holding over Portia’s head) they heard, the “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” ringtone play.

NATHAN BREAKS THE CHAIN OF EVIDENCE
Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), who is beside himself that Michael could have lied to him, has a heart to heart with Nathan (Ryan Paevey) at the PCPD, where he brings up his guilt from years ago when Michael shot and killed Claudia Zacchara was sent to prison, and then brutally raped. The acting police commissioner believes if he would not have convinced his brother to turn himself in, Michael would not be the person he is today after all he endured.
Meanwhile, we are getting a clue that “Nathan” can’t really be “Nathan” when Dante calls him out for breaking a chain of evidence in another case, where he should have known better as a seasoned cop. Nathan plays it off as he’s just rusty from 7 years away from the force, but that little nugget indicates that signs are pointing away from this being the real Nathan.
So, what do you think about Michael’s testimony? Do you think that someone else has the “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” ring tone that was at the scene of the crime that shot Drew? Could it have been Wiley? Does Willow have the same ringtone? And what of Nathan’s misstep with the chain of evidence? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section. But first, check out the scene when Alexis was able to trick Tracy to admitting the whereabouts of Michael on the night of Drew’s shooting below.
Tracy will get her revenge in due time. Look out Alexis – and Martin, if he’s the one who overheard her conversation with Michael in the kitchen.
Wake me when this is over.
I think this storyline would have been over sooner, but GH did their tribute to Leslie and had Erica Slazek’s storyline it got on the back burner for a few months. It’s moving faster now. I think it might be Alexis. The shadow has kind of a ponytail in the back ground. She could have done it. and have the same ringtone as Michael’s for Scout. I think there a twist in this storyline that hasn’t been told. If it was Michael, I think he would have been a better shot. JMO
Well, Willow is the shooter after all, and it looks like she did it as herself and not as an alter as I had surmised. The fact that she could so cooly lie under oath shows she may have a darker side than Drew. Speaking of whom, Drew once again served up some much needed laughs becoming hysterical and shrill on the stand with his eyes popping out. Juxtapose that with the calm, almost bemused look on Michael’s face, and what you have is a nice mediation between writing, direction and acting. Well done.

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.
