The Thursday, August 13 episode of General Hospital gave us just what Michael (Rory Gibson) was going to do to Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), now that he had the goods on her that she shot Drew, the verdict in the Curtis (Donnell Turner) vs. Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) case, and left us with Trina (Tabyana Ali) alone with her stalker nearby. Let’s take a look at how it all went down!

When Willow arrived at the Quartermaines to pick up Wiley and Amelia, she was stopped in her tracks when Michael confronted her armed with the truth that she shot Drew (Cameron Mathison) twice in the back. She denies it. However, Michael pulls out of an envelope signed affidavits from Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) and Trina, explaining they were at Drew’s house that night and have proof.

Michael explains her ring tone went off on her phone while she was getting ready to shoot Drew, and it was a match for Wiley’s. Kai and Trina heard the same ringtone at the courthouse when she stood trial for attempted murder. Willow threw the fact that she can’t be tried again in a court of law because of double jeopardy. However, Michael stopped her ranting and says double jeopardy doesn’t apply in family court.

HOW MICHAEL GOT THE UPPER HAND ON WILLOW

Now, Michael is ready to expose her crime. Suddenly, Willow grabs the rolling pin on the counter to strike Michael, but he is able to block her. Michael tells Willow she either accepts the arrangement he is about to tell her, or she will never see her children again. Willow tries to counter that Jacinda drugged her and she can prove it. However, Michael lets it be known that Jacinda is long gone with no forwarding address.

Next, Michael tells Willow she can remain a part of their children’s lives and he will keep their current custody arrangement as long as she moves back into the gatehouse. Willow hates the gatehouse, but knows she has no other option, so she says she will pack up her things at Nina’s and move in.

GUILTY!

At the courthouse, the jury has reached a verdict in the case of Curtis vs. Isaiah. When the jury comes back before the court, the jury foreperson shares, “We find the defendant, Curtis Ashford, guilty of second-degree assault and battery.” In lieu of the verdict, the judge sentences Curtis to ten years in prison at Pentonville with the possibility of parole in two years.

Curtis’ attorney Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) tells his client he has gotten him 48 hours before he had to report to prison, and planned to file an appeal with the courts on the verdict. Curtis then says heartfelt goodbyes with Trina and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), before heading over to Portia’s (Brook Kerr) to see his newborn son, Desmond knowing he will not see him for quite a long time.

WHO’S THE STALKER?

Trina and Kai are at now at Bobbie’s. They talk about her father going to prison, and Trina is channeling her feelings into her songwriting. Kai decides to let Trina be by herself so she can focus and he won’t be a distraction. However, after Kai makes his exit, someone is looking through the windows at Bobbie’s and targeting Trina. But who? We fade to black.

So, what did you think about Michael having the goods on Willow and knowing she shot Drew? Were you happy about how he used the information to gain the upper hand to get her to move back into the Quartermaines gatehouse? Were you hoping for a different outcome? Are we just a short time away from Michael and Willow being back together as a couple after everything that has happened? Then, what did you think of the verdict in Curtis’ case? Glad he going away to prison for what he did? Do you care, or do not really care? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Kill willow off or send her packing to get off her high horse! Dumb idea to make her congressman. Wish Jacinda stayed with MC & Drew took down Willow ..
Curtis, u guilty, deal with it & be gone.. Brooke Lynn should be outted & too found Guilty for leaving accident and making us watch this boring story line draw out as long as it has already leaving Black folks blame each other over what a White woman (Karen) had done…

Katelyn is too talented of an actress to get rid of. While I am no fan of Willow’s, I appreciate the actress, and I cannot wait to see how she is going to react being stuck back in the “house of hell.” Frankly, her reaction to Michael imprisoning her in the gatehouse was perplexing as she has been a creeper on the Q Estate ever since she was forbidden trespass. Perhaps she enjoys being an intruder. In any case, love the smoldering dynamics that now exist between Michael and Willow. More please.

I like the idea of Willow and Michael together if she changes back to a nice Willow. She only became evil when she followed behind Drew and lost her kids.

The fact that she succumbed to Drew’s manipulations and wholeheartedly endorsed Drew’s efforts to prove Michael unfit (irony abounds), coupled with her dealing with a drug kingpin and drugging her Congressman husband, only proves her unfitness to raise a cactus.

I’m a broken record on the subject but for Willow to have a redemption story arc, she needs deep psycho analysis and therapy. Paging Dr Kevin Collins! GH has too many lawyers but no psychiatrists. Back in the day they had three- Gail Baldwin, Kevin Collins and Dr Katz( Heather’s shrink).

Glad Curtis is going away. Can’t stand him (never could!) Bring back Real Andrews! Willow (and Drew) Not one but 2 Nightmares! Why is the story line so long and tedious!

Don’t get rid of Curtis until he finds out he was wrong about Isaiah.

Curtis does not deserve. TO GO TO PRISON FOR 10 YEARS what he did does not deserve that 1 year and a big pay off to ishia

Why didn’t it ever come out that Sidwell paid off the judge to deny Willow custody of her children ! It wasn’t her fault she went down a dark path ! I’m tired of the writers always picking on her ! Why does Michael always come out on top ? He’s an A hole like his mother !!!

I understand your sentiment, but Michael has not had an easy time with it. When he was about 12, he was shot in the head, putting him in a coma for the rest of his childhood. Barely into his early adulthood, he was sent to prison for killing Claudia to defend his baby sister, Joss, where he was raped. Then he saw his wife, the mother of his children, having sex with his Uncle Drew in the nursery on the nanny cam. Finally, he caught fire when Sidwell planted a bomb in Sonny’s penthouse, where he suffered third-degree burns all over his body. So yeah, I don’t think Michael always comes out on top at all. Let him have this small victory.

Willow is a murderous, destructive individual who made a premedicated choice to shoot her husband in the back, twice, before drugging him with the help of a drug kingpin. That’s after she climbed on Uncle Drew in her children’s playroom while married to his nephew. She is gutter trash. She endorsed Drew’s plans to make Michael look like a murderous drug addict. She shouldn’t be anywhere near her children.
I’m not sure why Carly is part of this conversation, but since you brought up mothers , willow has 2 murderous lunatics as mothers. What a pedigree.

Y doesn’t willow go to jail ans Nina to

Now that Michael knows the truth will needs to just be killed off. Very tired of her and the horrible Drew issue debut she’s doing his daughter and everybody around town he needs to be gone hideous story boring as hell. Glad to see Curtis was convicted so anyway finishes storyline that Portia get on and be happy with her new baby and Isaiah.

Edward, Alan, and AJ would be so proud of “Dark Michael” as he is referred to on set – manipulating the advantage like a true Quartermaine.

Self-righteous Curtis is heading where he belongs. Donnell’s gotta take off the flashy watch and earrings when Curtis leaves for Pentonville.

Uncle Luke would probably also be proud of Mikey. He’s really beginning to live up to being the ultimate GH legacy kid, as a Quartermaine/Spencer/Corinthos.

Now I have a visual of Curtis bopping around the prison mess hall as a self-important, self-appointed monitor. There’s Curtis, in an orange jumpsuit with one hand on his hip, admonishing Tiny, “I saw you take two Parker House rolls when you know you are only allowed one! I require honesty from MY men!” Then to Big Bruce, “How many times do I have to tell you not to speak with your mouth full!? Not cool, man. I require MY men to exhibit good manners while dining.” He is going to drive the other inmates so nuts that they are going to petition to have him moved to another prison.

I’m imagining the future make up sex between these two will be hot AF.

Michael: I sincerely hope you’re wrong. Michael is basically a nice guy and deserves better than that chronic scheming, poor-me Weeping Willow. Serena may or may not be good for him. But, Willow definitely is not.

Chase had better not race to Willow’s rescue again. If he does, Brook Lynn should seriously consider cutting him loose. He’s a super handsome man; but, dumb as dirt.

I can’t stand the character of Willow either, but Katelyn’s fantastic. I was just saying that because those two have electric chemistry. On that note, Brooklyn and Chase are dull as dishwater.

I agree with this. However, when Chase finds out that Brook Lynn was the other driver, will he seek solace in the eager arms of Willow? If so, hopefully not in the nursery with the nanny cam going.

I hope not.

Michael is so cuddly

You’re a breath of stale air

I do not understand this story for Curtis. GH typically portrays him as the good guy, so I don’t understand portraying him being so unreasonably bull-headed about Isaiah being the driver when he has no actual proof. It’s all supposition that he has turned into fact in his mind. It makes me worry that after all this, the writers are somehow going to make Isaiah the driver so the audience can get behind Curtis again and he’ll keep his good guy status (and drum up sympathy because he was right all along!).

Isaiah has a valid alibi for that night. He was at Lulu’s house, treating Rocco’s infected hand. He didn’t want to use that alibi at the time, because Rocco was under threats (legal and otherwise) from shooting Cullum. But now Cullum is gone, Jason has been released from WSB custody, and neither the WSB or PCPD apparently have any interest in taking any further legal actions regarding Cullum’s shooting.

So there’s really no reason why Isaiah shouldn’t use his alibi. Since he and Lucky were such good friends, Lulu & Rocco should have no problem confirming his location on the night in question.

As far as Curtis goes, I’m guessing he will be Sidwell’s cellmate at Pentonville, and Sidwell being Sidwell, he’s going to attempt a prison break. Things will go south, and Curtis – using his instincts as a former law enforcement agent – will be the hero of the day and earn himself a pardon from the governor. And he will be released from prison just in time to go after the stalker who is probably going to kidnap Trina really soon.

Willow is gong to be the next Mrs Cornthos – again but this time, she’s going to aim to become the Lady of the Manor and push Brook Lynn to one side! Willow might also aim to have her cake and eat it too with Chase… Great fun to see Willow be bad!

I think the starker is Spencer. He’s back!!!!! I like Ty buts he’s boring. If it’s not Spencer, it’s the football player(Ty’s friend). I think the writer are going to put Trina in a dangerous place and Gio is going to save her then they fall in love.

Even though Curtis was in the wrong, feel bad for him… what about his club, letting Trina run or his dad or it’s in the dust? I’m guessing he’s taking a long vacation or maybe he’ll get pardon… Michael and Willow. It’s back-and-forth thing like a tennis match. I actually don’t have any comment about this one. Guess I have to wait and see.

Finally willow and curtis get what’s coming to them. Now get Drew

I don’t like Curtis im glad he’s going to prison

If Michael and Willow get back together, I’m done. I know a lot of people say that, but that will be the last draw for me. Willow needs to pay the price for what she’s done. The fans want to see her in Pentonville with NINA or at least Ferncliff. GH has dragged this on too long and has milked it for all it’s worth. One message for them. STOP. NOW.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED

When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!

So, glad to see Brad Cooper and Selina Wu back in action? Do you hope they stay for a bit? What do you think of Josslyn getting the piers? Is this how she sets out to destroy Sonny? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Trina, Willow, Josslyn GH Preview

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers for the ABC daytime drama series, and the just released video teaser, reveal that several women are in serious peril, but in very different ways.

First, Lulu (Alexa Havins) finds out that Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is suing her for libel! Looks like Willow took Chase’s (Josh Swickard) advice to fight back on these “allegations” levied by an “out-of-it “Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) who now claims everything he told Lulu in their recorded interview was a lie. However, the GH faithful viewers know what Sidwell said is true.

Willow is ready to prove her innocence to the Quartermaines too after entering their home. Will anyone be able to crack Willow and get her to admit to all she has perpetrated, but in a court of law, so she can be sentenced for some of her crimes, or will she continue to walk around Port Charles forever unscathed?

A SONNY TAKEDOWN

Meanwhile, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) wants to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard). So, she has decided to leverage being forced by the WSB to take the CEO position of her father’s company, JJE, in order to do so.

Sonny contends he has gone straight and is no longer in the mob, but try as he might, he may have to fall back into his old ways so people see the light!

Knowing Josslyn, and everyone else refuses to believe he had nothing to do with the prison beatdown of Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell, Sonny says, “If Josslyn thinks I’m gonna let her destroy me. She’s dead wrong.”

ROSES AND CAR TROUBLE

Meanwhile, looks like Trina’s stalker is amping up their obsession. Now, at her latest musical gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge, she receives a card and a bouquet of roses. The card reads, ‘From your biggest fan.”

Later, we see Trina sitting in her car having trouble getting it to start. Suddenly, there is a knock on her car window. Quinn (Jequan Jackson) is standing there with a smile on his face, and says, “Car trouble?” Trina is startled. Is Quinn just there to help out, or is something more heinous about to go down?
