GENERAL HOSPITAL: Portia Confesses Her Affair with Isaiah, Chase is Suspended, Alexis Gets an Anonymous Tip
Just when you think Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has lost all hope of casting doubt on anyone else who could have motive to shoot Drew (Cameron Mathison) during Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) trial, by the end of the Tuesday, December 23 episode of General Hospital she received a very welcome letter.
But before all that, let’s take a look at how both Portia (Brook Kerr) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) lives have been upended by their confessions on the witness stand earlier. Chase is called to the stand, and Alexis asks him about his previous and current relationship with Willow. He goes to say that when he voiced his concerns about Willow becoming the prime suspect, the PCPD did nothing.
So at that point, he began his own investigation as a private citizen. Chase believes the lack of evidence against Willow, and that there are seven other suspects, is a miscarriage of justice. During cross-examination, ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor) got Chase to admit that his private investigation didn’t uncover any evidence to exonerate Willow, either. Once he stepped down from the witness stand, Dante ordered him to the station.

Now back at the PCPD interrogation room, Dante and Chase have a major confrontation. Dante claimed that Chase undermined the entire department and told him that he was not worthy of his police badge. Next, Chase fired back that Dante doesn’t deserve to wear one as the acting commissioner either, because he was clearly trying to sway the investigation away from his brother, Michael. He added, “I think that you screwed up Michael’s (Rory Gibson) life once before and got him sent to prison. Now, consciously or not, I think this is your way of making sure that that doesn’t happen again.”
CHASE PAYS THE PRICE
Dante told Chase he is way out of line. Chase apologized, and said Dante should have paused the trial. Dante came back with that they had the footage of Willow outside Drew’s house, and not where she said she was at the time the congressman was shot, which was damning evidence. Now, Dante questions Chase, if he is the person that tampered with the video evidence that somehow disappeared at the start of Willow’s trial. Dante also on Internal Affairs would be questioning him. Finally, Dante suspends Chase from the police force and asks him for his badge. Chase puts it on the table and walks out.
Back at the trial, Portia takes the stand, with Curtis (Donnell Turner), Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) and Trina (Tabyana Ali) in the courtroom. Alexis questions her if she ever tampered with medical records. Portia admits she changed the test results of Heather Webber to send her back to prison, so she would not harm her daughter Trina. She also revealed Drew found out about it and blackmailed her to get Curtis and Aurora Media to say positive things about his election campaign. Quickly, Alexis was able to establish a motive and later that Portia may have had access to Edward’s gun when she visited the late Monica Quartermaine twice a month for medical advice since she is the Chief of Staff of General Hospital.

However, Alexis’ case against Portia blows up in her face and Portia’s, when Alexis asks where she was during the time Drew was shot. Portia begs Alexis not to do this as tears begin to well up in her eyes. Under oath, Portia admits she was at the Metro Court Hotel in a room with Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson). With her affair coming to light, Trina walks out of the courtroom and Curtis is angered.
NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE
Outside the courtroom, Portia attempted to apologize to Trina, but Curtis intervened and asked Kai to take his daughter home. Now alone with Portia, he lit into her for all of her continued lies, but all he wants to know is if the baby she is carrying is his or Isaiah’s? She admits she doesn’t know. Curtis is fed up with Portia and walks away from her, leaving her sobbing outside the courtroom sitting next to Ava (Maura West) who tries to console her.

Meanwhile, back inside the courtroom, Drew is furious with Alexis and since she blew the case and now he could be charged with extortion after Portia’s testimony. In turn, Drew forbids her to spend any time with her granddaughter Scout over the holidays. Later, after Willow and Drew face reporters and leave (the court is in recess till after New Year’s), Alexis receives a letter via a messenger and it’s typed out. It does its job of pointing the finger at Michael Corinthos and Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), where Michael had been at Drew’s house the night he was shot and Tracy saw him there.
Now let us know, does anyone think that letter could be from Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight), who was already pissed at Tracy for her remarks to him at the Metro Court, and having to offer her an apology for forging Monica’s will? Who else would have tipped off Alexis?
Meanwhile, what did you think of Portia’s courtroom confession, and Chase putting his job jeopardy yet again? Is this the end of the line for him as a cop, or will new evidence against Michael and Tracy coming to light, be the end of Dante as the temporary commissioner? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section, but first check out the moment when Chase took to the stand.
And just as a Devil predicted, Portia had an alibi for the night that Drew was shot, but it had a heavy price tag. And now Trina knows she’s been accusing the wrong parent of cheating. It’s too bad Trina probably won’t be speaking to her mother for a while, because at least she could let her know that she doesn’t have to worry about Dragon Chow Drew blackmailing her anymore.
Of course there’s a reason this trial just got a two week postponement, and I doubt it was just because of the Hellidays. I suspect somebody’s going to find out that Trina & Kai were in Drew’s house when he got shot. Not that they actually saw anything, but they’re probably going to spend some time getting grilled by the police anyway.
Well, I think pretty much everyone predicted that Portia would have to confess her affair in order to secure an alibi. You don’t have to be a devil to have predicted that.
They are ruining the character of Dante. He is being an asshat to everyone. I knew his Sonny side would win out. He is the one who should be losing his badge, not Chase!
I beg to differ. Chase has been behaving completely unprofessionally. However, I do agree Dante’s behavior toward Gio has been abysmal and illogical.
I totally agree Addy. Chase’s crusade for Weeping Willow is totally unprofessional, ridiculous and a slap in the face to his wife. I’m glad Dante disciplined him. I also agree Dante’s treatment of Gio is completely over the top and unwarranted. Gio’s maturity is shown by his desire to try to keep the peace with Dante in order to have a relationship with Rocco.
Actually, when Chase was accusing Dante of cutting Michael some slack, because of his guilt over previously helping send Mikey to prison for his completely justified axe-handling of Claudia Zucchini, Dante’s reply to him should have been something like this:
“Yeah, and you’re making excuses for Willow, just like you did for her psychotic twin sister Nelle”
Excellent point, Satan! Chase certainly is a little nut magnet.
Great episode. Brook Kerr really shone.
I think the letter writer is Willow’s alter! I think she doesn’t remember moving Daisy around nor shooting Drew. I think her other personality will come out on the witness stand! She can then get away with it due to mental illness! (: (I just hope they don’t have a dumb ending to this storyline – I only wish whoever shot Drew hadn’t missed and killed him off!!!!!)
I agree Freeman. The shooter was some Willow alter. It’s a good thing that Kevin Collins is back because she is definitely in need of a nice long stay in the psychiatric hospital. But, too bad Willow wasn’t a better shot. That snake Drew has got to go.
Hope you’re right! Love that idea.
The letter was written by whomever it was sneaking around the Q mansion and eavesdropping on Tracy & Michael’s conversation last week. The two most likely suspects there are probably Chase – who lives at the mansion, and is desperate to frame Michael. Or Martin, who was seen at the mansion that same day and might have hung around longer than anybody realized. He would be doing it out of “self preservation” to keep Dragon Chow Drew off his back. And maybe a little bit of spite towards Tracy thrown in.

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.
