GENERAL HOSPITAL: The Truth About Ronnie and Martin’s Machinations Revealed

The October 28 episode of General Hospital finally gave viewers some answers, and it is one man’s deep vendetta against Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) fueling all that has gone down at the Qs since Monica died and the reading of her will.

Here’s what went down: Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) arrived at the Quartermaines to have some words with Ronnie Bard (Erika Slezak). However, she exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer, until Martin shut the front door to the living room. Ronnie reminds him that they are not to be seen together. Martin tells her he’s not leaving, and he has a very important reason for his visit, and that no one will ever know they are working together.

Ronnie begins to grow uncomfortable and wants him to leave, but Martin plays all his cards. He snipes at Ronnie by reminding her that if he hadn’t contacted her she’d still be waiting tables. Then in a major part of the reveal that many saw coming, Martin snarls “And lest ye forget. The house, your newfound fortune? None of it would be yours if it wasn’t for me. Because, as we both know, Monica didn’t write you into her will. I did!”

Ronnie claims that if the locket around her neck is all Monica had left her, she would have been happy.  Martin counters by reminding her that she was quick to change her tune after being on the receiving end of Tracy’s wrath. Ronnie admits she didn’t mind hurting Tracy, but she felt badly about the rest of the Quartermaines.

Next, Martin goes in for the jugular. He tells her not to get to comfortable in the house, because she’s going to sell it to his client, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). Ronnie flatly refuses to sell it to Drew, calling him a “pompous ass.” Martin says when Drew gets the house, it will drive Tracy nuts.

Now, it’s revealed that Martin wants revenge on Tracy for destroying his life by bringing his ex-wives to Port Charles to bilk him out of everything he has, plus the prison time he faced. It was in that moment that Ronnie suddenly realized that Martin had drugged her tea so she would blame Tracy, and throw her out of the house!

Ronnie says this all gone too far, but Martin angrily warns her that nothing he has done will be traced back to him. So, if it came to light, she would be arrested for fraud and if she doesn’t sell the house to Drew, he’d take away everything she has from her, including her freedom and he throws the documents to the house in front of her to sign.

Fast forward, and at the end of the episode, Michael (Rory Gibson), Ned (Wally Kurth), and Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) brought Tracy back to the house to see Ronnie. All this, after Ned convinced his mother, she has to go on the offense. Tracy tries to get it together to say to Ronnie that, “she’d like to bury the hatchet and start over,” Ronnie seconds that so they could get a fresh start. However she shockingly adds, “Which is why I’ve decided to… sell the house.” Tracy is stunned as we fade to black.

The scenes between Erika Slezak and Michael E. Knight were gold. Two impressive veterans, who we first came to know as Llanview’s Viki and Pine Valley’s Tad, now having a chance to share some moments together later in their careers. was priceless.

So, what do you think about Martin’s deep-seated hatred for Tracy and his plot? Are you glad that Erika Slezak was revealed to be Monica’s actual sister? How do you think the truth will come out? Do you think Ronnie will ultimately prevent Drew from taking over the house and save the day for Tracy, and then leave town, while Martin will wind up in the slammer? Share your theories via the comment section below, but first check out the scenes were Tracy needed some convincing for a new tactic to get back inside the Quartermaine home.

I am very happy that Ronnie is still Monica’s sister.

Me too. She’s a nice lady despite her mistake. Hopefully she will tell the family the truth and they can turn the tables on Martin and Drew. And they need to sic Laura and Stella on Martin. He knows better and ought to be ashamed. I think they can turn him around.

Martin is a slimeball and no better than his brother, Cyrus.

Really glad that Erika Slezak was revealed to be Monica’s actual sister. And great to see these veteran daytime stars elevate the canvas with star power. GH deserved and swept the 2024 Daytime Emmys so expect the same for 2025. But would like to have seen Erika in the opening sequence. Also you can add the Emmy at the end of that opening! Congrats GH!

Ouch. I can’t believe how horrible Martin is being. The man who loves his mom so much it endeared Laura to him. The man who would do anything for Stella whom he calls an angel. I keep hoping Laura will find out about this and convince Martin to undo this crap before the holidays. I want Ronnie and Tracy to be pals. It seems fitting. Tracy was depressed about losing Monica and Gregory. Here comes Ronnie to hopefully fill that void soon. Ultimately, they both want to do what Monica would have wanted.

Great acting today, and a good storyline. Hopefully, this may leave the door open for a return visit by Erika Slezak…..I hope that happens.

I don’t want it to end. Erika Slezak is so good, she makes it look easy. She is magical, and elevates all of the actors’ performances with whom she engages.

Erika is a good actor she should stay on

Sadly, Erika’s stint is wrapping up.

The acting was indeed phenomenal. Perhaps, once Ronnie departs PC, they save one scene with Erika that has Ronnie revealing Martin’s machinations to Tracy.

As for Martin, there’s no redemption from this. Laura needs to kick her brother all the way to
Pine Valley (or anywhere out of PC).

The Q scenes at the MC dining room were great. Ned had his mother’s back. Michael stood by his family and Olivia was reminded the Qs play differently than Bensonhurst.

Martin is as much a slime ball as his client, congressman dirt bag. I get his wanting to stick it to Tracy but does he have to destroy the rest of the Quartermaine family? I hope Ronnie turns on him and sticks it to him good.

Terrific scenes between Erika Slezak and Michael E Knight. They are great together. I realize that Erika has finished taping her run. I hope there are plenty scenes left for us to savor.

who else is tired of all the Drew drama? Time for him to go.

Yes hes worn out his welcome

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! THAT PART!!!! Drew definitely needs to goooooooo

Yes it is time for his front burner storyline to burn out!! So over his entitled, rude, hateful self to LEAVE!! I HONESTLY thought the character was being killed off… Nothing against Cameron M. but I’m over this character on the show!

Not this OG GH fan

I don’t like this story line. It’s hateful and cruel.

Even if Ronnie sells the mansion to Drew, it doesn’t mean a steaming pile of dragonshit, for two reasons:

First, the will is forged and it’s not Ronnie’s house to sell.

Second, any money Drew has to buy the house originated from Aurora Media. And that’s a company he bought in Jason’s name, with Jason’s money, back when he thought he was Jason.

Jason didn’t make an issue about this back in 2017, because he had no interest in running a media company, and at the time, he didn’t want to punish Drew, since they were both victims of the whole Faison/Helena “brain mapping” plot.

But that was then, and this is now. And now Drew is targeting the entire Quartermaine family, and Jason’s going to be specifically pissed about the way he’s gone after Michael and Danny. So all Jason has to do is take back Aurora and any other assets Drew acquired with Jason’s money. Including the mansion, if that turns out to be the case.

Not that Jason has interest in owning the mansion himself, he would probably give it to Michael immediately. Which is fine, because he was probably named the owner in Monica’s ACTUAL will anyway. Just as all the Quartermaines predicted he would be.

Although he wasn’t know to be in existence at that point, Edward’s will left equal portions to each grandchild alive when he passed (excluding Holts). That’s how AJ got his portion. Retroactively, Drew was entitled to the same share as AJ, Ned, and Dillon. Jason was missing (but not declared dead) when Edward died, so his portion was held in trust for Danny.

So, Drew has money.

Please don’t let this go on cause I hate that drew wants the house he don’t deserve it

This likely won’t go on too long. Otherwise, they’d have to have the following characters all move off the property:

Tracy (already out)
Ned
Olivia
Leo (is he lost in the attic)
Brook Lynn
Chase
Dante
Rocco (lives part time)
Michael
Wiley
Amelia
Jason
Danny
Cody
Josslyn
Trina
Outback

Tracy will find the original will

Published

By

Jason and Britt

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

Published

Finola Hughes

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.

Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.

Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET

Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.

Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT

At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.

Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.

The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.

So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
