GENERAL HOSPITAL: Someone is Trying to Drive Sasha Batty with Baby Daisy; Marco and Natalia Have Irreparable Falling Out
As Daisy’s christening is just around the horizon, whoever is secretly watching the little bundle of joy in her nursery is ramping up their plan on Daisy’s mother, Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson), on the Thursday, June 26, episode of General Hospital.
In story, Sasha puts Daisy down in the nursery wearing a yellow onesie, when she exits, a shadowy figure is seen in the room and an upset close-up of Daisy. Downstairs in the kitchen, Sasha meets with Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and asks her to be Daisy’s godmother. Felicia says she would be honored. The talk turns to Sasha’s absent parents, Holly Sutton and Robert Scorpio, and how they are staying in touch with her. Robert does a video chat with her every morning, Holly doesn’t, but sent a gift and has been texting.
Suddenly, Sasha hears Daisy over the baby monitor so she goes to attend to her. When she arrives back in the nursery, Sasha panics when she finds her daughter facing the opposite direction in which she placed her and wearing a red-colored onesie. In addition, it should be noted in Sasha’s conversation with Felicia, she found milk in the cupboard instead of the refrigerator blaming it on new mom, “brain freeze,” but GH viewers know better.

The smart bet is that Willow (in perhaps another alter or in a fugue state) is visiting Daisy and re-arranging things to drive Sasha crazy and make her look like a bad mother, so that perhaps, she loses custody of her baby, like she lost custody of her children.

Meanwhile, at th law office of Miller & Davis, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) is paid a visit from his mother, Natalia (Eva LaRue), where he gets her to admit she’s leaving the country. Upset, Marco figures out that Sonny (Maurice Benard) orchestrated this “arrangement” with her and he fears that Sonny will actually kill her. Natalia seems confident that Sonny will come with her for awhile and get her all set up. Marco calls her delusional. Natalia insists Sonny is giving her a new life, which he will be part of because he’s promised to provide for her. At that moment, Marco goes into panic mode over negotiating a deal with ADA Turner, now that he realizes his shady mother never intended to honor it. Marco tells his mother he could go to prison.

Lucas (Van Hansis) arrives as a furious Natalia goes off on Marco. In turn, Marco warns his mother, that if she walks out now, she is no longer his client or his mother. She will be nothing to him. Natalia angrily fires back, “I already am,” and makes her exit.
Marco starts to call the police, but Lucas stops him. Lucas wants Marco to fill him in. Marco explains Natalia gave Sonny the evidence she was supposed to give to ADA Turner in the deal they worked out. He explains to Lucas that if she doesn’t show up Monday with the evidence, he’ll be locked up. Lucas says no matter what, he cannot be the reason his mother goes to prison. Lucas reassures Marco that his defense is saying that he negotiated in good faith. He also clarifies it is not on Marco if Natalia makes a run for it. Marco makes Lucas promise that he won’t say a word to anyone on this, and Lucas promises.

Later, Natalia visits Sidwell (Carlo Rota) at Wyndemere and informs him of her fight with Marco. Noting she is leaving the country, she wants Jenz to promise to keep Marco out of his “disgusting business” and not ‘doom” their son to the same fate. In the final moments of the episode, after Natalia leaves, Sidwell looks at a photo of Sonny, and then goes to the parapet and looks as evil as all get out.
So, do you think it’s Willow is moving baby Daisy around and changing her onesies, etc? What do you think about Felicia becoming Daisy’s Godmother? What did you think of the showdown scene between Marco and Natalia? Are you hoping Natalia packs her bags asap and flees Port Charles? Share your thoughts via the comment section below, but first check out the showdown scenes between Marco and Natalia from today’s GH.
I’m beginning to think that Natalia is indeed moving to a warmer climate in the near future, but it’s not going to be Belize.
Sidwell obviously doesn’t have a lot of love for his ex wife, and I wouldn’t put it past him to kill her and attempt to frame Sonny for it.
And it seems like Marco already thinks that’s what is going to happen anyway. Even Carly might fall for it, since Sonny told her that Natalia “wouldn’t be a problem anymore”. Which unfortunately is a statement that could be easily misinterpreted.
Frankly, I was hoping for a different arrival to take Britt’s place. It’s no secret who most of Port Charles would rather send down here right about now.
There had to be a reason they’ve kept Natalia around with this storyline other than the Belize plot. Otherwise, she just would’ve sauntered out of town once she was fired from Deception. Her character is more valuable dead than alive.
Eva LaRue is a good actress, but this character was doomed from the start. If Dr Maria Santos had come to the hospital instead, this would be a whole different conversation.
I think Willow is too obvious. Maybe Holly ?
I thought Holly as well, but Emma Samms typically announces when she’s making a return. A back-from-the-dead Nelle, but there’s really no space on the canvas right now for that. And luckily Heather is still out west with Steven Lars.
If Michael was able to catch Willow & Drew doing the nasty on the playroom floor, certainly a camera in the nursery isn’t a stretch.
Given all the recent security concerns on the Q estate, I’m really surprised Jason hasn’t hired Spinelli to install a state of the art security system yet. I’m sure Monica would “green light” such an initiative, since we’re supposed to pretend she’s still around and aware of what’s going on in her family.
They might want to get a few guard dogs too. Well trained, so they aren’t a danger to the children, of course.
I am pretty sure Tracy already had cameras installed all around the mansion when they kicked Drew out. Wasn’t that why he had to scale the wall to sleep with Willow that one time?
I justvunderstand why they’re never workking
I was thinking Holly—but why? So, probably not. If Willow is doing this , it is under Drew’s direction. I really think he’s drugging her—-or, it is Drew himself.
I do love Emma Samms but found her last visit with Jonathan Jackson’s return and the introduction of Sidwell lacking. Somewhat spy spy giggle giggle… and so much time wasted on the locked up card games… so I wouldn’t find her “spying” on her grandchildren out of her recent character.
Nelle? And if not Nelle herself coming back from the dead, perhaps Willow, Nelle’s twin sister, has developed a Nelle alter.
When Willow woke up and told Drew she was still exhausted, it occurred to me she might be sleepwalking. Yes, it’s crazy to think that she’s sleepwalk/drive all the way to the Qs, change Daisy’s clothes, and get back home but I’ve seen nuttier things on soaps.
And if you remember, Nelle was a gaslighter. She gaslight Carly with Morgan’s ghost. Someone is gaslighting Sasha.
I must have missed something. I don’t recall Sonny ever saying he was going with Natalia to live with her??? Sure that could happen. NOT. And I’ve never heard of going to PRISON for your 2nd DWI at least not around here (Louisiana). You probably should but you don’t. I wish Sasha would close those darn blinds in that baby’s room & sit Yuri at the door!
Sidwell is like a cartoon villain-hard to take seriously but I know we should. I hope Sonny brings him down hard.
And Sonny looked SO good when witch Turner showed up at his house. The last thing I would have been thinking of would be arresting him, ha.
No, Gloria, you did not miss anything. Sonny was clear in telling Natalia that she would be starting a new life in Belize alone. In their last scenes, those two acted like they were saying goodbye to each other. Natalia suddenly acting like the delusional, lovelorn scorned woman is clearly last minute, plot driven writing. Natalia is a highly flawed character-she is rigid, bigoted and judgemental. What she is not, however, is neurotic, naive and silly. Maybe Sonny should send her to Belize with a life sized cut out of himself. I’m sure it would fit in the carry on compartment.
The Sonny cutout idea is hilarious.
Harry, at this point, I’d think you’d agree we’d accept any reason to be rid of the Natalia character.
While Drew is despicable, he’s (an estranged) member of a core family and the show is writing him as someone you should hate. Natalia served little purpose as a living character. Good riddance.

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’
The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.
Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON
Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”
Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).
Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.
“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?
During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.
Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.
You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.
Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Reconnects with Danny; Tristan Roberts Arrives in Port Charles, Lots of Nods to #16
General Hospital’s 16,000th episode was packed with little reminders through points in today’s script that the ABC daytime drama series has set another milestone and it paved the way for the return of fan favorite and newly nominated Daytime Emmy Lead Actor nominee Steve Burton (Jason Morgan). The 16,000th episode also introduced viewers to the new surgeon in Port Charles Dr. Tristan Roberts played by Dean Geyer.
Here are the key takeaways and what went down on the July 13 episode: Tristan and Jason are seated next to each other on a plane heading to Port Charles. Throughout the flight, a beaten up Jason has flashbacks to being thrown into, and being held captive in a cell and tortured. It appears Jason is suffering from some form of PTSD from what he was put through after being dragged out of Port Charles by the WSB months ago.
As the plane prepares to land, Tristan tells Jason there would be a car waiting for him once they land and to enjoy the rest of his life. Later, Tristan arrives at the nurses and doctors hub at GH and approaches Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He tells her his name and that he is the new surgeon on staff.

A REUNION PLUS A HEAD NURSE DEFENDS SONNY
Meanwhile, at the end of the episode, Jason is outside the Quartermaine boathouse looking bewildered when he runs into Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), who is so thrilled to see his father, and the two hugs each other as tears are shed.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth tells Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he thinks its a great idea for him to get the 16th seat on the hospital board, but when it comes times to convince Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) of that, things go awry when Tracy, Laura and Sonny try to work things out. After Tracy launches into Sonny about killing Alan and Monica’s son AJ, Sonny walks away dejected.
Next, Sonny runs into Elizabeth, where he informs her what happened with Tracy. So what’s a head nurse to do? Elizabeth marches into the conference room and reminds Tracy of all the different donations and ways Sonny has contributed to the hospital from the Stone Cates AIDS wing, to the Michael Corinthos Center for Pediatric Head Injuries as well as his constant support each year for the GH Nurses’ Ball.

WSB WAR SCARS
Then, in one of the best parts for longtime fans of the series, Elizabeth talks about her legendary grandparents, Audrey and Steve Hardy and she tells Tracy they would have wanted Sonny to have a seat on the board for all the good that he has done for the hospital. After Elizabeth states Sonny’s case, things took a turn and Tracy and Sonny wound up shaking hands as Sonny is board member #16.
In the how great was it to see Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) together scenes department, the pick-up of last Friday’s cliffhanger is played out as the two former lovers fill each other in on what has gone down in their lives in the last several months including Valentin admitting he had been living in Carly’s attic, and Anna realizing she was kidnapped by Cullum, Sidwell and Cassius Faison. During their conversation, Anna sees the hallucination of Peter August (Wes Ramsey) right while Valentin is standing there.

Later Anna was on her way to saying goodbye to Valentin, when the two share an emotional hug. After Valentin made his exit, Peter reappeared and warned Anna to not let Valentin distract her because she has important work to do. Anna answers, “I know.”
So, what did you think of General Hospital’s 16,000 episode? What do you think is wrong with Jason? What is the important “work” that Anna has to do? Were you glad to see Sonny get a seat on the hospital board, or not so much. Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out the scenes on Jason and Tristan’s long flight to Port Charles.
