That “I told you so, ” uttered by General Hospital viewers could be heard across social media on Friday, after ABC broadcast the soap opera’s January 16 episode. In it, the jury reached its decision on if Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) is guilty of shooting her now husband, congressman Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) twice in the back.

Before we got there, Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) ran up against a wall with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), who tells them to do nothing, to say nothing, until the trial is over, because they should have come forward much earlier in the investigation, and now, if they do come forward, they could be needing her services as an attorney.

Realizing, Alexis plans to defend her client, right or wrong until the bitter end, the two have to figure out a plan b, so that if Willow is acquitted and the focus shifts to Michael (Rory Gibson), he won’t end up being convicted of a crime he certainly did not do. Speaking about Michael, he reached out to Willow and the two met to discuss what will happen if she is sent to prison. Michael lays out that she will have more visitation rights than any other prisoner.

However, Willow tells Michael, what if it’s the reverse and she is found not guilty? Michael says its a no-go as long as she is married to Drew and that Drew is the issue, which leaves Willow right back where she started! Suddenly, she gets a phone call, the jury has reached a decision.

ANNA GOING BANANAS?

Meanwhile, Anna (Finola Hughes) is still being held hostage by Pascal (Marc Forget) and company, and hallucinates that Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) as a nurse is giving her a phlebotomy treatment while she continues to suffer from polycythemia vera. When Anna can’t understand why Obrecht would be working for her captors, she responded, “He insisted.” Anna is mortified. Now she is thinking that as she thought, somehow Faison (Anders Hove) is alive after all.

Later, the real nurse who is “tending” to Anna is revealed and she walks out of the room and locks it from the outside and talks with Pascal. When he inquired about how the “other” treatment went, the nurse shared that Anna was convinced she was seeing Dr. Obrecht. Pascal then says, “That means she’s ready for the next phase.”

When Anna woke up, she called out for Obrecht but was shocked to see a cigarillo in an ashtray, one that Faison would smoke. As absolute fear came over her, the voice of Faison came out of the speaker saying, “Anna. Don’t be afraid. I’ve been watching over you.” Anna is reeling.

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH ‘ATTEMPTED’ MURDER

Now back at the courtroom, Nina (Cynthia Watros), Drew, Kai, Trina, Michael, ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor), Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Chase (Josh Swickard), all gather to hear the verdict in Willow’s case.

Meanwhile, Willow arrives late to the court. The judge calls in the jury. After reading the verdict, the judge asks Willow to please rise. The jury  foreperson reads their decision, “We, the jury, find Willow Tait not guilty.” Willow looks absolutely stunned, or is she just so relieved she got away with ‘attempted’ murder?

What did you think of the verdict that Willow was found not guilty of shooting Drew? Since we all know she did it, how do you see the truth coming to light and if it does, Willow can’t stand trial for the same crime twice as that would be double jeopardy.  And, what do you think is going on with Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal’s plan for Anna? Are they going to drive her mad, or will Faison be revealed as very much alive? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

I think Willow agreed to divorce Drew if she is found not guilty in order to secure visitation with the kids. After all, no great loss as clearly she hates Drew. There were meaningful exchanges between Michael and Willow in court and we never heard the rest of their conversation before the verdict was read. By the way, we really haven’t seen too many scenes with Rory’s Michael with Willow. Dare I say that they have chemistry? Although I do love him with Jacinda.

Anna’s tripping balls on some as of yet unnamed substance. As they reminded us several times in the episode, Faison’s brain remains in a jar. The rest of him remains here in Hell. And his voice is obviously Pascal and/or this latest newbie WSB “darksider” playing around with AI voice faking technology.

I think willow is going to kill drew for real this time and just act like a grieving widow, and get her kids back. I think the evidence will show up for Micheal that willow is the killer and since she was found innocent…. to bad she’s going to be free, but will never get her kids back.
Anna i feel will get away, and help sunny thwart Sidwell.

I think R.J. is going to go after his blood cousin as his girlfriend. And I also think that the female roommate of the couple is going to go after the other girls boyfriend. After she was so helpful and nice to inviter her to stay with them and find her a job. Spoiler Alert.

Ava

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!

Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.

Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?

At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.

Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.

Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?

Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.

Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt  Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.

You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.

Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
