GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow Spills To Nina and Then Blackmails Her Own Mother
Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) sunk to new lows on the April 14 episode of General Hospital, where after confessing to her mother, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), that she shot Drew (Cameron Mathison) twice in the back out of desperation, she then turned the tables on her.
As Willow explained the events that led up to her taking Edward’s Quartermaine’s gun and firing two shots at her husband, she tells her mother she snapped after learning Judge Heran was murdered who at that time she felt was the only chance of getting her children back.
Next, Nina assumed that Willow felt so guilty about shooting Drew and causing his stroke, that is why she was so insistent being the only person to care. However, Willow corrected her mother. ‘Drew did not have stroke,’ explained Willow. She added that she’s been injecting him with a paralytic drug supplied to her by Jenz Sidwell.

Nina is stunned and in tears, and asks her daughter, how long she plans on drugging Drew? Willow says she is going to keep it up until she had insurance that no one can come after her, or that no one has any leverage they can use on her. Willow then shocks her mother, telling her she now has leverage on her.
It’s at that point, Nina is clued in. Willow tells her the injection she gave Drew wasn’t pain medication, but the same paralytic drug, she has been giving to him for weeks. Nina realizes her fingerprints are all over the syringe. A manipulative Willow swears she didn’t want to use it against Nina, but she can tell how conflicted her mother is with Jack Brennan making her choose between her and Charlotte Cassadine, so she is making the choice for her. So now, if Nina doesn’t side with Willow, her daughter will make sure she will go down for drugging Drew all these weeks.
At first, Nina is hurt, but then she understands why Willow has gone to such extremes. However, Nina looks at Willow and says, “It’s one thing to shoot Drew but another to keep him trapped inside his own body!”
Willow brings out the tears emphasizing that she would not survive being separated from her children again, so she had to guarantee that she had control over both Drew and Nina. While Willow knows Nina must hate her for this, Nina tries to explain to her daughter that she would be on her side even if Willow wasn’t forcing her to be. Now aware she is all caught up in Willow’s mess, Nina asks her daughter what’s the plan from here?
Looks like Willow is demanding two things from Nina: She wants to be kept updated on Jack Brennan and that the traffic cam footage from the night of Drew’s shooting never sees the light of day. 2) Willow reveals two other people know she shot Drew, but they are keeping it to themselves so far, and and she has to ensure that it stays that way. So, it’s clear Willow knows that Kai and Trina know she is the shooter!
So, what did you think of Willow’s bold move to blackmail her mother to gain leverage over her to now make it seem like it was Nina all along giving a paralytic drug to Drew? Do you see Nina trying to get rid of Kai and Trina to help keep her daughter’s secrets? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Weeping Willow is now and always has been a selfish, deceitful tramp. She said it herself. She cheated on Chase in order to use Michael. She cheated on Michael in order to use Drew. She got much more than she bargained for with Drew, the self-centered user of all time. I am no Nina fan; but, Nina has gone to the mat for Willow time and time again. Blackmail is how Willow shows her gratitude. The only good thing about her drugging Drew is it shut him up for awhile. Weeping Willow needs to be put behind bars for a good long, long time.
Yeah, it’s not good. There’s nothing likeable about Willow. Even crazy Heather Webber is capable of having some fans because she can be comical at times. I see no way the writers can ever redeem Willow without sending her away for a very long time.
Willow & Sidwell almost have the whole cast caught in their webs. There’s almost no one left unaffected by them. Pretty soon, they’ll somehow be retroactively responsible for Molly’s endometriosis (or its miracle cure). Ridiculous.
The look on poor Nina’s face when she realized Willow was just as mentally warped as every other member of that rotten Westbournne/Faison family tree.
Just wait until she finds out her “brother” Nathan really ain’t Nathan.
Considering Willow has turned against those she claimed to love so many times now, maybe my dog Cerberus might finally get that Nina chewtoy he’s been expecting since 2021?
Willow’s gonna have to drug the whole town pretty soon. Next up: Trina, Kai, Alexis, Diane, Alexis’s assistant, Michael, Nina, Brennan, Sidwell… the list goes on.
wait until micheal finds out wlllow and chase catch hell not to mention tracy she will get chase butt
willow set up kai and sidwell
Maybe she will set up Kai, but Sidwell is the one who provided her with the drug that paralyzed Drew.
I think this time, somehow, some way, this will backfire on Willow. She’s still under Sidwell’s thumb….all looks bleak, but my money is Nina will have the upper hand on this eventually.
I hope so. Nina also knows that Willow was tormenting Sasha by playing cruel games with her baby. I hope Nina tapes Willow telling her she shot Drew and framed her own mother for causing his global paralysis and turn her into the authorities. But then Nina will end up feeling guilty all over again and Willow will use that guilt( as she’s always done) to manipulate her.
It saddens me that the great Cynthia Watros’s only story these last couple of years has been predicated upon earning her petulant, horrid, ungrateful, sociopathic daughter’s love. But Cynthia brings her A game to every curve ball she’s thrown, and will give a performance that evocative of Joan Crawford’s Mildred Pierce. Like Mildred finally did with her daughter Vita, Nina will stand up to Willow and turn her in to the authorities. At least I hope so.
Come on, Nina! Develop a backbone! Consult your Aunt Liesl who saw Willow for who she was from the get go. You deserve better than this insidious, tight lipped daughter in a senatorial pink pant suit. Let her go and set yourself free.
Aunt Liesl’s judgment probably isn’t going to look so good, since we’re now supposed to believe she had twin sons and gave one to her sister, to protect him from his father, but then left the other one with that same father?? And then forgot Cassius Clay Muhammad Ali Faison existed at all, apparently.
Yes, Aunt Liesl’s judgement has been all over the place as far as the current writing is concerned. However, if her niece Nina relays to her how her own daughter is simultaneously setting her up while blackmailing her, Liesl will give her tough love advice. I doubt that will happen. The writing has been disjointed, badly paced, and has been plot driven, not character driven.
I hate that they turned Willow into a psycho like her twin Nelle, but Katelyn is always riveting to watch.
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
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!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
