GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow is Revealed to Be Gaslighting Sasha with Daisy’s Disappearances
As many had predicted, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) has gone off the deep end, after it was revealed at the end of the Tuesday, July 8th episode of General Hospital, that she is behind baby Daisy’s disappearances. Willow is now ramping up her plan to make it appear Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) is a bad mother, and to get revenge on both her and Michael (Rory Gibson) for the fact that she lost custody of her children, Wiley and Amelia, to Michael.
At the Quartermaine’s, Sasha panics when Daisy is missing from her bassinet and alerts Michael. Chase (Josh Swickard) shows up as she thinks her baby has been kidnapped and explains how several times, Daisy has been removed from her nursery. Suddenly, while everyone is in the foyer, Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) hears a baby cry and goes back into the living room and sees that Daisy is actually in the bassinet.
Olivia then suggests to Sasha that maybe she is having postpartum depression or not getting enough sleep, Sasha tells her that is not what’s happening she would never be too tired to take care of her newborn baby. Later, Chase tells Michael, Sasha says may be imagining things, and the danger to Daisy may be coming from her own mother.

At the end of the episode, Willow is late to see her mother, Nina (Cynthia Watros) at the Metro Court pool. When she shows up, Nina questions her on what to her so long. Willow says she was in discussion on the phone with Drew and lost track of time. However, Willow flashes back to a moment when she enters Daisy’s nursery.
Next, Willow tells Daisy, they are going to go on a little walk. Then, she shockingly says to the little bundle of joy, “Your mommy betrayed me, and your daddy won’t let me see my children, so I’ll show them how it feels to have your child taken from you.”
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Katelyn MacMullen said of Willow’s shocking machinations, that this is only beginning of Willow’s mental flip, especially given her past where she has lost a child, plus let’s not forget, she was sold to the ‘Dawn of Day” cult to Harmony Miller, and Shiloh was the father of her child.

MacMullen responded, “I think everything she’s been through and everything that she experienced growing up and also when she moved to Port Charles absolutely plays a role in why she’s doing what she’s doing, and why she feels she has to do what she’s doing in order to get what she needs, essentially. I do think that her trauma is absolutely going to influence the way that she goes about doing things. It’ll be interesting to see how they may or may not even address that because I think that’s just a really interesting human thing to explore. But I definitely see her trauma coming to the surface because I think, like anybody, your trauma kind of influences the way that you handle extreme stress and stressful situations and grief and all of that.”
So, what did you think of the reveal? Did you suspect it was Willow all along taking Daisy and then putting her back in place in her efforts to seek revenge on Michael and Sasha? What do you think Willow might do next? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
I read all the theories regarding Willow being the baby napper, but I constantly told myself that the Q mansion would have better security. Plus, with all those people living there, I couldn’t imagine how Willow could have gotten in without being seen; let alone still had a key to the place. A lot of holes and suspended belief to make this storyline work. However, Willow’s unraveling is one heck of a story. I just hope Sasha doesn’t get pegged as “nuts” and that this doesn’t go on too long.
Agree.. it is ridiculous for them to think that we would think the mansion doesn’t have security cameras. Nowadays everyone has security cameras so this is a stupid plot line and to make the character of Sasha go through this is nuts. I just hope it doesn’t go on too long. Stupid storyline.
The show plays so loose with the security on the Q property that it’s beyond laughable. With Jason back, you’d expect it would’ve got better. I did like Michael’s comment about getting rid of the Nanny Cam after the Drew-Willow nasty.
Metro Court, which also has questionable security, surprisingly caught Sonny’s guards on their cameras outside Natalia’s room last week.
Side note: we haven’t seen Leo in over a year. If they’re gonna show the new exhibit at The Jerome Gallery (side-side note: Ava’s too smart to fall for Cody) it would be awkward to not have Leo there, as he is the photographer’s biggest fan.
Ironic that the mansion with two police detectives and a “coffee importer” living on the premises is the LEAST secure building in town, isn’t it?
I can’t believe Jason hasn’t paid Spinelli to install a state of the art security system on the entire estate by now. And they should probably get some dogs too.
I miss Leo—what a great kid. Now, more than ever we need the brilliant Dr Kevin Collins to come back from the Gates and psycho analyze Willow.
Yes! And considering Sasha has been the queen of misery porn for the last five years is it too much to ask to let her have 5 minutes of uninterrupted bliss? And is it also too much to ask for the Q’s to install a Nanny-cam which has become a household item for families with infants?
I knew it had to be that unhinged wacko. I certainly hope Sasha isn’t blamed and punished for Willow’s insanity.
I like this recent development simply because it is character driven writing. Willow has been through hell in a hand basket due to her then mother sex trafficking her to a cult leader when she was a minor, the death of her baby Jonah and, recently, losing custody of her children. Considering who her biological mother is, who also had a mental breakdown due to a traumatic past that was based on maternal loss, it makes perfect sense for her to follow in her mother’s footsteps. And Kate has the acting prowess to pull this off. I only wish her recent actions didn’t involve tormenting the ever suffering Sasha. Finally, while I predicted that it was Willow gaslighting Sasha, I was wrong when I predicted she would have developed DID and had morphed into Nelle. I do think that would have been a more interesting psychological development with Willow losing time and her darker twin sister fighting the mommy fight her.
It seemed like they might have tried that blackout strategy at first but then changed their minds. Remember a few weeks ago when they segued to Willow at Drew’s house all groggy from a heavy sleep?
True. Or maybe, just maybe, the flashback which Willow experienced ( of her with Daisy) while lunching with Nina was really Nelle pretending to be Willow. One thing about DID is that when the person experiencing trauma feels helpless, the dominant personality ( Nelle) takes over. I don’t the writers would delve into something that intricate though- wish they would.
Sigh. The careless gaps these writers leave open. Sasha, Michael and the others at the boat house heard Daisy on the baby monitor. That is what alerted Sasha to go check on Daisy in the first place.
Oh wow! Great catch. You’re right!
I think it’s predictable but I’m here for it. The entire Willow/Nina mother/ daughter relationship, has been a fail from the time Willow turned completely against Nina, even after finding out she was her mother, even knowing from Sasha how desperately Nina searched for her child for ten years, even knowing Nina lost twenty years of her life to a coma…sge had no compassion even to this day. We never saw Willow and Nina bond. We never saw Willow have a realization of all Nina had been through, or how Carly had hurt her. We never got to experience or feel any bond between them. For Nina, in-story, and for us as viewers, their relationship is so fragile that we assume Willow, if she was or will again be in her right mind, could turn Nina away again and “forbid” her to see her grandkids, too. So I feel no compassion for Willow. She showed none for Nina. Even when she was confident she would win custody (because Drew told her so), did she ever look at her own mom and say, “I understand now. I understand what it must have felt like to learn I was taken from you at birth. Both your children were taken from you. And instead of understanding that when I found out you were my mom and I was that child, I hurt you. I rejected you. I chose Carly over you.” That never happened, so the person I truly feel for is Nina and her unconditional love for a daughter who doesn’t deserve it.
Excellent points and solid reminders of what Nina went through, and how her traumatic experiences were never acknowledged by Willow (or anyone else for that matter).
My guess is that Nina is going to have to put Willow under a conservatorship, much like Britney Spears was.
Oops, she did it again?
Psych Willow still playing the victim when she put this all into motion? Predictable. lol She deserved to lose custody of her kids. Her psychotic break is long overdue, but the storyline is just too little too late. It’s a stupid storyline only because it’s completely unoriginal to continue torturing Sasha. Give Willow a Shadybrook storyline.
I’m pleasantly surprised with the Michael recast, and I’m loving seeing Michael and Sasha parent Daisy together. Katelyn is pulling it off acting wise, but it’s not as compelling as it could be. It’s also really dumb to have Chase dismissing Sasha’s concerns as post partum depression when he knows her better than that and is better friends with her than he is with Willow.
His detective instincts should’ve kicked in to realize there’s only one person with the motive and means to be messing with Daisy like that. Why are they still writing him as believing the best in Willow? It’s ridiculous at this point, especially after what she did to him.
OH WOW/THIS IS A SOAP OPERA PEOPLE NOT A REALITY SHOW. SECURITY CAMERAS AND WHATEVER DOES NOT EXIST IN SOAP OPERA LAND. PLEASE VIEWER ENJOY WHATS LEFT OF THE 60’S AND THE 70’S SOAPS…THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO THINK THINGS OVER AND MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT REAL PEOPLE…THEY WERE MEANT FOR WOMEN DAYTIMERS TO ENJOY AND IMAGINE……PLEASE ENJOY
Please refrain from using all caps as you admonish us for voicing frustrations that characters, whom we know to be intelligent, for not employing simple problem solving skills. We know it’s a soap that doesn’t adhere to the dictations of reality but we should get to vent our frustrations about redundant fictional stupidity without Captain Obvious coming in here to wag a finger at us while telling us,” It’s just a soap.” Using all caps sounds like screaming thereby piercing the core of my audio processing system. Thank you for your cooperation
I did and I can’t wait to see when she is found out. I want to see Sasha and Daisey stay.
I think Michael, Sasha & Jason were way too quick to have Sasha & Daisy leave town. They were all like who could have done this??? If they’d given it a moment’s thought . . . maybe they would think Willow. Nevertheless-they could have put a baby doll in Daisy’s bed & got some cameras & had Sasha & Daisy hide out at Uncle Mac’s (Port Charles Police Chief’s) house & ultimately would catch Willow.
I just want Willow to find out about Drew and Nina, maybe she’ll come to her senses
People in the ghetto have cameras, and the richest people in town the Q’s don’t? Not even to see whose coming on the premises?
Willow is very mixed up. A lot is Drew’s fault.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Walks Away From The Mob After 30 Years; Steve Burton and Maurice Benard Deliver Emotional Moments
Is this the end of an era? It certainly looks like it after Jason (Steve Burton) explained to Sonny (Maurice Benard), why he can no longer work for him, and be his right hand enforcer for his organization on the Monday, August 3 episode of General Hospital.
In story, Jason filled Sonny in on everything that went down before he was taken into custody by the WSB including: his opportunity to kill Cullum, Rocco shooting Cullum on the pier, being carted off to Jakarta, and watching his son, Danny, who now only has one parent (since his mother, Sam McCall died in 2024) suffer the consequences of his actions. Jason made clear to Sonny he must be there for his son now and needs to set a better example for him.
As emotional Jason is trying to get the words out and becomes overwhelmed with sadness, because he is truly caught between his son and the man that changed his life after Jason sustained longstanding brain damage from being injured in the car crash nearly 30 years ago in 1996.

Jason recounts to Sonny what led him to this decision, “The WSB’s taking me in. They throw me shackles and then they force me in the back of a transport. Danny was there. He’s pounding on the door. Tears in his eyes screaming that what they’re doing to me is wrong. They just can’t take me off. I’m sitting there wondering, ‘What the hell have I done to my kid?’ His mom’s dead. I’m going to prison if I’m lucky. Something just breaks inside of me.”
“So, I promised myself, I got to do better,” continued Jason. “I failed my son too many times and I can’t do it again. If I keep working for you, then I’m going to make sure that your security’s my priority and not Danny. It’s not fair to you to keep me on when I can’t do the things I used to. I can’t kill for you again. I got to stop doing what I’m doing so Danny doesn’t follow in my footsteps.”
Next, Sonny lets Jason know Danny had already tried to join the mob in his absence, and that he knew Jason wouldn’t want Danny in this life, just like he would not want his own children. Jason thanks Sonny for handling the situation. He adds, “I just have a few years before Danny’s going to be out on his own. This my last chance to be a true father to him before he doesn’t even need me anymore. I’m out.”

Sonny gives Jason his blessing with tears streaming down his face, and tells Jason they will always be brothers, and they share a hug, before Jason exits.
Applause to Steve Burton who played the scenes beautifully, and Maurice Benard, who reminded us why the longstanding relationship between Jason and Sonny has been one of the all-time best and one of the cornerstones of three decades of GH. Burton should remember these scenes for potential inclusion for his Emmy reel for 2027.
So, what did you think of the scenes where Jason tells Sonny why he is leaving the mob and can’t work for him anymore? Do you think it will stick? In the past, these two have found themselves, often having to face a common enemy back working together and Jason goes right as Sonny’s enforcer? Were you moved by Steve and Maurice’s performances in the scenes? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
