Todd’s family is in shock and demands answers when they see the man with Todd’s original face. Todd insists that he is an impostor. The man with Todd’s original face begs Starr to acknowledge that he is her father. Jack, however, sides with Todd. Blair and Tea don’t know what to think. John finds Baker who refuses to answer John’s questions. The man with Todd’s original face pulls a gun. Todd demands that he be arrested. Todd convinces Tea to leave with him and begs Tea to believe that he’s Todd Manning. Meanwhile, before the man with Todd’s original face leaves, he shows Blair the wedding photo, arguing that they were married. He grabs her and kisses her.
Rex, upon the arrival of the man with Todd’s original face, abandons his quest for vengeance. He goes home and emotionally confesses to Gigi’s picture what he almost did. Bo and Nora arrive home from a visit with Matthew. Destiny shows up, hungry for news about Matthew. They have little news to report, but are still actively trying to find out who hurt their son. They ask her again about the gum wrapper they found. At EOD, Destiny goes to the Buenos Dias where she runs into Nate and is rocked when she sees him stuff a gum into his mouth – and it’s the same unusual brand whose wrapper Bo and Nora found. After pressure from Dani, Nate comes clean about his part in Matthew’s injury. When he asks if she’s going to tell Bo and Nora, she makes him leave. Vivian tells Shaun Destiny could be pregnant. Destiny sees them leaving and hides so that she doesn’t have to deal with them – or the baby she’s carrying.
Viki, Joey and Kelly are present for support as Clint leaves his hospital bed to be arraigned on multiple charges, including the murder of Eddie Ford. Separately, Bo and Nora rethink the decision they made to let Clint take the secret of Matthew’s guilt to his grave now that he’s going to live. At EOD, Nora tells the judge she’s not prosecuting Clint for Eddie’s murder and is asked to explain why. David plans to screen “Vicker Man” for Bo and offers his Pa a stick of gum which Bo recognizes as the brand chewed by the person who must have attacked Matthew. David tells him he got the gun from Nate Salinger. Nate confesses to Ford that he’s the one who caused Matthew’s condition. At EOD, Dani tells Nate his secret is secure, but the teens are unaware of Bo’s discovery. Dani tells Destiny about Nate’s role in Matthew’s collapse. She confesses to Dani her own huge secret that she’s pregnant with Matthew’s child. Meanwhile, Shaun and Vivian are planning to confront Destiny. Echo thanks Rex for his help in securing her release from jail. Rex confesses that he almost took a drastic vengeful action but thought better of it, then confesses that he saw Gigi the previous night. Echo understands why he’d conjure up Gigi’s image, but Rex insists she was real. Later, when he’s alone, Rex sees Gigi again. Dorian warns Echo that although she had the charges against her dropped, she plans to run her out of town.
Téa confronts the man with Todd’s original face at his jail cell. He insists that he is the true Todd Manning and presses his claim on that life – including paternity of Danielle. Téa finds his memories of their tumultuous history difficult to ignore. Blair is unable to answer Dorian’s questions when asked whether she believes the man with Todd’s original face over Todd. Todd asserts his fatherhood over Dani when he throws Nate out of the house. Téa asks Todd if he’s the real deal or a fake; Blair calls Tomas in need of answers; and the man with Todd’s original face has another visitor – Viki. Nora does some fancy footwork when explaining to the judge why she’s dropping the murder charge against Clint. The judge is forced to accept Nora’s statement that she and Bo have identified the real suspect, who happens to be out of their grasp in another jurisdiction. Clint covers when asked why he confessed to the crime in the first place. Clint does plead guilty for the other crimes with which he is charged. The family is shocked when the judge refuses to send Clint back to the ICU, instead remanding him to police custody to await trial. Elsewhere, Bo questions David about the gum he’s chewing. David says he got it from Nate. Bo realizes that Nate caused Matthew’s injury. Nate, meanwhile, has won Dani’s assurance that he’ll keep his secret. But there’s no guarantee their relationship will survive, especially if Todd has anything to say about it. Nate is intercepted by Bo who ultimately confesses the truth. At EOD Bo goes to see Nora, who tells him about the culmination of the court proceeding. Bo, in turn, tells Nora that he knows who hurt Matthew. Again, Rex sees Gigi, but she disappears before he can catch up to her. Echo worries that Rex needs professional help.
Viki’s stunned to see the man with Todd’s original face. He emotionally pleads with her to believe he’s really her brother. She’s confused and goes to John to find out more. John has the DNA test results. Tea challenges Todd to tell her what’s going on. He tells her what he knows, but Tea demands to know why Tomas said he isn’t Todd Manning. Todd swears he doesn’t know. He begs her to believe him. Before she can answer, Jack enters and makes an emotional vow to his father. Tomas tells Blair the story of his involvement with Baker and how he first came into contact with Todd. But by the EOD, he’s forced to admit that he still doesn’t know which Todd Manning is the real one. Starr and Jack argue about the man with Todd’s original face vs. Todd. At EOD, Starr appears at the jail cell. John questions Baker but is interrupted by the Feds. They force him to spring Baker from custody. He puts a tail on them.
Todd is unhappy to learn Starr isn’t sure if he’s the real Todd and grateful Jack is. He’s worried that Tea isn’t totally convinced. Tea reminds him there’s a DNA test. Blair and Tomas arrive, to try to find out what happened after Tomas handed over the beaten Todd to Baker. Todd resents having to match Tomas’s story, and he offers no details. Starr quizzes the man with Todd’s original face on family memories. She discounts his prowess because she thinks he read all that stuff in the Todd Manning biography. He finds out that Starr has a baby and they have an emotional moment that leaves Starr very conflicted about whether he’s her real father. John tells Viki that they have the DNA results and can confirm who the real Todd is. Viki is emotional, wondering if she’s given her love to a fake. Tea arrives and argues about the legitimacy of the DNA results. John rounds up everyone at Todd’s house and at EOD is about to open the results to answer the question: who is the real Todd? Shaun, Dani, Destiny and Vivian meet at Vivian’s office. The pregnancy is confirmed and Vivian warns she’ll have to make some decisions fast. Destiny considers her options and at the end of day has
At the conclusion of the Monday, July 27 episode of General Hospital, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) showed up at the front door of his house much to the shock and dismay of his wife, Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen).
The major turn of events, where for the first time in months, Drew is no longer in a locked-in state thanks to the paralytic drug that Willow and her mother Nina (Cynthia Watros) have been serving him, could mean the end for Willow, but will it?
Viewers learned that as Nina was in freak-mode with Jack (Chris McKenna) after pushing Drew in his wheelchair into the lake surrounding the Quartermaine boathouse, that Gio (Giovanni Mazza) found him in the water and saved him. Nina is mortified.

Meanwhile, Willow has just returned from the PCPD where she was brought in for questioning by Chase (Josh Swickard), about her dealings with Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), just as she was trying to sneak out of town with Amelia and Wiley in tow.
As Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Molly (Kristen Vaganos) question Willow on her involvement with Sidwell, Willow gets mighty defensive and offended, while putting on her game face. After she walks out on the interrogation, she heads back to her home, so she can gather her belongings and flee the country.
Little does Willow know, Jack made a deal with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and recovered the missing black box which contains the dossier on Drew so he, Nina and Willow, all have leverage to hold over Drew.

Back at the Cain residence, Willow is gathering things off the living room floor when she sees muddy footprints. Suddenly, the front door opens and shuts. Willow turns around and see a soaking wet Drew with rage all over his face! We fade to black.
Today in the official GH preview of the Tuesday, July 28 episode (see below), Drew says to Willow, “I am so excited about what comes next.” Plus, look for Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly (Laura Wright) to finally see each other after Jason’s captivity by the WSB for months.
So, what else will Drew say to Willow? Do you think he has been affected by the long term use of the paralytic drug? Does he have amnesia? Does he know full-well everything Willow and Nina did to him, and will tell Willow how he is going to destroy her life? What do you hope goes down? Let us know you thoughts via the comment section below.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Tries to Help Rocco Move On; Nina Makes Last Ditch Effort to Silence Drew
The Friday, July 24 episode ended with quite the cliffhanger with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), pushing a wheelchair-bound Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) into the lake surrounding the Quartermaine boathouse.
Previously, Nina received a call from Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) telling her that she received very bad news from Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna).
The WSB Port Charles Bureau Chief called the congresswoman to inform her that the black box containing the leverage he has over Drew has gone missing. Saying he owed Nina, Jack was willing to provide a plane out of town for her and her children, Wiley and Amelia, with passports for new identifies, but they must leave tonight.

Willow tells her mother she can join them if she wants to, but it’s up to her since she has a life in Port Charles, but she has to go and get ready and to let her know. Suddenly, Chase (Josh Swickard) shows up at Willow’s office telling her he has to take her down to the PCPD.
DREW PUSHED INTO THE WATER IN A WHEELCHAIR
After her call with Willow, Nina becomes desperate, so she unlocks the wheels of Drew’s wheelchair in horror, when suddenly Drew speaks (as had been in the ABC promo for GH released on Monday), “What’s wrong, Nina? Get some bad news?” A shocked Nina replied, “Bad for me. Worse for you.” Suddenly, she pushes Drew’s wheelchair with Drew in it into the lake.
Meanwhile, the heart of the episode was brought by Steve Burton and Finn Carr who finally had the scenes where Jason and Rocco talk about what happened the night on the pier, when Rocco shot Cullum and Jason took the blame and was carted off by the WSB for several months.
Jason attempted to ease Rocco’s guilt telling him he is indebted to him for saving his life and Britt’s. When Rocco questioned if Jason would do the same thing all over again knowing how much it cost him, he told Rocco, that they both have to find a way to move on with their lives. Jason tells Rocco its best for him to try to let this all go. Can Rocco? Can Jason?
BRITT IS A COMMON THREAD OF JASON AND ROCCO
Rocco becomes emotional when talking to Jason about going on the run with Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), and how scared he was for her due to her “illness” with symptoms of Huntington’s.
Later, Jason comes to General Hospital and runs right into Britt, who is all smiles when she lays eyes on Jason. However, with Jason seemingly looking for a fresh start and a new outlook, is there any future for Britt and Jason after all that has happened? Stay tuned for the Monday, July 27 episode for some answers/
Now below, and in case you missed it, check out the scenes between Jason and Rocco from today’s GH.
Then let us know, what did you think of the performances of Steve Burton and Finn Carr? Do you think Nina just made everything 10,000 times worse, and Drew will be swimming around in no time in the water revealing he is A-OK much to the chagrin of Willow and Nina? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
The Logan sisters are no more! After the Friday, July 24 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) has thrown Katie (Heather Tom) out of the family and is backed up by their sister, Donna (Jennifer Gareis).
Brooke throws down on Katie declaring, “We are no longer family! You declared war and this is the consequences!” Katie in tears stammers around the Forrester living room when Donna goes in on her too!
Donna tells Katie that her secrets and lies put her in the middle between her both her sisters and most of all, she messed with her marriage, adding, “You undermined our entire family, Katie!”

KATIE IS PILED UPON
Next, Katie makes a plea to Eric (John McCook) to tell everyone the truth, that he willingly came to work with her at Logan and promised to stand at the end of the runaway with her, hands raised in the air. Katie cries, “Tell them!” However, Eric walks away from her and tells Donna he wants to go upstairs and lay down after Will (Crew Morrow) punched Eric in the face with a fist that was meant for R.J (Brayan Nicoletti).
Ridge tells Katie her son, Will “is a punk.” Brooke goes in at Katie once again for how her lies and machinations tore the family apart. She ends with, “You’re not welcome here anymore. Get out of this house!”
Brooke tells Katie she chose to be a Spencer and unfortunately Hope made a choice, too. The whole family is fractured according to Brooke. Donna piles up on Katie saying this is the same feeling that they felt when their father abandoned them all those years ago. Katie cries and cannot believe how they are comparing the two situations.
Donna stands with Brooke as Katie in tears says, well, if they can’t love her, she will always love them. Brooke boots her out with “Goodbye Katie.” Outside, Katie completely breaks down.
It looks like Heather Tom, a Lead Actress Daytime Emmy nominee this year, will also have quite the submission for the same category in the competition in 2027, if you combine scenes from this episode with the knockdown war of words with Brooke a month ago. Could Heather win a record-setting 7th or 8th Emmy making her the most-winning actress in daytime history? We shall see.
So, do you think the Logan sisters went overboard by disowning Katie? Will Katie decide to just go make her business a success anyway, or end up kowtowing to Brooke and Donna? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
