On the Wednesday, April 29, 2026, episode of General Hospital, Michael revealed his new plan to take down Willow.
What happened on General Hospital
Elizabeth overheard Isaiah discussing what happened to his vehicle, but he told her the same story he told Lucas about the parking garage. Willow showed up at the hospital, and Isaiah was elated to speak to her twice in the same day.
Elizabeth filled Willow in on Drew blinking for his life, and she was a bit taken aback that Nina never told her daughter about the breakthrough. She wondered what Drew could have been wanting help with, and Willow attributed it to his wish to resume his former life.
Willow claimed to be heartbroken about Drew’s fragile state. If only Elizabeth knew that not only did Willow fire a gun into his back, but she was actively keeping him in that locked-in state. Willow didn’t want to use an eye-tracking device because it could signal to Drew that he was incapable of recovering.
Elizabeth didn’t accept that explanation. She had no ulterior motives, and she just wanted to help Drew find his voice. It was becoming a red flag that Willow didn’t want the best for her husband.
A dangerous accusation
Curtis dropped by Laura’s office and filled her in about Jordan’s struggle with her potential disfigurement. He needed Laura’s help in figuring out how to proceed with the investigation to find the other driver. All signs pointed to Portia’s boyfriend, Isaiah, which was the most miserable option of all.
Laura hoped that Curtis wasn’t allowing his connection to Isaiah to cloud his judgment about the situation. There was no way for this to end well. Isaiah was going to be a part of Portia and Curtis’ baby’s life, so throwing his name out there could cause irreparable damage.
Jordan was technically at fault in the accident, so to some degree, this felt like a witch hunt. It’s possible that the other drive wasn’t even aware of what went down. Laura asked the obvious question and asked whether he believed the other driver was responsible for Jordan’s injuries. Curtis needed to tread carefully to avoid blowing up the ongoing peace with Portia.
The risk of attachment
Alexis spotted Brook Lynn and Phoebe in the park and introduced herself to the baby. It was obvious that Brook Lynn wanted to adopt this child. The pained look on Alexis’ face spoke volumes about her reading BLQ as a woman in denial.
Being put back into the system wouldn’t ever be in the child’s best interest. However, giving this child up might be precisely what needs to be done. Brook Lynn needed to accept the possibility that Phoebe wasn’t her future.
Alexis offered to help Brook Lynn and Chase in securing the child as their own. They wanted that specific baby. It had become more than just about adopting any child. Phoebe stole their hearts.
A ceasefire with strings
Jack stopped by Nina’s office for a scheduled meeting, and she asked what he wanted. He offered a ceasefire, hoping to reset their relationship. Blackmail isn’t the best way to maintain a good relationship, so Jack agreed to drop the pressure on Nina about Valentin.
Nina thought it was a gesture that came out of nowhere, and she wanted to know what the catch was. After all, nothing ever came without a price. He vowed to keep it buried, with no strings attached. Nina flashed back to her conversation with Valentin, where he asked her to feed Jack intel that would set him up for a big fall.
After Jack left, Jacinda noted that Charlotte had been rude to Jack and asked why. She was confident that Jack would never find her father. She was mere moments away from saying one comment too many and giving her what she needed for dirt on Willow.
Carly’s secret slips
Josslyn asked Lucas for an update about Cullum, and her constant involvement in his condition posed the question of why she was so invested. She played it off as if it were only out of concern about Jason. Lucas didn’t understand why Josslyn thought she’d be able to appeal to his better nature.
The subject turned to Josslyn’s contentious relationship with Carly, and Lucas hinted that there was something going on with her. He tried to back down and say he should’ve said anything, but Josslyn wanted all of the details. She needed to know how to stop her mother from being her own worst enemy.
Lucas blurted out that Carly was cheating on Jack, and Josslyn’s face dropped. Josslyn knew that it wasn’t Sonny, and right away her mind drifted to Valentin. Lucas begged his niece to keep quiet about what he said, and she immediately took off after hearing the news.
Later on, Jack returned to his hotel room, and Josslyn was sitting there. She informed Jack that he had already lost Carly. The relationship was over. Would she really tell Jack about Carly’s bedroom ballet with Valentin?
Cassius arrived at Lulu’s house, and he wanted her to do something about Rocco before he was in too much trouble. Rocco spilled everything to Britt, and of course, Lulu jumped to the wrong conclusion about her. She assumed that Britt would use it as leverage in some capacity, but Cassius defended his sister. She wasn’t the issue. Rocco’s inability to keep the secret was becoming a larger issue.
Rocco was filled with far too much guilt, and it was eating him alive. It was understandable, but he was making sloppy mistakes. Cassius suggested sending Rocco away, for his own good, so he wouldn’t let the truth slip to the wrong person.
This was the first big hiccup in Lulu and ‘Nathan’s’ relationship, but just as it got more heated, Isaiah showed up with the final round of antibiotics. All he knew was that Rocco hurt his hand, and he had no intentions of asking any further questions.

Carly walks a tightrope
Sparks continued to fly between Valentin and Carly, but Michael showed up, and they looked at each other like they might not have time to hide. Carly pushed Valentin out the door, and although she was always happy to see her son, this was a close call.
Michael filled his mother in about his moment of clarity regarding how to finally take down Willow. Chase was the key to causing Willow’s downfall. He had a blind spot when it came to her, and putting it all on the line for Willow pointed to an affair in the making. Michael wanted to ignite the spark that caused the chaos.
The affair would cause a massive scandal and potentially change public perception against her and even make the world believe that she shot Drew. Brook Lynn’s marriage would be a casualty, but Michael was willing to make the sacrifice.
Michael would’ve kept his mouth shut, but Carly still didn’t want him to know about Valentin being there. However, her latest concern was the potential for her attic boyfriend to kill Jack. Carly didn’t want Valentin to do anything insane because she could lose him in the same way that she lost Jason.
