The truth might set you free, but there are always consequences for actions. Good and bad. Willow put the brakes on Drew\u2019s plans. Is it the beginning of the end for them? Even though Cyrus confessed to his crimes, was justice served with his death? Let\u2019s discuss in this week\u2019s General Hospital commentary for the week ending February 21, 2025.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Folks, I watch soaps because I absolutely love twists and turns. My daughter accuses me of being \u201cextra.\u201d I walk to my own beat, like to zhuzh things up when I go out, and I’m a bit high-strung. Okay, a lot high-strung. I think that\u2019s why I love soaps. Soap characters tend to be extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the good comes the bad, especially on a soap like General Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True confessions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Confession is good for the soul, but that\u2019s not true when you have a dark and evil soul like Cyrus. All that poppycock spouted by Cyrus about releasing Lulu to God and easing the suffering of those poor souls at General Hospital and Turning Woods was nonsensical word salad. As I listened to Cyrus explain his reasons for killing Sam and Dex, I realized that we would never get a satisfactory answer. Cyrus had a twisted mind and a black soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyrus killed Sam because he\u2019s a killer and that\u2019s what killers do. All the excuses he made for what he did to the innocent people he murdered were empty words. Cyrus was diabolical and he saw himself not as a hand of God but as someone who was a god. Liz pointed out the fatal flaw in his logic. She reminded him that it had been God’s plan for Lulu to survive the transplant. He promptly dismissed it. In fact, Cyrus became downright combative at the suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serial killers keep mementos of their heinous crimes. People of God know better than to commit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital\u2019s swift hand of justice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It took months to get to the truth of Cyrus\u2019 crimes, but justice was served in a matter of hours. Was it the right call? One of my followers on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that it had been a missed opportunity for the writers to give us a murder mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s true that there wasn\u2019t a shortage of people who had threatened Cyrus and had motive to kill him. Jason and Dante being at the very top of that list. While I agree that it was a good set up for a whodunit, I wouldn\u2019t have wanted his killer to end up going to jail. Cyrus deserved to die, and no one should pay for that public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jail would have been too good for a man like Cyrus because he wasn’t capable of being rehabilitated. He never was. Keeping him alive might have possibly given him an opportunity to escape and free to wreak more havoc on the good people of Port Charles. Worse, the writers might have been tempted to go down the same ridiculous path that they did Heather Webber. No thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Kober will be dearly missed, but good riddance to Cyrus Renault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of Luck-y<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Viewers got quite a surprise at the start of the week when Guy Wilson temporarily stepped into the role of Lucky Spencer. Jonathan Jackson was back on our screens by the end of the week, but he missed all the action. Literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is with General Hospital sliding in temporary recasts for big scenes lately? They did it when Michael learned about Drew and Willow\u2019s kiss (Robert Adamson temporarily covered for Chad Duell), and now with Lucky and Liz\u2019s first kiss and the showdown with Cyrus. What a buzzkill. In both cases, I felt let down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couldn\u2019t they have waited for Jonathan to become available again for those scenes or written around Lucky? The kiss could have waited, in part because Liz was brutally raped in her teens following a Valentine\u2019s Day dance. Lucky was such a big part of her recovery from that awful assault. The kiss between Lucky and Liz would have been far more poignant if it had been between Becky Herbst and Jonathan Jackson. Nothing against Guy Wilson, but part of Lucky and Liz\u2019s magic is the history and chemistry that the actors share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note to Liz: Get a doorbell camera or a peephole so you can see who is on your doorstep before opening the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequences for General Hospital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I hope the hospital faces several lawsuits for the crimes that Cyrus committed while they conducted their own investigation without alerting the police. It\u2019s not like Cyrus was able to make himself invisible or find a secret passage into the hospital rooms of his victims. There are cameras all over that hospital, and they should have known within a matter of minutes that the killer was posing as a doctor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same goes for the Port Charles Police Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna doesn\u2019t get a free pass either<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know why the writers insist on making Anna look like the most incompetent person on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Cyrus pushed his way into Liz\u2019s home and attempted to kill both Liz and Lucky, he managed to escape. Where was Anna? Was she at the police station organizing and leading a search for him? Setting up a dragnet? Nope, she was at General Hospital sipping coffee with Jordan and questioning Liz. Couldn\u2019t Chase have done that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It galls me that Anna was able to arrest Jason and hold him for 24 hours, but she couldn\u2019t detain Cyrus while the evidence that Liz gave Anna was processed. Heck, Liz even advised Anna to contact the company that had sent the incriminating syringes and Digitalis to ask for their records. It was as if the idea hadn\u2019t even occurred to Anna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital\u2019s new man of the hour<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Josslyn had quite the week, and Jack Brennan played a pivotal role in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After shooting Cyrus dead, Josslyn called Jack. He convinced her to let him handle things and get rid of the body rather than call the police. Josslyn agreed to do things Jack\u2019s way because she was certain no one would believe that it was self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josslyn did break into Cyrus\u2019 secret hideout, but that didn\u2019t give Cyrus the right to attack her with an axe and chop her to bits. Additionally, Cyrus was a serial killer who was on the run from the law for trying to murder both Lucky and Liz. It would have been incredibly easy to convince any jury — if it even made it that far — of self-defense. Josslyn didn’t know that at the time, so I give her a free pass. She was traumatized and not thinking clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that those of us who suspected that Jack was considering recruiting Josslyn as a WSB agent were spot on. Jack quickly made Josslyn the offer, but she didn\u2019t readily accept. I have no doubt that Josslyn will. Truthfully, the idea of Josslyn working for the WSB makes much more sense than Josslyn joining the ranks at General Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A side of romance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Things are also heating up between Jack and Carly. I\u2019m not sure how I feel about that. The chemistry between Chris McKenna and Laura Wright is completely different than what I saw between Laura and Charles Mesure. It\u2019s not bad, but the sizzle factor is gone. Can it be recaptured? I\u2019m not sure, but I\u2019m willing to give Chris and Laura time to tap into that special mojo that makes a soap couple shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truth and<\/em> consequences<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about Drew and his devoted acolyte Willow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew and Willow are no longer hiding their tawdry relationship. Willow can\u2019t understand why people aren’t happy for them. They are in love. Meanwhile, Drew thinks people have no room to talk. Everyone is a sinner in Drew’s book. He likes to point out the hypocrisy of flawed people judging him and his ladylove. This of course is pure deflection to weasel out of being held accountable for their own rotten behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t disagree that all the Quartermaines have a history of adultery and poor choices. However, that doesn\u2019t mean that they can\u2019t be mad at both Drew and Willow for betraying Michael. The truth is, Drew and Willow did Michael dirty and there are consequences for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucas and Brad were right. Willow doesn\u2019t look happy. Drew is not her soulmate, and what they share is not the love of a lifetime. Willow doesn\u2019t even know the real Drew. The man who is happy to be in league with a man like Sidwell, and who slept with her mother — repeatedly — while wooing Willow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Quartermaine Bunch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m glad that Willow turned down Drew\u2019s invitation to move in with him, but I don\u2019t hold out much hope that she will stick to her guns for long. Drew easily manipulates her. I applaud Willow for finally putting her kids first, but I\u2019m stunned that she didn\u2019t point out to Drew that he bought the Dawn of Day house. Why would she ever want to live there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willow works at General Hospital, so she can easily afford a nice place for her and the kids. She needs to focus on her kids. She also needs to own her choices and face the consequences of her actions. I\u2019m starting to believe that she clings to her illusions about Drew because deep down inside she knows that he\u2019s not the prince she believed him to be. Rather than admit that she was wrong about everything, she lies to herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man of honor would never get involved with his nephew\u2019s wife. Nor would such a man want to set up house before his great-nephew was told about his parents\u2019 divorce and his father\u2019s grave injuries. It was so callous of Drew to suggest that the kids would be happy to live with him and Scout as a blended family. It shows that Drew really doesn\u2019t care about Wiley and Amelia — or even Scout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further proof that the man claiming to be Drew Quartermaine is a diabolical imposter. Someone like Shiloh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital\u2019s Cain and Morgan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jason despises the man that Drew has shown himself to be, but he still made an effort to make peace for the sake of the kids. It\u2019s the least that Danny and Scout deserve after losing their mother. Unfortunately for Scout, Drew is a jealous crybaby who is bitter that Jason is the family’s golden child. Drew spent a few years with Betsy Frank and then grew up in an orphanage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Drew engaged in a little revisionist history when he whined about how the Q\u2019s rejecting him. For starters, Jason and Monica reconciled years ago. Long before Drew ever came to town. Jason moved home, but he’s been a part of the family fold for over a decade now. Jason had nothing to do with what happened to Drew. That was all on Heather and Heather alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still don\u2019t get how Drew went from being the upstanding kindhearted man who selflessly put his loved ones ahead of himself to this detestable shell of a man today. I could never imagine Billy Miller\u2019s Drew saying the ridiculous things that Drew spewed to Jason in the Dawn of Day living room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all the sets, why did they stick Drew in that<\/em> one? Probably to mess with us. LOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chasing a dream<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chase was still reeling from being told that he was sterile when Brook Lynn was forced to drop another bombshell. I have no idea why no one has suggested that Chase get a second opinion from a fertility specialist, but that aside, I can appreciate why Chase is struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t blame Brook Lynn for admitting that she\u2019d been pregnant and had experienced the miracle of birth. Her heart was breaking for Chase because he was tortured by the idea that he might have robbed her of that experience. She had been wanting to tell Chase the truth about her baby for some time now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chase of course was magnificent and said all the right things, including asking if she wanted to find her child. However, the one thing he didn\u2019t ask was the name of the baby\u2019s father. I wonder if he will confide to Dante what Brook Lynn shared and if Dante will put the pieces together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, I see a confession in Lois\u2019 near future, and a family reunion between Brook Lynn, Gio, and Dante. I can’t imagine that Lulu is going to like that. She already feels like Brook Lynn had stepped into her life while Lulu was in a coma. In many ways, she has, but it was not deliberate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital quick takes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Becky Herbst is such a fantastic actress. Her scenes with Jeff Kober were incredible, and they both share performer of the week in my book. I hope it earns her a Daytime Emmy win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband — who is stuck watching General Hospital in the winter because I\u2019m in charge of the living room tv between 2:00pm and 3:00pm Monday thru Friday — had an observation about Deputy Mayor Jordan Ashford. He said, \u201cShe\u2019s the most competent law enforcement person in that town.\u201d He\u2019s right. Jordan gets more done with a phone call than Anna does with an entire police department at her disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curtis needs to sell the Savoy to N\u2019neka. It\u2019s time. He has his hands full with Aurora Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find that I like Emma a lot more when Gio is around to keep her in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a good non-soapy read, be sure to check out this week’s The 80s Countdown<\/a> by our very own Dan Kroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy viewing!
