Drew is stirring up trouble for everyone. Are the writers setting things up for a murder mystery? Is Brook Lynn’s reluctance to adopt going to send Chase into Willow’s arms? Now that Jason and Britt have locked eyes, will we get some answers or more questions. It’s an all-new General Hospital commentary for the week ending August 15, 2025.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Dearest readers, I am done with Drew. I was done with him even before he threatened to have his 15-year-old nephew arrested for putting his little sister on his bike and bringing her to the Quartermaine for a visit. Drew is despicable and irredeemable to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there was a General Hospital murder mystery, the suspect list of people who want Drew dead would be so long! Michael, Jason, Tracy, Alexis, Nina, Carly, Willow, Sonny, Portia, Trina, Curtis, Molly, Kristina, and even the kids, Danny, Wiley, and Scout might be on the suspect list if Drew ended up at the bottom of the Q staircase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew Cain must die — or be vanquished<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One viewer chastised me for saying this, thinking I was wishing ill will on Cameron Mathison. Not at all! I love Cameron Mathison; it\u2019s Dark Drew I hate! Keep Cameron on by all means, but make Dark Drew be Shiloh, and resurrect the real, kind, hero Drew. Explain that he is being held at the Five Poppies with Britt. Give Drew some reason for becoming so evil and redeem him, but he can\u2019t stay evil forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like with Peter August before him, the writers have allowed this to drag on too long. When Drew came to see Willow at the hospital this week, like Lucas I was furious with her when she gave Drew the time of day. Just say, \u201cNope!\u201d and keep walking. Do not engage. He broke up your marriage and he lied to you about multiple things for months. His lies and manipulations cost you your children. Be done with him Willow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Drew’s attempt to blackmail backfire on him?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was thrilled at the end of Friday\u2019s episode when ADA Turner was at Sonny\u2019s place having homemade pizza and personally witnessed Drew blackmailing Sonny with the, \u201cDo what I want, or Michael goes to prison\u201d bit. Of course, she can\u2019t testify on Sonny\u2019s behalf because she\u2019s hiding the fact that she is in his home to begin with. But now she will know who Drew really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timing — and pacing — is everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While I envy the people who write for General Hospital, I find myself getting frustrated with their pacing. The last four big returns — Jason, Lucky, Lulu, and now Britt — have had severe timing issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason came back from the dead, and it was forever until they gave him a scene with Sonny, Liz or Danny. Instead, he got drawn into some dumb plot with Jagger accusing Jason of shooting Dante and trying to murder Sonny. Not to mention having Sam, the former love of Jason’s life, treat him like a stranger instead of her long-lost soulmate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un-Lucky in love<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lucky\u2019s highly anticipated return fizzled out because Lucky spent a month in Sidwell\u2019s prison playing poker with the Dread Pirate Roberts\u2019 threat hanging over him, \u201cI\u2019ll most likely kill you in the morning.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It dragged on way to long before Lucky got home. We thought Lucky was coming back to save Lulu, but then Lucky wasn\u2019t a match. Extremely anti-climactic. Of course they used that as a way to kill off Sam, but that\u2019s a completely different rant. The Davis girls could really use Sam right now, if only she wasn\u2019t dead. After that, Lucky vanished and wasn\u2019t seen for weeks, and when he was, it was to mope around town not knowing what to do with himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From soulmates to strangers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lulu\u2019s return is also lackluster because she and Dante still have not reunited and are not even friends right now. When Alexis Haven came on, that \u201cLante\u201d reunion was the one thing we were anticipating an entire year ago in September of 2024! We are still waiting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, Britt is back, but rather than give us the exciting reunions we hoped for Britt seeing Jason, Dr. O, and her BFF Brad, they have Britt interacting with some snively little creep who is bossing her around at a 5-star resort where she\u2019s apparently a prisoner? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can the General Hospital writers continue to blow the good will and anticipation they have built up time and time again? Make a big soapy splash! And over the top dramatic! Make us cry! Make us feel <\/em>something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britt’s return needs big soapy moments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are any of you old enough to remember the Luke and Laura reunion of 1983? If not, here<\/a> is what I want. Watching this again made me cry again, decades later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nearest we have had to this sort of passion in years is Trina and Spencer, but we can\u2019t have nice things, so now we are stuck with Trina and traitor Kai. (Side note: Aunt Stella, I love you, but don\u2019t try to push your niece on this dude. Kai\u2019s boss Drew is the one who sent people to harass Aunt Stella over some \u201cfinancial fraud\u201d?<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I digress, I hope the writers speed up the Britt storyline before we are bored to death and no longer care why she\u2019s there, like \u201cHat Daddy\u201d Marshall before her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please make Britt\u2019s reunion with Jason and Dr O. a thing I will still remember and cry about 40 years from now. There are many things you are great at, but reunions is not one of them. Jason and Britt finally locked eyes today, but it appears that before a romantic reunion they will have to dodge bullets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. and Mrs. Nash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As to the other guests at Five Poppies, is it just me or was \u201cMrs. Nash\u201d looking a little jealous of \u201cMr. Nash\u201d flirting with Britt? I don\u2019t think that was part of the act. I think Joss has developed genuine feelings for Vaughn, which is a big spy no-no. Vaughn should be thankful Joss didn\u2019t leave when he ordered her to, or he\u2019d probably be dead by now. That is assuming that Joss shot the bad guy and not Vaughn with her wiggly aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am waiting for the day when Carly finds out that her baby is a spy and Jack Brennan recruited her and was sending her baby off to do dangerous things while he was romancing Carly. Laura Wright is going to eat those scenes up; I can feel it in my bones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secret Agent Emma<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I hope that Emma is also an agent. I don\u2019t even care if she\u2019s a double agent for the DVX like her grandma was years before. Maybe she\u2019s not worried about Professor Dalton\u2019s animal testing. Maybe she wants to take his findings to some evil Cassadine third cousin who wants to create people eating robot dinosaurs. Setting Joss and Emma up as rival spies could be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, Jack Brennan should focus on discovering that Colette is working with the enemy, whoever that may be. Colette\u2019s always been a little sketchy and has gone rogue a time or two, so it\u2019s odd that Brennan didn\u2019t notice. Or did he? Is he double crossing her, too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chip on Gio’s shoulder is dragging him down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also getting bored watching Emma\u2019s almost boyfriend Gio still not speaking to either of his parents. Nor is he interacting with any of the Q\u2019s or Cerullo\u2019s. Again, with the timing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We waited so long for the big payoff of Gio discovering that BLQ and Dante were his parents, but then — zilch. He\u2019s handing out towels by the pool at the Metro Court, and walking a bladder challenged Beagle, but is never given the opportunity to develop a relationship with anyone in his family. It’s so lame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giovanni Mazza gave us absolutely stellar scenes at the Nurses\u2019 Ball when Gio overheard the truth about his parents. We know that he has the acting chops to handle deep scenes and hold his own. He would be a powerhouse with Amanda Setton and Dominic Zamprogna. Let him! Let\u2019s open this door and get Gio completely infiltrated into the family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Weeping Willow set her sights on Chase?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hunky Chase wants his family to grow, but BLQ wants to make things right with Gio before she adopts a child. Chase is becoming discouraged and impatient even though logically he understands her reasons. How long will it be until Weepy Willow decides she made a mistake letting Chase go and breaks up another marriage to switch guys again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Hansis\u2019 Lucas was spectacular this week when he told Willow about herself. I loved that he reminded her of all the people who were putting themselves on the line to testify for her to get her kids back while she still makes terrible choices. And Lucas is invested because he loves Wiley as a son. Maybe someday Wiley will go to Brad to ask about his baby years, and everyone will freak out like they are doing to Rocco now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen tomorrow dear readers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Will Molly\u2019s cowboy romance novel get turned into a Hallmark movie starring Cameron Mathison and send Drew to Washington D.C. for a year? Will Scout ask Charlotte for advice on running away from your parents? Is Outback going to pee on Lulu\u2019s carpet? Will temp-Maxie ever discover her inner sassiness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the General Hospital writers ever plan to give Jordan a love interest to keep? Will Willow start timing her boo-hoo meltdowns to ensure she\u2019s on the park bench whenever nearly naked Chase is jogging? Will Brad be there to catch Lucas when Marco invariably teams up with baddie-daddy Jenz Sidwell? What will Sonny do next to impress ADA Turner? Will he take her dress shopping or gambling first when he whisks her off to his private island? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Liesl and Laura going to become Grandma coffee buddies? Will Donna start calling ADA Turner Auntie Justine? Will Wiley eat grape popsicles until his whole face is purple? Is Sonny\u2019s sauce on General Hospital better than Danny Romalotti\u2019s sauce on The Young and the Restless? Will Portia return the dress she only wore for 14 minutes and then balled up in the floor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you also check out Dan J Kroll\u2019s latest\u00a0Beyond the Gates<\/em>\u00a0commentary,\u00a0At the end of a fake ass rainbow<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only tomorrow knows dear readers and I will tune in tomorrow as long as there are tomorrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
