Will Judge Heran&#8217;s death pave the way for Willow to get the kids back? Let&#8217;s discuss that and much more in a new General Hospital commentary for the week ending August 29, 2025.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear readers, I have been begging for someone in Port Charles to be tied up and gagged, but it wasn\u2019t Ric. When I saw Ric getting the treatment that Drew so richly deserves, I was peeved. I was screaming at my TV, \u201cIf you kill Ric and not Drew, I am DONE with you!\u201d But who am I kidding? I&#8217;m never done with <em>General Hospital<\/em>. I&#8217; &#8216;ve been watching for 40 years through magnificent plots and\u2026nonsense like Casey the Alien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0505e0338798fd7c696ea2f90f2895bf\" id=\"h-the-most-hated-man-on-general-hospital\" style=\"color:#aa4411\">The most hated man on <em>General Hospital<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a little frustrating when the fans universally hate a character so much, but the writers continue to destroy them until it drives half of their audience away. We used to love Drew. He was a good guy. A hero. A military veteran. Now he\u2019s the vilest person in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Drew and Alexis sat down to discuss Scout, I did not anticipate that Drew would issue restraining orders against all of Scout\u2019s relatives to alienate her from everyone who loves her. How can he not look at Scout\u2019s life and see how wrong that is? Sam raised Scout, and her aunts and Grandma were a big part of her life. Drew wasn\u2019t. Some of that wasn\u2019t his fault of course, but ever since he\u2019s been back in town, she hasn\u2019t really been his priority.&nbsp;&nbsp;He\u2019s doing things that are cruel and controlling. Drew is just cruel now for the sake of being cruel. Power has gone to his head, and he is mad with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-root-of-drew-s-evil\">The root of Drew&#8217;s evil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I kept believing that some crazy soap explanation was coming. Perhaps Drew was someone evil in disguise like Shiloh. That would explain his twisted obsession with Willow. Or maybe Helena is still alive and had Drew under mind control and was forcing him to do bad things. Perhaps Drew was switched out in prison with someone else, like maybe Jason and Drew had a triplet. Right? Shouldn\u2019t we know how the formerly nice guy Drew turned into a monster?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But dear readers, I have given up thinking there is a reason. It seems our <em>General Hospital<\/em> writers just decided to make Drew a villain and will never explain themselves. Maybe we are forever stuck watching him torment the good people of Port Charles. Or maybe not. Multiple people have threatened to kill him this week, and I hope one of them makes good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6658b2a33a7c7030cfaa4796e10eef35\" id=\"h-bound-and-gagged\" style=\"color:#aa4411\">Bound and gagged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s Ric who got tied up. Sure, he angered the wrong bad bitches, but he\u2019s not on par with the evil Congressman Cutthroat. If anyone on the canvas needed to be chained in a basement, it is Drew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the writers have their reasons. Maybe this incident with Ric might be the catalyst they are using to reunite Liz and Ric. I know a lot of you have strong opinions about that, both positive and negative. Frankly, I could go either way. I thought Ava and Ric could have been dynamite together and fun to watch, but now that Ava clocked him in the head with a paperweight and chained him up, I don\u2019t see a reconciliation coming. And I do think Liz brings out the best version of Ric, but how long can he keep it up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ric-s-vanishing-act\">Ric&#8217;s vanishing act<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Lucas let Liz know that Ava and Ric are through, I think Liz will be suspicious when Ric doesn\u2019t come sniffing around her and possibly go looking for him. If she found him chained up, would she take pity on him and cut him loose? Since Lucky confided in Liz about Kristina cutting the brake lines on Ric\u2019s car, she might possibly side with Ric at first. But if Liz discovers that Ric parlayed his near death into 10 million dollars by blackmailing Alexis to embezzle from the Cassadines, she\u2019d be done with him. Again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, Liz is under the impression that Ric is working for Willow pro-bono, when in fact he\u2019s being paid by Nina. Ric has several secrets he is keeping from Liz, so I think their long-term romance potential is pretty low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-58b0a01e400b58385405a4dc8efc29c1\" id=\"h-general-hospital-s-bad-romance\" style=\"color:#aa4411\"><em>General Hospital&#8217;s <\/em>bad romance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of low, Willow\u2019s self-esteem\u2026 \u201cI\u2019ll come back to you if you get my kids back,\u201d Willow promised Drew. So, she is willing to go back to a cheater who slept with her mother and kept it from her, kept her from seeing Michael in Germany, told Wiley his daddy didn\u2019t want him anymore and a host of other sins. And she is willing to take him back? Girl, get some counseling, I beg you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liz tried to reason with Willow and remind her how Drew has ruined Willow&#8217;s life, but Willow has been sucked into his vortex again. When Willow told Liz that Drew keeping her from Michael in Germany was a good thing I gagged on my decaf coffee. \u201cIt means he\u2019s POWERFUL.\u201d No, it doesn\u2019t, you crazy whack job. Willow is out of touch with reality. I am sad that Chase vouched for her, because that will make him look crazy, too, when he tries to adopt a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-poor-choices-poor-mother\">Poor choices, poor mother<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Willow taking Drew back does not make her a good mother. She thinks it proves that she is willing to do anything for her kids. Instead, it makes her unstable. Michael is totally right about Willow; she is not steady enough to care for her kids in a rational manner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katelyn MacMullen is doing a wonderful job portraying a woman on the edge. Willow&#8217;s desperation shows through in every scene, every glance, with darting eyes, quivering lips and shaky hands, the once confident Willow is like a bad clone of herself that got all the neurosis and none of the charm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being with someone as manipulative and selfish as Drew changed Willow but not for the better. I thought she finally saw it, and I was so delighted, but the minute Drew swooped into General Hospital making promises, she believed him all over again despite the fact that he had promised her those things before and failed miserably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chase talked to the judge during Friday&#8217;s episode, and I fear he may have gotten himself into something he didn\u2019t intend. The judge who took the bribe (from Sidwell) thought Chase was snooping into her, when in fact it was just Chase tying to play hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-41b181596d67dedb15c6f51be06d1bb6\" id=\"h-portia-makes-a-bad-situation-worse\" style=\"color:#aa4411\">Portia makes a bad situation worse <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the people in Port Charles ever learn any lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portia lied to Curtis repeatedly and dragged Curtis, Trina and now poor Aunt Stella into her mess with Drew and she has the audacity to act all hurt and jealous over Curtis calling Jordan to try and help Aunt Stella. \u201cIf you walk out of this office right now, then our marriage is over!\u201d Portia warned Curtis. Um, okay Drama Queen. Did you expect Curtis to let his 75-year-old Auntie rot in jail to appease your insecurities? It sure didn\u2019t take Portia long to turn to Isaiah for\u2026<em>comfort<\/em>. Curtis\u2019 warm fingerprints were still lingering on the doorknob when Jordan threw herself at Isaiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While all of this nonsense is going on in General Hospital, real people are in real medical crisis. Like Maxie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e5f6a05d49d43cf97ec4848051e76622\" id=\"h-goodbye-for-now\" style=\"color:#aa4411\">Goodbye, for now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to an evil deed by Sidwell, Maxie is in a coma and being sent to Massachusetts for treatment. But instead of standing by her good friend\u2019s family as she is wheeled out of General Hospital, the Co-Chief of Staff is having a nooner with Isaiah up against her office wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goodbye scenes with Maxie and her loved ones did me in. Bradford Anderson as the heartbroken Damien Spinelli made me wish they would write more tender scenes for him to play because he is absolutely brilliant at emoting. Oh sure, he\u2019s great comic relief and a fun character. But just like Liesl Obrecht, some of our quirkiest characters are also extremely skilled in dramatic scenes. I hope Bradford submits those scenes for Emmy consideration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another standout performer this week was Kristina Wagner. When she referenced Maxie and BJ\u2019s transplanted heart I was already crying. No soap plot in history ever destroyed me like that one did. I am already anxious for Kirsten Storms\u2019 return. It will be epic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5459fe3f8ee220b3f64c42000a164c39\" id=\"h-torn-between-two-lovers\" style=\"color:#aa4411\">Torn between two lovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know that Ryan Paevey is back on <em>General Hospital <\/em>and Nathan West might be alive and somewhere out there, I wonder when we will see him. It seems odd that they would bring him back just as Maxie was leaving, unless they plan to drag this story out until January, which is highly possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be a powerful storyline if Nathan comes home, gets to know James and Maxie wakes up and thinks she is dreaming when she sees her two boys together. But what about poor Spinelli? He loved Maxie before she knew Nathan existed. I\u2019d hate to see him left high and dry. We need a new love interest for him. Someone unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-550465a8c842af97ffc8d6eade2cc766\" id=\"h-an-unexpected-silver-lining\" style=\"color:#aa4411\">An unexpected silver lining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I also appreciated the scenes with Brook Lynn and Lulu, two arch enemies who decided to make peace to be united for Maxie and her family. How long will their truce last? I don\u2019t know, but when I saw their two hands and Maxie\u2019s hand all touching in a friendly pile, I teared up a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-another-good-soapy-moment\">Another good soapy moment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In another tear-jerking storyline, Gio celebrated his deceased mother\u2019s birthday by lighting a candle for her. Both Brook Lynn then Dante stopped to share memories of Camilla with Gio. It gives me hope that this storyline is finally taking a step forward and that eventually Gio and his birth parents will work things out. Giovanni Mazza has turned in stellar work, as has Amanda Setton and Dominic Zamprogna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the three of them finally forgive and accept one another, it\u2019s going to be a happy holiday season at the Q house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-35ea7c61ec036c0af665204b8311f3eb\" id=\"h-general-hospital-s-friday-cliffhanger-nbsp\" style=\"color:#aa4411\"><em>General Hospital&#8217;s<\/em> Friday cliffhanger&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears that Judge Heran has met with an unexpected end, as the body Danny and Rocco found floating in the harbor had the same top as the judge. So, definitely either Sidwell or Marco offed her in the hopes of still being able to frame Sonny for the bribe in the custody hearing. But will Sonny&#8217;s new pasta pal ADA Turner believe that Sonny did this, or will she help him clear his name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-47ed8521113a3ae80bc22fba3104bb01\" id=\"h-what-will-happen-tomorrow-dear-readers\" style=\"color:#aa4411\">What will happen tomorrow dear readers? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Nathan ask Maxie for his badge back when he visits her? Are Lulu and BLQ destined to become besties? Will Molly rewrite her cowboy romance and add a trollop named Ava into the story? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Britt going to use that secret burner bat phone Jason gave her? Will anyone ask Gio what his favorite pizza is before Thanksgiving? Are Rocco and Danny going to tell anyone that they found a body in the water? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will viewers forgive Kai and let him have Trina back now that he knows&nbsp;Drew is evil? Will Outback sniff out the truth about Sidwell and Professor Dalton? Are the soap gods going to let one of the women in Port Charles whack Drew? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will WSB chief Jack realize his second in command Collette is a double agent? Will anyone suggest that the WSB offices use security cameras in Jack\u2019s office like most everyone does these days? How long will Cody talk about what a loser he is when everyone in town thinks he is a wonderful guy? Will Ric turn Kristina in as soon as he is released?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will you also check out Dan J Kroll\u2019s latest&nbsp;<em>Beyond the Gates<\/em>&nbsp;commentary,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/my-view-from-beyond-the-gates-the-person-i-thought-you-were\/\">The person I thought you were<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only tomorrow knows dear readers and I will tune in tomorrow as long as there are tomorrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tamilu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This column has been edited since its original posting to note that it was Lucas, not Isaiah, who told Liz that Ric and Ava broke up<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ric is tied up in Alexis&#8217; basement, but is Drew in the most danger as he racks up enemies with betrayals, threats and revenge plots?
