Love. Death. Complicated family relationships. Evil twins. No, it’s not the subject matter of a new Taylor Swift album — it’s life in Port Charles. Check out this week’s diary of a soap fan: General Hospital<\/em> commentary for the week ending October 10, 2025.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Dear Readers, at one point in your life or another, you have probably been friends with someone you were totally crushing on but hesitated to tell them. Why? Because if they didn\u2019t share your affections, you took the risk of losing a precious connection. It\u2019s always such a fragile and vulnerable choice to admit that you want more.<\/em> That’s doubly true on General Hospital<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Romantics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Emma took the plunge this week and kissed Gio as I screamed, \u201cFinally!\u201d at my TV. They are adorable together. Braedyn Bruner and Giovanni Mazza have a lovely chemistry, and they could definitely be the Robin and Patrick of this generation. Two young, smart, driven people who fit perfectly together and are ridiculously gorgeous. And kudos to Outback whose adventure to the stables facilitated the kiss. A sweet storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Swiftie advice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

And as an unashamed Silver Swiftie, I think Taylor\u2019s advice is spot on, \u201cMy advice is always ruin the friendship, better that than regret it for all time.\u201d Emma let her emotions carry her into a kiss, and it turned out to be the right move, because Gio felt the same way. Imagine if neither of them told the other and then they woke up at 50 saying, \u201cShould\u2019ve kissed you anyway.\u201d The friendship was not ruined. Now it\u2019s a love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, this means Gio won\u2019t be moving in with Sonny, because as much as I love his dimpled grandpa, I anticipate more chaos coming Sonny\u2019s way. Sidwell has been way too quiet recently, but I don\u2019t think he has given up his desire to get rid of Sonny. Seriously, where is he? Sidwell has all but vanished \u2013 is he in cahoots with Faison or Professor Dalton or whichever bad guy is behind the Five Poppies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew you were trouble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, Britt is back, Nathan is back, and we still don\u2019t know how or why. Who knows, maybe someone took Faison\u2019s brain out of the jar and cloned him into an entirely new villain. I just want to know. November sweeps are coming, so maybe we will find out soon. It\u2019s odd to me that Britt is so fearful of Nathan going out into the world. What does she know about Nathan that he doesn\u2019t know about himself? All Nathan wants is to be a father to James, even though James\u2019s “Father Figure,” Spinelli is a bit broken-hearted about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved the sweet scenes where Nathan and Spinelli discussed what was best for James and how to move forward. They are both such beautiful and kind men, I think they could end up friends down the line. They both love James and they both love Maxie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital’s Ophelia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But Nathan\u2019s sister Britt is still being as cold as ice to Jason even though he clearly wants to save her from the “Fate of Ophelia” and bring love and respect into her life. He\u2019s the one lover she\u2019s ever had that can handle her as she is, wholly unfiltered and not run away. Jason knows her misdeeds and accepts her anyway. Every other love interest she\u2019s ever had on General Hospital<\/em> was bamboozled by Britt in some way. I understand that Jason hurt her when he chose to save Carly from federal charges, but he had to protect the family, especially after the fallout from Sonny\u2019s supposed death. It wasn\u2019t a rejection of the heart, even though it clearly felt that way to Britt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Jason\u2019s quest to thaw Britt\u2019s icy heart was diminished this week when his focus was split by the reading of Monica\u2019s will and the drama at the Q house. Enter the fabulous Erika Slezak as Veronica Bard, Monica\u2019s previously unknown sister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story of us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Readers, I went to college in the 80\u2019s and I took a class called \u201cModern Pop Culture.\u201d Part of my grade was dependent on this; there were so many soaps on the air back then that our professor told us to pick one network, watch all of their soaps and at the end of the semester we had to write a paper about why people watched them, what their value was, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I already watched General Hospital<\/em>, I chose ABC as my Network. I watched Ryan\u2019s Hope, All My Children, One Life to Live and obviously General Hospital<\/em>. This was a tough course. I mean I had to sit in the student center for 3.5 hours every day drinking .25 beers and asking other girls why they liked soaps and taking notes whenever a soap tackled a hot button issue of the time. Okay, it wasn\u2019t tough at all. It was awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Taylor-made job<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My parents said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you take something serious that will help you get a job?\u201d and year later, after I had been working for Dan for a decade, I pointed out to my mom that my soap opera college class was the ONLY class I took in college that directly lead to me getting a job. And we laughed and laughed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After watching approximately 420 hours of soaps that semester, I concluded that the overall lesson of daytime is that you have to make your own happiness, like “Opalite” makes glass and metal look like a precious gem. None of the characters who searched for happiness on any of the soaps found everlasting happiness with someone. They had to find their own way, and then occasionally, they stumbled on love along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-hero<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All this to give you background on my utter joy in seeing Erika Slezak\u2019s face on my TV again. She is an incredible actress, and I am beyond thrilled that she is on General Hospital<\/em>. Is it a short run or a long one? I don\u2019t know and I don\u2019t care. I will enjoy her every moment she is there. Having her and Jane Elliot in scenes together is like seeing two queens of neighboring countries come together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is \u201cRonnie\u201d a good girl or a bad girl? Time will unravel that mystery, but as of now, we only know that she is the younger sister of “Eldest Daughter” Monica Bard Quartermaine. Is it true that Monica was secretly writing to Ronnie all these months? How did the letters get to the mailbox since Monica was bedridden? Can Yuri confirm whether or not he was running letters to the mailman for Monica, or maybe one of the kids?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Does it not strike you as strange that Monica dug up Howard Wentworth, Edward\u2019s lawyer? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers, Edward Q died back in 2012. He was 84 and his lawyer was no spring chicken either. Is there any chance he would still be practicing law in 2025? It reminds me of the Gilmore Girls episode where Emily goes and digs up the repairman who first installed their intercom system because he\u2019s the only person she trusts but he\u2019s like 100. This plot point seems like a stretch to me. Instead, I think that Martin Gray did something to the will to get back at Tracy for causing him to pay alimony to all of his ex-wives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do I think that? How else would Martin have known that Drew wasn\u2019t in the will before the will was read? How would he have gotten his hands on that info? There is no way that Monica only left Tracy a jar of Pickle Lila relish. Although, it was a hilarious call back to General Hospital\u2019s<\/em> past plots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed the scenes with Jason, Ned, Olivia and Michael being cordial to Ronnie while Tracy\u2019s ears reddened and her head appeared as if it would explode Daffy Duck style. I am looking forward to more hijinks from these two living soap legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruel Summer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Across town, Joss tearfully tells Carly that Vaughn is secretly a WSB agent and was lying to her the whole time they were dating. Carly sweetly comforts Joss, but then it hits her that the revelation meant that Jack knew about Vaughn all along and kept it from her. I don\u2019t think she will be calling him “Honey” anytime soon. Jack reminded Carly that he told her from the get-go there were things that he couldn\u2019t tell her. Carly said back then she could handle it but is now questioning whether or not she can live with being in the dark about things that might concern her kids. Mark my words, the day that Carly discovers Joss is a WSB agent, Jack Brennan will be fully “CANCELLED.” I predict that will be the day that Carly runs back to Sonny for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No man has ever loved me like you do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I thought it was “Actually Romantic” when Michael went to see Willow to tell her that he wanted her to see the kids. The tender look in his eyes wrecked me. He\u2019s still so hurt that she doesn\u2019t love him anyone. Sure, he only offered her supervised visits, but at least he\u2019s willing to allow her back into Amelia and Wiley\u2019s lives. That\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I swear, Rory Gibson and Katelyn MacMullen have such sizzling chemistry together, I can hardly wait for the day Michael and Willow reunite. Sure, she is totally unstable, cultishly attached to Drew, and sneaking around doing awful things, but I think eventually she will be redeemed. I have not yet given up on the Drew-is-Shiloh daydream which could explain everything away. If she\u2019s under mind control, this all makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He loves me not, he loves me not <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Last week my fellow Scooper Liz said that there are two Drews in her mind and I agreed wholeheartedly. The \u201creal\u201d Drew, sweet Billy Miller, a heroic, kind, and admirable guy, and the evil Drew, Cameron Mathison\u2019s version who is just a total jerk and has nothing to offer Willow but “Wood.”<\/em> I cannot imagine why she would ever go back to him, and the writers cannot write anything that would make that believable to me. Unless she shot Drew and he knows it and is blackmailing her. But then she should be trying to undermine him at every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will never accept Willow and Drew as a couple. Drew paid off someone in Germany to keep Willow from visiting Michael and also told Wiley that his daddy didn\u2019t want him anymore. Two truly despicable acts that would break trust in any relationship. I can\u2019t fathom her reasons for going back to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bad sign is all good<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Willow seems to have the same problem that many in society do now, which is the lack of critical thinking skills. Her mouth keeps saying that she loves her kids more than anything, but her actions are continually opposite of that. But today, I can\u2019t decide. Did Willow actually shoot Drew, or did Michael plant Edward Quartermaine\u2019s gun at Elizabeth\u2019s house to frame her? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like the bond that is forming between Michael and his new Great Aunt Ronnie. Maybe when she kicks everyone out of her house (Monica gave it to her) she will let the relatives who are kind to her stay. I can\u2019t imagine an empty Q house again. It took us so long to refill it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blank Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sonny manipulated ADA Turner to meet with him under the guise of a meeting with Diane. Where is Carolyn Hennesy, anyway? I miss her face and her unbearably cute hairstyles. Diane is as unlucky in love as “Elizabeth Taylor.” It never seems her love affairs last forever.  I don\u2019t even know who Diane is dating these days since Robert left town with Holly and Max is nowhere to be found. I think after Carly dumps Jack, Diane might give him a whirl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers, do you have a General Hospital <\/em>“Wi$h Li$t?” On mine right now is Gio reuniting with Dante and Brook Lynn, Maxie waking up from her coma and seeing Nathan, Elizabeth getting a real love interest, Nikolas Cassadine being released from prison and coming home in any version I can get him, Valentin and Anna being reunited, seeing Carly explode at Jason, Joss, Britt and Jack when Joss\u2019 status as an agent is revealed, and Ric getting untied and allowed to pee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t blame me<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Police Commissioner Devane is up to her eyeballs in suspects for Drew\u2019s shooting. Everyone on her (almost) murder board has motive, means and opportunity. Many of the suspects have sketchy alibis. But after the search warrant debacle at the Q\u2019s house, Anna made sure her next search warrant was in order as she searched Elizabeth\u2019s house, specifically Willow\u2019s room. Anna walked about with something that was gun shaped, so we can assume Edward\u2019s gun was found. But why was it there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers, would Michael be so cold as to frame Willow for Drew\u2019s shooting? Willow did scare Daisy and Sasha out of town by terrorizing them, and Willow did say she didn\u2019t care if Drew framed Michael for a crime he didn\u2019t commit, so I can see why Michael would want to pay her back in kind, but the truth is, the gun might be there because Willow actually did it. Michael seemed so sincere when he offered her supervised visitation. Was he? Will he be shocked when he discovers Willow is in trouble? That\u2019s when we will know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, Anna has her work cut out for her on General Hospital<\/em>, with multiple cagey suspects to question, alibis to test, perjury charges to bring, and a compromised ADA who knows too much about to testify and more. But Anna Devane will soldier on, because she and her portrayer Finola Hughes know all about “The Life of a Showgirl.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen dear readers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Will Trina have a little brother or sister, or a little \u00bd brother or sister? Will the writers go super soapy and have Jordan and Curtis hook up and her get pregnant, too? Is Lucas ever going to call Brad and tell him about Britt so Brad can run Marco out of town? Will Josslyn and Vaughn be able to keep their distance from one another, or will they end up at the Five Poppies for a secret rendezvous? Is Jason going to once again tell Brennan to stop being a wuss? Will Anna and Dante have to make a second murder board when someone else eventually tries to shoot Drew?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you going to check out Dan J Kroll’s latest Beyond The Gates<\/em> commentary? This week’s column is called “Logic has left the building and feelings are running the show).”<\/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
