Family loyalties were tested when Ronnie kicked Tracy out of the mansion, Dante questioned Michael about Drew’s shooting, and Chase made it his mission to clear Willow’s name. Trouble is brewing, and it’s not just the tea that is dangerous. Buckle up for a new General Hospital<\/em> commentary for the week ending October 24, 2025.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Dearest readers, when Ronnie Bard told Cody Bell that she had always had weakness for cowboys, I smiled ear to ear and saw the entire Buchanan Clan in my brain. Asa, Clint, Beau \u2013 oh, what a sexy, soapy cowboy clan Erika Slezak\u2019s Victoria Lord once belonged to. That was a lovely wink from the General Hospital<\/em> writers to all the former One Life to Live fans throwing Cody and Ronnie together and letting us daydream about ghosts of cowboy\u2019s past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cowboys and Quartermaines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t tell you how happy I am that General Hospital<\/em> brought Ms. Slezak out of retirement and back home to ABC — and Port Charles. Watching Ronnie and Tracy, played by another formerly retired soap diva Jane Elliot, dance together is a thrilling sight. Two masters of the genre playing together delights this AARP-aged heart. Next up, let\u2019s get Robin Strasser to come and play, too. Last week I wrote a column<\/a> about how many General Hospital<\/em> actors are currently on The Young and the Restless<\/em>, but I maybe someday I will do another about how many One Life to Live<\/em> alumni are on General Hospital<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know my opinion means nothing, but I genuinely think that Ronnie is an innocent. I believe that she was shocked when the will revealed that Monica had left the house to her. I’m certain that she came to town exactly for the reason that she said she did; to pay respects to her sister and to try and learn about Monica’s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The true outlaws<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The change in the will has Drew Cain and Martin\u2019s fingerprints all over it. Maybe it\u2019s Martin’s way of getting even with Tracy for siccing his ex-wife on him. Maybe it\u2019s Drew’s way of teaching Tracy a lesson for kicking him out of the Q house or perhaps I am wrong and Ronnie is a con woman. But I hope not. I hope she is exactly what she seems, a lovely woman trying to pay respects to her sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved Ronnie\u2019s interactions with Gio, Brook Lynn, Michael and the rest of the family. She\u2019s the kind of person they need in their lives; a Lila-like character who listens and doesn\u2019t judge. Perhaps, eventually, Tracy and Ronnie can be friends? I\u2019m not holding my breath, but it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scallywag’s bad offer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Drew stopped by to try and pull Ronnie into his web of lies and offered to buy the Q house from her by trying to bond over the two of them being outsiders. She might have been falling for it until Danny came in with both guns blazing demanding that Drew get out of his house. I can hardly wait until Jason discovers that Drew is harassing Danny again. I really want Jason to pulverize Drew and drop him in the Pine Barrens like all the other people Jason and Sonny have made disappear over the years. There’s no pathway to redemption for Drew that I see. Why would Drew even want the Q house other than to stick it to Tracy and Michael?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It cracked me up that Tracy packed up all the Q valuables and has Lulu\u2019s house stacked with boxes. I truly don\u2019t think that Tracy drugged Ronnie. Her, \u201cWhere would I get the drugs?\u201d question rang true. I mean it\u2019s not like Tracy is out on the street buying drugs. I think instead it was Martin when he went over to introduce himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter, the truth will come out eventually. It always does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supermax Prisons and Bad Wigs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ask Carly. Jason caved and told his BFF Josslyn\u2019s deep dark secret about being in the WSB — as we knew he would. But what followed next was jaw dropping. Carly did NOT confront Joss, and she did NOT confront Jack. I was stunned! Instead, Carly bought herself an Elvira wig at Spirit Halloween and busted into a supermax prison posing as Valentin\u2019s lawyer. You know, the same high security prison that took special maneuvers from the WSB to get Charlotte in for a visit with her dad. (So sad he\u2019s no longer “Papa.”) I knew Spinelli was a hacker, but I didn\u2019t know he was a forger, too. How did he get Carly papers overnight that looked real enough to fool a supermax prison? Who cares?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am happy to suspend my disbelief for a plethora of reasons. For one, we get more Valentin scenes. I adore James Patrick Stuart, and I want him on my TV daily. Secondly, Carly and Valentin making peace and agreeing to work together. Thirdly, and don\u2019t hate me, but I can see that connection turning into something. If Valentin helps Carly take down Jack and he is ousted at the WSB, and a new WSB chief pardons Valentin of his crimes, that will bring Valentin home to Port Charles. Sure, Valentin still loves Anna, but if Anna\u2019s truly done with him, I wouldn\u2019t mind Valentin and Carly having a little celebratory fling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there’s Faison<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Also, while I know mentally that Faison\u2019s brain is in a jar, I can\u2019t help but think that he or his clone is going to show up in Port Charles. Even worse, his most hated offspring Peter August. Valentin has to be in town for that, doesn\u2019t he? I want Charlotte reunited with her dad. I want Sidwell out of Wyndemere and the Cassadines back in. Heck, bring Nikolas and Valentin home at the same time and let them duke it out over the house. Better yet, make Wyndemere like the Q house and have Nikolas, Ace, Alexis, Scout, Charlotte and Valentin all living in that creepy castle raising their kids together. I need more Cassadines on General Hospital<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a Family Like This…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have a question this week. What happened to family loyalty on General Hospital<\/em>? Dante accused Michael of framing Willow, all of the Q\u2019s have sided with Ronnie, while Tracy was kicked to the curb, Chase sided with Willow over Michael and the Q\u2019s, and Alexis and Kristina had Molly\u2019s dad chained up in the basement. The word of the week was treachery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heated fight between Dante and Michael was absolute fire. I cannot say enough times how happy I am that Chad Duell quit. No offense to him or his work on General Hospital<\/em> over the years, but Rory Gibson\u2019s dark and fiery version of Michael is the Michael we need right now. He reminds me of Tyler Christopher\u2019s brilliant portrayal of Nikolas Cassadine — tender and dark, romantic and lethal. Tyler contained multitudes and Rory does, too. Dominic Zamprogna\u2019s intense questioning of his brother led to Michael screaming in Dante\u2019s face, \u201cDo you think I would\u2019ve sent Sasha and Daisy away if I didn\u2019t think they were real danger?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael and General Hospital <\/em>viewers know the truth <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Michael knows in his gut that Willow was the one targeting Daisy, but he does not have proof. But we do, because we saw her do it. She 100% knows how to sneak into the Q house. And if Chase thinks really hard, he will remember that he saw her in the house, too. Chase\u2019s blind loyalty to Willow right now has me nervous. Are they going to break up Chase and BLQ? Willow cheated on Chase with Michael before, and he seems to have forgotten what a great liar she is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alibis and Accidental Attraction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But back to Michael. Jacinda is more loyal to Michael right now than his own brother is, but of course Michael is paying her. Michael made a Pretty Woman<\/em> proposition to Jacinda, and I thought, \u201cI wish Michael would pay me to fall in love with him.\u201d But then I remembered that I\u2019m a married Nana and not a hot 20-something escort, and my hopes were dashed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine if Jacinda and Michael actually fall for one another and then Daisy and Sasha come home. If Michael dumps Jacinda, she will have no incentive not to tell all of his secrets, but if he stays with her, he loses Sasha and his daughter. That would be soapalicious, no? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder what job Michael going to give Jacinda that pays under the table, has health insurance and isn\u2019t connected to ELQ or Michael? Maybe he will ask Lulu to reopen the Haunted Star<\/em> and make Jacinda a club owner. Maybe Michael will make Jason hire her to fix motorcycles at Brando\u2019s old garage. Perhaps Sonny will hire her to make spaghetti at a new restaurant, Mob Pasta. Maybe Carly will make Jacinda the towel girl at the never before seen but suddenly open Metro Court Steam Room. Did they build it on top of the pool for winter? I mean, we do need a place where people can be scantily clad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who shot Drew?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Readers, what do you think? Did Michael plant the gun at Liz\u2019s house? Possibly. Did he see Willow shoot Drew? Also, possibly. If he planted the gun because Willow did<\/em> the crime and she was trying to frame him, then I can\u2019t be that mad at him. Willow used to be such a sympathetic character, but not anymore. Now she\u2019s Undercover Nelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willow grows more like her evil sister daily. She knows that Drew planned to frame Michael and is fine with it. She knows that Drew told Wiley that his daddy didn\u2019t want him anymore. Willow knows Drew let her fly all the way to Germany and lied to keep her from seeing Michael and working things out. What on earth does she think she needs from Drew? Or is she playing him? I think she is manipulating him and using him to get what she wants, so I refer back to Nelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I don\u2019t think either Willow or Michael shot Drew. I think it was Sidwell or one of his flunkies because Drew had become a thorn in Sidwell\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Tell or Not to Tell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sidwell\u2019s employee Jordan accidentally stumbled on Portia\u2019s pregnancy secret. There are a lot of strong opinions on what Jordan should do. Some are in the \u201cMind your own business\u201d camp and others are in the \u201cCurtis deserves the truth\u201d camp. I lean towards the second one. If one of my friends was going to be a dad and didn\u2019t know it, I would totally tell them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The part that Jordan does not know is that Portia also slept with Isaiah, so the baby might not be Curtis’ child. Which frankly, I am not feeling that relationship at ALL. I was way more interested when Isaiah and Jordan went out for a minute, or when Jordan dated Portia\u2019s brother for another minute, but Portia and Isaiah don\u2019t really have a lot of chemistry in my humble opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Get So Emotional, Baby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know who does have chemistry? Nathan and\u2026 everyone on General Hospital<\/em>. I love Ryan Paevey and every one of Nathan\u2019s scenes have been deeply satisfying to me. I especially loved his scenes with Lulu on Friday when the two of them compared notes on being in a coma and waking up to find that your kids have grown up without you and the world you knew had changed. That made me tear up because I have not been in a coma and yet the world as I knew it is becoming less recognizable by the day. Nathan and Liesl. James and Nathan. Nathan and Dante. It\u2019s all so touching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was also moved by Spinelli seeking out Jason\u2019s advice on how to share parenting with Nathan. Spinelli loves James and he loves Maxie, but he knows there is a chance that he will lose them both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I full on cried during the Brook Lynn and Lois scenes at Sonny’s house. I\u2019m an only child who was very close to my late mom, so those mother\/daughter scenes always choke me up. I am glad that before Rena Sofer left the show, they let Lois and BLQ have a moment of reconciliation. Rena Sofer is moving to NYC and is leaving the show, but since Lois didn\u2019t die, I am sure she may be back someday.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, even if Lois had died, she might be back anyway, as we see with Britt and Nathan walking around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Will Ronnie curtsy for Cassadine royalty the way she did for Felicia? Will Brooklyn give up throwing tea parties since the last one went so terribly wrong? Is Ronnie going to hand out full size candy bars at the Q mansion for Halloween? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Michael make Jacinda the new Q mansion cook? Will Lois come back from Blaze\u2019s tour with Brenda to thank Sonny for accepting Lois apology? Is Chase going to get a lower back tattoo of Willow\u2019s name and drink her Dawn of Willow tea? (Credit to Liz Masters for that name!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Britt pay the bill that Anna drew up for all the money they wasted trying to solve Britt’s murder when Britt’s not dead? Is Mayor Collins going to work with ADA Turner to wreck Congressman Cutthroat\u2019s career as they both know that he is shady? Will Emma and Gio get in over their head with Dalton and need Student Agent Jax and Janitor Vaughn to save them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Chase and Michael going to have more shirtless arguments in the steam room? Will Danny and Rocco be the ones to outsmart Drew and bring him down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, will you please check out Dan J Kroll’s latest Beyond The Gates<\/em> commentary? This week’s column is called “Broken Hearts and Broken Penises<\/a><\/strong>.” I can’t wait<\/em> to see what that’s all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only tomorrow knows dear readers and I will tune in tomorrow as long as there are tomorrows. – Tamilu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
