Drew and Ava’s plan to frame Sonny worked like a charm but trouble brews for the deceitful duo because Sidwell spilled his secrets to Lulu, and Brennan’s body won’t stay buried forever. A General Hospital<\/em> commentary for the week ending October 09, 2026.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Holy moly! What a week for General Hospital<\/em> fans. Lulu did a hit piece on Willow, Chase showed his true colors, and Aunt Stella pegged Monet as a deceitful shrew. Before we delve into all of that, let’s talk about Port Charles’ resident Godfather. Sonny was framed for a crime he didn’t commit, and no one seems to believe him. Well, other than the few who know him best, including Carly and Jason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Enemy Number One<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For a soap fan, there’s nothing like the thrill of reading between the lines and accurately figuring out plot twists and turns. I love it. If you correctly guessed that Drew was behind the attack on Sidwell and Curtis, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. Extra pats if you figured out that it was ultimately Ava’s idea. I didn’t. Once again, I underestimated her. Shame on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Was Framed!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Let’s face it. Sonny only has himself to blame for his current situation. Well, sort of. He’s the boy who cried, “Wolf!” For years, whenever he was busted for a crime he committed, Sonny would insist that he was framed. Now, that he actually was<\/em> framed, no one believes him. It surprises me that it seems to surprise Sonny that people question his honesty and his claims that he’s retired. I almost<\/em> feel sorry for him, but he did bring a lot of this on himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not really a Sonny fan. I love Maurice Benard, but Sonny has done some truly terrible things over the years. I can absolutely understand why people like Tracy, Emma, and Trina wouldn’t believe Sonny, but not people like Dante and Gio. That made me sad. One of the things that I like about Sonny is his love for his family. It had to cut deep that neither his son nor his grandson believed that he had nothing to do with the attack on Sidwell and Curtis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Always Sonny in Port Charles<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As I said, Sonny has done heinous things, and there are legions of crimes that we could lay at his feet, including the cold-blooded execution of a federal agent. If Sonny goes down, I want it to be for something that he actually did rather than something that someone framed him for. I expected more from Dante than for him to look at the initial evidence and immediately deem Sonny guilty. There was no deep dive, no interrogation with Vito, no look at phone records, bank accounts — nothing. Dante is the acting police commissioner, and he wrapped up the case in an afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonny has reigned as the top Don of the Eastern Seaboard for as long as he has because he doesn’t make sloppy mistakes. Everything about what went down at Pentonville was messy, starting with Vito boldly showing and giving Sully the order and ending with Sully’s execution of the orders. That’s just not how Sonny has ever operated. He knows there are cameras and visitor logs there. He knew that if anything were to happen to Sidwell, he would be the first person the police would look at. That’s why he wanted Sidwell protected. Dante can have doubts, but he should also have questions. He doesn’t. Dante was equally quick to paint Michael guilty in Drew’s shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the viewers sensed that something was off. Shouldn’t Dante have too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gio Gets a Pass<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Gio hasn’t known Sonny as long as Dante has, so he gets a bit of a pass. But I don’t like that he lied to Sonny by claiming to believe his grandfather when he didn’t. Not cool. I hate the way Dante talked to his father, but at least he was honest. Do better Gio, you’re one of the good guys on this show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Gio’s reluctance to pile on Sonny, I do like the idea of Gio moving out and getting a place with Emma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those Who Know Sonny Best<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for Sonny, he does have a few supporters. Carly knows without a shadow of doubt that Sonny wasn’t behind the attack, as do Jason and Ric. Between the three of them, Sonny has people in his corner who will help him get to the bottom of things and keep him from spiraling. Alas, Justine has tapped out. She doesn’t believe Sonny’s assurances that he had nothing to do with Sully’s attack on Sidwell and Curtis. However, Justine has reached out to Anna for help figuring out what really happened. Anna is also someone who knows Sonny, so she just might be his saving grace — and her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wild Card<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Drew better be careful though because Ava is the weak link. She has a temper and likes to run her mouth. She’s even more dangerous if she feels cornered. Ava won’t hesitate to toss Drew under the bus to save herself. The money trail from Vito leads to Drew, not Ava. All it would take to bring down Drew is a little finger-pointing from Ava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motion Denied!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital<\/em> finally gave us what we’ve been eagerly anticipating for months now. The truth about Willow’s crimes came out when a high-as-a-kite Sidwell confessed to helping Willow drug Drew and keeping him trapped in a locked-in state for months. Later, both Lucas and Elizabeth spilled some tea about Willow taking charge of Drew’s care, but with the focus on making Drew comfortable — not helping him to improve. After a talk with Drew, and a little more sleuthing, Lulu had enough dirt to publish an article in the Invader<\/em>. I was stoked to see the viper finally get what she deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Case of the Deadly Killow<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At the police station, Justine talked to Dante about the allegations made in Lulu’s article. I had the biggest grin on my face watching that scene because I’ve been waiting for what seemed like an eternity<\/em> for Willow to pay for her many crimes. The truth is out there. Kai and Trina know about Willow’s attempt to kill Drew, and, long ago, Michael begged Dante to investigate Willow for playing sick games with Daisy. Plus, Anna confirmed to Justine that the WSB does have exactly the type of drug that could induce a stroke and locked-in syndrome… drugs that Sidwell had access to through Cullum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s when the writers threw us a curve ball in the form of Sidwell — and Britt. With a little nudging from Britt, Sidwell appears to be on the verge of retracting his statements to Lulu and blaming everything he said on the drugs he’d been given for his pain. That means everything will hinge on what Drew does. Will Drew confirm that Willow had confessed to him and drugged him for months? That ninny-head Nina offered her wicked daughter an assist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It certainly would be beneficial to Drew to dethrone Willow and get his congressional seat back before Brennan’s body is inevitably unearthed, especially now that he framed Sonny for an attack that is being investigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Village Idiot Enters the Chat<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At the gatehouse, Willow was in a panic until Britt showed up to offer her cousin some support. Fool. Willow would never show Britt the same loyalty. A short time later, Chase arrived ready to ride into battle for poor unfortunate Willow. I cracked up when Chase suggested that Willow sue Lulu and the Quartermaines for libel. It’s the idiot’s contention that the Qs planted the story, even though Jenz Sidwell is quoted in the article as the source for the allegations against Willow. It’s absolutely nonsensical, but the moron is ready to defend Willow against the Quartermaines. Naturally, a lawsuit is the very last<\/em> thing that Willow wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chase keeps saying that he wants to keep things civil with Brook Lynn for Phoebe’s sake, but he’s always the one escalating things between him and his wife. He got a lawyer the first chance he got. Then there was the mental gymnastics exercise he used to turn down Brook Lynn’s offer to get a place of their own and work on their marriage. He accused Brook Lynn of trying to set him up by moving in with him only to turn around and move out with Phoebe. How would he be abandoning their daughter if Brook Lynn was the one who took their daughter and left?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Truth Hurts<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I can’t wait for Chase to learn the truth, but not before he loses both his marriage and custody of Phoebe. Chase has been such an ass defending Willow that I have no pity for him. He deserves every bit of misery headed his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, Brother<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital <\/em>also has its very own twist on the East of Eden<\/em> story in the form of Rocco and Danny. The relationship between the two teen boys has been strained for quite some time now. It seems events keep pulling the boys apart and each time it’s Rocco who is on the receiving end of Danny’s wrath. Danny resented that Rocco didn’t speak up and clear Jason’s name when Jason was arrested for shooting Cullum — even though it was Jason’s choice to take the fall. Now, their beef is about Charlotte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blame Game<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Danny blames Rocco for Charlotte being shipped off to boarding school. Danny fails to see that it was a pattern of bad behavior — much of which he engaged in with Charlotte — that led to the decision. It’s easier for Danny to make it all about Rocco because Danny has seldom been held accountable for his own actions and bad choices. Yeah, Jason is finally setting some boundaries and Tracy is backing Jason up, but Danny has been running wild for several years now. Even before Sam died. Remember when he was sneaking out and smoking pot?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rocco is a good kid. He does get into trouble, but he doesn’t go chasing it like Danny does. Rocco just has some seriously bad luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cain and Abel <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, I haven’t seen any sign of Danny and Rocco’s brotherly bond for a long time now. They aren’t even friends. I simply don’t know why any parent would want to encourage this kind of toxic relationship. Sam and Dante were together and raised the kids as siblings for a few years not the majority of their lives. They started dating in 2021 and Sam died in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think both Danny and Rocco would be better off with some distance between them. They each need to figure out the direction of their life and do a little growing. How do you have a brotherly relationship if you can’t stand to be in the same room with each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romancing the Stone Cold<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s talk about Jason and Serena. This week, Serena found herself hanging upside down from a window and needing Jason’s assistance to get down. It was obvious the scene was an effort on the General Hospital <\/em>writers’ part to ignite some sparks between Jason and Serena. I saw none. Not even a flicker. Not between the actors or<\/em> the characters. In fact, I saw oodles more sparks between Serena and Brennan in the few seconds they shared a scene (she tripped and fell into his lap at Metro Court’s pool) than I did between Jason and Serena throughout the Tuesday, October 6, episode. Is this what the writers broke JaBritt (Jason and Britt) up for? No thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemistry isn’t something that you can force or fake. It’s either there or it isn’t. I’ve even seen actors who have reportedly despised each other share oodles of chemistry on screen. This isn’t on Steve Burton or Kelly Kruger. They simply have different energy. Their characters reflect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposites Don’t Always Attract<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The problem with Jason and Serena is that they are just too different. Their personalities don’t mesh nor do they complement each other. Serena has been written to be Lucy 2.0, with a conscience. I don’t think she’s a bad person, but she makes bad decisions and seems only slightly less flighty and materialistic than Lucy. Serena is in the stage of her life where if she finds the right person, she will want to settle down and start a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason, due to his traumatic brain injury and career as a hitman, is a very serious person. He’s at the point in life where he’s entering retirement and preparing for an empty nest soon. His son is just a year or two away from adulthood and spreading his own wings. Jason’s other son, Jake, is already a young man and finding his path in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Good Time to Revisit The Past<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea why the powers that be at General Hospital<\/em> are so opposed to exploring a relationship between Jason and Liz. They barely even let them share a scene. Is it because the chemistry between Becky Herbst and Steve is undeniable? I don’t get it. Liason (Liz and Jason) have a fanbase who have been waiting for years for the writers to give them their second chance. Heck, at the prospect of Jason and Serena, viewers who hated Liason admitted that they would rather see Jason and Liz spark up a romance before watching Jason and Serena hook up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anyone can set Danny straight, it’s Liz. She’s raised three wonderful boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trouble with Anna<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Finally, this week all but confirmed that the writers intend to throw Valentin and Anna together. Anna is struggling, and Carly is showing some real personal growth by encouraging Anna to accept Valentin’s help. Carly knows that Valentin and Anna have history, but she firmly believes that Anna and Valentin share the same kind of friendship that Carly has with Jason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a shame that it’s going to end up blowing up in Carly’s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soaps Are Gonna Soap<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I want to believe that Valentin wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize his relationship with Carly, which is actually one of the best relationships onscreen right now. But that wouldn’t be very sudsy of him. Nope, in all likelihood, sparks will fly as Anna opens up to Valentin, and temptation will get the best of Valentin and Anna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know there are some who hope that Jason and Carly might end up together if Valentin strays, but I don’t. Their friendship is one of the most enduring things on this show, and I like that we have an example of a man and woman being the best of friends. I know what that’s like because Dan J Kroll has been my dearest friend for nearly three decades, and we have the kind of friendship where we can say whatever is on our minds without fear of judgment. We support each other unconditionally and will always be there for each other. I feel blessed to have him in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it’s healthy for a soap to show some good friendships when there’s so much toxicity in most of the other relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Port Charles Potpourri<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some quick thoughts about other things going on in and around Port Charles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Teen Scene<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Did anyone else catch what Sonny told Carly during their talk on Thursday, October 8? Sonny was filling Carly in about Ava’s attempt to keep Avery away from Sonny. Carly told him that Ava never misses a trick, to which Sonny agreed. That’s when he said, “I’m not going to push that because Avery is a teenager<\/em>…” That’s news to me. Anyone else? It makes sense though because Scout was recently aged up and we all know that Avery is older than Scout. [EDITOR’S NOTE: Avery was born on-screen in early November 2014, but it was still Halloween on the show.]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Party at Voloninos<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Typical Dante. He rants at Sonny, tells him that he’s done with his father, and the next day shows up at his father’s gym with Rocco in tow. This is why it’s hard to take Dante seriously at times. I did find it hilarious though how Brook Lynn stormed in wearing her tennis outfit ready to slide on some gloves and hit the punching bag. Alexis and Molly were there too. Was the yoga place closed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dumb Things People Say<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I swear, soap people say the silliest things sometimes. Example: Justine admitted that she didn’t believe Sonny. He insisted that he was framed, so she argued that it was something a liar would say. True, but so would a person who was framed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Ties<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I find it incredibly strange that Curtis and Jordan have known each other for decades, were married and are now on their third round of romance, but Curtis had no idea that Jordan had a half-sister named Monet. How is that even possible?! Luckily, Stella seemed to have Monet’s number, and things got a little tense between the two. Stella was on a roll because earlier at the hospital, while talking to Jordan, Isaiah walked up. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the stink eye she flashed in his direction a few times. Go Aunt Stella!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brace Yourselves<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

During the October 6 episode, Felicia told Anna about Robert’s plan to visit Port Charles by the end of the year to tie things up because he and Holly intend to take up permanent residence in France. Of course, we all know that is never going to happen because our beloved Tristan Rogers passed away in 2025. Instead, we will soon be getting an episode where General Hospital <\/em>says goodbye to Tristan and his heroic alter-ego, Robert Scorpio. This is going to be hard. So hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What General Hospital<\/em> Viewers Are Saying<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We love reading what other fans have to say about the show, so please scroll down to the Comments section and share your thoughts. It\u2019s at the bottom of this (and every) column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Good, The Bad, and The In-Between<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Ya know, Danny probably doesn\u2019t realize how lucky he is to have Tracy on his side. I adore Tracy. — Missez Premise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Danny has his driver’s license, why doesn\u2019t he have his own expensive car like all the other rich kids in PC instead of having to \u201dborrow\u201d cars? If Danny doesn\u2019t have his license he should have been issued a summons for driving without a license. Surely, the self-righteous Chase would have arrested Danny like he arrested Tracy. Maybe if Danny had borrowed Willows\u2019 car\u2026 — JDF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, Joss pointing out that Michael was sounding\/behaving like Drew in trying to puppet-string the demise of someone else\u2019s family was the only good point she\u2019s made in approximately forever. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I think Chase is an idiot and I also think Brooklyn should be suing Jordan and Curtis for running her off the road instead of apologizing, but I am supremely irked that all they are giving Rory to play as Michael is reacting to other people\u2019s mess. The actor and the character deserve so much more! — CeeGee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan and Curtis are once again on the wrong side<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
