In Monday’s gripping episode of General Hospital, tensions erupted across Port Charles as secrets tightened their grip, dangerous alliances deepened, and a congressman learned

the hard way that power does not grant immunity. With lives on the line and reputations crumbling, the residents of Port Charles found themselves pulled into a vortex of consequences—

and no one came out unscathed.

Dalton Crosses the Line — And Laura Fights Back

Congressman Dalton continued his downward spiral, exposing just how ruthless he could become when his ego was threatened. After Laura publicly embarrassed him—calling out his questionable decisions in front of half the town—Dalton retaliated with chilling cruelty. His fury found an outlet in Rocco, who had broken into the lab in a misguided attempt to uncover the truth. Yes, Rocco’s actions were reckless, but Dalton’s treatment of the young boy was shockingly harsh, crossing every moral boundary.

Laura, driven by fierce grandmotherly instinct, swooped in to shield Rocco from Dalton’s wrath. Her protective stance only enraged the congressman further, and soon their conflict escalated into a full-scale political war. Congress, power, and pride—Dalton used all three like weapons.

But Laura wasn’t afraid. And in this battle, she wasn’t alone.

Sidwell Makes a Deadly Choice

Sidwell, who had been desperately trying to keep Dalton under control, realized the congressman was becoming a liability. Rocco’s break-in had already drawn too much attention to Sidwell’s secretive medical project—one that could implode his career and land him behind bars if exposed.

The last thing Sidwell needed was police snooping around the lab.

So when Dalton ignored Sidwell’s warnings and kept provoking Laura—and the law—Sidwell was forced to make a chilling decision:
Dalton had to be eliminated.

Behind the scenes, GH confirmed that actor Daniel Goddard would be leaving the show next week. And now, it appears his exit won’t be quiet, peaceful, or voluntary. Fans should brace themselves for a shocking twist as Dalton’s storyline reaches its deadly conclusion. Who will pull the trigger—Sidwell, or someone entirely unexpected?

One thing’s certain: Dalton’s downfall will shake Port Charles to its core.

A New Mayor, A New Threat

Meanwhile, Laura received stunning news: Ezra Bole had been elected mayor of Port Charles.

What should have been a moment of democratic celebration quickly spiraled into dread. Ezra may appear polished and persuasive, but his connection to Sidwell casts a long shadow. With such a dangerous figure whispering in his ear, Ezra’s leadership threatens to send the city tumbling into corruption and chaos.

But Laura is not stepping aside. Determined to expose the flaws and secrets beneath Ezra’s carefully crafted public image, she commits herself to revealing the truth. Port Charles has survived mob wars, kidnappings, and medical conspiracies—but a corrupt mayor in Sidwell’s pocket may be one of the deadliest threats yet.

Britt and Rocco — A Confession That Changes Everything

At the hospital, Britt sits down with Rocco, hoping to understand what drove him to break into the lab. To her surprise, he opens up completely—confessing what he saw, what he feared, and why he felt he had no other choice.

Then, in a moment that leaves Britt shaken, Rocco urges her to walk away from Sidwell before it’s too late.

His warning plants a dangerous seed. Britt begins to question her involvement in Sidwell’s research and wonders if her own safety is at risk. If she follows the truth, she could become a hero—or Sidwell’s next target.

Portia Under Fire — And A Secret That Could Destroy Everything

Across town, Portia finds herself dragged into the PCPD for questioning about Drew’s shooting. The police need to know exactly where she was that night—and the truth is something she absolutely cannot tell.

Because if she admits she was with Isaiah, the fallout would be devastating. Curtis, and everyone else she loves, would question not only her loyalty but also the paternity of the baby she’s expecting.

Curtis is already suspicious. The investigation into Drew’s shooting may end up exposing a truth Portia has been fighting to hide. And once that truth is out, her entire family could collapse.

Drew Issues an Ultimatum — And Willow Declares War

At Crimson, tensions explode as Drew demands that Nina fire Jacinda immediately. But while Drew pushes for control on the professional front, Willow quietly begins plotting her own personal war.

Willow refuses to let Jacinda get anywhere near her son—and she’s not waiting for Drew’s plan to unfold. Instead, she decides to take matters into her own hands, determined to remove Jacinda from their lives for good.

Her transformation from gentle healer to fierce protector marks a pivotal moment, one that could shift her relationship with Michael permanently. And as Willow grows more ruthless, Michael might soon find himself facing an entirely new version of the woman he loves.

Ned’s Recovery — A Victory Wrapped in Worry

At the hospital, Ned’s surgery is declared a success—a rare bright moment amidst the chaos. But even good news comes with complications. His recovery will be long, difficult, and full of uncertainty.

Brook Lynn struggles to stay strong, but her anxiety is overwhelming. Fortunately, Chase steps in to comfort her, offering the stability she desperately needs. Their bond deepens as they navigate the emotional aftermath together.

Yet ironically, Chase’s continued closeness with Willow begins to eat away at Brook Lynn. Fear, jealousy, and insecurity creep in, threatening to crumble the relationship she cherishes most.

The question now is:
Can Brook Lynn and Chase survive the emotional storm heading their way?
Or will their bond buckle under pressure?
