The drama in General Hospital reaches a fever pitch this Monday, October 13, 2025, as Port Charles becomes the epicenter of betrayal, deceit, and long-buried secrets clawing their way to the surface.

What begins with one explosive headline soon spirals into chaos, igniting a chain of events that no one—least of all the Corinthos family—can control. It all starts with Lulu Spencer’s fateful decision

to publish a story that never should’ve seen the light of day. Her bold headline—“Michael Corinthos Named in Drew Kane Shooting Investigation”—sends shockwaves through the city.

The article, designed to cement Lulu’s reputation as a fearless journalist, instead detonates like a bomb, tearing through families, friendships, and reputations.

Inside the Corinthos mansion, Sonny Corinthos’s fury burns hotter than ever. The ink on Lulu’s story has barely dried when Sonny storms into her office, his voice low and controlled—but dangerous. “What do you get out of destroying my son’s life?” he demands. Lulu insists she was just doing her job, that the public deserves to know the truth. But Sonny doesn’t see a reporter. He sees betrayal—and in Port Charles, betrayal always has consequences.

Meanwhile, Michael Corinthos finds himself caught in a web of suspicion. The whispers around town grow louder—did he really shoot Drew Kane? Though he denies it, the circumstantial evidence is damning. Every phone call and every glance feels like an accusation. Michael’s once loyal allies begin to doubt him, and for the first time, he realizes that perception might ruin him faster than the truth ever could. But a darker question lingers—what if Michael really did it?

Sonny’s instincts tell him something deeper is at play. Whether Michael is covering for someone or being set up, Sonny vows to uncover the truth. But his search for answers only leads to more confusion, as new evidence emerges that points in shocking directions.

Across town, Anna Devane and Dante Falconeri make a chilling discovery. Security footage from Nina Reeves’s office the night of the shooting doesn’t add up. Nina claims she was with Willow Tate the entire night, but the cameras tell a different story—Nina appears alone, restless, and oddly aware of the surveillance. Dante’s gut tells him she’s lying. “She’s covering for Willow,” he says flatly.

The deeper they dig, the more sinister the picture becomes. Willow’s name surfaces in connection with the stalking of Daisy and Sasha Gilmore. Anonymous messages, strange sightings, and an eyewitness place her near Daisy’s apartment the night of one of the attacks. Anna and Dante know they’re close to something big.

Their search leads them to Elizabeth Webber’s home, armed with a new, airtight search warrant. Elizabeth’s heart sinks as they begin combing through her house, and when Dante calls out from the basement, the air freezes—a gun, matching the caliber used to shoot Drew, is found hidden behind an old cabinet. It seems too perfect, too clean. Yet when forensic results come back showing Willow’s fingerprints, even Anna can’t hide her shock.

Willow is arrested, but the fallout is immediate. Elizabeth becomes the subject of rumors—did she know about the weapon? Had she been hiding something all along? Her friends grow distant, unsure who to trust. Meanwhile, Michael remains eerily calm. His serenity unsettles everyone around him, including Veronica “Ronnie” Bard, the newest presence in the Corinthos household.

Ronnie, though warm and kind, begins to notice cracks in Michael’s mask. The way he avoids certain questions. The faint smirk when Willow’s name is mentioned. When she confides her suspicions to Tracy Quartermaine, Tracy refuses to believe it. “Michael’s made mistakes,” she insists. “But he’s not a killer.” Still, Ronnie can’t shake the feeling that Michael’s calm is an act.

Her fears deepen when she uncovers a parking receipt placing Michael near Elizabeth’s house on the night of Drew’s shooting. It isn’t proof—but it’s something.

As the Corinthos family unravels, Anna and Dante continue chasing the truth. A tiny inconsistency in the fingerprint analysis file catches Dante’s attention—the chain of custody logs don’t match the timestamps. Evidence tampering. Someone had access to the forensics and could have altered everything. When Dante reports this to Anna, she orders a full investigation. “Someone’s playing us,” she says grimly.

Back at the station, Willow sits behind bars, broken and confused. Her only visitor is Nina, who tearfully confesses to lying for her. “I did this for you,” Nina whispers. But Willow’s eyes are filled with despair. “You should’ve stayed out of it. Now they’ll take you down with me.”

And she’s right. Nina’s fabricated alibi comes back to haunt her as she faces charges of obstruction. The walls are closing in, and her world—once defined by control and influence—is crumbling.

Meanwhile, Drew Cain is spiraling. His leverage against Portia Robinson has mysteriously disappeared, and he suspects Jordan Ashford is involved. Fueled by paranoia and desperation, Drew tries to manipulate Jordan into turning on Curtis Ashford. But Jordan plays him masterfully, setting up a sting with Anna and Dante. When Drew finally loses control and pulls a gun, Dante reacts instantly. One shot. Drew collapses. He survives, but his arrest sends fresh ripples through Port Charles.

The night Drew is taken into custody, the city feels eerily quiet. But beneath the stillness, tension hums like electricity. Anna and Dante know they’re close to exposing the puppet master behind all of this. The unauthorized evidence access leads back to a tech employed by a Corinthos security firm. Suddenly, Michael’s calm demeanor seems more suspicious than ever.

When Sonny confronts his son, the moment is heavy with unspoken truths. “Tell me the truth, Michael. Did you have anything to do with that gun?” Michael doesn’t blink. “No, Dad. I’d never do something like that.” Sonny wants to believe him—but the father in him knows better.

Dante, meanwhile, uncovers deleted texts from Michael’s phone—messages discussing the “drop” and keeping it quiet. Before he can act, the files vanish from the system. Someone high up is covering tracks, and the corruption runs deeper than anyone expected.

In the end, Anna’s instincts prove right. The ballistics don’t perfectly match. The gun found in Elizabeth’s basement isn’t the real weapon. Someone planted it—and that someone had access, motive, and meticulous planning.

At the hospital, Elizabeth looks out over the city lights, wondering how one headline could cause so much destruction. Lulu’s story may have made her famous, but it’s left Port Charles in shambles.

And somewhere in the shadows, Michael watches the fallout unfold. Every piece of the puzzle is falling into place exactly as he designed it. Willow in prison. Drew neutralized. The truth buried under layers of lies. But as he stares at the photo of Willow and their children, even he begins to wonder—how long before the truth comes for him too?
