Get ready for an explosive week in General Hospital as courtroom tensions boil over and secrets erupt with far-reaching consequences. With Nina Reeves pulling strings behind the scenes and Curtis Ashford stepping in with a shocking witness, the battle for truth and justice in Port Charles takes a dangerous turn that could upend lives forever.

It all begins in the crowded courthouse, where the stakes have never been higher. Willow Corinthos is barely holding it together emotionally as her world tilts from the shock of her mother’s latest revelation. Nina, always playing a dangerous game of power and manipulation, dropped a bombshell by revealing that Michael Corinthos is the father of Sasha Gilmore’s unborn baby. This twist, conveniently timed for courtroom leverage, was delivered directly to the prosecutor, Rick Lansing, giving him ammunition to question motives, credibility, and parental rights.

As Sasha sits on the witness stand, visibly shaken but resolved, Rick’s line of questioning is cold and sharp. He accuses Sasha of withholding the truth and using Michael’s paternity as a courtroom strategy. Sasha attempts to defend herself, claiming she kept the secret to protect her child and only confided in Nina when she felt the time was right. But Rick isn’t buying it. His real target is clear—Nina Reeves—and the ripple effect her actions have triggered.

In the courtroom gallery, the tension is thick as Carly Spencer watches from the sidelines, her expression a blend of anger and determination. She knows Nina’s game, and she’s had enough. As soon as recess is called, Carly storms through the hallway and confronts Nina. The confrontation is electric—Carly accuses Nina of manipulating the court, exploiting Michael’s name, and using Willow’s love to gain control. Nina tries to justify her actions, insisting it was all for Willow’s benefit. But Carly sees right through her façade, warning that Michael will never forgive this betrayal.

Yet Carly’s fury doesn’t stop there. She has another card to play—one even more damning than the paternity reveal. She confronts Nina again, this time with devastating precision. Carly accuses her of secretly carrying on an affair with Drew Cain, all while pretending to stand united with Willow. Nina tries to deny it, but Carly isn’t bluffing. She has seen the evidence: texts, secret coffee meetings, and enough breadcrumbs to confirm the truth.

Realizing she’s cornered, Nina finally confesses. Yes, she and Drew were involved. But she insists it has nothing to do with the case. Carly is unmoved, her voice razor-sharp. She warns Nina that Willow, if she ever finds out the full extent of the betrayal, may never recover emotionally. And that’s a consequence Nina may not be prepared to face.

Back in the courtroom, Michael Corinthos takes the floor after learning everything during recess. The revelation has left him furious, but he’s determined not to derail Willow’s fragile legal battle with an emotional outburst. Instead, he channels his rage into a calculated line of questioning directed at Sasha. He wants answers—not just about the baby, but about why his name was used as a pawn in a legal war he never agreed to join.

Sasha struggles to respond, guilt written across her face. She tries to explain that she was trying to protect everyone—Michael, the baby, even Willow. But Michael doesn’t let her off easy. He demands to know why he had to learn about his paternity in open court and not in private. Sasha admits she was afraid of how Michael and Sonny would react. Her fear paralyzed her, and in that silence, Nina made the decision for everyone.

Meanwhile, Curtis Ashford has been working behind the scenes to bring clarity to the chaos. In a stunning twist, he arrives at the courthouse with a living witness who could tip the scales in a way no one expected. The identity of this witness remains under wraps until the judge calls the court back into session. As murmurs sweep the room, Curtis leads a guarded woman to the front—someone whose testimony could either exonerate or devastate key players in the case.

The judge listens intently as this new witness takes the stand. Her testimony sheds light on Nina’s deeper involvement and unearths a pattern of manipulation that stretches further than anyone imagined. The courtroom, already on edge, erupts with emotion as truths collide with long-held lies. Nina’s grip on her carefully crafted image begins to unravel.

Willow, sitting silently just behind the witness stand, is caught in the middle of the storm. Her trust in Nina wavers as more truths come to light. She thought her mother was fighting for her, but now she sees the cracks forming in that narrative. The betrayal, both legal and personal, becomes impossible to ignore.

As the judge prepares to render a decision, the weight of every lie, secret, and manipulation hangs heavy in the air. Michael’s heart aches with betrayal. Willow’s eyes brim with unshed tears. Nina’s mask of composure begins to crumble. And Carly, ever the protector, watches it all unfold with a grim sense of justice served.

But this isn’t the end. Far from it.

Because in Port Charles, no secret stays buried for long—and Curtis’s living witness may only be the first spark in a blaze that threatens to burn everything down.

Stay tuned. The verdict is coming. And once it lands, nothing in Port Charles will ever be the same again.
