ABC General Hospital Spoilers: In a stunning twist that rocks Port Charles to its core, General Hospital reveals that Wiley is not Michael’s biological son. This shocking revelation triggers an intense custody battle, reshaping the lives of everyone connected to the innocent little boy.

For years, Michael has believed Wiley was his flesh and blood, building his entire life and identity around being the boy’s father. But when Brad stumbles across an old, forgotten file buried deep in the hospital’s storage, the truth comes to light: an early DNA test done right after Wiley’s birth proved Michael wasn’t his biological father. For reasons still shrouded in mystery, the results were hidden — until now.

The news devastates Michael. Once a confident father, he now finds himself spiraling into uncertainty and heartbreak. His once-strong bond with Wiley now feels fragile, as Michael struggles to make sense of what it means for both of their futures. Desperate for answers, Michael hires a private investigator to dive deep into Nelle’s past — combing through her relationships during the time she became pregnant.

Speculation begins to swirl throughout Port Charles. Could Wiley’s real father be Chase, who had a complicated romantic history with Nelle? Or was it Shiloh, the dangerous leader of the Dawn of Day cult? Even more disturbingly, there are whispers that the child could somehow be connected to Ryan Chamberlain, the notorious serial killer. Each theory is more terrifying than the last, raising alarming questions about Wiley’s true lineage and what it could mean for his future.

Meanwhile, Willow — who has raised Wiley as her own and loved him fiercely — senses a painful shift in Michael. His interactions with Wiley are still loving, but there’s a hesitation now, a distance that wasn’t there before. Fearing Michael might pull away completely, Willow secretly meets with Diane to explore her legal options, preparing for the heartbreaking possibility that she might have to fight alone to remain Wiley’s mother.

At the same time, Drew is stepping up in unexpected ways. Having built a strong relationship with Willow and Wiley, Drew finds himself wanting to fill the looming void in Wiley’s life. Despite his recent betrayal that strained his bond with Willow, Drew’s love for Wiley is undeniable. With Michael unraveling and possibly withdrawing from the custody battle, Drew quietly positions himself as a stable and loving father figure.

Drew’s home has already been expanded to create a warm and welcoming space for Wiley, complete with the boy’s favorite toys and books. He continues nurturing Wiley’s sense of security, slowly but surely becoming the one constant the boy can rely on.

On the other side, Carly refuses to believe the shocking DNA results without a fight. Never one to back down, she immediately pulls in Spinelli to investigate whether there was tampering with the original test. Carly is even considering arranging for a brand-new DNA test at an independent lab far outside Port Charles to rule out any possible manipulation. Her instincts scream that something isn’t right — and when Carly digs her heels in, Port Charles knows to expect fireworks.

Nina, watching the chaos unfold, experiences a bittersweet hope. As Wiley’s biological grandmother through Nelle, her bond with him remains unshaken by the question of paternity. If Michael’s claim weakens, Nina’s chances of securing a more prominent role in Wiley’s life could grow stronger. Every interaction with Wiley becomes more meaningful for Nina, who carefully tries to rebuild their relationship, even as old tensions with Willow simmer just beneath the surface.

Adding another layer of complexity is Lucas, Wiley’s first foster father. Having loved Wiley deeply before losing custody, Lucas’s reappearance in Port Charles sends shockwaves through the ongoing battle. With old emotions resurfacing, questions arise: will Lucas support Willow’s fight to keep Wiley? Will he side with Michael, his cousin? Or might he try to launch his own custody claim, believing he can give Wiley the home he deserves?

While the adults clash over legal rights and blood ties, Wiley remains blissfully unaware of the storm brewing around him. He still calls Michael “Daddy” and lovingly refers to Drew as his “new daddy” when playing with friends at preschool. Wiley draws pictures of his “big family,” imagining Michael, Willow, Drew, Nina, and even Lucas all together — a vision of unity and happiness that, heartbreakingly, may never come true.

Dr. Kevin Collins and other child psychologists in Port Charles are sounding alarms about the damage such a heated custody battle could do to Wiley’s emotional wellbeing. They warn that dragging the boy through a high-conflict legal war could leave lasting scars. Yet, in a town where pride, power, and influence often outweigh reason, it remains to be seen whether Wiley’s best interests will truly be put first.

As the situation grows even more explosive, the battle lines are being drawn:

• Michael wrestles with the devastating possibility of walking away.

• Willow prepares to fight with everything she has to keep her son.

• Drew steps into the role of protector and father.

• Nina plots her own quiet moves to secure a place in Wiley’s life.

• Lucas considers a shocking return to the fight.

And at the center of it all is little Wiley, whose future — and the entire power balance of Port Charles — hangs precariously in the balance.

One thing is certain: the truth about Wiley’s paternity is just the beginning. As emotions run high and loyalties are tested, Port Charles will never be the same again.
