Testify

 

HUMP Day!! I wonder if it will be just a filler day...hmmm... We shall see!

TODAY: 

Kai and Trina argue about going to the police about being at Drew's house and the ring tone. She's like absolutely NOT. I owe it to Joss not to rat out her best friend's brother. They are going to prove it's Michael's ring tone or not. Trina calls Gio and asks if he knows what Michael's ring tone for Wiley is--he's like NO. He wants to know what's up and why they need to know. Tri won't tell him. HE says no, I'm out because Wiley's a little kid and I'm not using him to find something out I don't know what it is. She says they are doing it FOR Wiley. 

Tracey wants Lulu to find out who gave Alexis the information about her and Michael. Lulu realizes that someone overheard them and Tracey says it has to be someone in the house. They focus on Chase because he's close to Willow.

Michael goes to the Qs, throws his coat around and tells Gio he doesn't think there is a lot of help for him. He thanks him for playing on Christmas. Krissy walks in the door. Says she's seen the trial stuff. Says she's sorry she didn't warn him. She tells him about the note. He's like Who heard us? Then they talk about Jacinda ...and Michael says it was a terrible day in court for the prosecution.

Dante and Nathan are going to comb the case file to make sure they didn't miss anything. He wants phone records for Michael and Willow.  Molly comes in and tells Nathan they need to find more evidence to seal the case on Willow. 

Dante goes to visit Lulu. He needs someone to talk to about the case and how bad he's feeling. 

Suzanne and Alexis are about ready to tuck into cake and stupid Drew interrupts and has Willow with him. He wants to testify when court is back in session. She is like: NO! we should rest on Elizabeth's testimony. He goes on and on. Then Willow says NO! SHE Should testify. Alexis says NO ONE Is testifying! Drew says he's ordering her to put him on the stand. If she doesn't, he will keep Scout from her. She says FINE, dig your own grave.

Laura is eating at Cafe Cherie and Martin comes in. Ezra is at the bar. Laura tells Marty that Kevin is taking Ace out of the country "for good". He wonders why. She lies and gives excuses. He knows she's not telling the truth. She says it's to keep Ace safe. She says it's VALENTIN that's the danger. :Eyeroll: Lying again. Tracey comes in. They talk about the furniture he's supposed to have helped to be returned. He said he tried. She says you'd better do it or you're going to prison.

Ezra is having lunch with Jacinda he wants to "help her out" EWWWWWWW. He wants a relationship with her. Giggle. She says she'll have dinner with him because she has no where else to go but she does want to leave town. 

END: 

Flashback to Martin listening to Tracey and Michael at the Qs.  He did the note

Jacinda left the table when Ezra was getting the drinks

Gio says he'll help Trina and Kai for "the kids sake"

RingTone Drama

 

DAY TWO of DREW ARE YOU? WHOOOOOO ARE YOU? DREW DREW... DREW DREW. 

Nathan goes to talk to Lulu. He thinks Charlotte is lying to her about where she is. Charlotte comes in. They ask her where she was this afternoon. She said she wasn't feeling the drama class and went to the Qs to see Danny and the horses. They believe her. 

Carly tells Val he can leave but he'd better not take Charlotte. He says he won't. He has to go because Charlotte came there. He has ENEMIES. They talk about if he should stay or go and Carly says until he he has a plane, he should stay. 

Alexis asks Jacinda if she keeps "professional records"-- and Ezra said she was with him. Was she? Jacinda finally says she was with Ezra during the time of the shooting. Dante and Michael look at each other. THEN Tracey says SHE saw Michael there that night (Alexis has that footage so she had to) Dante looks at Michael AGAIN ahhahahaha. 
Michael gets on the stand. Says he was on the street, but didn't shoot Drew. She asks where he lives. HE says at the Qs and yes, knows where the gun was kept and the key to the cabinet. Alexis asks how he feels about Drew Cain. "I HATE HIM"....Then it comes out that the RINGTONE that Kai and Tri heard was WILEY calling him...!! That's it. And actually when he went home that night, Brook told him Wiley woke up and asked for him (that did happen). The ring tone stopped him from going into the  house because he was thinking of this kids and not confronting Drew. 

After her testimony, Tracey goes to Lulu's house and is upset she's not taking care of the family correctly. She hates having to say that Michael was there that night. Lulu figures out that the folder Alexis had was a bluff. There was no tape. She made it so Tracey could see it and THINK she had it. Tracey is furious she fell for it. 

Kai and Trina realize the ringtone they heard that night was from Michael's phone. Trina knows they couldn't have heard it OUTSIDE the house, Michael had to be INSIDE the house. Ergo, Michael shot Drew. 

Dante is upset that Michael. could have done this. Brings up him going to prison and getting SA'd. It's all his fault. There's a weird moment about Nathan and a chain of evidence thing (not in this case, in another one)-- not sure if that's to show he isn't Nathan or what ....again, weird. 

END:

Elizabeth testifies that Michael was left in her house alone and could have planted the gun. 

Rapid Fire

 

HELLO! It's WHO SHOT DREW WEEK! Who knows what's going to happen-- it's been long enough! 

I've been watching Jumanji and I LOVE THAT movie. I also love Tubi-- free and yes, a few commercials but actually less than Amazon or Hulu. 

TODAY'S SHOW: 

Laura wants Kevin to go to Ireland because of Sidwell. He won't go without her. She thinks if he takes Ace, it will protect them and she work it from Port Charles. If she leaves, Sidwell will come after her.

Curtis and Portia talking about her apartment and he doesn't want Britt to be her doctor. He also wants the DNA test done TODAY. She says no, too stressful to know who the real dad is. Um, OKAY? The baby is fine BTW. Liz comes in after the appointment to talk to Portia.

In the hall, Curtis stops Britt and wants to schedule a paternity test. Isaiah walks up and is like: WTF, man?! Britt says: NOPE it's Portia's choice. 

Charlotte is "sneaking out' on a horse to go see her Father--and tells Danny all about it. AHHAHAAHAHA. Supposedly the squad car won't see her if she goes thru the woods. He's like, that's dumb, I have another plan. He has a MOTORCYCLE just laying around and I guess they are taking that!! HAHAHA. 

Valentin flashes back to Charlotte visiting on Christmas Eve. Charlotte comes up the stairs. Valentin is like WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE? she can't stand it, had to see him. He says never again. She tells him she met Sidwell. He's dangerous says Valentin. She calls him Papa and leaves. 

Carly's having lunch with Brennan, they talk about him trying to catch Valentin. Emma comes in and is desperate to have Jack help her get in touch with Anna. She only had a photo and voice mail since Halloween. Jack is thinking something is up.

Kristina warns Jacinda not to testify, to leave town. She gives her a backpack with cash to get out of town. LIKE A LOT of money. NO idea where she got it. Jacinda takes it but flashes back to Michael giving her her bracelet. 

COURT: 
Josslyn is there to support Michael.

Alexis questions Dante about Michael's "flimsy" alibi and also why they questioned him first, then dropped him. Is it because he's your brother? They go into how Dante tried to sway the judge on the manslaughter case against Michael.  Then she calls Ezra Boyle. She talks about him telling Chase that he was with Jacinda at the time of the shooting. UT OH. There goes Michael's alibi.  She asks if he was alone with her ..meaning was Michael there too? LOL..he says no. Then ADA asks if he has proof he was with her. He says no photos. 
Drew is so happy with this.
Michael had no idea Jacinda was with Ezra..he's going to go find her. 

OMG THEN Jacinda COMES TO THE COURT HOUSE TO TELL MICHAEL TO LEAVE TOWN NOW. She has the backpack but the BAILIFF COMES out and says she has to testify NOW. That was just so ... I mean. WHAT

END: 

Valentin is packing up and Carly catches him

Danny and Char team up to do 'something' about Sidwell (idiots)

Jacinda on the stand..."Who were you with at the time of the shooting"...?? Then.. show ends. 

GREAT PACE TODAY! 

Sunday Surgery: Holiday WUB

 

SHORT ONE on this First Sunday Surgery of 2026!! Last week was basically a narrative recap of (mostly) the trial and what's been happening. Some couple nookie and a chance to catch up to real-time for Port Charles. I think we went from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years in about 4 days!  Photo thx to @Shelleymaximista BSky.

I'm having a little Chai this morning, what about you!!? Let's GO GO! 

 

HAPPY first NEW SHOW from the NEW YEAR!! Here we go. Hope your days have been good ones. I got back to work on Monday--after 2 weeks off!! OY! I hope the flu stays away, that's for dang sure. 

Charlotte is watching Ace while Laura has a meeting (at the house). She wants to takt him to the park. OMG she's BEGGING to go and Laura lets her. DUMB Laura meets with that guy she ran against. EZRA BOYLE that's it. Sid wants multiple helicopter pads on Spoon Island and on the pier. She's putting up a stink. He's like: I wouldn't do that if I were you. He tells her that she really should do what Sidwell says and yada yad. 

Charlotte takes Ace to Kelly's and Sidwell sees them outside. Introduces himself. Then Marco comes out. They talk about Charlotte living at Wyndemere at one time. Then Ace wants to go. Sidwell tells Charlotte to tell Laura he said hello ...and keep an eye on Ace. 

Cody and Molly celebrate Jan1st with pancakes. She wants more zex. He goes to carry her upstairs and James walks in with Felicia. He wonders if she's hurt. Anyway, Molly leaves and James gets his lesson.

Curtis and Jordan are in bed together after spending the night. Nothing much. 

Marco and Sidwell meet at Kelly's and Sid says it looks bad for Willow after the last day of trial. Sidwell wants to warn Laura what she could lose if she doesn't do what he says. He gets a phone call. 

Curtis and Jordan have breakfast at Kelly's. She says working for Sidwell is the best job she's ever had and she's going to enjoy it until she brings him down. 

Michael visits Sonny. Sonny warns him the ADA is gunning for him. Michael wants to trash Willow on the stand Sonny says not to do that to the kids. Michael brings up Sonny's mother marrying Deke and no one stopped her. He has to protect his kids. 

ADA and Dante talk in her office and he will have to defend the PCPD's actions. Yada yada.. trial info. Suzanne comes over with the updated witness list. They see Tracey and Michael's names on there. 

Alexis tells Suzanne that they are going to go after Michael when court is back in session. Then Suzanne is gone an Kristina comes in and is looking for her charger and rifles through Alexis' court stuff and finds out she's targeting Michael. Gets hysterical. Alexis says she has reason to believe he was at the house that night. 

END: 

Sidwell wants to get his hands on Valentin and might use Charlotte to do it. 

Alexis warns Krissy not to warn Michael about being on the stand. 

Laura is scared about what Sidwell might do

New Year's Day 2026

 

Today's show will be Tony's last day on set in 2015. Hard to believe he's been gone from our screens that long. Enjoy the show and see you tomorrow. 

IN MEMORIAM 2025

A Loving Look Back 

One of the best tributes we've seen: 

NOTE: We were almost ready to publish this and we lost another great this December. Anthony Geary was in a way, the face of 'mid-modern' GH. As a part of Luke and Laura, he was sealed into pop culture forever. Tony also did theater, guest starred on tv shows and was in a few movies. The fact that almost all of principal cast of that era of storytelling is gone just about wrecks me. I can't imagine what Genie and Kin must be feeling at this point. If you read their statements, both had GH dreams the night Tony passed and perhaps that was how deep the connection was. 

David writes: I remember when we lost Anna Lee and John Ingle. Both of those losses were very tough, as they were not only loved ones but part of our family. However, nothing could prepare us for the losses we suffered this year. Not only were the actors veterans, but they were also legends. In every sense of the word. We are going to try to pay tribute to them in our own way and remember their contributions to the General Hospital family.

There are hundreds of tributes on YouTube for these individuals. I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a unique way to remember them without imposing on the many online tributes already done. I hope you like what we've come up with. 

Leslie Charleson

Monica Quartermaine

January 12

Leslie began her career on GH on August 16, 1977. 

Dave's standout scene: Monica has lost 2 parents (in-laws), a husband, surrogate mother and 4 children. (one returned) All of those tragic scenes would be standouts. I was going to go with the day she told the Q's that she had an affair with Ned, but instead decided to do something lighter. Here is her performance at the Nurse's Ball in 1994

Karen's standout scene:  Night before the breast cancer operation

Denise Alexander

Leslie Webber

March 5

Denise began her career on GH in 1973.

Dave's standout scene: Lesley and Monica have had their share of fights. I think this was by far their biggest. And Lesley got a really good slap in. Classic soap acting by these two brilliant performers.

Karen's standout scene: Leslie confronts Rick about being the father of Monica's baby (well... ) 

Chris Robinson

Rick Webber

June 9

Chris began his career on GH in 1978.

Dave's standout scene: I chose his final performance. He played a ghost of his character on the 50th anniversary episode along with Alan, Emily, Monica and Tracy. Tons of great history mentions.

Karen's standout scene: They tell Alan about their affair-- it's a bad video but it's a goodie also for Leslie C and Stuart D. Just a great scene

Tristan Rogers

Robert Scorpio

August 15

Tristan began his career on GH in December 1980.

Dave's standout scene: Walking with Burt Ramsey on the docks and arresting him as Mr. Big. 

Karen's standout scene: I remember this like it was yesterday!! Mac arrives in PC and Robert doesn't react well!! 

Tony Geary

Luke Spencer

December 14

Tony began his career on GH in 1978. 

Dave's standout scene: Luke was presumed dead and returned to Port Chuck to see his old friend Robert. Instead he meets up with Mrs. Scorpio.

Karen's standout scene:  Has to be Laura running Luke at the Mayor's mansion. I waited WEEKS for that reunion. When he yelled "Laura"?? My heart about stopped!! Such a scene.
