The upcoming episodes of the daytime drama will be packed with shocking twists that will surely keep viewers on the edge of their seats. All eyes will be on Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), whose acquittal in the Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) shooting trial is raising eyebrows. Adding to the tension, Carly Corinthos (Eden McCoy) overhears crucial information suggesting that someone involved in the shooting may not be telling the whole truth.
On Monday, January 19, Willow's trial reached a verdict that sent shockwaves through Port Charles, leading Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to make a cryptic offer. Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is left horrified after her captivity storyline took a dark turn involving hallucinations and the voice of the deceased Cesar Faison haunting her. On the other hand, Drew issues a stern warning to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). On the Tuesday episode, Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) rush into action as tensions rise. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) boldly asks Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) out on a date; Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) enforces new orders, and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) clash in a heated encounter.
As the week progresses on Wednesday, January 2, Laura Collins (Genie Francis) will grow increasingly alarmed, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) will tempt Jason with an unexpected offer, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) will advise Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup), and Jones will deliver devastating news that could change everything, according to Hello!. Heading into Thursday, January 22, Britt will find herself backed into a corner, Jason will grow increasingly suspicious, Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) will turn to Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) for help, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Chase will have a serious conversation about their future, and Jones and Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) will be caught off guard by a surprising new development.
By the time the Friday episode airs, Sonny is expected to manipulate Ava Jerome (Maura West) to his advantage, Jason will openly voice his concern for Britt, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) will broker an unexpected introduction, and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) will finally experience a sense of relief. Moreover, 'General Hospital' will also honor the late Anthony Geary, best known for his iconic role as Luke Spencer, following his passing on Sunday, December 14, at age 78.
According to Soap Opera Digest, the show will air a loving tribute on Thursday, January 22, featuring a decades-spanning montage celebrating Geary's legacy, along with heartfelt reflections from colleagues, including longtime co-star Genie Francis, who portrayed Laura Spencer.
