General Hospital spoilers leak Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) has set his sights on Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) with a diabolical scheme this week, aiming to crush him to keep Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) by his side.
Drew’s latest plot — further blackmailing Dr. Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) to falsify Michael’s medical records to paint him as a drug addict post-burn recovery — could destroy Michael’s reputation and his custody of Amelia and Wiley Corinthos (Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko, Viron Weaver).
Portia faces a gut-wrenching choice that could shatter her career and marriage. Will she bend to Drew’s pressure, or defy him to save Michael?
Drew’s Ruthless Strike Against Michael
Drew’s desperation to secure Willow is what propels his plan to smear Michael, leveraging Portia’s vulnerability after her role in the Jacinda (Paige Herschell) scheme.
His blackmail — threatening to expose her past misdeeds — pushes Portia to the edge, with her anguish rather obvious as she smashed her medical degree in her office this week following receipt of Drew’s new marching orders.
Michael, already reeling from Daisy Corinthos Gilmore’s (Levi Clark Coughlin) kidnapping and wanting to find a way to hold onto her, is unaware of the target on his back.
If Portia alters his records, will it ruin his custody case, or will someone uncover Drew’s plot?
Portia’s Moral Dilemma
Portia’s torment, caught between Drew’s threats and her loyalty to Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), puts her career and marriage at risk. Her hesitation reflects her fear of repeating past ethical breaches.
If she refuses Drew, possibly confiding in Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) or Ava Jerome (Maura West), she might expose his schemes, but compliance could destroy Michael and her own future.
Will Portia stand her ground, or cave under pressure, sealing Michael’s fate and her own downfall?
Port Charles Braces for Fallout
Drew’s plan to destroy Michael is just starting to kick into high gear, and if Portia is smart, she’ll consider that this is the beginning of more tormenting blackmail schemes, not the end.
Still, she keeps trying to outrun Drew’s thumb as he increases pressure. Soon, she won’t be able to sleep at night if she keeps compromising herself this way.
Do you think Drew has gone too far with this addiction scheme? To be frank, Nina and Portia may have inspired his plot after they used the same playbook to drug him.
Will Drew’s vicious plan to frame Michael succeed with Portia’s help, or will her choice to defy him save Michael and spark Drew’s downfall? Share your thoughts with us, and keep checking back for more GH news and spoilers, right here, every day.
