General Hospital spoilers tease Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has masterminded a frame job on Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) for bribing the judge in Michael Corinthos’ (Rory Gibson) custody win over Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen).
By planting evidence to make it look like Drew paid off Judge Eva Heran (Tessa Auberjonois) to sway the ruling, Sonny not only deflects suspicion from himself in Heran’s murder but taints the entire decision as illegitimate.
This opens the door for Willow to fight for Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko) again, but Sonny knows Michael doesn’t trust her after her affair and schemes. Will Michael forgive his father for this risky play that could hand Willow a second chance?
Sonny’s Bold Frame-Up Sets the Stage
Sonny’s scheme is classic mob strategy — using Brick (Stephen A. Smith) to slip incriminating evidence into Drew’s safe, painting him as the corrupt force behind Michael’s custody victory.
This not only shields Sonny from Heran’s murder probe but drags Drew deeper into scandal, especially with his shooting still unsolved. Sonny’s motive? Protect Michael while hitting Drew, his blackmailer.
But by invalidating the ruling, Sonny risks Michael’s hard-won peace, knowing Willow’s untrustworthy in his son’s eyes. If Drew’s framed, it could clear Sonny but ignite a Quartermaine backlash.
GH Spoilers Spill Willow’s Renewed Custody Fight
This frame job gives Willow a golden ticket — proving the judge was bribed makes the custody decision null, letting her challenge Michael anew.
Willow’s desperation to reclaim her kids, post-affair with Drew, makes her a wildcard; she might exploit the chaos to paint herself as the victim.
But Michael’s distrust runs deep — after her schemes and the Daisy Corinthos Gilmore (Brenden and Evelyn Beimford) kidnapping suspicion — he won’t back down easily.
Sonny’s play could hand Willow leverage, but at the cost of family harmony. Will Willow seize this shot, or will Michael’s resolve crush her hopes?
Michael’s Forgiveness Dilemma
Sonny knows Michael won’t trust Willow with the kids, so framing Drew to reopen custody feels like a betrayal to his son. Michael’s reaction could be explosive — forgiving Sonny for past sins is one thing, but this directly undermines his victory, and he may perceive it as threatening the safety of his children.
If Michael sees Sonny’s intent as protective, he might forgive, but resentment over Willow’s potential gain could fracture their bond.
Fans are divided: will Michael stand by his dad, or draw a line? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to see how this plays out.
