The drama continues to escalate in Port Charles, with Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) suffering severe injuries after being caught

in a fire at his father Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) penthouse. Although Sonny and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) desperately

tried to rescue him, Michael’s injuries have proven to be critical. Once again, Michael finds himself in harm’s way due to his father’s dangerous mob lifestyle.

After being rushed to General Hospital, Michael underwent emergency surgery, but his condition remains precarious. Dr. Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) delivers the grim news to Michael’s family, revealing that over 40% of Michael’s body is covered in third-degree burns. The prognosis is not hopeful, and Lucas admits he cannot guarantee Michael’s survival. Michael briefly regains consciousness, and though he attempts to speak, the pain overwhelms him, causing the doctors to sedate him and update the family on the situation.

Amidst the chaos, Jason experiences emotional flashbacks to when Michael was a child, reminding him of their close bond. However, the overwhelming stress takes a toll on everyone, especially as the stakes grow higher for Michael’s survival.

In the midst of this trauma, explosive General Hospital spoilers suggest that Michael has one final request for Jason. Fearing for the safety of Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) and their unborn child, Michael asks Jason to ensure they are protected. Recently, Michael learned that his one-night fling with Sasha resulted in a pregnancy, but Sasha is determined to keep the identity of the father a secret. She worries that Sonny’s mob ties would put the baby in harm’s way, which is a valid concern.

The situation becomes even more complicated as Michael is now on his deathbed, grappling with whether to reveal the truth about the baby. Though Sonny believes the explosion that injured Michael was meant for him, the reality is that Michael was the one affected. This gives Michael further reason to ask Jason for his help, particularly if he doesn’t make it out of this ordeal.

Meanwhile, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) knows about Sasha’s pregnancy but remains unaware of the true father. Only Sasha and Michael are privy to this secret. As Michael’s health worsens, it’s clear that the stakes are higher than ever.

The final question remains: Will Jason honor Michael’s wishes and protect Sasha and the baby? GH previews tease that Michael will confide in Jason about the pregnancy, asking him to step in if Michael is unable to do so himself. The ultimate dilemma for Jason is whether he will go so far as to pretend the baby is his, keeping Michael’s secret safe. Will Jason go to great lengths to ensure their safety, even at the cost of his own integrity? Fans are eagerly waiting to see how this intense situation unfolds.
