Drama takes center stage in General Hospital as the aftermath of Michael Corinthos’ (Chad Duell) tragic accident sparks fierce family

tensions and unexpected decisions. With Michael critically injured, Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) and Martin Grey

(Michael E. Knight) act swiftly, filing for temporary custody of Wiley Corinthos and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Serenity, and Sequoia Mork Macko).

Willow’s Initial Reluctance

When Martin approached Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) with the custody proposal, she was taken aback. The timing felt wrong — how could she entertain such legal maneuvers while Michael was fighting for his life? Her focus remained steadfast on his recovery rather than on custody battles.

Carly’s Approval Sets the Plan in Motion

Despite Willow’s initial reservations, Diane received Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) approval to move forward with the legal strategy. This bold decision stunned Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), who was blindsided when Diane arrived at her penthouse with a judge’s orders to claim the children.

Escalating Custody Tensions

Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) accompanied Diane as the police representative, while the Quartermaine nanny also joined them. Tensions rose further when it was revealed that Willow, holding Michael’s medical proxy, wielded significant power over his treatment decisions. Though Martin and Nina were dismayed by Willow’s refusal to support the temporary custody filing, Martin hinted at a contingency plan that hinged on Willow’s authority as the proxy.

Josslyn’s Outrage Sparks Confrontation

At the hospital, Willow faced a scathing verbal attack from Michael’s sister, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). Upon discovering Carly’s actions, Josslyn made it clear she was ready for a showdown. Meanwhile, Willow grappled with the weight of her role as Michael’s proxy, knowing her decisions could determine his recovery path.

A Tough Decision for Willow

As Michael’s condition worsens and the likelihood of transfer to a specialized treatment facility looms, Willow faces a moral dilemma. Could she leverage her proxy authority to negotiate custody terms with Carly? Would she go so far as to threaten to withhold life-saving treatment until Wiley and Amelia are back in her care?

Upcoming spoilers hint at a pivotal moment where Carly must weigh the urgency of Michael’s medical needs against the possibility of losing custody of her grandchildren. The stakes have never been higher as Port Charles residents brace for the fallout of Willow’s daring choices.
