This week on General Hospital, unsettling parallels between Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) and her late twin
Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) leave fans wondering if Willow is following in her sister’s manipulative footsteps.
Once portrayed as polar opposites, Willow’s behavior now hints at a transformation that feels all too familiar.

Deceptive Choices and Questionable Morality
While Willow hasn’t gone to Nelle’s extremes—such as fabricating a drunken night with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or engaging in physical confrontations with Carly Spencer (Laura Wright)—her recent actions reveal a more calculating side. Despite not resorting to overt schemes like returning Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) to Brad Cooper (Parry Shen), Willow’s demeanor has become colder and more self-serving.
Her ongoing affair with Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) showcased a lack of remorse, reminiscent of Nelle’s unapologetic antics. Rather than showing regret for betraying Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), Willow appeared more concerned about being caught than about the consequences of her actions.
Power Plays and Manipulation
When Michael was injured in a devastating explosion alongside Drew, Willow made a dramatic return—not solely out of concern, but partially to reassert her authority as Michael’s healthcare proxy. Her motives for taking control during his vulnerable state raised eyebrows. Was her decision motivated by genuine love, or was it a strategic move to maintain influence?
Fans can’t help but draw comparisons to Willow’s past infidelities. Her relationship with Michael began after she cheated on a dying Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard), and now she’s repeating history by straying from Michael during his own life-threatening ordeal.
Echoes of Nelle’s Manipulation
Though Willow hasn’t shown the same overt disregard for Wiley’s well-being as Nelle, shades of her sister’s manipulative tendencies surface. Nelle notoriously refused critical surgery for Wiley despite the boy’s life being at risk due to a genetic heart condition. Willow’s seemingly selfish decisions might not directly endanger her children, but they suggest an unsettling willingness to prioritize her desires over others’ needs.
A Hidden Agenda?
Willow’s behavior leaves Port Charles questioning her true nature. While she may outwardly present herself as a caring mother and devoted partner, her increasingly deceptive actions tell another story. Fans are left to wonder—has Willow truly morphed into a mirror image of her twin, or is there still a chance for redemption?
