ABC’s General Hospital – Full Episode Recap for Wednesday, 9/10/2025: Are Liz’s Suspicions About Willow Correct?
On today’s gripping episode of General Hospital, secrets tighten their grip on Port Charles, alliances shift like sand, and one woman begins to suspect that the smiling face across from her is hiding something far darker than regret. As the fallout from Drew’s mysterious shooting continues to ripple through the town, Liz Webber finds herself staring into the eyes of someone she once trusted — and seeing a stranger.
The question on everyone’s lips: Did Willow shoot Drew?
The Investigation Into Drew’s Shooting Deepens
The hunt for Drew Cain’s shooter has officially become a full-blown investigation, and the list of suspects is growing longer by the hour. With no clear leads and too many tangled connections, the PCPD is facing one of its most perplexing cases yet.
Michael Corinthos, now drawn into the heart of the investigation, is summoned to the Port Charles Police Department for questioning. Detective Dante Falconeri and Agent Anna Devane waste no time zeroing in on a crucial piece of the puzzle: Michael’s whereabouts on the night Drew was shot. Unfortunately for Michael, his alibi is shaky at best.
Curtis Ashford steps in with a potential break. He tracks down Justinda, a woman who may be able to vouch for Michael’s location that night. However, the situation is far from resolved. A parked car found near Drew’s house links directly to Michael, and when pressed about it, his answers raise more questions than they settle.
The implication is clear: Michael saw something — or someone — that night. And he’s refusing to talk.
Is Michael Protecting Willow?
The speculation swirling around Port Charles now centers on a shocking possibility: that Willow Corinthos — Michael’s ex-wife and mother of his children — is the shooter.
While the theory might sound far-fetched to some, the cracks in Willow’s carefully constructed façade are beginning to show. She’s been visiting Drew regularly since the incident, projecting concern, offering support. But as Liz Webber watches from a distance, she senses something deeper. Something darker.
To Liz, Willow’s concern feels rehearsed. Her expressions too measured. Her interest in Drew’s recovery too… performative.
And Liz isn’t the only one who’s beginning to question the narrative.
The Web of Lies: Nina, Willow, and a Dubious Alibi
Liz’s suspicions intensify after an offhand comment from Nina Reeves, Willow’s estranged mother. Nina claims that she and Willow were together that night, taking a walk. A touching image, no doubt — mother and daughter reconciling after months of tension following Drew’s failed wedding plans.
But Liz doesn’t buy it.
She knows the animosity between Willow and Nina hasn’t simply evaporated. And if the two were truly at odds just days before, why would they be walking the streets of Port Charles like old friends the night of the shooting?
Liz begins to believe that Nina is covering for Willow. That this supposed walk was nothing more than an alibi — one crafted too conveniently for comfort. She decides to tread carefully around both women, vowing to keep her eyes open and her guard up.
Because if her instincts are correct, she’s standing in the presence of a woman capable of attempted murder.
A Cruel Transformation
Willow’s behavior has been shifting ever since the custody battle over her children reached a boiling point. Losing access to her kids sent her into emotional freefall — one that may have pushed her over the edge.
Her demeanor has hardened. Once known for her gentle compassion, Willow now wears a mask of control and detachment. And while she continues to play the role of the devoted friend and mother, those closest to her are beginning to sense the coldness beneath.
Is she just struggling to cope — or has something inside her truly snapped?
Drew’s Silence Speaks Volumes
Adding to the mystery is Drew himself, who remains unusually quiet about the night of the attack. While he claims not to remember the details, there’s a growing sense that he does know who pulled the trigger — and he’s choosing to keep that truth to himself.
Why?
Some sources suggest Drew is playing a long game. That exposing the shooter now would only ruin a carefully laid plan. But is he protecting someone? Or is he trying to trap them?
And what if that someone is Willow?
Elsewhere in Port Charles: Carly’s Persuasion, Charlotte’s Visit, and Jason’s Disappearance
As the Drew investigation heats up, the rest of Port Charles is far from quiet.
Carly Corinthos finds herself in an unexpected position — acting as a mediator between Brennan and Lulu Spencer. Brennan wants Charlotte to visit Valentin, and Carly, ever the strategist, steps in to make it happen.
She appeals to Lulu’s maternal instincts, arguing that Charlotte deserves to see her father. Lulu, torn between protection and compassion, finally agrees. But Carly’s move isn’t just about family reunions — it’s a strategic play. Once Charlotte visits Valentin, Brennan hopes to uncover the identity of the mastermind behind FA’s shadowy organization.
Meanwhile, far from the city lights, another mystery brews. Jason Morgan and Britt Westbourne have gone missing after a harrowing escape from the infamous Five Poppies Resort. Their fate remains unknown, but early word suggests both survive the ordeal.
And perhaps, in the wake of their shared trauma, they’ll rediscover the feelings they tried so long to ignore.
A Storm Is Brewing
As Wednesday’s episode draws to a close, one thing is clear: the fabric of trust in Port Charles is unraveling. Friends are watching each other too closely. Secrets are growing teeth. And at the center of it all, Liz Webber is watching Willow with the eyes of someone who knows better.
The question is no longer if something is wrong.
It’s how far someone is willing to go to protect it.
Final Thoughts
The episode masterfully weaves together tension, character conflict, and long-simmering secrets. Liz’s rising doubts bring a chilling new layer to the Drew shooting mystery, while Michael’s silence and Willow’s shifting persona add complexity and intrigue to the unfolding drama.
As we move deeper into September, General Hospital is firing on all cylinders — emotionally charged, suspense-laced, and unafraid to explore the darkest corners of its most beloved characters. With every passing day, it feels more certain: the truth behind Drew’s shooting will not only shake Port Charles…
It might just destroy it.
Stay tuned.
