The first week of December on General Hospital promises to be nothing short of explosive, plunging viewers into a dark labyrinth of betrayal, murder cover-ups, unraveling marriages, and a dangerous cat-and-mouse chase on Spoon Island. From Windermere’s blood-shadowed halls to a wedding destined for disaster, this week’s episodes from December 1–5, 2025, will push the characters of Port Charles to their breaking points.

Lucas Jones Walks Into Windermere—and Straight Into Hell

Lucas Jones arrives at Windermere expecting an ordinary check-in but steps over the threshold and into a nightmare. There is no slow build to the tension—fear greets him immediately. A fresh glimmer of blood stains the base of the grand staircase, and a faint shuffling sound carries from behind a nearly closed door. The air itself seems wrong, colder than it should be, as if the walls themselves know what Lucas does not yet understand: someone has died here… and someone wants it hidden.

Crouching beside the blood, Lucas sees that it hasn’t dried. Whoever was hurt was hurt recently, maybe minutes ago. His instincts flare just as he overhears a clipped, tense exchange between Jen Sidwell and the eerily composed butler Pascal. Their words freeze him where he stands.

The name they utter: Dalton.
Not Professor Dalton. Not even Henry Dalton.
Just Dalton—stripped of identity, as if the man no longer deserves a name.

Pascal assures Sidwell the body has been “taken care of.” Sidwell’s chilling reply—“No one can ever know”—confirms Lucas’s worst fear. Dalton isn’t missing. He’s dead.

When Lucas instinctively backs away, his heel taps a stand, shaking a porcelain vase just enough to make his presence known. He flees into a corridor, heart hammering, only to realize Windermere is a maze engineered to trap him. His phone has no signal. Every second that passes feels like another second closer to death.

What Lucas doesn’t know is that Josslyn is already en route to Spoon Island, hoping to surprise him. If she steps into Windermere now, she’ll walk directly into the darkest secret in Port Charles.

Curtis Ashford: Accused, Betrayed, and Breaking Apart

As danger grips Spoon Island, Curtis Ashford faces a different sort of terror—a devastating personal and legal crisis. Sitting in a stark interrogation room, Curtis endures the same question repeated like a weapon:

“Why did you shoot Drew Cain?”

The accusations rest on flimsy evidence, but flimsy evidence can still destroy a man when the police need someone to blame. Curtis’s silence is strong—until Portia walks into the room… and everything shatters.

Portia delivers two blows that take the air from his lungs.
First: She wasn’t with Curtis the night Drew was shot—she was with Isaiah Gannon.
Second: Isaiah may be the father of her unborn child.

The betrayal is catastrophic. Curtis had believed the baby was the one thing holding his life together. Now it becomes the wedge driving everything apart. Portia insists she didn’t shoot Drew and that Isaiah can confirm her alibi. But her defense only deepens the wound. Curtis sees what’s coming: the police will let Portia walk free while tightening their focus on him.

Trina overhears her mother’s confession and is crushed, but unlike her parents, she refuses to collapse. Determined to protect her father, Trina begins her own search for the truth—one that may unravel far more than the police suspect.

Sonny Corinthos: Secrets, Scandals, and the Edge of War

Across town, Sonny Corinthos feels the walls closing in. Meeting privately with Michael, Sonny wants to believe his son didn’t shoot Drew—but belief isn’t enough to counter witnesses and a damning ballistics report. Sonny vows to clear Michael’s name, even as he hides a dark truth of his own.

Sonny discovered evidence proving Sidwell killed Professor Dalton. And instead of handing it to the authorities, Sonny, Jason, and Laura covered up the body’s disappearance to prevent a political scandal that could rip Port Charles apart. Now the police believe they murdered Dalton, and Sidwell hides behind lawyers while they take the fall.

When Sonny learns Sidwell is preparing to flee the country, something in him snaps. Justice won’t come through the courts—not this time. Sonny orders Jason to ensure Sidwell never escapes. Jason agrees, but before he can move, Laura calls with a warning: the police are preparing warrants.

Time is running out. And Sidwell? He isn’t fleeing. He’s hunting—back on Spoon Island.

Willow’s Wedding: A Vow Destroyed Before It Begins

Meanwhile, Willow stands in a chapel adorned with winter flowers, preparing for the fresh start she believes she deserves. She and Drew have planned a quiet, intimate ceremony. Everything appears perfect… until Michael takes a seat at the back pew, his hands trembling.

Michael has summoned someone to Port Charles—someone who knows the truth about Willow’s darkest secret. A secret even Drew doesn’t know.

As Willow adjusts her veil, the chapel doors open. A figure steps forward, ready to expose her. Willow’s face goes pale. Before she can deny anything, police officers surge inside and place her in handcuffs. Gasps ripple through the crowd. Drew stares at her, stunned and betrayed.

This wedding is over before it even begins.

Windermere Erupts: A Deadly Chase Through the Dark

Back at Windermere, Josslyn wanders the halls searching for Lucas, unaware that Pascal stalks her from the shadows. She finds blood. She feels the chill. And suddenly she’s trapped.

Lucas hears her voice and bolts from Sidwell’s interrogation, crashing into her near a corner. They flee together, racing through servant passages while Sidwell and Pascal close in.

A narrow escape leads them into the gardens—only for Sidwell to step from behind a stone pillar with a gun raised. A distraction from the balcony buys them seconds—only seconds—but enough to run. They scramble down a cliffside path to the dock, leap into a small boat, and tear away from Spoon Island as bullets hit the water behind them.

They survive. But barely. And both know Sidwell will not stop until they are dead.

The Week Ends With the City in Chaos

By week’s end:

• Lucas and Josslyn escape by boat, but Sidwell vows revenge.

• Curtis races to meet Trina, who claims she’s discovered something that could clear him.

• Sonny and Jason set a deadly plan in motion, unaware Sidwell is already back on Spoon Island.

• Willow is arrested as Drew watches his future collapse in real time.

Port Charles has been pushed to the brink—and next week, every consequence will hit with full force.
