'Misery' Loves Company...and (In)Sanity: General Hospital Two Scoops for the Week of February 2, 2026

General Hospital's Willow finally, FINALLY has a voice and she is using it. She's also lost her mind, which is glorious to see. And Anna? She is teetering on the edge, but her loved ones left her in France. And Britt? Well, she is doing her best to just survive Creepy Cullum injecting mystery meds in her belly each day. It's all in a week's worth for Port Charles gals who have just about had it. (And who can blame them?)

She shot you, Drew...and she is PROUD!

And we are proud. High five, Willow! And another high five for finally taking control of your own life. Okay, you might be a little unhinged (or a lot), but that's what makes this so fun. We are watching the most prim and proper character soaps have ever created, finally, FINALLY cut loose and be the crazy little nutjob we always knew she could be.

We always knew that Willow was a little off her chain and the last year proved it. Watching Willow Gone Wild is everything we could have ever hoped for. From her multiple court meltdowns to that calm and composed little minx on the stand, Willow deserves an Oscar and even a Daytime Emmy.

Willow is now what we hope anyone would be when they wake up out of a long stupor, realizing they'd been manipulated and conned by a sex-scandal-laden, smarmy politician whom she thought was her hero. She's done and so are we. Well, we're done with Drew and have been for a long, long time. And Willow is done with him, too — at least the done listening to him part. Now Drew has to listen to Willow and he can't say a word. Squee!

We are also decidedly NOT done with watching Willow torture a man who wouldn't let her get a word in edgewise for well over a year. Cray-cray Willow is all we could have hoped for and more. She could turn it on and off on a dime, too. That girl went from smashing bed trays to giggling for Chase before Drew could blink. And that's now all Drew can do. He can blink. Which means we don't have to listen to him anymore. Oh, happy day!!!

Let Willow let her freak fly. We are here to watch her torture that horrible man all day and every day. Pop some popcorn and sit right down as Willow does what we've wanted to do since the day he told Nina he was lucky she was a woman or he would have decked her. And this is why Willow is our hero.

So, about Chase...

Chase, we know you want to play hero, but you really need to stop. Willow is her own hero and she doesn't need you or Drew or anyone. She shoots people. She gives them fake strokes. And she can even frame ex-husbands for attempted murder. She is doing just fine without you, so you can go back to your wife now and write out some parking tickets. Please and thank you.

They left Anna in France

No, really. THEY LEFT ANNA IN FRANCE?!?! Who does that? You see this completely broken and frantic woman who has been missing for months and don't move heaven and Earth to get her out of a French mental institution and at least into a room in Shadybrook? Some friends that Mac and Felicia turned out to be.

We have spent how long waiting for Anna to return to the land of the living in Port Charles and now she is in France?!?!?! While Valentin is still in Carly's attic?!?!?! Come on, now. What are we even doing here? Bring poor Anna home. You can do it, Emma!

Also, end this story already. Nobody asked for Faison or fake Faison or anything Faison ever again. We'll take Faison's kids cause they are basically ok people, but enough is enough. This is like watching Days of our Lives try to torture us with a dead Stefano every so often for the last 10 years. Sometimes, villains really need to be laid to rest.

Bad medicine

Who wants to bet there is nothing but saline in those injections Britt has been giving herself? Who wants to bet she might not even have Huntington's Disease? We wouldn't be surprised. And we'd be happy.

Giving a character a real terminal illness with a fake cure is absolutely not good storytelling and also reminds us of Days of our Lives when Bo got a fake cure for sepsis last year. It's insulting to the people who are actually suffering and have no treatment.

If Britt does have Huntington's Disease and her meds are taken away, that means she will die. And we like her. We really like her. Sure, she has this "Britch" reputation, but that's just a tough veneer to hide a genuinely broken person inside. Heck, people even liked her before she "died" and now suddenly don't like her for no reason. We're lookin' at you, Carly and Elizabeth.

Alexis is just doin' her best

Poor Alexis. Poor, poor Alexis. Just after letting Ric out of her basement, she was forced to defend Willow and deal with Drew yammering threats all day long while using his child as leverage. Then, she is forced to keep on defending Willow even after learning she was guilty as sin.

Now, after thinking she was done with Willow forever, the girl is back, using Drew's child as leverage to get Alexis to do what she wants. After she blessedly dealt with that custody issue toot sweet, Curtis came calling, asking Alexis to do another something lawyerly that she didn't want to do. And did Curtis listen to her? Nope. So...

Poor Portia

Poor, poor Portia. Oh, Curtis, this is her body, her choice. If the woman does not feel comfortable taking a paternity test, let her be. That would involve sticking a needle in her abdomen, something Portia might not want to do at the moment, being that she is still somewhat early in her pregnancy. Let the woman be, Curtis. Just let her be. Her body, her choice.

The General Hospital high school crush

There are multiple reasons we can't seem to get behind Lulu and Nathan. First, we are not even sure if that is Nathan at all. We are sure there is something bizarre about his sudden reappearance, so we can't trust him, which means he is not the right man for Lulu until we know what is going on. And then there is Maxie. If that is Nathan, she really is a large factor here, and we are going to see her again any day now.

And the third reason they just aren't doing it for us? They are acting like two teenagers, which can get tiring on soaps when the characters are most certainly not teenagers. They act more like two teens than Danny and Charlotte at the moment. Nathan and Lulu couldn't wait to run to their respective confidantes and confess their crush. All we could do was roll our eyes. Ho-hum.

Sigh...we like them

We tried so hard not to enjoy Sonny and Justine's scenes, but we can't do it anymore. Justine has developed into much more than just another Brenda Bot. We can see what makes her tick, we can see she is deeply human, and we can see that Sonny really likes her when he doesn't really want to like her. And Justine REALLY likes Sonny when she doesn't want to like him. So, let's see where this goes. However, if the Authentic Brenda ever wants to make a return, Justine can exit stage right.

Till next week, Scoopers, when everyone's favorite wedding planner fashionista is back in action. Let her be the one to bring Sidwell down.

Catch all-new episodes of General Hospital weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
