General Hospital heads into a new week with old problems. The hottest plots for August 14 to 28, 2026, feature Willow dealing with her new living arrangements, too many people plotting revenge, and one insecure lawyer.
Don't Mess With Tracy

Now that Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is on her property, Tracy (Jane Elliot) has to lay down some ground rules, but Willow is not ready to be put in her place. Willow reminds Tracy that she doesn't know what she is capable of, and Tracy is well aware. She has seen the things that Willow is willing to do.
Willow also gets into it with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), who puts the little minx on notice. When Nina is enraged later in the week, is it because of something Jack does to Willow? He has warned Nina not to help her daughter out of any other binds.
Willow's week gets even more precarious when Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) also informs her that she knows she shot Drew (Cameron Mathison). Who will Willow have to shoot to keep this quiet?
Vengeful Plots

Drew and Ava (Maura West) continue their revenge plot against Sonny (Maurice Benard) for no apparent reason. We can kind of understand Ava growing weary of endless custody fights, but why is Drew so determined to go after the man? Is it also about whatever is in that infamous black box?
Everyone wants a piece of whatever Sidwell (Carlo Rota) had, including Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Will Drew and Ava's plot get mixed up in whatever Valentin proposes to Carly (Laura Wright) and Jason (Steve Burton)?
Self-Sabotage

Ric (Rick Hearst) doesn't do himself any favors with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) when he witnesses a scene between her and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) at the hospital. The pair is friendly again when Dante gets his knee checked out, which doesn't sit well with Ric at all.
When Lulu (Alexa Havins) finds herself giving romantic advice this week, does she once again try to tell Ric not to cause problems where there aren't any? Ric is about to get in his own way once again, as he has always done with Elizabeth.
Is Ric being silly? Does Drew's plan make sense? Let us know what you think in the comments.
