General Hospital Recap, November 26: Willow forgives Nina, Drew makes more dire threats

Here is your General Hospital recap for Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

What happened on General Hospital

Willow opened the front door to Drew's house to find Liesl there. She walked into the living room and told Willow that she'd heard about her latest engagement. "Are you here to change my mind?" Willow asked.

"Marrying Drew is not my first choice for you, but it's your life. I'm not here to criticize," Liesl said, surprising Willow, who thanked her. "Don't thank me. Thank your mother. She's the one who talked some sense into me."

Liesl told Willow that Nina was not happy to hear she would be marrying Drew, but realized the most important thing was Willow's happiness. Willow unenthusiatically claimed she was indeed happy and asked Willow to thank Nina for her. "Why don't you thank her yourself? Isn't it time you made amends with your mother?" Liesl asked.

Willow, forever the priss, wondered how she could forgive Nina after all the lies she had told, not realizing she was about to marry Drew. Liesl had a diplomatic answer: "Because she is her mother and she loves you."

Liesl then got blunt: "You're acting like an ungrateful, petulant child. From the moment Nina found out you were her daughter, she has done nothing but love you...You must see how much she fights for you, she protects you, she has stood by your side for so much and yet you turn your back on her. That is not how family works. You must make amends with your mother."

Just then, Nina arrived. Liesl explained she had been waiting in the car. An annoyed Willow asked Nina why she'd even want to come to the wedding since she hated Drew so much. "I would learn to accept the two of you if that means I could be part of your life again," Nina said. "Knowing me, I will probably disappoint you again, but I can promise you this. I will love and support you for the rest of your life, no matter what."

Amazingly, a prissy Willow told Nina that maybe they could work on having a relationship. Needless to say, Nina was thrilled. However, Willow had to add, "I'm not sure I can ever trust you again or that we will be as close as we once were, but I am willing to let you be a part of my life because the truth is, I have missed you too."

Brook Lynn warned Chase that he was never going to be able to cook a successful turkey dinner in the Quartermaine house, or rather, Tracy's house. Brook Lynn pointed out that even Olivia had given up, but Chase insisted that he could do it.

"It's been 30 years since anyone has been able to get a turkey on the Quartermaine table," she pointed out, but Chase claimed that they had never been there before to cook one. When Michael entered the room, Brook Lynn asked him to help cook.

"I don't know. It might not be a good idea for Chase and me to be in the kitchen, you know, with all those knives," Michael said. Brook Lynn tried to play mediator, but Michael was angered by Chase's suspicions that he had shot Drew. As Chase continued to defend Willow, Michael told him that Willow planned to marry Drew on Thanksgiving.

Michael explained that he saw Willow at General Hospital wearing Lila's engagement ring. "That is appalling," Brook Lynn said. Chase chalked it up as Drew's idea, as Willow could do no wrong in his eyes. Michael was furious. "All I know is, I don't give a damn anymore," he said before walking off.

Once Michael was gone, Brook Lynn wondered if Willow was doing this just to stay out of prison. Chase was surprised to hear his wife say that and wondered why she no longer suspected Michael. Brook Lynn explained that Michael had been so kind and supportive about Gio and helped her make amends with her son. Chase was happy for his wife, so she agreed to help him cook a turkey.

Dante informed Nathan that Rocco had made bail and thanked him for getting him out of juvenile detention before asking him for help on a case. He led him into the interrogation room and told Nathan, "We have to take another look at who shot Drew," he said, explaining they were exploring what Alexis might do to take suspicion off Willow.

Nathan wondered if Chase might be the better cop to do this with, but Dante told him that he wanted Chase as far away from the case as possible. Nathan understood, so Dante said they had to start with Michael. After going over the file, Nathan realized Michael was the next strongest suspect.

Nathan then moved on to Curtis. Dante told him that he could have access to the Q estate due to his business association with Michael. Nathan also believed that Carly could be a suspect. However, he kept going back to Curtis.

At the gallery, Trina admitted to Ava that she ruined a sale with Jordan and she would be taking her art-buying business elsewhere. "I realize that my parents' marriage never stood a chance with her waiting in the wings all the time," Trina said.

Ava warned Trina that she couldn't stop Curtis and Jordan from being together, but Trina thought Curtis would stay away from Jordan if she just asked. "Anytime you give someone an ultimatum, they end up resenting you for it," Ava warned. "Doesn't he care about how much I resent her?" Trina asked, just as Portia walked in.

Portia asked Trina if she wanted to go grab dinner, but Trina told her she already had plans with Curtis and Stella. She invited Portia to join them, but Portia turned her down and told her she would be working on Thanksgiving. Trina felt like her family was being torn apart.

As Ava watched them, she recalled Nina telling her that she threw Portia under the bus for Willow's sake. After Trina left, Portia and Ava sat down to chat. Portia admitted that she feared losing Trina if the baby turned out to be Isaiah's. That's when Ava decided to rip the Band-Aid and tell Portia what Nina had done.

Ava wasn't sure that Nina was specifically talking about Portia, "but if it was you, she felt terrible about it." Portia did not care how terrible Nina felt. She still betrayed her. Portia panicked and worried she would give birth behind bars. She also worried she would have to reveal her alibi, Isaiah.

Stella met Curtis for dinner at the Port Charles Grille. He suggested they go elsewhere because Marty and Drew were at the bar. Stella refused to go. "If anyone should leave here with their tail between their legs, it's Drew," she said.

At the bar, Drew told Marty that he and Willow were getting married again — on Thanksgiving at his house. Marty agreed to officiate, but was surprised that Willow was willing to take Drew back. "You know me. I always get what I want, like Willow, and getting revenge on whoever crossed me," Drew pronounced.

Over at Stella and Curtis' table, Stella couldn't stop glaring at Drew. She asked Curtis for a distraction. "Like, how are things between you and Portia? Have the two of you reconciled yet?" Stella asked. Curtis told Stella he was still getting a divorce, but thrilled her with the ultrasound picture.

Soon, Trina arrived and told them she had done all the Thanksgiving shopping. Trina was grateful that Stella was with them after Drew had targeted her for an insurance fraud investigation. That prompted Stella to approach Drew at the bar. "Good evening, Congressman Cutthroat. How many lives do you plan on destroying this evening?" Stella asked.

Stella was on a tear when she laid into Drew for abusing the power of his office to open an investigation into her. "That was completely and utterly corrupt. And you did it all to get back at my nephew," she accused.

Drew then decided to become ageist, cause why not? "You reach a certain age, and things can become a little confusing," he shot back at Stella. Marty had to calm Stella down. But she was just getting going and brought up the shooting. "A smarter man would have changed his ways after something like that, but you are just as despicable as ever. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else took a shot at your ass. You deserve it," she spat.

Curtis asked Stella to return to the table, but Drew had to get in a threat. "You might want to remind your aunt that investigations can be reopened," he said. Back at the table, Curtis vowed to protect his family, while at the bar, Drew told Marty he was sure that Curtis had shot him.

Lulu was in tears by the time she brought Rocco home. He promised her that he was okay before they walked into the house to reunite with Danny and Charlotte. Jason and Lulu went outside to talk while the teens got caught up. Rocco admitted he would break into the lab again. "It was kind of exciting," he said.

Outside, Jason informed Lulu that he had been told not to bring the kids to the PCPD to give their statements. Lulu assumed it was because Dalton was missing. "Maybe Sonny had something to do with this," Lulu wondered. Jason assured her that Sonny did not kill Dalton. Lulu worried he could pop back up at any moment.
