Brad (Parry Shen) is up to his old tricks again on General Hospital. After blackmailing Portia (Brook Kerr), then having the tables turned where she ordered him around, the perpetually nervous lab tech is now doing Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) bidding with the promise of getting $1 million. Shen recently shared one of the Brad and Portia clips on social media with some hilarious commentary.

Portia changed the narrative

Shen wrote on Instagram, “The tables have turned. #gh #portia #brad. Whatever it takes to put a smile on your face.” Along with that was a dual video clip with the scene from General Hospital at the top, and Shen’s reactions at the bottom. In the scene, Brad is talking to Portia who tells him, “You have nothing, Brad.”

He responds, “Let's look at the facts, shall we? In the past few days, you've had me pull every medical record on Drew Kane and get my hands on some ketamine for you.” Brad continued, “Now, out of nowhere, the congressman was drugged with a dose perfectly calculated for his health stats. Doesn't take a genius to know you're behind it.” However, Portia changed things around, stating, “I wasn't behind any of that, Brad. You were.”

His reaction was classic

We could see Shen’s reactions as the clip played. He’s sipping a drink and when Brad first responds to Portia, Shen yelled, “Get her!” He also nodded along as Brad laid out how he knew the ketamine was used on Drew, and made some motions agreeing with Brad’s train of thought. Then, smiling with a mouthful of water, as Portia reveals that she’s going to blame him for procuring the ketamine, Shen did the ultimate comedic reaction: A spit take.

If you don’t know what that is, the spit take was made famous by comedian Danny Thomas, and it involves a person sipping something, only to spit out their drink all over the place in reaction to something shocking. The camera then cut to a side view of Shen facing his main camera, and he muttered, “Now I gotta clean all this up. Oh man.”

Former General Hospital star Kelly Thiebaud, who played Brad’s bestie and partner in crime, Britt Westbourne, responded, “😂 I think she got you.” Lydia Look, who plays Brad’s aunt and mobstress Selina Wu commented, “❤️😝❤️🔥,” with @lovebees1018 replying to it, “@thelydia_look Auntie Selina will get him outta this. 🤣.”

And fan, @zilladelphiatimez, wrote, “‘Unhinged' Portia vs ‘Trying to get it together' Brad is the showdown I didn’t know I needed in my life…Might be time to get the Aunties involved…an Auntie-Off if you will!”
