GH Spoilers Next Week, December 22 – 26 || It’s time for Wiley to speak up

The holiday season in Port Charles is shaping up to be a masterclass in parental incompetence and staggering betrayal. While the town pretends to celebrate Christmas, the reality is a cesspool of gatekeeping, manufactured alibis, and the kind of backstabbing that makes “peace on earth” a laughable concept.

The Tyranny of Lulu Spencer

Lulu Spencer is currently leading the charge in the “terrible parenting” category. Her deliberate attempts to block Britt from contacting Rocco are as transparent as they are cruel. Britt’s desire to care for the boy is being met with a level of gatekeeping that borders on obsessive. By playing God with her son’s relationships, Lulu—with Dante’s silent complicity—is setting the stage for a massive blowback.

When Britt inevitably goes around Lulu’s back next week to explain herself to Rocco, the fallout will be entirely of Lulu’s making. She is teaching her son that parents can be liars and manipulators, proving that she and Dante are fundamentally unworthy of the pedestals they occupy. They aren’t “protecting” Rocco; they are isolating him to feed their own insecurities.

The Corinthos House of Cards

The farce surrounding Drew’s trial has reached a fever pitch. Suddenly, the evidence against Willow has “disappeared”—a move so predictably corrupt it’s almost boring. While Dante wastes time investigating a deleted video, Chase is finally doing some actual police work by proving that Michael’s alibi is a total fabrication.

The image of “Golden Boy” Michael Corinthos loitering at the scene of the crime while framing his ex-wife is the peak of this family’s hypocrisy. Naturally, Tracy Quartermaine is ready to jump into the mud to protect him, proving that wealth and last names still trump justice in this town. However, the most damning evidence isn’t a video; it’s Drew’s returning memory. If Drew remembers Willow’s voice at the moment of the shooting, the narrative Michael carefully constructed is going to incinerate, and honestly, it’s long overdue.

Nina’s Calculated Betrayal

If you thought Nina Reeves had turned a corner, think again. Her approach to Charlotte is a disgusting exploitation of a child’s trust. Charlotte, looking for a shred of hope regarding her father, will likely hand over the secret of Valentin’s safety on a silver platter.

Nina’s “plan” to help Charlotte see Valentin isn’t an act of kindness; it’s a setup. The moment she has the location, she’s running to Brennan to facilitate an arrest. Using a young girl’s love for her father as bait for a WSB trap is a level of depravity that even by Port Charles standards is shocking. It’s a cold-blooded move that proves Nina’s only loyalty is to her own agenda, regardless of the emotional wreckage she leaves behind.

The Brad Cooper Problem

Finally, we have Porsche, who is apparently so fragile that Brad’s mere presence causes a meltdown. Instead of dealing with her problems, she’s leaning on Isaiah to “get rid” of him. This town’s solution to any inconvenience is always removal or destruction. While Lucas certainly deserves to know the truth about “Marco,” using Brad as the wrecking ball is just another example of these people playing with lives like they’re chess pieces.

Everyone in Port Charles is currently busy being the villain of someone else’s story, all while wrapping themselves in the shroud of “doing what’s best.” It’s a Christmas miracle of self-delusion.
