GH this week 19-23 Jan. 2026: Lightning strikes a few times

GH this week 18-23 Jan. 2026 sees Willow turning her back on Drew once again not long after she was not guilty.

Storms — not the loud, soaking kind, but cold-blooded and quiet — dominated this week’s GH headlines.

We can’t believe someone came back from the dead (sort of but not in real life) while Ava became a predator as if she just became the custodian of that Cassadine Living Room estate again. Last but not least, someone decided to stab someone in the neck and make it look like an accident, you don’t want to miss that one.

Before we speed on our way to GH, Sports Benches the only place to break down those weekly GH moments for you including Aussie soap fans once every weekend.

Meanwhile, the vibe looks louder but exciting as ever over at Melbourne Park with the Australian Open Tennis. Stay tuned for the 2nd post in the lead up towards Finals time early next week.

A familiar face returns under Anna’s illusions including Faison’s famous lab setup

What a surprise!! Can’t believe Peter August is back but just the ghost in Anna Devane’s eyes. It’s been a long while since Wes Ramsey last held an acting role which is this one at GH. Mind you, he was one of my go-to villain characters who carries his father’s schtick Cesar Faison but he also provided a good laugh at times. 

While there will be more Wes on the other soap Days of Our Lives later this year, the famous Faison lab setup with Cassadine Property has returned but now at Spoon Island. 

GH this week 12-16 Jan. 2026 sees someone stopping Anna in its tracks.

It’s only there for Britt to finish her father’s final works courtesy of Mr. Jenz Sidwell & secret double WSB agent Ross Cullum.

Also strange to see Rocco’s real mom Lulu side with Cullum over Jack Brennan, sounds like there’s danger ahead. 

No wonder Cullum sees Rocco as an asset just like Britt with her HD meds. It’s something he could exploit in case things go wrong like Dalton did last time, especially with Rocco being attached technically as Britt’s only child by birth.

Shame the matching blue shirts meeting didn’t go as planned into another Jason & Britt date and you see both Sonny and ADA Turner. Instead, Britt went after Carly over her poor taste of Bobbie’s Diner on her way out for good.

Who knows best about Wyndamere Castle as good as the Cassadines? 

Ask Ava who is better than part-time real estate agent Lucy Coe lol.

Every time someone sneaks out across the Cassadine living room, Ava interrupted someone out of nowhere like snakes just to make sure nothing comes out stolen.

She even hosted a wine talk with her nephew Lucas, his boyfriend Marco and Joss. It would be more hilarious if this became a book club along with outrageous choices of wine and Lucas acting drunk like he’s at right now where Marco wasn’t having any of it.

The good news is that butler and the Five Poppies Resort guy Pascal returned to France following his fumble on Anna last week. But the bad news is Cullum stopping by at Wyndamere every now and then to monitor on this very important project. 

Hence, Brennan decided to stand down Joss for her own safety since he doesn’t completely trust his own WSB boss.

At least Lucas doesn’t have to feel threatened by someone with that French polish to try and eat him alive…for now.

It may not be Pascal but we know Marco started to be like his father when it comes to seeing Britt. Now that could bite back to haunt Lucas before it’s too late & he’s trapped next to Anna, run while you can.

Free woman Willow pulls off her sinister effect once again to you know who!!

My first reaction when Willow turned back heel on Drew for the second time, stabbing him in the neck with a syringe? 

Not a shock, not a surprise but just Willow showing true colours with her ruthless treatment of men.

Shame she will still be around a bit longer going into next month — especially with Drew’s Cameron Mathison currently off-air for a spell due to his other regular Christmas TV movie acting job with GAC.

Not even Nina her mom knows about this just yet despite showing her own dark side with her daughter. Same with Liz who Willow aspired to be when it comes to the exact short hair looks, so she can take her place as Head Nurse at some point.

While Drew may have survived but faces a long recovery ahead following a “stroke”, still no guarantee for Danny and Scout to be reunited as siblings together just yet.

GH This week September 2025 saw Portia and Nina welcoming in the person they previously hired in none other than Jacinda.

The only certainty though is that Portia can still work as a doctor for another day — despite her previous troubles only to protect her loved ones like Trina.

Oh the fight between Michael & Chase wasn’t necessary but necessary enough for Chase to being demoted from Detective to Patrol by Sonny’s son Dante since that traffic cam footage of Willow crying while she’s in the car is damaged.

GH this week 5-9 Jan 2026 sees the culprit of the Who Shot Drew? Investigation finally revealed: Willow Tait, his wife.

You’ll see…with a word of warning from Willow herself.
