General Hospital Spoilers: Monica’s Will Shatters the Quartermaines, Drew’s Shooting Rocks Port Charles, and Carly Faces Betrayal

ABC’s General Hospital spoilers for Friday, October 3rd deliver a bombshell episode that leaves Port Charles trembling. What began as a solemn gathering to honor Monica Quartermaine’s final wishes quickly exploded into a seismic shift in family power, unraveling secrets, betrayals, and dangerous suspicions that will ripple across the community for months to come.

Monica’s Will Reading: A Legacy Rewritten

The Quartermaine mansion, once the bustling heart of family chaos and endless battles over ELQ stock, was steeped in grief following Monica’s passing. Yet beneath the mourning lay something darker—suspicion, speculation, and a sharp awareness that whatever Monica left behind would forever reshape not only the Quartermaine dynasty, but also the very balance of Port Charles itself.

Tracy Quartermaine, who had long viewed herself as the family’s matriarch-in-waiting, arrived with confidence but carried unease in her heart. For decades, she had fought corporate wars and family betrayals, always landing on top. But Monica’s absence created a dangerous vacuum—and in that void stood Veronica “Ronnie” Bard, a woman Tracy saw as an outsider with no rightful claim to the family’s fortune.

Rumors whispered of private letters Monica entrusted to Ronnie, of secrets shared in her final days. As the attorney began the will’s reading, the family leaned in with dread and expectation. Ned tightened his grip on his hands, Brook Lynn fiddled nervously with her bracelet, and Michael’s eyes betrayed the anxiety his stoic face tried to hide. Jason, as always, stood apart, silent but watchful.

The opening bequests—charitable donations, small personal gifts—passed quietly. But then came the moment that changed everything:

Monica left the Quartermaine mansion, the crown jewel of the estate, to Ronnie.

Gasps filled the room. Tracy’s face went pale, then red with fury. Her trembling hands gripped her chair as she accused Ronnie of manipulation, insisting she had twisted Monica’s trust during her final days. But Ronnie sat calmly, almost unnervingly so, reminding the family that Monica’s trust in her was deeper than most of theirs. The lawyer confirmed it, reading Monica’s words that praised Ronnie’s reliability and dedication to preserving the Quartermaine legacy.

For Tracy, it was a betrayal unlike any other—an assault not only on her pride but on her lifelong mission to protect the family’s dominance. And for the rest of the Quartermaines, the decision ignited a firestorm of doubt: Why Ronnie? What secrets had Monica confided in her? And what did it mean for the future of the family’s fractured empire?

The will’s reading ended not with closure, but with open warfare. Tracy stormed out, vowing in silence to destroy Ronnie’s newfound power—whether by contesting the will, uncovering Ronnie’s past, or turning the family against her. What Monica had intended as a final act of trust had instead sparked a Quartermaine civil war.

Anna’s Battle: Drew’s Shooter Exposed

Meanwhile, Anna Devane stood at the center of another storm entirely. The truth about the shooter who targeted Drew Cain had finally been confirmed—but rather than bringing peace, it unleashed chaos.

Anna, known for her discipline and sharp instincts, found herself tangled in a web of paranoia, mistrust, and shifting loyalties. The revelation didn’t just expose a violent crime—it threatened to collapse the delicate balance of secrecy and alliances that kept Port Charles from descending into pure chaos.

At the heart of the mess was Nina, whose obsession with preserving her connection to Willow pushed her into reckless decisions. Nina’s desperation to protect her fragile place in the family led her to manipulations, emotional outbursts, and even fabricated alibis—moves that undermined Anna’s investigation and placed everyone in greater danger.

The shooter’s bullet had done more than injure Drew. It had become a weapon of influence, tied to whispers of backroom deals and schemes designed to exploit the Quartermaine family’s turmoil after Monica’s death. The overlap of family inheritance drama and criminal conspiracy suggested a broader war was coming, one where money was only a tool in a much larger fight for power.

Anna’s greatest challenge wasn’t the shooter’s identity—it was stopping Port Charles itself from unraveling. But the harder she pushed, the more she saw her own reflection in Nina’s dangerous obsession. The line between justice and obsession blurred, and Anna feared she might be consumed by the very storm she was trying to control.

Michael Targeted: Poison Accusations and Paranoia

As if the Quartermaine family wasn’t fractured enough, Michael Corinthos found himself blindsided by accusations that he had poisoned Drew. What began as whispers quickly hardened into suspicion, leaving Michael cornered and vulnerable.

For Michael, the charge struck at the very core of his identity. Already torn between his Corinthos roots and his Quartermaine bloodline, he now faced the possibility of being branded a traitor to both. The more he denied the allegations, the guiltier he appeared, until paranoia began to consume him.

Every denial fed the narrative that he was hiding something. Every attempt to protect the family only deepened their mistrust. The once-stable heir to two powerful legacies now looked like a man unraveling—and Port Charles was all too eager to watch.

Carly vs. Liz: A Betrayal Ignites a New War

If Monica’s will fractured the Quartermaines, and Drew’s shooting destabilized Anna’s world, then Carly Corinthos’s betrayal by Elizabeth Webber threatened to burn everything down.

When Carly learned that Liz had tipped off the authorities against her, the betrayal struck like a knife. Their history—already marked by rivalry, jealousy, and grudges—exploded into open warfare. Liz’s accusation tied Carly directly to Drew’s shooting, painting her as a potential conspirator at the very moment Port Charles was most eager to assign blame.

For Carly, it was more than suspicion—it was humiliation. Already reeling from Monica’s death and the fallout within the Quartermaines, she now stood accused in a crime that could destroy her reputation, her family, and her fragile alliances. Her fury burned hotter than her fear, propelling her into dangerous territory where emotion clouded judgment and retaliation seemed inevitable.

Anna, already struggling to keep her investigation from collapsing, now faced an impossible choice: treat Carly as a suspect or risk being accused of favoritism and corruption.

Either way, Port Charles braced itself for the fallout.

Port Charles on the Brink

The events of October 3rd left the entire city teetering on the edge.

• The Quartermaine War: Tracy and Ronnie stand on opposite sides of a battle for the mansion and the family’s soul, with Jason quietly watching from the shadows, perhaps ready to reclaim his role.

• The Drew Investigation: Anna’s control slips as Nina’s instability, Portia’s scheming, and Michael’s unraveling paranoia muddy the truth.

• Carly vs. Liz: Two of Port Charles’s fiercest women now find themselves locked in a war that mixes personal betrayal with life-or-death stakes.

What began as a will reading became a declaration of war. What should have been the end of a chapter in Monica’s life is instead the explosive beginning of new rivalries, betrayals, and revelations that will shake Port Charles to its core.

In the shadows of Monica’s mansion and in the streets of a city already drowning in secrets, power is shifting, alliances are breaking, and the storm has only just begun.
