'General Hospital' is one of the longest-running dramas. However, despite 63 seasons, fans still cannot get enough. So, without any further ado, let's find out what's happening in episode 88.
General Hospital is a much-loved daytime television soap opera which has been broadcast on ABC since April 1, 1963. The show has been around for over six decades and has maintained its place as a guilty pleasure for fans. If you're looking forward to the latest episode of the show, here's what you need to know. Warning: Spoilers ahead!
The recent episode of General Hospital was released on January 19, 2026 (ET). The episode followed 'Willow's' verdict finally being reached. However, instead of a conclusion, it has created shockwaves among the fans. And as if that wasn't enough for one episode, 'Sonny' has made a cryptic offer, leaving 'Anna' horrified and honestly, the fans, too. Meanwhile, 'Drew' issues a warning to 'Nina', which further leaves 'Dante' conflicted. And like sprinkles on a very chaotic cake, 'Trina' changes her tune on 'Willow'.
General Hospital Season 66 Episode 88 began with 'Alexis' successfully defending 'Willow', despite knowing the truth about 'Drew's' real shooter. However, things get tricky when she chooses to side with 'Willow', assuming that 'Drew' will help her get access to her granddaughter, 'Scout', in return. 'Alexis' very confidently tells 'Drew', "I came through for you, I expect the same in return." However, if we know anything about the congressman, it's that he hardly ever plays fair.
While he has agreed to help 'Alexis' see her granddaughter now, it has also left 'Alexis' in a dilemma, as she has defended a guilty client and may face consequences once the truth comes out. Additionally, now that 'Willow' is free, she plans on framing 'Michael' for the shooting, which might further complicate things between 'Drew' and 'Alexis'.
Meanwhile, 'Trina' realises that 'Willow' being released might not be such a bad thing, at least for her. The latest episode of General Hospital Season 66 shows that she seems to have changed her mind about the case's outcome. While she knows 'Willow' is behind the shooting, her tune has changed: she told 'Kai', "Willow going free is not such a terrible thing after all."
It hasn't been that long since 'Trina' complained about injustice when 'Alexis' decided to defend 'Willow'. But now, her sudden shift in tone is raising eyebrows. Seems like 'Trina' believes in the saying, 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do', and has completely adjusted her mindset to the situation. On the other hand, 'Chase' is stunned when 'ADA Justine Turner' confronts him right after 'Willow's' big win in the court.
While 'Willow' has moved to the next phase of her plan, some people are still not over her walking free, including 'ADA Justine Turner', who is outraged by the case's outcome. In the latest episode of General Hospital Season 66, 'ADA Justine Turner' pointed the finger at where the case went wrong, and the first on her list just happens to be 'Chase'. Enraged by 'Willow's' trial's verdict, she threatens 'Chase' that he might be the one to see the inside of a prison soon. She was quoted as saying:
"Thanks to your interference, you may be the one who ends up in prison."
However, that was not all that happened in General Hospital Season 66 Episode 88. The show also brought a haunting reassurance for 'Michael'. In the episode, 'Sonny' vows that he won't let 'Michael' go down for shooting 'Drew', which will be interesting to see when 'Willow' has vowed to do just the opposite.
General Hospital Season 66 Episode 88 was, in the most simple terms, a combination of chaos, changing tunes and vows that contradict each other. While the divide was clearly visible, one person was left horrified by it all. The episode's latter bits leaned into 'Michael's' fears of when 'ADA Justine Turner' will come after him next. However, 'Sonny' has sworn that he won't let anything happen to his son. The doting father tells him, "I'm going to make sure you don't go down for this."
On the other hand, 'Drew' issues 'Nina' a warning after 'Willow's' court win. The congressman has been absolutely horrifying when he threatened 'Nina' not to meddle in his marriage. The man bluntly warns her not push 'Willow' to divorce him, especially now that the trial's over. However, it will be interesting to see whether 'Nina' will listen.
One might think that the makers will only drop one bombshell per episode, given that General Hospital is a weekly show. However, it's obvious they were wrong, as General Hospital Season 66 Episode 88 ends with 'Anna', who was already not feeling well, getting a not-so-happy surprise from the past. She recieves a call and hears 'Faison's' voice again through the speaker. Should she be worried? Well, that's a question for General Hospital Season 66 Episode 89.
