General Hospital Early Spoilers Aug 31-Sept 4: Drew Turns Rogue & Ava’s Scheme Detonates!

General Hospital spoilers for Aug 31-Sept 4, 2026 excite with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) doing some crime trying to cover up evidence of another of his crimes. Plus, Ava Jerome‘s (Maura West) trap explodes this week. But will it be on her target or is it going to blow up in Ava’s face?

Also, in the week of August 31st through September 4th, we’ve got Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) making threats. Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) is fighting more jealous feelings and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard)’s guilt is hitting him hard. Plus, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is pushing back.

And as we always do on early edition day, we go over what is happening the rest of this week and then we’re going to get into what is coming the week ahead. So, let’s get right to it.

General Hospital Spoilers: Tristan’s Past Revealed

Wednesday, August 26th on General Hospital, we’ve got Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) telling someone about his past. And at this point, we don’t know much. We know he’s a doctor and we also know he was a medic for the WSB because he was in Indonesia with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). So, maybe he’s talking to Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), but of course things are already tense between them.

He might also be talking to Josslyn since they were vibing after Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) introduced them. And we know that Dean Geyer chemistry tested with Eden McCoy. Brennan is getting nowhere with Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner). So it looks like he’s trying to get some kind of information from her at General Hospital.

We also have Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) in a rage. I suspect she is upset because Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) tells her she got leverage on someone by taping their conversation where he admitted to evidence tampering using WSB resources to help her. I think Nina is going to tell her daughter to delete it, but Willow claps back and tells Nina, “I’m not letting go of it until I get what I need.” Which of course she wants blackmail to use on Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson).

GH Spoilers: Kai Shocks Alexis

Alexis gets a surprise visit from Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup), who tells the lady lawyer something shocking. So, Kai says, “I’m pretty sure Willow tried to kill Drew – again.” Now Kai may tell Alexis about Drew trying to communicate and blinking to not tell Willow he can move. That’s valid, but I think Kai’s going to share his suspicion that Willow pushed Drew into the lake, which she definitely did not do and has an alibi for. Willow wasn’t even around when it happened. But I think this is why Alexis confronts Willow this week.

Also, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) makes it very clear who she is loyal to, and I’m assuming that’s her telling Drew that she’s sticking with her new boss, Michael. So, Jordan has a sit down with Drew, and asks if Michael is someone he is really willing to work with. History would tell us no, but I’m very curious if Drew is legit looking to play nice or if he wants to get close to Michael as part of his plan to target Sonny.

Simply put, I don’t trust Drew at all. We also have Sonny advising Michael and Sonny’s telling Michael something big. Sonny says, “I will regret that until the day I die.” So, it sounds like some sort of mistake from his past. Maybe they’re talking about Michael getting burned in the penthouse explosion or Sonny shooting Michael’s dad dead. Lots of things to choose from.

General Hospital Spoilers: Drew & Ava Plot

This week, Drew tells Ava he needs her to keep Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) busy so Drew can go search a hotel room. So, it looks like Drew gives her some stuff so that Ava can drug someone’s drink. I doubt that Nina is going to like it if she finds out that her good friend Ava is drugging someone to help Drew, whom Nina absolutely despises, and Ava knows all this.

Josslyn tells Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), “Accept my decision and do not interfere.” So, it sounds like Joss is telling Carly that she is going to run JJE, but I’m guessing that Joss is not going to tell Carly that she’s only doing this on the WSB‘s orders.

Also, this week, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) is in his prison cell and is stunned to see Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) right there. This is absolutely karma coming for Curtis for all the nastiness that he flung falsely at Isaiah Gannon (SawandiWilson). I don’t feel bad that Curtis is going to have to deal with Sidwell.

GH Spoilers: Emma & Gio Get an Earful

Then on Thursday, August 27th’s episode of General Hospital, Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) and Giovanni Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) hear some people arguing. Could be Alexis bickering with Willow because on Thursday, it looks like Alexis is hurling threats at Willow. So, Alexis tells Willow she knows that she shot Drew. And Alexis says she’s not going to stay quiet about it anymore.

So, she may tell Willow she’s going to the cops. Of course, she can’t be charged again. But this can be used in a custody case, used to get her out of Congress. You know, they could say she perjured herself on the stand. I’m curious if Alexis tries to blackmail Willow and says, “Find a way to get Drew to drop the restraining orders and I’ll sit on your dirty secret.” That could be interesting.

Drew is still hung up on getting revenge. We know he wants to get back at Nina and Willow, but Drew can’t do anything to them right now until he destroys the blackmail that someone has on him. Something shocks Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) on Thursday and Ava feels slighted by someone. So, this may be her new partner in crime, Drew, because she’s helping him with his dirty work against someone when really she wants to focus on Sonny. That was who their agreement was to go after.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava Springs into Action

Friday, August 28th on General Hospital, Ava gets her trap ready. So, this may be with her drugging Brennan as Drew asked, but how long until he goes back to his room if he’s drugged and groggy? And then somebody waylas Drew. This may be when he’s on his way to snoop in someone’s hotel room to look for that evidence.

Drew’s on a ticking clock and doesn’t have time to be interrupted. Sonny makes Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) a promise. I’m guessing this is something to do with her trip to see Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) and Ace Cassadine (Jay and Joey Clay) in Ireland. We also have Anna supportive of someone on Friday.

My first thought would be Emma, but Anna could be offering fake support while she’s toying with Britt on someone’s orders. Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and Carly make a decision about something on Friday, and it may be about him pursuing ELQ versus buying up Sidwell’s businesses to run. So, we’ll see.

GH Spoilers: Curtis Faces Rough Road Ahead

Then, the week of August 31st through September 4th, we’re going to see Curtis really struggling in prison, more so now that Sidwell is there in his face. I suspect things are gonna get real hard for Curtis thanks to Sidwell. He may even hurt Curtis to punish Jordan for betraying him. Sidwell also might try and set up Curtis so he won’t get that parole in two years like he’s hoping for.

Brooklyn and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) are headed for heartbreak when Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) claims Phoebe because he is going to fight to overturn that adoption at some point. I suspect Hudson may dig into the adoption attorney and may go see Alexis.

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali)’s stalker escalates soon. My money’s on Quinn (Jequan Jackson) the football guy who played with Kai, but record executive Simon (Grady Eldridge) is also super creepy, so he’s a candidate. We’ll see who acquires Sidwell’s assets when the police auction happens.

Looks like it’s going to be Sonny and Drew in a bidding war over those piers. Meanwhile, Valentin’s not planning to bid on those, but he does want some of Sidwell’s legit businesses. We’ll see fallout from Drew trying to get the evidence against him away from someone.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava Faces Nina

Ava may not get away with drugging someone. I’m betting he recognizes the signs and he may confront her, but Ava is a smooth talker who is all about lying and denying. But if Nina finds out, she will be angry at Ava.

We’re going to see more of Ric fighting his jealousy. Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) just talked him down, but I suspect Ric is triggered again about Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), and next time he may not be able to stop him from lashing out and saying something to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst).

We may see Anna targeting Britt soon, and also anyone who gets in her way. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and Jason may also be in danger from Anna as well. And we’re going to see more on Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and his new roommate, Detective Joe, with sparks flying soon.
