General Hospital: Portia’s Paternity Bombshell Explodes – Did Stella Switch the DNA Results?

General Hospital reveals Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) just gave birth to her baby. And of course, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) helped deliver the adorable little boy after harassing Portia into labor.

We’re going to have Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) meeting his newborn son very soon. And I’m just wondering if there is one more big twist in store. We’re going to discuss the possibility that Aunt Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) tampered with Portia’s paternity test.

General Hospital: Portia & Jordan Work Together

Now, I know a lot of fans would be excited if it turns out that is not Curtis’ kid. After Jordan came in hot, spilling trash about how Portia is to blame for Curtis facing criminal and civil charges, that’s when Portia went into labor and then Jordan showed back up to help deliver Portia’s son.

And it’s a good thing, too, because Portia’s been pregnant since last August. That baby was so overdue. But she wasn’t happy to see Jordan bust back into her house. But the choice between Jordan being there or Portia giving birth alone made her push through her dislike of Curtis’ girlfriend. So Jordan called an ambulance, but they must have gotten lost in traffic or on Route 98.

So her helping Portia give birth was potentially this game-changing moment for Jordan and Portia. But to be honest, I don’t think she owes Jordan any grace after the way she’s acted. Because Portia’s right. Curtis doesn’t deserve any mercy considering he’s not sorry that he attacked Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson). Zero remorse and is planning to attack him again in court, just not physically.

Stella Tries to Chase Isaiah Away on GH

So, I’m sure the ambulance shows up soon to take Portia and her newborn son to General Hospital. And this week, Curtis goes up to General Hospital and Portia says, “Meet your son.” So, when Isaiah shows up to check on Portia, we’re going to see Stella trying to chase Isaiah off.

And Aunt Stella tells him to give Curtis and Portia a minute. But it doesn’t look like Isaiah listens to Stella or gives them literally just a minute because Isaiah interrupts Portia and Curtis while they are cooing over their little bundle of joy. So I’m guessing Isaiah showing up may trigger Curtis.

Hopefully he’ll behave. A GH spoiler for Summer says that Isaiah and Curtis temporarily put aside their differences for the sake of family. So, things might be a little tense, but with Portia’s little baby boy just born and Curtis over the moon happy, I’m just wondering if there is a twist ahead.

General Hospital: Stella’s Meddling Past and Paternity Test Theory

Because if you remember when Portia and Curtis’s marriage was falling apart, Stella urged both of them not to give up. She was kind of relentless. And we all know Stella loves to meddle in other people’s business, especially Curtis’. But Stella really, really wanted Curtis and Portia’s marriage to work.

Stella wanted it to work, even after Curtis and Portia had completely given up on that marriage. When Stella noticed that Portia and Isaiah seemed a little closer than boss and employee, we saw Stella going into busybody mode. And she was questioning Portia about how close she was to Isaiah. At the time, Portia assured Stella that she and Isaiah were just friends.

But after Curtis walked out on Portia, when she said, “If you go, we’re done,” that was when she hooked up with Isaiah. But their marriage was over. And Curtis was the one who triggered the split by walking out. So when Aunt Stella found out that Portia was pregnant, she was happy, assuming automatically that it was Curtis’ kid.

Once Stella knew Portia had a bun in the oven, she was even more adamant that Curtis and Portia needed to save their marriage for the baby’s sake. And then, of course, thanks to Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) attempted murder trial, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) dragged out on the stand that Portia had an alibi because she was with Isaiah that night.

Of course, Stella wasn’t happy to hear Portia moved on with Isaiah. And then there was the paternity test anxiety with Portia not knowing whether Curtis or Isaiah was her baby’s father.

Portia’s Hopes Dashed on GH

While Portia was very nervous about the results of the test, Isaiah was quite excited at the prospect of being a father. And of course, Curtis was acting out already. Then when Portia got her paternity test results, she said, “Curtis is the dad.” He was so happy and so was Stella.

But Isaiah was disappointed and Portia was too because that meant eighteen more years of Curtis in her life being annoying. Stella was excited though and I’m sure she would have been thrilled if Portia and Curtis reconciled and put their marriage back together. But he’s locked in with Jordan and Portia’s falling for Isaiah. She was basically living at his cabin until Curtis handed her the house.

So, picture this. Stella was extremely invested in that baby being Curtis’. And Stella knows that Portia cheated Curtis out of the chance to raise Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) by telling someone that he was Trina’s father. So maybe Stella thought Portia owed Curtis. Plus, Stella was really bothered by her assumption that Portia was cheating with Isaiah. I don’t agree with that assumption.

General Hospital: The Dissolve?

Portia and Curtis were married only on paper. He walked out on his marriage to Portia and he knew it was over and it was all because of his emotional cheating with Jordan. And in fact, Portia told Curtis, “If you walk out the door, our marriage is done.” He looked at Portia, he walked out. So, Curtis made the choice. It was done. But in Stella’s mind, Portia was unfaithful. Curtis’s mind, too.

So, Stella may think Isaiah didn’t deserve to be a father, and her precious Curtis did. And with that in mind, it’s easy to see why Stella might have rigged that paternity test. And don’t forget, she works at the hospital. She has access. She might have been able to slip into the lab, alter the results, and might have thought Curtis deserved to be a dad more than Isaiah did.

Stella’s History as a Busybody on General Hospital

And Stella might have wanted to punish Isaiah for sleeping with Curtis’ wife. Stella might even justify it in her mind that it’s the best thing for everyone. And this would not be the first time Stella has meddled in a major way. Do you remember when Jordan and Curtis were getting a divorce? Stella thought that that shouldn’t be happening. And Jordan signed the divorce papers. She put them in her outgoing mail in her office back when she was police commissioner.

Stella really wanted Curtis and Jordan to stay together. So, Stella stole the divorce papers. She put that envelope in her purse so the divorce wouldn’t be finalized. And eventually Stella was like, “Okay, they’re not getting back together.” She was going to mail them, but then she had a stroke and she spilled coffee on the envelope and it was tossed out, I think, at Bobbie’s Diner. It didn’t come out until right before Curtis and Portia were getting married and Curtis had to refile the divorce because he and Jordan both thought it went through.

Paternity Bombshell Coming on General Hospital?

So yeah, given Stella’s access at General Hospital and her tendency to meddle, I think certainly she might have tampered with Portia’s paternity test. And with the baby born, there could be a medical crisis coming and that could reveal that Curtis scientifically can’t be the dad and that Isaiah is, you know, blood type, some kind of matching for a donor, one of those kinds of things.

And at this point, given how toxic Curtis has been, assaulting Isaiah, raging around like a jerk, a lot of fans would love to find out Curtis isn’t really the dad of that cute little baby boy. But even if Stella did some tampering, I wouldn’t expect it to come out right away. For a big twist like that, it feels like a sweeps moment.

July sweeps ends on Monday, and our next sweeps is November. I think that would give us time to get through Curtis’s criminal trial, for Isaiah to drag Curtis into civil court for damages, for the injuries he did in his assault, and for Curtis to make demands on Portia about the baby.

I’m sure he’s going to get high-handed and try and tell Portia that Isaiah shouldn’t be around their baby because he left the scene of the accident. Lots more nonsense because Curtis is certain with zero evidence that Isaiah left the scene of the accident that Jordan caused to start with. So, we’ll have to wait and see. But karma may be coming for Curtis compliments of Aunt Stella being exposed if she did this thing.
