General Hospital Spoilers: Monica Strips Scout of Guardianship — Monica’s Shocking Will Rocks Port

Charles 

Port Charles is reeling after a stunned courtroom and an even more explosive revelation from Monica Quartermaine. In a move nobody saw coming, Monica uses her authority and influence to remove Scout’s current guardian status — and a newly produced addendum to her will drops a truth-bomb that sends shockwaves through the Quartermaine and Corinthos families.

What Happened: A Legal Bombshell

After a tense hearing sparked by concerns over Scout’s welfare, Monica presents emergency legal papers alleging that the child’s current caregiving situation is not in Scout’s best interests. The judge, swayed by Monica’s testimony and newly submitted evidence, temporarily strips the guardian of full decision-making power and places Scout under protective custody pending a full review.

Then, as if the courtroom fallout wasn’t enough, Monica unveils a sealed codicil to her will — a document that names an unexpected guardian (and ties the choice to a long-hidden family stipulation). The document forces everyone to confront not just custody questions, but long-buried Quartermaine family loyalties.

The Fallout: Family at War

• Monica’s Choice: The new guardian named in Monica’s will is someone many thought had been pushed to the margins — and that pick instantly alienates powerful family players.
• Tracy and Ned: Furious and feeling betrayed, Tracy lashes out, while Ned struggles between legal strategy and protecting the child he loves.
• Drew & Kim: Devastated and furious, Scout’s parents scramble to fight the temporary ruling — and to prove they are fit to care for their child. Drew vows to uncover what motivated Monica’s sudden intervention.
• Brook Lynn & Carly: Medical and emotional concerns explode into public arguments about the best environment for Scout — and whether Monica’s motives are truly protective or dangerously controlling.

The Mystery Behind Monica’s Move

Why did Monica act now? Insiders say the codicil references a health-related clause and a history file Monica had kept private — documents that allegedly show past incidents the family wanted buried. Monica insists she’s protecting Scout from hidden risks and fulfilling a promise tied to the Quartermaine legacy. Others suspect deeper motives: guilt, old grudges, or a final attempt to shape the family’s future.

What This Means Next

• A full custody hearing will play out over several episodes, with shocking testimony and surprises from unexpected witnesses.
• A secret file Monica referenced will be opened, revealing details that could exonerate — or further implicate — those currently caring for Scout.
• Tempers will flare; alliances will shift. Expect Drew to launch a desperate legal and emotional campaign to get Scout back, while Monica doubles down, convinced she’s doing the right thing.
• The codicil may carry a late twist: a conditional clause that hands guardianship to someone only if certain demands are met — demands that could cost the Quartermaines everything.

Final Tease

Monica’s act was meant to protect — but it may start a war. Between courtroom drama, family betrayal, and a will that refuses to stay buried, Port Charles faces its most personal showdown yet. Who will win custody of Scout? And what else will Monica’s papers expose?
