“Diane dropped the ball” — General Hospital fans slam missed opportunities in Willow’s cross-examination

During the current developments of the popular daytime soap opera General Hospital, tensions have been rising in Port Charles as the courtroom takes center stage. Diane, who is representing Michael Corinthos in the custody battle trial, has failed to mention some points crucial to the trial. Michael shared that Wiley overheard a conversation in which Drew expressed that he did not want Wiley and Amelia in Michael's life, and Diane failed to confront Willow about this.

Many fans of the General Hospital have been raising their voices about the current situation and sharing their opinions on the same. In a recent discussion post shared by another fan on Facebook, a fan by the name of Jenny Hoffman-Sinker commented,

"I thought Diane dropped the ball too! When Willho was talking about how they were going to compromise and Micheal changed his attitude, I thought Diane would say “what happened “? Then that would’ve been brought out about what Drew said to Wiley. Bc you know she would’ve defended Drewfuss all the way! Then the judge would have heard how much she puts Drewfuss before her own children!"

Jenny commented on a discussion post started by another fan named Dawn Shewmaker on Facebook on June 11, 2025. Dawn wrote,

"Willow just completely rewrote history, claiming that her and Michael's marriage was over and they were just going through the motions. That is complete and utter BS. ............ As much as I hate to say it, Ric was much more effective against Michael. Which does not give me warm fuzzies about what the writers are going to have the judge decide. Lol"

Here's everything that happened in the courtroom in General Hospital

In the recent episode of the daytime soap opera General Hospital, which aired on June 9, 2025, shocking news came to light as Michael revealed to Willow that their son, Wiley, overheard a conversation between her boyfriend, Drew, and her lawyer, Ric. The conversation had been staged by Drew, and he made sure that Wiley heard when he said his father, Michael, would leave them for a life with the new baby he had with Sasha.

Before the trial started, he confronted Willow about it and revealed how upset Wiley was after hearing this. However, Willow defended Drew and responded that he was making it up. The two got into an argument that ended with Michael claiming Willow chose Drew over their children. However, when Drew entered the scene and Willow confronted him about it, he denied the accusation made against him by Michael.
