General Hospital: Stella’s Shocking Scheme to Force Curtis & Portia Back Together for Baby

General Hospital saw Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) just gave birth to her and Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) baby, and Aunt Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) already warned them they need to get it together and coexist peacefully because it is what is best for their newborn baby.

But I don’t think Stella’s happy about the baby being born to split up parents. We know that Curtis’s aunt is a class A meddler and she’s not a fan of Isaiah Gannon. (Sawandi Wilson). We’re going to talk about what happens if Stella starts plotting to get Curtis and Portia back together.

General Hospital: Stella’s Meddlesome History

So, back when Curtis was married to Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) and they were getting a divorce, if you remember, Stella did her level best to meddle them into a reunion. She even stole their divorce papers off Jordan’s desk when she was police commissioner.

And then Stella had a stroke and the papers were tossed out and it was a big mess. But she wanted Curtis and Jordan to stay married that badly. And there wasn’t even a kid involved back then. And now with a baby in the mix along with Curtis and Portia’s grown kid, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stella gets to meddling again so that they will be raising their son Desmond together, not as divorced co-parents.

Stella already tried as hard as she could to convince Portia and Curtis to stick to their marriage and not get a divorce. And she doubled down once Stella found out that Portia was pregnant. Stella really wanted them to make it work, not just for the baby. But for Curtis and Portia themselves.

But their marriage was too broken. Curtis had moved on emotionally with Jordan. And then he walked out on his marriage when Portia said, “If you go now, we are done.” And off Curtis went. So I have zero sympathy. And I don’t think that Portia did anything wrong by sleeping with Isaiah because it was Curtis who decided to end their marriage. So, Portia was free to move on.

Stella’s Meddling and Baby Desmond’s Future on GH

But Stella and Curtis don’t see it that way. Both of them think Isaiah was sleeping with Curtis’s wife. I mean, technically, sure, but that marriage was irretrievably done. Stella has been very accepting of Jordan since she and Curtis reunited. And I don’t think Stella has anything against Jordan. She even called her family after she delivered the baby.

But once the reality of baby Desmond’s delivery sinks in, we could see a change in Stella’s stance and she may get back into busybody mode and start interfering. We saw her boss Portia and Curtis around and Stella tried to keep Isaiah out of the way so that Portia, Curtis, and the baby could have family bonding time. But Stella may want more than that. She may get it in her head that Curtis and Portia need to reunite.

General Hospital: Stella Wants What’s Best

Stella may understandably think that little Desmond deserves to be in a family altogether being raised by a married mother and father and Stella might think that it’s best for Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) as well if they reunite. So, if Stella meddles, of course it will come from a place of love. She thinks she knows what’s best and in the end if Stella meddles, I don’t think it’s because she dislikes Jordan or Isaiah. I do think Stella’s more fond of Jordan than she is of Isaiah. But I do think Stella respects him as a doctor, and she thinks he’s a good man despite Curtis’s insane and baseless accusations against Isaiah.

But I think Stella’s fine if Isaiah and Jordan get hurt so long as little Desmond gets the family that Stella thinks he deserves. She may already be thinking about baby Desmond being shuffled around home to home, bouncing, alternating days, being raised in two different households, and Stella might be bothered, like Curtis is, by the idea of Isaiah helping raise Desmond alongside Portia.

Curtis Still Salty on GH

We know Curtis is still deeply hurt that he was cheated out of the chance to help raise Trina. And now Curtis is annoyed with Isaiah being involved. And it doesn’t help that Portia snapped at Curtis recently and said she’s glad she didn’t let him help raise Trina.

She said it was the right thing to do. It was also really bothersome to Curtis that Isaiah was there holding the baby and watching Portia, Isaiah, and Desmond looking like a little family while Curtis was literally on the outside looking in through the window.

And a lot of fans talked about how quiet and happy baby Desmond was when Isaiah was holding him and then was crying his head off when Curtis was holding him. The GH fandom, a lot of them are still hoping that Isaiah is the real biological father and Portia’s paternity test was tampered.

General Hospital: Stella’s Schemes and Collateral Damage

So, I expect pretty soon Stella’s going to speak separately to Portia and Curtis. Stella may float the idea of them reconciling because it’d be best for the baby and Stella may be certain that Curtis and Portia still love each other deep down. I disagree. I think whatever love they had is dead and gone.

So, if Stella brings this up to Curtis and Portia, I think they’ll both shut it down. And then we could see Stella doing some plotting, some scheming with the idea that she’s doing the right thing for that beautiful little baby Desmond. Even if Isaiah and Jordan are collateral damage, I think she’d still do it.

So, I could see Stella doing some matchmaking, setting up situations. She may try and get Curtis and Portia alone with Desmond and then distract Isaiah and Jordan to keep them out of it. But I also think Curtis and Portia will realize what Stella’s doing if she tries this. I think they would probably call her out.

Because I mean, Portia and Curtis both were part of ripping their marriage apart. Portia’s lies about Trina broke her and Curtis. And when Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) was blackmailing Portia, she kept that hidden. That made things worse. And at the same time, Curtis was having a blatant emotional affair with his ex-wife, Jordan.

Stella’s Scheme on GH

So, here’s what I expect to see. Since Stella’s got a promotion and has more administrative power at General Hospital, she might have some control over scheduling, you know. So, Stella might finagle things to keep Isaiah away from Portia. We could see Stella stick him working nights and weekends and then she might influence what hours Portia keeps as a doctor so that she’s working days and has weekends off. That way pretty much Isaiah and Portia might be living separate lives.

So, Stella might also encourage Jordan to go to that German clinic to get her face fixed, knowing that that would have her gone for a while and out of Curtis’ life. So that would be one less person for Stella to have to try and distract. I could also see Stella working on Trina, trying to get her to help pull Curtis and Portia together. Stella can set up family events for Trina and Curtis, Portia, and little Desmond during times when Stella knows that she can get Isaiah and Jordan out of the way.

General Hospital: No Future for Curtis & Portia

I’m also still half convinced that Stella might have tampered that DNA test. But I think no matter what she tries, I don’t see Curtis and Portia getting back together. At one point, you know, she was desperate to hang on to Curtis. But now Portia’s over him. She’s falling for Isaiah. And I think he’s all in with Portia. I wouldn’t be surprised if Isaiah plans to propose soon. And I think Stella will lose it completely if she gets wind of that.

I fully expect meddling with Curtis and Portia soon. But we’ll see what Stella does. Curtis still also has his criminal trial coming soon. And when that starts, it’s going to get messy between Jordan, Isaiah, Curtis, and Portia because Jordan already tried to blame Portia for Curtis facing those criminal charges. I honestly think it is Jordan’s fault for causing that wreck.

Of course, Curtis’ fault for assaulting Isaiah and accusing him just because he doesn’t like him. And if Stella tries to reunite them, I think she’s wrong to do it. Curtis and Portia are not going to be in a healthy relationship again. The best I think they can hope for is amicable co-parents to Desmond and Trina. But their love, I think, is dead and gone.
