Objection, Counselor! Will General Hospital’s Monet Mitchell Turn Curtis Ashford’s Appeal Into A Love Triangle?

MONET MITCHELL ISN’T ONLY FIGHTING FOR CURTIS ASHFORD’S FREEDOM

TL;DR: Nothing is confirmed, but with Jordan Ashford overseas recovering and Monet Mitchell holding Curtis Ashford’s appeal in her hands, the theory is that a lawyer who already cares too much could turn his fight for freedom into a General Hospital love triangle with a family betrayal attached.

A Lawyer With A Lot Of Feelings About Her Sister’s Boyfriend

Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard) is putting more into Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) than a legal fee covers. She built the hero narrative that made him sympathetic, lined up the interviews, dropped by the hospital to plot, and then visited him in Pentonville on Wednesday, November 4 to gush that the article was doing exactly what she wanted.

She also can’t stop asking about his girlfriend, which is the tell. The first thing she wanted to know that day was what Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) thought, and she looked crushed when Curtis hadn’t told her. Monet arrived in September with a dig at Jordan’s scars and a promise that moving to town was the “least of what you deserve.” People that invested in someone’s approval are rarely indifferent to that someone’s man.

Meanwhile, the woman in the way is fighting for her own recovery. Jordan spent November 4 in a Baden-Baden clinic with a fever-driven infection, doctors wary of treatment because of her sole kidney, and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) promising to be at her bedside when she woke up. Her health comes first here. But the empty chair back in Port Charles is hard to ignore.

Every Prison Visit Is A Date With A Deadline

Curtis wants to be home before Desmond’s first Christmas, and that clock gives Monet Mitchell every excuse to keep showing up. He pushes to file now, she explains the risks of filing early, and they argue the calendar in a visiting room that gets awfully cozy. Then the Wednesday, November 18 spoilers say Monet opens up to Curtis, which is a phrase nobody writes about a lawyer unless the client is about to hear something personal.

Sisters Keep Score, And Monet Has Years Of Points

A betrayal this diabolical would hit harder because of the history. Monet Mitchell kept her connection to Jordan from Curtis when she took his case, saying she wanted to be seen as a capable lawyer first because Jordan always treated her like the little sister who couldn’t do anything right. Imagine what winning Jordan’s man would say about that scoreboard.

Curtis, to be fair, has a woman who promised to wait for him, and it would take a long stretch of loneliness, a lot of gratitude toward the woman getting him home, and one wrong visit to cross that line. Lawyers and clients have been crossing it on soaps forever. Doing it with your sister’s boyfriend while she heals overseas is the version that earns a slap.

Which storyline has you the most obsessed? Drop it in the comments below, we’re dying to talk about this!

Whose Side Is Monet Really On?

Jordan is overseas, Curtis is counting days, and Monet Mitchell is holding the appeal. If the lawyer steps over the line, does Curtis stop her or follow her? And when Jordan comes home to the truth, who does she blame first, her man or her little sister?
