Laura Collins is done backing down. General Hospital spoilers for January 5 tease that Laura stands her ground as pressure mounts from all sides, refusing to compromise her values even when the stakes are higher than ever.

Power plays, courtroom pressure, and dangerous choices collide as Port Charles braces for fallout.

The General Hospital spoilers for Monday, January 5, 2026, focus on Laura standing her ground. Meanwhile, Dante is called back to the witness stand.

Refusing to Back Down
Laura (Genie Francis) has already had it up to here with being under Sidwell’s thumb. Now she has to approve helipads on Spoon Island and the waterfront property so the criminal warlord can go where he pleases, when he pleases, as quickly as possible? Laura will probably go along, but she won’t want to. Plus, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) made a not-so-veiled threat about Ace’s safety.

Needless to say, the weekly spoilers reveal that Laura will stand her ground. She is someone who will take action in any way she can. For one, she will tell Kevin (Jon Lindstrom, who’s currently pulling double duty) to take that gig in Ireland and to take Ace (Karis and Kieran Barry) with him. And with Ace gone, she can feel freer to tell Sidwell where to go.

Alexis Targets Michael
While Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) wisely refrains from entering that anonymous note into the proceedings, she plans to build the case against Michael (Rory Gibson) on her own. She will call everyone who can testify to the fact that Michael is a viable suspect and should probably be the one on trial, rather than Willow (Katelyn MacMullen).

This means Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) gets called back to the stand. He is aware of all the evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, against Michael. Plus, because Dante is Michael’s brother, his bias can be called into question. How will Dante hold up on the stand this time?

Hardcore Michael Cheerleader
It appears that Kristina (Kate Mansi) is one of Michael’s biggest cheerleaders. It really feels that she will go to bat for him, whether he shot Drew (Cameron Mathison) or not. So it’s not surprising to see that Kristina makes a tempting offer.
