Port Charles is bracing for three of the most volatile weeks in recent memory as December unfolds. From wedding-day dread to mob wars, secret pregnancies, disturbing investigations, and emotional reunions, nearly every family finds themselves at a breaking point. This period—December 1 through December 18—promises heartbreak, upheaval, and revelations that will echo across town long after the holiday lights dim.

Willow’s Wedding-Day Panic — And Nina’s Growing Fear

As Willow Tate prepares for her wedding to Drew Kane, dread fills the air. The usually calm bride-to-be finds herself staring at her reflection, frozen by doubt. The gown feels heavy, her heart races, and for the first time, she truly asks herself whether she can bind her future to Drew’s.

Is this love?
Or is she about to make the biggest mistake of her life?

Nina Reeves, watching from the doorway, sees the emotional storm brewing behind her daughter’s trembling hands. Despite their long and painful history, Nina has sworn she will protect Willow no matter what—even if it means derailing the wedding itself.

If Willow chooses to run, Nina will help her disappear from the ceremony before anyone can stop her.

But Nina’s fears run far deeper than cold feet. She is torn between terrible possibilities:
• If Willow marries Drew, she may lose her independence entirely.
• If she backs out, Drew might retaliate.

And everyone knows Drew Kane does not handle public humiliation well.
Nina lies awake at night imagining the fallout—whether she can protect Willow from Drew’s pride, temper, or ambition if things collapse.
