General Hospital's Nina is heartbroken, but I'm finding it hard to feel bad for her
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Finally! The worst-kept secret in Port Charles is finally out as General Hospital's Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) has learned about Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) sleeping together before she got involved with the loathsome congressman. Curtis (Donnell Turner) spilled the beans to Willow before she walked down the aisle to marry Drew, hoping Willow would end things with Drew and Drew would pack up and move to Washington, DC. Considering she spends the end of the July 25 episode walking down the aisle of the church, I can't say whether she'll break up with Drew for good or not. I'm holding out hope that this spells the end of #Drillow, but her thinking is so warped these days, she may marry him if she believes it will help win her kids back in court. Now, before Willow actually started walking down the aisle in her wedding dress, she had the ultimate showdown with Nina in a room in the back of the church. MacMullen offered some great scenes as Willow, blasting her bio mom for holding this salacious secret for over a year. Willow blamed Nina for watching as she destroyed her marriage and family by falling for a man who had been lying to her from the beginning. She even blamed Nina for losing custody of her children to Michael (Rory Gibson). In an especially gut-wrenching scene, Willow claimed to be envious of Nelle (Chloe Lanier), who was fortunate enough to go to her grave not knowing Nina was her biological mother. Talk about an 'ouch moment.' Before Nina slunk off in tears, Willow made it crystal clear that she was done with Nina and wanted nothing more to do with her. This all brings me to my point. Although Nina was sobbing in tears, knowing she hurt her only living child and realizing Willow may never speak to her again, I don't feel bad for her. The Crimson Magazine editor has had ample opportunity to tell Willow the truth. She could have told her daughter about her romps in the hay with Drew way back when Willow first expressed an interest in Drew and kissed him. Nina could have also shared the truth with Willow any time before she officially divorced Michael. Heck, Nina revealing the truth could have spared Willow a painful custody hearing, one she lost. What doesn't help my callous feelings toward Nina is the fact that she didn't learn a lesson from her marriage to Sonny (Maurice Benard). That relationship imploded because Nina kept lying instead of being honest. They'd arguably still be together if she realized that most people don't like being lied to, no matter how hard the truth is to receive. Perhaps if Nina is subjected to more cruelty from Willow, I'll find an ounce of sympathy for her. But for now, I'm just shrugging my shoulders. On a final note, do you think like I do that Willow may be headed for a stint in Ferncliff? New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.

General Hospital spoilers: Willow and Michael face two big obstacles to a reunion?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. You'd be hard pressed to find a General Hospital fan that's not applauding the downfall of Drew (Cameron Mathison) and the end of the dreaded #Drillow. Finally aware that he slept with her mother, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) scolded Drew in an epic showdown on her would-be wedding day and swore to be done with him for good. It may have taken over a year for us to get here, but thankfully, we've made it and Willow has woken up. While we suppose there is always a chance that Drew could manage to sweet-talk Willow back into a reconciliation, we actually think she meant what she said when she professed to being done with the congressman. Sleeping with Nina (Cynthia Watros) was one thing, but manipulating her children (i.e., making sure Wylie [Viron Weaver] heard him stating Michael [Rory Gibson] didn't want him anymore) placed him in a place there's no coming back from. With that being said, and now that Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) is out of the picture, some General Hospital fans believe a reunion is in the cards for Michael and Willow. Since this is the soap world, we certainly can't rule that out. However, there is so much bad blood between the exes that they'd have to be really committed to doing the hard work and have a love that's still there to get past all of their transgressions. We've taken the liberty to come up with two of the biggest hurdles to a #Millow reunion, and that starts with Willow herself. In the aftermath of losing custody of her children, Willow stalked Sasha and baby Daisy as payback. Willow's actions went so far that she sent Sasha packing, leaving Michael without ready access to his newborn daughter. If Michael were to ever learn that, he'd likely become enraged. Sadly, with Drew having an inkling of Willow's heinous actions and him being Drew, we can't rule out that he'll tell Michael to sabotage a reconciliation. A second obstacle comes in the form of Mini-Carly, aka Josslyn (Eden McCoy). We'd usually say Mama Bear Carly (Laura Wright) would be strictly opposed to Michael and Willow getting back together, but Carly, at her core, has always liked Willow. She loathes that Willow hurt her son, but Carly was like a mother figure to Willow at one point, and they shared a close bond before Drew. Carly may have blasted Willow several times when news of the affair broke, even likening Willow to Nelle (Chloe Lanier), but we think Carly always felt bad that Willow allowed herself to be manipulated by Drew. Plus, Carly may not cause too much of a fuss about a possible reunion if she knows it will make her grandchildren happy, and a reunion is done in a truthful and non-toxic manner. This brings us back to Josslyn. The newly minted WSB agent loves her brother and has scolded Willow more than anyone has. Josslyn is very protective of her brother and may not want to see him go down a path with Willow that sees him hurting again. While soapy affairs aren't new, and Josslyn herself has cheated in a relationship, Willow cheated with her husband's uncle, good friend and business partner wrapped in one. That's pretty low. And Josslyn may love her nephew and niece, but we wouldn't put it past her to devise a scheme to ensure Michael and Willow become nothing more than good co-parents. So, are Willow and Michael going to try and reconcile? Would they stand a chance with her secret about Sasha and Daisy out there, or with Josslyn around Port Charles?

General Hospital spoilers: Michael's big decision about the kids?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. General Hospital spoilers say that Michael (Rory Gibson) has a big decision to make, and that decision probably has to do with his ex-wife Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Michael has tried in the past to work out a split custody arrangement with Willow because he knows it's important for the kids to have a good relationship with their mother. Her relationship with Drew made that impossible. But now that Willow has left Drew, Michael has to decide whether or not to let Willow be part of the kids' lives. The custody hearing is still months away, but Michael knows it would hurt the kids to not see their mom for months. Michael could choose to let Willow be around the kids if someone is there to supervise them, so she doesn't kidnap them or do something impulsive or crazy. He does seem to want to let the kids have time with their mom. Can Willow really be trusted though? Yes, she left Drew. But Willow is not the same. She's a shell of her former self, and she has given up all control of her life to Drew. That's not going to go away overnight. Just because she walked away from marrying Drew that doesn't mean she's going to be in the right mental state to have any kind of shared custody. Drew also has already bulldozed his way into the Q mansion demanding to see Willow, so until that relationship is really done it's definitely not safe for the kids to be around Willow. Drew could come barging in and scare them at any time. Michael knows that Willow loves the kids. And now he knows that she isn't with Drew any longer. However, he doesn't know that Willow is the reason that Sasha (Sofia Mattson) had to flee Port Charles to keep baby Daisy safe. If he finds out that Willow was the one sneaking into the Quartermaine mansion and moving Daisy around he probably won't let her anywhere near Wiley or Amelia even without Drew in her life. The smart move here would be for Drew to tell Willow she needs to get her own apartment or house so she has a stable home for the kids before she can spend time with them. And, she needs to make sure Drew knows their relationship is over for good. If she can demonstrate that's getting her independence back, then he could let her see the kids. Some counseling wouldn't hurt, either. Michael's big decision could also have to do with his father, Sonny (Maurice Benard) or with Kristina (Kate Mansi) now that he knows she tried to kill Ava (Maura West). But it's more likely that the big decision will be whether or not leaving Drew is enough to earn Willow the chance to spend time with her kids again. No one wants a mother to be separated from her children. However, Willow let Drew change her, and she needs to prove that she can be a calm and stable presence in the kids' lives before she's allowed to see them regularly. Hopefully, Michael will make Willow stay away from the kids until he's sure can put them first. New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC.

Should You Buy IonQ Stock Before Aug. 6?
Key Points IonQ is a popular pure-play quantum computing stock pick. Investing in IonQ is far riskier than in many of the big tech companies involved with quantum computing. 10 stocks we like better than IonQ › IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) has been one of the top pure-play quantum computing stock picks recently. It is taking a unique approach to quantum computing, which could pay off massively in the end. Although the stock has had an impressive run over the past few months, a single announcement can send shares soaring. One of those could be coming on Aug. 6, when IonQ announces Q2 results. But is that a good enough reason to buy the stock now? IonQ must be successful, or the stock will become worthless IonQ's popularity stems from its pure-play status. While there are many competitors in this exciting and emerging industry, IonQ is a more attractive investment option (alongside its pure-play peers) than some of the big tech companies due to the potential returns. IonQ is only an $11 billion company by market cap, making it quite small compared to some of its largest competitors, whose market caps are valued in the trillions. Should IonQ win the quantum computing arms race, the upside could be immense. However, there is also a downside to being this small. The biggest factor is resources. One giant in the quantum computing industry is Alphabet. Its Willow chip kicked off the latest round of quantum computing interest in December last year, and its technology is among the top in the quantum computing world. Alphabet also has nearly an unlimited amount of resources to throw at this technology. Over the past 12 months, it generated nearly $70 billion in free cash flow. Sparing an extra $1 billion or so to fund quantum computing research would hardly be anything for Alphabet, yet that much money would be a huge deal for IonQ. IonQ has few revenue streams outside various research contracts that it has won, as commercial viability is still being established. So it must wisely spend what cash it has on hand. It can always raise more capital by issuing more shares or taking on debt, but neither of those options is great for shareholders. This raises another important point with IonQ: It's an all-or-nothing proposition. With a large player like Alphabet, it has a legacy business that it can lean on while the quantum computing side of things gets up and running. For IonQ, it's success -- or the stock goes to $0. That all-or-nothing approach can result in a wide variety of investment outcomes, making the risk significantly higher with IonQ's stock than with one of the large quantum computing players. But as long as investors keep that in mind, IonQ could still be a viable investment opportunity. But does that mean investors should scoop up shares now before IonQ's Q2 earnings report? IonQ likely wouldn't wait until quarterly earnings to announce big news There are only a handful of factors that will significantly impact IonQ's stock. The first is a new partnership or research agreement. These are often announced in press releases, and IonQ likely wouldn't wait until a quarterly report to announce something like this. Another item that could move the stock is a performance breakthrough, and once again, that's something that would be announced in a press release. There isn't a ton of news that investors are waiting on in the quarterly earnings report. As a result, waiting around for the report to be released isn't a smart investing strategy. If you believe in IonQ's trapped-ion approach or simply want exposure to the space, acquiring shares of IonQ now is a smart move, as it could announce groundbreaking performance at any time. However, investors should keep position sizing fairly small to compensate for the huge risk the stock represents. Do the experts think IonQ is a buy right now? The Motley Fool's expert analyst team, drawing on years of investing experience and deep analysis of thousands of stocks, leverages our proprietary Moneyball AI investing database to uncover top opportunities. They've just revealed their to buy now — did IonQ make the list? When our Stock Advisor analyst team has a stock recommendation, it can pay to listen.
