In the August 13 episode of General Hospital, Curtis was found guilty of assaulting Isaiah and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Even after the verdict, Curtis still didn’t take responsibility for his actions. Instead, Curtis continued to blame Isaiah, proving he had learned nothing as sympathy for him mounted.
Key Takeaways
- Curtis’ guilty verdict shocked him.
- The new reality hasn’t changed his thinking.
- Curtis has let his arrogance control him, and it has cost him.
The Verdict Curtis Never Saw Coming
Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) arrived at the courthouse,e certain he would be acquitted. They were convinced that Curtis did nothing wrong and the jury would see it that way.
Even as Curtis talked to Trina (Tabyana Ali), it didn’t occur to him that things wouldn’t go his way. However, that’s what happened,d and the shock was written all over Curtis’ face as the verdict was read.
Curtis was crushed as the judge dealt the blow that his punishment for assaulting Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) was ten years at Pentonville with no chance of parole for two years. It almost made us feel sorry for Curtis because he looked so defeated, but then he reminded us why he got what he deserved.
It’s Still All Isaiah Fault
Martin (Michael E. Knight) offered to appeal Curtis’ case, but didn’t feel it would change anything. Curtis felt grateful for his help and vowed to do anything to not be separated from his family for at least two years.
Alone, Curtis and Jordan wallowed in the verdict, and he used his pity party to blame Isaiah. Once again, the narrative about Isaiah that Curtis created in his head was front and center.
The verdict did nothing to change Curtis’ tune that he had done nothing wrong. All it did was leave him feeling sorry for himself and frustrated that Isaiah would be part of his son’s life.
Jordan wasn’t any better as she declared to Isaiah that he got what he wanted: to destroy Curtis’ life.
The Situation Will Get Worse Before It Gets Better
Curtis is headed to prison. The new reality has only fueled his hatred for Isaiah, as opposed to having Curtis take responsibility for his actions.
From the jump, Curtis has insisted that Isaiah was the driver of the car without any proof. There’s no way that Curis will sit in prison, missing out on his son’s life while Isaiah is helping Porta (Brook Kerr) raise him.
Until Curtis can admit that he was at fault and wrong, or, at the very least, that he could be wrong about Isaiah, nothing will change. Curtis’ arrogance landed him in prison, not Isaiah.
If Curtis doesn’t change his tune soon, he’s going to pay a much higher price than two years behind bars. Curtis’ future as a father to his children is at stake, and it’s all because of his actions. Until he sees he is the problem, the drama will only heat up more.
