Port Charles may be bracing for one of its most delicate deceptions yet.

Spoilers suggest that Portia Robinson might not tell the full truth about the paternity of her baby — instead, she could claim Curtis Ashford is the father, even if that isn’t the case.

The setup is classic soap drama.

Portia is expected to receive positive pregnancy news soon, which comes at a moment when her relationships with both Curtis and Isaiah Gannon are tangled and combustible.

Because of her history — years ago she once allowed someone else to believe he was the father of her child — she’s no stranger to bending truth for protection or peace.

In her panic and fear, she may see declaring Curtis the dad as the safest lie. It gives her a familiar anchor, shields Isaiah from suspicion, and maintains what looks like stability. But the danger is clear: if Curtis ever learns you misled him about something this personal, it could unravel trust, marriages, and loyalties all at once.

The storyline could unfold with Portia revealing the pregnancy to Curtis — possibly while Isaiah is kept in the dark. If Curtis accepts it at face value, he might fall into her narrative; but if he questions the timeline, or learns about her closeness to Isaiah, the lie may not hold.

Of course, in soap logic, a DNA test will likely intervene. That result could either confirm her lie or devastate it. And when (not if) the truth emerges — the fallout could be staggering: heartache, betrayal, broken alliances.
