General Hospital: What does Portia tell Curtis?
In the latest episode, Portia opened up to Curtis as the couple got ready to hit the hay, sharing her intense emotional struggles after Sam's sudden and sad death. She admitted how hard it was to accept the loss, especially since Sam had seemed so healthy and full of life before the tragic event.
Portia vividly recalled the moment Lucas, who was close to Sam and was her surgeon as well, realized that she had passed away and he had to declare her time of death.
She described how the deep pain in Lucas's eyes made her heart ache. This reminded her that even though she loved her job as a medical professional and was dedicated to it, there were times when the work became incredibly difficult to handle.
Portia admitted that she felt uncomfortable questioning Lucas’s involvement in Sam’s surgery due to hospital policy but emphasized that it was her duty to seek clarity. She felt guilty for letting the surgery happen, even though Sam had chosen Lucas as her surgeon.
Curtis listened with understanding, reminding Portia that Sam had made her own choice. Still, Portia couldn’t shake the feeling that she should have stopped it as a professional. Their conversation became personal when Curtis shared how Sam’s death had made him consider the fragility of life, confessing that he never wanted to take his relationship with Portia for granted again.
