What did Sam decide in her will on General Hospital? Storyline explored
Port Charles is experiencing a heavy and drama-filled aftermath of Sam McCall's death. After the reveal that the character was killed due to a drug overdose that caused her heart failure, Sam's loved ones might be facing another battle soon.
Jason and Drew shall be seen at loggerheads in the upcoming storyline, fighting for custody of Sam's son, Danny. In her will, Sam specified that Drew would take custody upon her death. However, the will was drafted by Sam at a time when Jason had been presumed dead while off on a mission. Jason's argument remains that he is still Danny's biological father, and wants to provide a stable home for his son.
Alexis Davis discussed the will with Drew and Jason, resulting in Jason's agitation. He insisted that Danny belonged to him. Meanwhile, Alexis and Drew tried to convince him to respect Sam's last wishes, making the communication gap between the two parties deeper.

However, it is still possible that Jason might decide to contest the will in court. In this case, Drew and Jason could be facing a massive custody battle with Danny's legal parentage on the line. It remains to be seen how the soap and showrunners explore this angle of Sam's death.
