The lawyer reads Natalia’s will at the funeral, Marco can’t believe the truth ABC General Hospital

Natalia’s Last Goodbye

The city of Port Charles is still reeling from the sudden, tragic death of Natalia Ramirez—a death that sent shockwaves through every corner of the community. On the July 1st, 2025 episode, Natalia’s tumultuous journey ended in heartbreak: she was found unresponsive in her Metro Court hotel room, an apparent overdose of pills and alcohol marking the end of her story. Her final days were haunted by bitter confrontations, especially with Sonny Corinthos at baby Daisy’s christening, where she publicly declared their relationship finished. Alone in her hotel room, Natalia’s thoughts spiraled—memories of her ex-husband Jen Sidwell, her son Marco, and Sonny flickered through her mind as she made the choices that would change everything.

At the very moment Natalia was slipping away, Marco was caught in a fire at Charlie’s Pub, unable to answer her last desperate text. When news of her death reached him at General Hospital, Marco was devastated. He rushed to her hospital room, only to find her gone forever. But as grief threatened to consume him, a new mystery emerged: Marco couldn’t accept the official story. He was convinced there was more to his mother’s death than a simple overdose, and his suspicions fell squarely on Sonny Corinthos.

The Will Reading: A Shocking Revelation

After the funeral, as tradition and law dictate, Natalia’s last will and testament was to be read. Marco, as her only son and next of kin, had to face the legal reality of her passing while his heart was still shattered. As a lawyer himself, Marco understood the process—but nothing could have prepared him for the shock that awaited.

Family, friends, and rivals gathered at the lawyer’s office, tension thick in the air. The reading began, and the room held its breath. Piece by piece, Natalia’s wishes were revealed… until the bombshell dropped: she had left her entire estate to Sonny Corinthos.

Gasps echoed around the room. Marco sat frozen, unable to believe what he was hearing. His mother—who had fought so bitterly with Sonny in her final days, who had seemed ready to leave him behind forever—had chosen Sonny as her sole heir. Everything: her money, her property, her business interests, even personal mementos, now belonged to the man Marco blamed for her death.

The Fallout: Betrayal, Suspicion, and War

The shock of the will’s contents sent ripples of chaos through Port Charles. For Marco, it wasn’t just a financial blow—it was a personal betrayal, a final wound from the mother he’d just lost. The inheritance only deepened his conviction that Sonny was involved in Natalia’s death. Now, he was more determined than ever to uncover the truth, even if it meant going head-to-head with the most dangerous man in town.

For Sonny, the inheritance was a double-edged sword. While he gained valuable assets and information, he also became the prime suspect in Natalia’s suspicious death. Detective Chase and Anna Devane redoubled their investigation, questioning whether Sonny knew about the will before Natalia died. Was this a crime of passion, or a premeditated act for profit? The timing of when the will was written—and whether Natalia ever tried to change it—became crucial evidence.

Meanwhile, Marco’s relentless pursuit of justice put him on a collision course with Sonny’s organization. Even the gratitude Sonny might have felt toward Marco for saving his daughter Kristina from the Charlie’s Pub fire was lost in the rising storm of accusation and suspicion.

Port Charles in Turmoil

The effects of Natalia’s will rippled far beyond Marco and Sonny. Friends and enemies alike took sides, alliances shifted, and old wounds reopened. Anna and Chase found themselves with new leads and new motives to explore. Sonny’s family and associates braced for more scandal, while his enemies saw an opportunity to strike.

At the same time, in the background, other dramas simmered. Kai Taylor’s betrayal of Curtis and Portia, the fallout between Lulu and Brooklyn Quartermaine, and the ongoing struggles of Maxie Jones all played out against the backdrop of Natalia’s shocking bequest. Secrets about Gio’s parentage and Rocco’s birth threatened to explode, each revelation adding more fuel to the fire.

A Mother’s Final Statement

Natalia’s decision to leave everything to Sonny, despite their bitter breakup, left everyone questioning her true feelings. Was it a last act of love, a tragic mistake, or something more complicated? For Marco, the answer didn’t matter. All he knew was that he had lost his mother twice—once to death, and again to a will that seemed to erase him from her life.

As the dust settled, one thing was certain: Port Charles would never be the same. The reading of Natalia’s will was more than a legal formality—it was the spark that ignited new wars, new heartbreaks, and new quests for truth and redemption.

In General Hospital, even after death, the secrets and betrayals never rest. And as Marco set out to prove Sonny’s guilt, the entire town braced for the next storm—because in Port Charles, every ending is just the beginning of another dramatic chapter.
