General Hospital Stunner: Parry Shen Departs as Brad Destroys Portia’s World, Grabs the Cash & Disappears?

Parry Shen might be making his exit from General Hospital this week as Brad Cooper sets Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) up for a major fall. There’s a chance he could take off and leave Port Charles behind.

General Hospital Spoilers: Brad Confronts Portia Robinson

Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) recently confronted Portia Robinson, smugly claiming he’s got the upper hand. He accused her of drugging Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) with the ketamine he swiped from the hospital pharmacy. Brad’s confident this gives him power over her.

However, Portia didn’t back down. She hit right back, denying she had anything to do with poisoning Drew. Instead, she pointed the finger at Brad himself, saying he’s the one who drugged Drew. Portia insisted that no one would take the word of a former convict like Brad over hers. And honestly, she has a point — except maybe when it comes to Drew. Portia clearly saw Brad’s scheme coming and made sure she stayed one step ahead.

Brad Cooper Snaps: Revenge Unleashed & a Shocking Reveal for Drew Cain

Brad Cooper hit his breaking point after a tense confrontation with Portia Robinson. Already frustrated, Brad then saw his ex, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), cozying up to his new flame Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) — all smiles and flirting over snacks. That moment seemed to tip Brad over the edge emotionally.

Fueled by a mix of jealousy and rage, Brad stormed over to Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) hospital room, where Drew was receiving fluids. Without hesitation, Brad dropped a major revelation — he claimed to know exactly who spiked Drew with Ketamine and offered to spill the truth, but only for the right price.

Naturally, Drew suspects Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) might be the culprit, since his last clear memory that night involved her. Brad, fully aware of Drew’s wealth and desperation, sees an opportunity to cash in. After all, Drew’s political career and relationship with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) are hanging by a thread. Knowing the truth could give him a major edge in both arenas.

Portia and Nina’s Scheme Unravels as Drew Reclaims Control

Portia and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) had a plan to undermine Drew, but it’s quickly unraveling. Willow is already leaning toward believing in Drew’s innocence, despite Nina’s repeated attempts to sway her. With Brad’s information, Drew could clear his name and turn the situation to his advantage — politically and personally.

Most importantly, it could help rebuild the trust between him and Willow, which has been severely tested.

General Hospital Spoilers: Brad’s Pivotal Move & Portia’s Exposure

According to upcoming General Hospital spoilers, Drew receives vital intel on Tuesday, and on Thursday, Brad makes a game-changing choice. It’s likely Drew gives in to Brad’s demands, handing over a significant sum in exchange for the name of the person who drugged him.

Once paid, Brad is expected to shift the blame entirely onto Portia. She had threatened to pin everything on Brad, so his retaliation is more of a counterstrike than a betrayal. But this move will destroy Portia’s carefully constructed narrative and potentially her career.

This twist may also mark another temporary exit for Brad. Parry Shen, who plays Brad, is not on contract and tends to appear in limited arcs. His stints on General Hospital have always been sporadic — including when he returned post-prison to work under Selina Wu (Lydia Look) and later got involved with hospital work again. Each time, Brad seems to vanish as quickly as he appears.

This storyline might end the same way — with Brad taking the money and fleeing Port Charles.

Brad’s Exit: Escaping the Fallout and Heartache

But it’s not just about escaping Portia’s wrath. Brad has deeper reasons for leaving. Witnessing Lucas fully moving on with Marco is painful. Lucas has made it clear there’s no future with Brad, and watching their budding romance unfold is salt in the wound. With nothing tying him down and a fresh mess behind him, Brad might decide it’s time to walk away — again.

Brad & Drew Join Forces? The Plot to Take Down Portia

In a possible twist, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) might team up with Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) rather than turn him in. If it comes to involving Mac Scorpio (John J. York) at the PCPD, Drew could argue that Brad isn’t the true criminal — he’s a witness, even a pawn, used by Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). Drew could push for leniency for Brad while demanding justice for the real offender: Portia.

After all, Portia coerced Brad into stealing Ketamine from the hospital’s supply — threatening his job if he refused. Drew and Brad could present a strong case to Mac, linking this to Portia’s other alleged unethical acts, like tampering with Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) lab results. That would paint a clear pattern of Portia abusing her position, with Brad positioned as another one of her victims.

It’s clear Brad didn’t initially understand what Portia intended to do with the Ketamine. But once he saw the footage of Drew spiraling, it all clicked. If Brad gives Drew the full truth, Drew could either turn Portia in to the authorities or use the information as leverage to blackmail her.

Honestly, it might be more satisfying to see Portia face arrest. Not because Drew is squeaky clean — but because Portia’s manipulations have gone unchecked for too long. This could be the reality check she’s overdue for.

Brad’s Way Out: Cash, Freedom & a Clean Break

If all goes according to plan, Brad could walk away from this scandal with a hefty payout from Drew. With no real ties left in Port Charles and the strong chance he’ll be ousted from his job, Brad might skip town. Staying would only invite trouble — especially from Portia and possibly Selina Wu (Lydia Look), who’s never far from pulling him back into dangerous territory.

Escaping with a wad of cash beats dealing with jail time, revenge plots, or awkward run-ins with his ex, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), and Lucas’s new beau, Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo).

Portia’s Nightmare Just Beginning as Brad Checks Out

Portia’s downfall seems inevitable now. Once Drew connects all the dots — including Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) involvement — the dominoes will fall quickly. Meanwhile, Brad gets to bow out, having set Portia’s world ablaze before vanishing from the chaos.

Even if Portia ends up being the one charged, Brad’s involvement in stealing the drugs might still come to light, ensuring that his reputation — and his hospital job — are in ruins. With nothing left to fight for, and his ex permanently moving on, Brad’s best move is to leave town.

Will Parry Shen Say Goodbye to GH?

As much as fans love Parry Shen, especially those of us who appreciate a complicated, sometimes villainous character, this might be it — at least for now. Brad has always been a lovable troublemaker who doesn’t want to be bad, but trouble finds him anyway. This week could mark the end of Brad’s current arc on General Hospital, with him fleeing just as the fallout begins. One final act of chaos, then gone.

And honestly? That’s the kind of exit Brad Cooper would totally make.
