With Curtis’ threats against Drew fresh in everyone’s minds — fueled by Drew’s sabotage of Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) — he’s a prime suspect in the PCPD’s eyes.
Enter Dr. Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), Curtis’ newly estranged wife, who was conveniently (or inconveniently) in bed with Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) that very night.
But how can Portia vouch for Curtis without spilling to Isaiah that her hubby might be guilty, potentially arming her lover with ammo against him? This tangled web could either save Curtis or destroy what’s left of their marriage.
Curtis in Crisis
Curtis’ public fury over Drew’s sabotage of Stella for fraud makes him look guilty as sin, especially with his warning to Drew echoing in witnesses’ ears.
Needing an alibi to clear his name, Curtis might turn to Portia, unaware she spent the night with Isaiah after their blowout fight. If Portia lies for him — claiming they reconciled briefly — it could work, but it risks exposing her affair if Curtis probes deeper.
Fans speculate Curtis’ pride might keep him from asking, leaving him vulnerable to Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) investigation.
Portia Dances with Danger
Portia’s night with Isaiah gives her a rock-solid alibi for herself, but covering for Curtis without cluing in her lover is a tightrope walk. She could vaguely say she was “alone” post-fight, implying Curtis wasn’t with her, but that leaves him exposed.
Or, she might fabricate a solo timeline for Curtis, like claiming he called her distraught from home. The key: keep Isaiah out of it to avoid weaponizing him against Curtis.
If Isaiah learns Curtis needs an alibi, he could use it as leverage in their love triangle. Portia’s history of secrets makes her a pro at this, but one slip could unravel everything.
A Marriage on the Brink
If Portia pulls off the alibi without revealing her fling, it might buy Curtis time, but guilt could consume her, especially if he’s innocent and her lie implies otherwise.
Fans fear this blows up the Ashfords — with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) caught in the middle, or Curtis discovering the affair mid-investigation. If Isaiah senses her stress, he might dig, turning lover into a foe. Will Portia’s cover save Curtis, or doom their flailing marriage?
