Normal Hospital reveals Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) horrified as a result of she’s received a really, very lifeless Professor Hank Dalton (Daniel Goddard) in her trunk. And issues are about to take a horrible flip for the newly reelected mayor.
So, will a homicide accusation towards Laura flip over the election outcomes? We’re going to speak about why Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is setting Laura as much as take the autumn for Dalton’s homicide and what comes subsequent.
Normal Hospital: Laura Loses it on Dalton
All proper, so we just lately noticed Laura go off on Professor Dalton for framing her grandson Rocco Falceroni (Finn Frances Carr) for supposedly trashing Dalton’s lab at PCU. Now poor Rocco is sitting in juvie, terrified and dealing with severe felony costs. After all, Laura is aware of Rocco is harmless and that Dalton is a slimeball. When he provoked Laura on the polling station on election day, when you bear in mind, she screamed at Dalton.
Laura known as him a liar and promised that he wouldn’t get away with this. Then Laura even slapped Dalton within the face. He didn’t contact her. And she or he received bodily with him. I imply, it was superb. And voters appeared to love that she was standing up for her grandson. However sadly, Laura slapping him was assault. And she or he made threats towards Dalton twice in public. And now unexpectedly, his corpse is in her trunk on Normal Hospital.
Behind the Homicide: Sidwell’s Motives and Britt’s Terrifying Secret on GH
After all, everyone knows that Sidwell is the one who put a bullet by means of his coronary heart, killing Dalton in chilly blood proper there in his lounge as a result of he put the analysis that he, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), Sidwell, and the thriller boss are engaged on in danger. Dalton’s unhealthy mood received them on the radar of the PCPD and the WSB. The nice factor is that they haven’t tied Dalton, you understand, in a single technique to Britt and to Sidwell.
So, sure, Britt Westbourne is the one and solely witness to Sidwell slaying Dalton, however she’s terrified, so she will not be going to speak. It’s not simply that Sidwell instructed her, “That is how I take care of individuals who betray me.” He additionally reminded Britt she depends on him and the thriller boss for her Huntington’s remedy. So, she’s very petrified of what horrible issues would occur to her well being with out that miracle drug.
Laura Collins within the Scorching Seat: Will She Be Arrested for Homicide?
I do suspect we’re going to see Laura within the scorching seat as a result of she simply publicly threatened Dalton. By the top of this week, she’s in her automobile, terrified, freaking out that there’s a corpse in there together with her spare tire. And Laura screams once more on Friday when Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) approaches her automobile. I assume she doesn’t see him there. The threats have been unhealthy sufficient if Dalton had turned up lifeless wherever. I believe Laura would have been a suspect, however with Dalton’s physique shoved within the trunk of her automobile, there appears little doubt the PCPD should examine and probably arrest Laura subsequent week.
After all, we solely have three episodes subsequent week due to Thanksgiving. So, Laura will not be in handcuffs for an entire one other week, but it surely appears possible it’s going to occur. On the identical time that it appears possible she’ll be arrested, it additionally appears fairly unlikely that the mayor would shoot Dalton, however she did make threats and he or she vowed to guard Rocco in any respect prices. And naturally, Laura’s a tricky cookie and it wouldn’t be the primary time she dealt with a gun. It wouldn’t be the primary time she killed any individual. So, you understand, she’s not an angel.
Sidwell’s Grasp Plan: A “Two Birds, One Stone” Scheme on Normal Hospital
However there’s additionally the truth that Laura was simply reelected as mayor and he or she beat creepy Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove). And we all know she has lots to lose. One more reason that Laura wouldn’t be reckless and simply go round capturing some man it doesn’t matter what he did to Rocco. Nonetheless, if the proof factors to Laura, that’s what issues. And naturally, Sidwell is aware of that. That’s why he instructed Britt that now-dead Dalton may nonetheless be helpful to their trigger as a result of Laura’s been getting in the best way of what Sidwell needs, which is to get Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) out of the best way and to take management of the piers. And Laura refused eminent area. Then they did measure C. And that didn’t go the best way Sidwell wished.
But when he can get Laura despatched to jail, then it looks as if Ezra would in all probability be mayor. And we all know he would do precisely what Sidwell instructed him to do as a result of he’s corrupt. Plus, we all know that Sidwell has the homicide weapon since he used it. So, he might need planted that with Dalton’s corpse in Laura’s automobile or possibly in her workplace or her residence. I imply, that is positively form of a two birds, one stone factor for Sidwell. He removed Dalton who was an issue. And he might also get Laura out of the best way. And she or he’s additionally an issue as a result of she would all the time be Sonny’s ally at metropolis corridor.
Intimidation and Management: Sidwell’s Third Sufferer
Plus, in a form of a three-birds, one-stone factor, Sidwell achieved a 3rd factor by killing Dalton. He scared the tea-total crap out of Britt as a result of she has toned down the sass and he or she’s going to work more durable within the lab to get the outcomes from her father Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) analysis. Even a badass like Britt is now afraid for her life as a result of she is aware of Sidwell is not going to hesitate to kill her.
She was already scared as soon as she noticed that he had introduced Pascal (Mark Overlook) to Port Charles as a result of the man strapped a bomb to her ankle in Croatia. And you understand, if Pascal had his means, Britt would already be lifeless in items. So, she’s terrified and rightfully so. And Sidwell is evil, however he’s additionally extraordinarily sensible and he appears to all the time be two steps forward. So, I’m under no circumstances shocked that he would take this chance to do away with Dalton, who’s a severe legal responsibility. And likewise get Laura out of the best way.
The Investigation Begins: Will the PCPD Uncover the Fact on GH?
On the finish of this week, Nathan is speaking to Laura, who’s distraught and sobbing. And he’s at her automobile window in conjunction with the highway. So, both Laura calls 911 to report she discovered a physique in her trunk, or Nathan simply occurs to be driving by and sees her pulled over. Both means, the cops are there and it needs to be simple to see that Laura is being framed. However the PCPD doesn’t do an ideal job at really fixing crimes, initially. They usually actually haven’t any different suspects. They typically all the time go for the straightforward one, like with the Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) factor and Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) capturing.
Backside line, Rocco is in juvie and the opposite children that conspired to do the break-in, Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn), Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke), Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), and Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner), all have alibis for when Dalton was killed. So, regardless that it appears unlikely that Laura would kill Dalton, if that’s the place the proof factors, you understand, plus with Laura assaulting Dalton and making threats, we may see Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) compelled to arrest Laura, which might be ironic since Dante was simply appointed appearing police commissioner by his ex-mother-in-law, the mayor.
Political Fallout: A Nightmare for Mayor Collins on Normal Hospital
So, DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) clearly would cost Laura with homicide if the proof warrants it. After which which means for her that beating Ezra within the election is likely to be the final good factor to occur to Laura for some time. If she is dealing with arrest and jail time, I might count on Ezra and Drew to get to work overturning the election in order that Ezra can take her place as mayor, which might put every part falling completely into place for Sidwell and beginning an actual nightmare for poor Laura. And naturally, that is unhealthy information for Sonny, too.
It could be form of humorous if Laura has to step down as mayor due to Dalton’s homicide after which Ezra is appointed mayor, however then he’s compelled to step down as a result of Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) is about to determine that Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell), the ex-prostitute, was doing attractive stuff with Ezra for cash the evening that Drew was shot and Justinda lied to offer Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) an alibi. So, we may have two disgraced mayors within the coming weeks. We’ll see what occurs.
Issues are usually not wanting good for Laura and he or she may lose every part. Clearly, the mayor’s family and friends will stand by her. Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening), Rocco, Sonny, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper), Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), all of them. And she or he’s received numerous folks in her nook, however none of that may matter if Sidwell did a extremely good job framing her for Dalton’s loss of life.
