‘General Hospital’: Is Victor Cassadine behind the Hook Attacks?

General Hospital mega-villain Victor Cassadine is capable of anything. It’s no secret that he uses murder to accomplish his goals on GH. And there’s an excellent chance that Vic is behind the brutal Hook attacks on the ABC sudser.

General Hospital: Victor Cassadine Evil and Ruthless

Charles Shaughnessy’s character Victor Cassadine may be elegant and sophisticated. He is, however, also a merciless murderer. Victor blatantly stated to Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) that he cares nothing about living another life.

Her son Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons) is still being held hostage by him. In addition, he murdered Paloma Perez, also known as Emma Samms, in front of her. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to assume that he would have individuals hooked to get them out of his way.

Recaps of episodes of General Hospital mention that Ava Jerome (Maura West) was The Hook’s first victim. Victor has long wished for Ava to be separated from his nephew Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma).

Ava was in fact expected to pass away. The Hook Killer increased the stakes by covering the weapon in deadly venom after she survived, though. The serial killer then took two more lives. Every indication pointed to Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl). But there might be a surprise in store.

Eillen Ashby The Hook on GH?

Deputy Mayor Eileen Ashby (Heather Mazur), as General Hospital viewers are aware, carries out Victor’s orders. And it can involve far more than completing menial jobs and monitoring Madame Mayor Laura Spencer (Genie Francis).

The gender of The Hook is known. Esme appeared to be the perpetrator because Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) is linked to the list of victims. However, there is growing speculation that Esme may not be the murderer.

Do they even know that the deputy mayor's cover has been BLOWN sky high? Laura and Robert KNOW she is working for Victor! I guess it's better if Laura and Robert keep them in the dark and can pass false info to them if they want. #GH pic.twitter.com/y3mQifPer6

Esme may not be at fault, according to the PCPD police. Ava soon has the same question. Eileen, Victor’s lackey on General Hospital, does indeed make perfect sense.

Eileen is currently unaware that Laura and her legacy friends are aware that she is Vic’s pawn. Thus, they are at an advantage.

And they might soon uncover information that makes them mistrust the Deputy Mayor. It’s possible that she and Victor Cassadine are framing the young criminal.

Esme Prince Framed on General Hospital?

In fact, Vic’s preferred strategy is to make others responsible for his actions. He has already accused Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) of killing Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring).

So it’s only fitting that Esme is presented as the psychopath with a hook. The upcoming attack, nevertheless, could show that Esme is not the murderer.

On Spoon Island, the teenage she-vampire is still Nik’s prisoner. And this week on General Hospital, the serial killer strikes once more. This time, Rory Cabrera, a new police officer, looks to be the victim (Michael Blake Kruse).

I love snarky and petty (and jealous) Spencer, and Victor’s facial expressions are the icing on the cake 🤣. #Sprina #GH pic.twitter.com/koJwpITvI3

Another person connected to Trina. Rory might, however, be on Victor’s hit list. The rookie currently stands between Trina, Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Chavez) love, and him.

Vic also recently suggested to Rory that he avoid Trina, according to General Hospital recaps. So it’s likely that Victor removes Rory from the picture to give Spencer access to Trina. On GH, a twist might be looming soon.

Fans may learn that Vic and Eileen are harassing Port Chuck as a result. Don’t miss a second to learn if Victor Cassadine is identified as the brains behind the horrific attacks that are destabilizing the ABC serial opera.
