General Hospital’s Hook Ensures That [Spoiler] Won’t Live to Ring In the New Year

The day of Britt’s birth promises to be the night of someone’s death.

It was nearly 30 years ago in Reality Bites that Winona Ryder said, “Well, I can’t, uh, really define irony, but I know it when I see it.” And it sure looks like we’re about to see it, written in blood, on General Hospital, ’cause The Hook appears to be going to crash Britt’s birthday party.

Less a Whodunit Than a Who’s It Gonna Get Done To!

For months, the killer has made their “point,” whacking one victim (Rory) after another (Brando). And as Britt plans to sneak out of her own bash, starting anew to await the end of her life elsewhere, The Hook is poised to, ahem, execute a different plot.

Anyone at the blowout could be the next casualty, but the smart money is on the guest of honor being hooked before the ball drops. How ironic would it be, right, if poor Britt, on the verge of leaving Port Charles so that she could die without an audience, wound up being struck down before she ever reached the city limits?

Aftershocks Galore

The shockwaves would be felt all across the world if Britt did meet her maker sooner than she had planned. Cody, lamenting what may have been, would join the hunt for The Hook, perhaps teaming up with Sasha, still grieving Brando, and learn more than just the culprit’s identity. (Revival of romance?) When Liesl falters and returns to her evil ways, Scotty may find himself in a difficult situation. Should he try to guide his beloved back to the straight and narrow… or use her turn to evil as an opportunity to gain control of Port Charles?

It goes without saying that Spencer and Trina would be more motivated than ever to track down Esme, who they suspect is the culprit. When they ultimately succeed, a whole new can of worms would be revealed when they realized that because she was Nikolas’ hostage, she couldn’t have committed the crimes (at least most of them).

Do you think Britt’s party will be the last that she ever attends? Hit the comments, and on your way
