“General Hospital” (GH) spoilers tease that on this week’s episodes Julian Jerome (William deVry) will find himself in a situation where he needs help and uses something Alexis Davis (Nancy L Grahn) stashed away. It’s the Cassadine dagger that Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) left Alexis in her will.
Alexis has spent some time lately with the dagger pondering what it meant to her and obsessing over how awful it was that Helena gave her the weapon she used to murder her mother in cold blood. Last we saw the dagger, Alexis tucked it into one of the glass bookcases in their den.
So General Hospital asks why would Julian get out the dagger and put it to use? Either he’s got the world’s most challenging envelope he’s struggling to open – or Julian’s life is in danger. Our bet is on the latter, but with GH you never know. If Julian’s life is at risk, who is it that came after him?
There are a couple of likely suspects. One is his partner in crime Carlos Rivera (Jeffrey V Parise) who we know is on the loose. The other is Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). GH spoilers know Carlos will be on the run starting on Monday’s episode, May 9, because of a prison break facilitated by Paul Hornsby (Richard Burgi).
It would be better for Julian if Carlos was dead, but he can just as easily pay Carlos off and get him out of town. But Sonny is another matter altogether. Once news of the PCPD transport vehicle crash spreads across Port Charles, Sonny will assume that Julian set up the wreck to free Carlos.
Sonny has no idea that Paul is a player in this Carlos mess. So when Sonny hears that Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) was seriously injured in Carlos’ escape, Sonny will likely assume that Julian helped Carlos get away. That may be too much for Sonny to handle.
Will Sonny come to kill Julian because he’s furious that Carlos is gone and Dante is injured? Sonny threatened to kill Julian if anything happened to Carlos – and now something has happened with Carlos. Sonny tried to give the justice system the chance to deal with Julian.
But now the witness against Carlos for Duke Lavery’s (Ian Buchanan) shooting is dead and Carlos is on the run which means they have no witness against Julian. To Sonny, it now looks like there is no way for the courts to punish Julian for ordering Duke’s death.
That makes it very likely that Sonny will take matters into his own hands. Of course, it may be Max Giambetti (Derk Cheetwood) that Sonny sends to deal with Julian – but probably not. In the old days, it would have been Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) that came knocking at Julian’s door.
But even though Jason’s memories will be back as of Monday, there’s no way he’s going to go do Sonny’s dirty work. So if anyone is going to come after Julian – it will be Carlos or Sonny. But the safer bet is Sonny. Will Helena’s awful dagger draw blood?
Will Julian be forced to defend himself against one of these men? Will someone die or will Alexis show up in time to shut things down? How will the confrontation end? Will Julian have to stick that dagger in someone?
What do you think GH fans? Will Sonny or Carlos come for Julian and he has to use the dagger in self-defense? Or does Julian get out to clean his fingernails or open the mail? Let’s hope it’s the more exciting option!
