New General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that GH serial killer Paul Hornsby (Richard Burgi) will soon take another life, but it’s not the one he wants. Once again, there’s interference in Paul’s murderous plans and he has to take someone out that gets in his way.
Paul is trying for the second (or possibly third) time to kill Dr Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson). Remember Paul crept up behind Monica during the blackout but then his phone rang and gave him away. He also was lurking in her office hoping to get her there.
But instead, Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) walked in and found Paul in Monica’s office. He didn’t get to Monica either of those times and then he attacked Liz because he assumed she saw the syringe in his hand. She didn’t but that didn’t stop him from coming at her.
He failed to kill either Monica or Liz the day of the blackout and that has to be frustrating Paul. We still don’t know exactly what his agenda is – but first it was hospital patients, then an attack on Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) and now he’s targeting Monica.
GH seems to be important to Paul and this still may all tie back to Paul’s daughter Susan Hornsby that was stricken with a virus and treated at GH as a child by Bobbie’s then-husband Tony Jones (Brad Maule).
In coming days, Paul will try again to kill Monica but someone else will get in his way and Paul will kill that person instead. But who could it be? Some General Hospital spoilers have teased that the killer’s next victim could be gossipy nurse Amy Driscoll (Risa Dorken).
If Paul comes after Monica at General Hospital, it makes sense that a GH staffer would be the one to get in the way and Paul would have to take them out. But will it be yet another kill that no GH viewer cares about? Some random red shirt orderly we’ve never seen before?
Amy doesn’t get a lot of screen time, but is someone we’ve grown to know since she started on GH back in Spring 2016. So if Paul is going to whack someone that’s a named character most GH fans know, she’s a good choice without sacrificing a major GH player.
No matter who it is that Paul kills, he will come back for Monica because, once again, he’ll be thwarted from killing the person he wants to. We’re also wondering whether Paul might take advantage of Liz’s current medical crisis to try and finish her off as well.
With Liz’s life on the line and her bleeding out because her spleen ruptured, this might be his best chance to take her out too. How many lives will Paul take before he’s through? How long before GH writers are able to work up a plausible explanation for choosing Paul as the killer?
The writers admitted that they began the killer plot without choosing a perpetrator so now they have to set up a few more deaths to try and tie Paul to the past killing using future ones. We’ll see how logical it all seems once they work it out.
