General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that fans are curious about Nelle Benson Jerome’s (Chloe Lanier) fate. Nelle’s seemingly backed herself into a corner that’s impossible to get out of – especially now that Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) is set to find Nelle at her hideout.
On August 27, Michael will lose control in a moment of desperation. It looks like Nelle will play mind games, but Michael will decide he’s had enough. Thursday’s preview video shows Michael shaking Nelle violently as he demands to know where his son is.
That’s left some viewers wondering if Michael might kill Nelle in a fit of rage, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Here’s what GH Co-Head Writers Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor teased in a recent issue of Soap Opera Digest.
They noted that Nelle’s plan “will ultimately bring her relationship with Carly to a major climax, one that will have ripple effects for the rest of the canvas.”
That implies that there’s another chapter ahead – one that’s more about Nelle and Carly instead of Nelle and Michael, which is the showdown that’s front and center now.
It looks like Nelle’s going to survive this Michael faceoff, but that doesn’t mean she’ll remain unharmed! Michael will seemingly come a bit unhinged as he tries to protect Wiley Quartermaine-Corinthos (Erik and Theo Olson).
Could Michael shove Nelle hard enough to cause a fall? Could this lead to a serious head injury and a coma? General Hospital spoilers say Michael will be nervous on Friday, so that’s something interesting to consider.
What if Michael briefly believes he’s killed Nelle – only to realize she’s alive but barely?
Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) might cover for Michael once Nelle’s hospitalized. Of course, a coma would be the perfect way to put Nelle “on ice” so to speak.
Since GH writers aren’t ready for Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) to learn the truth about her daughter just yet, this might be the perfect solution.
General Hospital spoilers point to Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) keeping a major secret soon. That secret will likely involve Nelle’s connection to Nina.
GH could keep the mother-daughter drama going while Nelle’s stuck comatose in a hospital bed. It’d be like when Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) was given his own coma timeout before the baby swap blew up.
It’s easy to imagine Nina ultimately discovering the truth and holding vigil by Nelle’s bedside. It would instantly create a sympathetic angle for GH to work. Nina would worry her daughter might never wake up, but Nelle eventually would. That’d finally bring that major Carly climax into play!
