General Hospital (GH) spoilers indicate that fans finally know who was behind Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco) digitalis OD, and the reveal was who most suspected: Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) was the culprit behind the medicine tampering.
It may take some time before the rest of Port Charles finds out, but there will be heck to pay from many within the little town when the truth is revealed.
One person who will struggle with the news is Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), as he’s been guilt-ridden since Sam passed away.
After all, Dante knows that Sam stepped up to donate a portion of her liver to Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) for his and Rocco Falconeri’s (Finn Carr) sake.
Not to mention the fact that his world, and his blended family’s world, was flipped upside down after the news hit regarding Sam’s demise.
Now, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonzyzn) and Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante) are forced to grow up without their mother; all of his hopes and dreams for a “happily ever after” are gone.
Sam wanted to help Dante and Rocco by ‘saving’ Lulu, but in the end, it cost her own life, but it wouldn’t have been that way had Cyrus not got involved.
Dante has always been someone who’s played by the book.
As a member of the PCPD, he believes in the justice system and follows the rules, but this theory could be blown out of the water once he finds out what Cyrus did.
The soap unveiled Cyrus as the person behind the Sam’s digitalis OD, but has yet to present “the why”, which should come hand-in-hand when the rest of Port Charles finds out he played Grim Reaper on a beloved member of the town.
Cyrus is a wildcard so there will likely be an outlandish reason behind his need to off the mother, daughter, and sister with so many ties with PC.
Dante once suffered from PTSD during his days with the WSB when he was on a mission in Turkey.
When he returned to town, he was a shadow of his former self, and a dark Dante emerged, which was the reason behind his split with Lulu.
Could finding out that Cyrus was behind Sam’s passing trigger this darker Dante to return? Sure, Dante went to therapy for his mental health condition and became a better person, in part thanks to Sam; however, now that she’s no longer around to pull him out of any funk he could fall into, he may find himself back in that place with a hole in his heart that can only be filled by vengeance.
As such, the rule book could be thrown out the window if the cop has a thirst for revenge that will only be quenched by giving Cyrus a taste of his own medicine.
Dante may feel a “life for a life” is the only way to make the wrong against Sam and his family right, so could he pull the trigger on ending Cyrus’s life?
He may decide Cyrus should get an injection of digitalis of his own, but then again, a simple shot to the chest could do the trick, too?
Still, Dante would jeopardize so much if he decided to go down this path.
While Lulu is back, the last thing Rocco needs is for his father to be sent to prison for offing a criminal who could easily just rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life.
There’s also Scout and Danny to think about. While they have their respective dads, Dante is a special figure in their life, and they’d be devastated if he was sent away.
General Hospital spoilers suggest that if Dante were to dive into his dark side, could Lulu be a person who helps guide him in a healing direction?
This could open the idea for a romantic reunion, but only time will tell.
