General Hospital spoilers and updates tease in Port Charles, New York Neil Byrne (Joe Flanigan) has been dead for weeks.

Have the GH writers dropped the ball on this story?

General Hospital Spoiler Insights

There was never any evidence of drug use with General Hospital’s Neil. (Joe Flanigan) Neil would have never used drugs because his daughter died from a drug overdose. Neil knows how much his daughter’s death hurt him and he would never put Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) through that. Neil spent a great deal of his time as a therapist helping people to shake a drug addiction. Neil would have been dead set on staying away from drugs at any cost.

It Happened While With Alexis Davis

Let’s be honest, if Neil was planning to overdose, why would he do it in General Hospital’s Alexis’ bed? If Neil was going to intentionally overdose, he would have done it at home while broken up with Alexis. Neil wouldn’t have committed to a life with Alexis just to kill himself and leave her. Neil would not take that chance, he was too excited to be with Alexis to risk overdosing in her bed. There has to be more to this story. The PCPD needs to spend a little time on this case and realize that something does not add up. The viewers know that none of this would be a real scenario, so why have the writers left us hanging?

Someone Had To Be After Alexis Davis

General Hospital fans know that the only thing that makes sense it someone was targeting Alexis. Neil could have been killed to frame Alexis for murder. Alexis has already been called in for questioning about Neil’s demise, was someone trying to frame her for murder since she has killed twice before and gotten away with it? Could this have started as a revenge killing and Neil got in the way? After all, Keifer Bauer (Christian Alexander) was killed by Alexis.

Keifer’s sister Kendra Bauer (Michelle Argyris) sister was killed while trying to get revenge on Alexis for Keifer’s death. Keifer’s father and sister are now dead but what about their mother? This woman has lost her entire family and would likely blame it all on Alexis. Is it possible that Neil died because someone was trying to kill Alexis and found him instead? Was Neil murdered just to make Alexis suffer?

There are so many ways the writers could go with this story. However, the writers need to go somewhere with this and explain how this overdose took place.
