General Hospital Spoilers: Heather Accuses Ryan of Being The Hook Mastermind

General Hospital Spoilers reveal Heather Webber (Alley Mills) has confessed to being The Hook, but that doesn’t mean the real assailant is off the hook either. That’s right. Longtime GH fans who are familiar with Heather’s record know they shouldn’t take this confession too seriously right now.

Heather is just fine with taking credit for being The Hook as it gets the heat off of her baby girl, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl). She knew she wasn’t going to make it off of that island now anyway since Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) just had to ruin their chances of a clean getaway for everyone. But who is the real person behind The Hook, and why is Heather giving them a way out?

General Hospital Spoilers — Heather Webber Hooked Austin Gatlin Holt

Obviously, there was no way that Heather was going to be carted off back to prison without taking the blame for hooking Austin Gatlin Holt (Roger Howarth) while she was on Spoon Island. So Heather had to take the blame for that one, and Austin didn’t waste any time pointing the finger of blame in her direction.

If Heather was concerned about getting away with being The Hook for any longer, she would’ve done much more damage to Austin than she did. In fact, it seems almost like Heather never wanted to run away at all. When they got to Wyndemere, she let Ryan dig his hole as if she was just waiting for the cops to show up and take her and Esme back to Spring Ridge. Is that where they’re headed, though?

GH Spoilers  – Hint Esme Price’s Name Is Cleared

Heather knew that there was no way to clear Esme’s name without pinning the crime on someone else. She couldn’t make a very convincing argument that Ryan was The Hook or she would have. But the police already know The Hook is a female. For some time, it seemed as though Heather might have been pretending to be The Hook just to spare Esme or someone else of any charges. That may still be true, but right now, she needs Esme to have as little of a legal battle on her hands as possible if she’s going to have any chance at being out of prison and with her child.

General Hospital Spoilers — The Police Stop Looking

Heather also knew that as long as the police thought they had captured their mark, they would stop looking for The Hook. If someone like ADA Jennifer Arden (Jennifer Fields) really is The Hook, and Heather was just acting on her behalf at times, then the next plan may be to fool everyone into thinking The Hook has been locked up for good.

As long as the police aren’t paying attention anymore, The Hook can lay their groundwork for their next killing, which is going to be epic. When someone else is hooked, Heather will recant her confession and claim that it was Ryan all along, and he coerced her into acting on his behalf. Heather has spent months laying the evidence out in just the right way to pull this off and make Ryan look guilty. Will it work? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers just ahead to see how this pans out.
