General Hospital Spoilers: Heather’s Return Shakes Anna – Another PTSD Nightmare Ahead?

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) will run into Heather Webber (Alley Mills) this week on the ABC soap.

Considering what her run-ins with Heather have consisted of in the past, might this mean more PTSD for Anna?

Key Takeaways

• Anna encounters Heather following her return to Port Charles
• Anna has just made progress in dealing with her Faison trauma
• Heather’s violent history could bring back painful memories
• Emma and Trina suspect Heather is connected to the stalking
• Anna may keep a close eye on Heather despite her claims of redemption

Anna Just Has Broken Free From The Hold Of Cesar Faison Memories In Her Life

Anna has just broken free from the hold of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) memories in her life, with the help of Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) in her last therapy session with Dr. Nichols (Kearran Giovanni).

But not two days after that happened, now someone else who has caused Anna trauma in the past has shown up in Port Charles, and she runs into her.

The trauma from Heather wasn’t as long-term as with Faison, but their last encounter was pretty bad.

Heather clobbered Anna over the head in 2012 and shot Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) while aiming at Anna!

And then, even though Anna wasn’t directly a target, she certainly can’t forget that The Hook turned out to be Heather as well.

Although a couple of the earlier crimes may have been committed by her daughter, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl).

What Will Anna Do When She Sees Heather?

It’s a good question what Anna will do when she sees Heather, since she is still on leave from the Port Charles Police Department and has not yet taken back the Police Commissioner position.

Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) is still pinch-hitting for her, overseeing two major ongoing investigations.

There’s an excellent chance that even though Heather has claimed she’s changed and achieved redemption, not to mention wealth, Anna won’t buy it.

And neither will the majority of Port Charlesites who have known Heather, and that includes Anna’s granddaughter, Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner).

She and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) are sure that Heather is Trina’s stalker, and that’s because she’s Esme’s mother.

The suspicions surrounding Heather’s return have been growing, with questions about whether Heather is Trina’s stalker.

Anna Doesn’t Give The Benefit Of The Doubt Easily

Anna doesn’t give the benefit of the doubt easily, and although Anna may remember the traumatic things that Heather has done and refuse to believe she has changed, she may not get a full-blown case of Heather PTSD.

That may have been different had she been attacked by Heather as the Hook, but she wasn’t, and thankfully, Emma was still in California with her parents at the time.

But there is a good chance that even though Emma hasn’t shared about Trina’s stalker with her grandmother, Anna will take it upon herself to keep an eye on the villainess.

As this week’s spoilers confirm Anna’s encounter with Heather, there could be plenty of questions about her return.

Anna’s going to need more than Heather’s word and a few suits of fancy clothes to believe that she’s changed.

And she may approach Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) to see if she’s heard anything from her older brother Steven Lars Webber (Scott Reeves), who was supposed to keep Heather with him!

Meanwhile, November sweeps spoilers suggest Heather will try to prove she’s no longer a threat.

Annemarie’s Take

Anna has only just started putting her trauma involving Faison behind her, and now Heather is back in Port Charles!

I wouldn’t blame Anna for being suspicious, especially with Emma and Trina worried about Heather. It’ll take a lot more than Heather saying she’s changed to convince everyone!
