ABC ‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers indicate the finale of the 2015 Nurses Ball was a big day. It was the beginning of a massive story that revealed who Jake Barnes (Billy Miller) really is. This episode let us actually see something only mentioned during the Frankendrew (Roger Howarth) debacle. Let’s take a look at what went down and how it ties into a common issue on soaps.
ABC ‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: The Deed
So, a reference was made during the Frankendrew trial to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) keeping Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) away from his family for her own gain. This story began with the 2015 Gala when Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) exposed the scam being run by Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). It was a heartbreaking moment for Elizabeth and it apparently had a profound effect.
Later on, she learned that Jake is really Jason. She came close to exposing all right there on stage. Instead, she gave a speech about Robin Scorpio-Drake (Kimberly McCullough) that also paid tribute to Jason. The thing is, this wasn’t a moment where she thought better of telling all in public. There was something much darker behind her decision.
ABC ‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Big Reveal Ahead
In future episodes, they dealt more with the situation. We’ll cover a few moments from the special episodes in another article. For now, Elizabeth dragged Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) into her choice. Which was to do nothing.
Nikolas, to his credit, wasn’t a fan of the idea and he tried to talk Elizabeth into telling the truth. For once, a character pointed out the practical concerns involved with a switch/coverup like this. Namely, small things like DNA and fingerprints. It makes the truth inevitable, and he figured it was best to just be done with it. Elizabeth, on the other hand, felt differently. ‘General Hospital’ spoilers indicate she saw it as a “deal with that if/when it happens” moment. It is a bit of a drastic thing from the Elizabeth we’ve become accustomed to seeing. But it does show a common weakness amongst characters.
ABC ‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Pushed Too Far
Ultimately, Elizabeth’s selfish/cruel choice came out of frustration and desperation. Apparently, she’d been given the short end of the stick so many times, she couldn’t take it again. With Jason unaware of who he really is, they could finally have their chance at happiness.
General Hospital spoilers hint that Hayden Barnes’ (Rebecca Budig) part in the deception might have been the final straw. The way she saw it, people were scheming and cheating people all the time with no consequences. In fact, they got what they wanted usually. Elizabeth wanted that for herself, and she got pushed far enough to resolve she’d do anything to get her own happiness. Sometimes, you just have to look in the mirror and see what kind of monsters you might have created.
