The death of General Hospital’s Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) has had everyone reeling in Port Charles. She heroically donated part of her liver to save the life of Lulu Falconeri (Alexa Havins), and although it was a success, Sam shockingly died from a heart attack while she was recovering.
Co-Chief of Staff Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) is investigating and has been focused on determining whether Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) may have been responsible. But another worrisome event occurred that opens the door to speculation that Sam’s death may not have been as simple as an unforeseen medical occurrence.

While Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) tries to pick up the pieces of his life after his girlfriend Sam’s tragic death, the police detective may not be in the frame of mind to see that something sinister could have caused her demise. He’s had to inform his son Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) that his mom passed away, while Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) has also had to do the same with him and Sam’s child, Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante). Even Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) has had to be there for his and Sam’s son, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn). So, as all the dads of Sam’s kids have had to hold their families together during this trying time, they’re unaware of something else that happened.
Lucas recently returned to Port Charles, and his demeanor thus far has had fans wondering if he’s heading to the dark side like his father, the late former mobster Julian Jerome (William deVry). Portia claims she’s not seeking a scapegoat in Sam’s death, and Lucas seems genuinely heartbroken because he was the surgeon who extracted the piece of liver from Sam.
However, Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) saw that something was wrong when the ventilator for the comatose Lulu failed. Fortunately, he was at her bedside and helped save Lulu’s life. He and Lucas discussed how a machine serviced regularly could simply fail, making them suspect foul play.
Once again, Lucas was tangentially involved, but even if he did sabotage the ventilator for some reason, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to do something to Sam during surgery that would cause her death because all eyes would be on him as a suspect. Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) has been at Lulu’s side unattended several times, but he’s supposedly turned away from his life of crime, and Lulu is his niece.
The villain Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is in Port Charles right now and could have sabotaged the ventilator to show Lulu’s brother Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) that he can hurt his family. But Sidwell recently kidnapped Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) to force her mother, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms), to give back his diamonds. He’s too focused on his treasure to waste time surreptitiously causing havoc.
There’s something larger afoot here, and a possible killer may be lurking in Port Charles. Who that could be remains a mystery, but hopefully, as more people start to put the pieces together, the killer will be stopped before they claim another life.
