GENERAL HOSPITAL: The Identity of ‘The Hook’ Revealed

54
I hope that Britt does not die. I would rather see her go off screen to some “far away clinic” since prime time shows come and go… but GH has proven it’s “staying power”. Kelly Thiebaud is always welcome back, in my opinion.
When does this HOOK actor finally get caught
It’s getting pretty boring on and on and on
Come on GH this is getting a little boring you are gonna loose a lot of GH watchers if you keep going on and on with these boring situations for ever and ever
Totally agree with you!!
I agree! Geez, move on with catching the Hook character. And how the heck could she go & come freely like she does with no one missing her. I enjoyed the storyline for awhile but let it go already…along with the whole Esme stuff too!
GH should have replaced Brit-not kill her off. Her character was worth watching-especially her relationship with shady Coby. Bring the character back.
They had better not kill Britt, keep the door open for this great actress/character.
@mike I completely agree! What a great character Britt was and then you leave Leisel with no kids. This is cruel and terrible!
I realize people move on when the story gets boring and opportunity knocks move on to better things.
Also hoping this is not the end for Britt Westbourne. She’s too good a character to be dead-dead. Then again, so were Alan, Georgie and AJ. As for Heather being “the Hook”, there’s a lot that doesn’t make sense. Why would Heather Target Ava, who was one of Franco’s few friends? Is she only out to avenge one of her children? Peter would’ve been a target once it became knowledge he killed Franco and Heather certainly held a grudge on Olivia as she perceived her to have wronged Steven Lars. And just how did a senior citizen woman easily overpower… Read more »
They ought to just open up the parapet as a theme park tourist attraction … $5 per jump. Nobody EVER dies from that fall!
Katherine Bell (on her second try) actually did meet her maker. Not sure anyone else ever made a permanent departure.
I really hate it when soaps do this. Heather was not on the canvas when the storyline began and it’s another LONG mystery with a dud ending. I felt that Heather killed Rory in the mistaken idea that she was helping Esme, who she thinks is the hook – unless she was lying to Ryan she didn’t know that Esme was her daughter (of course she could have lied to him). My hope is that it is revealed that ESME was the hook before being held prisoner at Wyndemere but Heather took over for her. I know they will do… Read more »
I agree she wasn’t. She was still in prison not the mental hospital
Joss & Dex….. worst soap couple since Tony & Renee on Days in 1982. For the exact same reason. I suppose she’ll end up pregnant before she realizes she’s a brotherphucker.
As for Britt getting hooked… 666% completely unnecessary, since she was on her way out of town anyway.
And yeah… Heather’s the Hooker… who didn’t see that coming from 666 miles away??
Yup, Satan–we did discuss Heather. If not Rory ( albeit, I still think he was a baddie, somehow), then Heather. I remember saying specifically it was probably H–she re-appeared at the most opportune time. Joss is a ______–I refrain from saying IT!! Plus, that puny guy with droopy shoulders is so not for her. Agreed, a badly mismatched couple. Poor Cameron!! I hope Joss and the other guy do not last–the greatest payback would be for Cam to find a girl and for Joss to regret her lusty decision—(lust fades, love endures), and be left in the dust. I had… Read more »
Happy 2023, Celia. But not for the viewers! If Britt is truly dead (is anyone on soaps?), this is another in a long syndrome of catastrophic ideas. Wow, Joss is truly Carly’s daughter, eh? Just cheat and fornicate your way thru town with no guilt. My nan would dub her ‘la puttana’. But hey, how about that wallop Ava gave Nikolas at GH…that looked like it hurt!
Same to you, beautiful lady—Happy New Year!! I was taken aback by Joss’s behavior. I really liked her—lost all respect for her. Break up first; cheat later—I must admit I am very old-fashioned. After all these years, I can still hear my grandmother’s pounding in my brain, “keep your legs crossed”—-LOL. Well, her mother is neither virtuous nor honest—having sex with all three brothers–WOW!! What an achievement!! –“puttana” is right!! My nonna-in-law loves the word “troia”—fits Carly to the letter. Hurrah for Ava!! If anyone deserved that “schiaffo”? it was definitely Nikolas!! I am as annoyed and disappointed about the… Read more »
Oh Celia, I like CHICAGO MED also but was disappointed when Ethan Choi left. He really fed my fetish for incredible hair..and the rest of him was pretty hot as well. Will Halstead has become such a wimp…they need another strong leading man, STAT!
Dr. Ethan’s exit is a bummer, Soaphound—-I could get lost in his hair—-
The consolation prize is that he and April were reunited and left together. To be honest, I love Yaya—-more so than Mishael.
At least I can stomach Joss & Dex, who arguably have good chemistry. Worst soap couples (GH nominees) were the vomit-inducing, short-lived dalliances between Luke & Felicia and Sonny & Emily.
To bad the hook didn’t get cheating jostlin!
It doesn’t make any sense that Heather Webber is the hook killer.
Hey, Michael—Heather is Esme’s mother. So, I’m assuming that in her distorted brain, she’s defending her daughter from those whom have hurt her.
However, I do see your point–I’m a little confused–I did not realuze she knew Esme was in PC. Therefore, I have my own take on this entire craziness–I think the original Hooker was Rory. Heather merely picked up where he left off. Ok, ok—not plausible? I’ve guessed right a few times before…LOL.
I know she’s her Mom, but it doesn’t make sense that she’s able to escape from prison and kill people without anyone noticing.
Oh, Michael, Heather has a knack for breaking out of prison. I am not a long-time watcher of GH, but I do believe that’s her modus operandi
However, at the risk of sounding repetitious, I do not think Heather is THE real Hooker.
Hi Celia, Your theory makes sense.
Thank you, Lew–Heather’s impromptu appearance makes me wonder. Maybe the PTB are tired of this story themselves and are grasping at straws. Heather is a convenient alternative—
I think “the real hook” hasn’t been exposed yet. I think Heather was a filler……
Is it possible that Esme has multiple personality disorder? That would explain why she truly believes she is not the Hook & why Heather picked up where her other personality left off after being held captive by Nicholas.And why she doesn’t remember who she is now after jumping off the parapet pregnant and getting hypothermia. Kevin doesn’t seem to think she is faking the memory loss.
What a difference between the Alley Mills/Pam on B&B’s closing holiday show, and her crossover role in GH as deranged Heather Webber. Both in almost the same week. She’s been great in both roles.
Alley Mills is doing a great job as the deranged Heather Weber!!
She was great!!!
It wasn’t a total surprise that it is Heather. The real mystery now is how she managed to get out and back into her “prison” without being noticed?
Britt had better make it. Kelly is too great an actress for her character to be killed off.
Hope Diane runs across Heather soon and it jolts her memory; thus, putting an end to Heather’s latest reign of terror.
Heather has been escaping from various prisons & mental institutions for years, so that’s at least consistent with her character. You may also have noticed that she has been letting herself in and out of Ryan’s cell at Spring Ridge with a key. Presumably stole a key ring from a guard somehow, so that key ring would probably also have keys to other doors that would let her out of the prison to do some hooking. The security at Spring Ridge can’t be all that great, because Spencer was able to walk out of there, visit his mother Courtney’s grave,… Read more »
I figured it would be “Heather the Hook!” Thats okay, the new actress portraying Heather is “Killing it!” I thought the Hook would have gotten Jeff Weber when he was in town. But, I didnt want Britt or Joss to get it. The girl who plays Joss is great! Britch, I still think her mother sends her off to a clinic out of the country and she will heal and find Jason and both will return to PC by 2024. Esme, that actress is another one, so talented. She has horrible parents but like Ava and Sonny, the writers will… Read more »
Lazy, unimaginative, anti-climactic.
While Alley Mills is great as Heather making her the hook is a big letdown. Killing Britt is a giant waste for the show.
There was no need to kill Britt. Now poor Leisel doesn’t have any kids left. This is terrible.
Oh no!!!Killing Britt…..what a sad day!She was such a great character….Why?Heather kind of makes sense to me a the hook but not the most shocking!Heart breaking scenes with Josh and Cam….do love Joss and Dex they have great chemistry!Esme is just annoying on all levels!!!!
Liesl and Britt’s last toast, ending with Britt dying in Mutter’s arms was probably the first time I was brought to tears in a soap. Kathleen was outstanding. Let’s hope this isn’t really Britt’s last breath on GH. Being a soap you never know.
I know they “showed” Heather as the “hook” killer, but something seems wrong with this to me. If the attacks were to get back at Esme’s enemies, since she was her daughter, Heather wasn’t always discriminating on who she attacked. And timeline-wise GH didn’t show Esme was her daughter until well into the attacks. This during a conversation with Ryan, her father. So I’m not sure the writers don’t have another surprise about the “hook.”
rose
I agree. This hook thing is so convoluted. On one hand, every victim was an enemy of Esme, starting with Ava and the second intended was Joss, also the last one. I can’t figure the attack on Diane, she hardly knew Esme.As you said Heather didn’t know Esme was her and Ryan’s daughter until recently, I think there are two Hooks as some others are saying.
Also, where would Heather be getting the poison used on the hook?
There was a guy who was supplying the snake venom. That’s the other body who was found on the floor in the apartment where Rory got hooked. Remember when this Heather recast first appeared, she was being treated at GH for an infection of a flesh eating bacteria, the specific type being native to the Amazon rain forest in South America… which was also the source of the venom used by the Hooker. So Heather definitely fits that part of the Hooker’s profile. You just have to suspend your disbelief that a woman who should be over 70 by now… Read more »
So dumb that it’s heather…whyy
I think it’s ridiculous that Heather is the hook. It lacks imagination of any sort on the writers’ part. Ryan’s obsession with Ava is so old and overdone. I’m so disappointed that Britt was killed. Couldn’t she have left like she wanted to so she could return from time to time to visit Liesl? Poor Liesl has lost both kids. If not for the brilliance of Kathleen and Kelly, Britt’s death scene would have stunk!! It was really nice seeing Roger and Kathleen together on-screen too. While Alley Mills portrays Heather perfectly, the hook should have been someone else. And… Read more »
I am so sick of the bulshit, on GH, they have the worst writers can they not come up with any other ideas .besides amnesia, everyone and their mother gets amnesia, God knows no one loses their memory from a stabbing, but on GH, now you have Esme losing hers, Please atop the BS and lock Nicolas and Elizabeth up for kidnapping, Tell Nina she Willow mother, and burst Carly bubble and move on to some new storylines what’s it been 3 yrs of the same old stuff. This stuff is so old!!!!!!!!
I think Heather Webber as “The Hook” is a let down. It wasn’t a OMG moment. Ryan, for one, would have made it better!
Debbie
I thought Ryan was the hook but realized he wouldn’t have tried killing his beloved Ava, but the thing that bothers me the most is how did this Hook person know where each victim was each time, did they just get lucky or did they just attack who was available? It’s crazy!
How can Heather be the hook killer? The hook killer’s 1st victim ,Ava, was way before Heather knew that Esme was around. And we’re supposed to believe that Rory was killed at that apartment by Heather! Heather used her right hand when fighting with Nicholas & then Britt. The original hook killer was left handed.
Enough of Heather Webber! GH could’ve picked someone, anyone else. Why flog a dead horse.
Heather’s a copycat Hook Killer she might have killed the last two but she didn’t attack the others. This is a red herring. I still think it’s someone else well known on the show that we will be totally shocked to find out is the initial Hook Killer and that is hoping the writers are that creative which I hope they are.
I think Elizabeth will be revealed as the Hook. Small but mighty.
If they turn the last surviving member of Steve Hardy’s family into a serial killer, that would only be 666% confirmation that they are deliberately trying to get GH cancelled in 2023.
(as if the show becoming the Parasite Nina Praise & Worship Hour wasn’t already evidence enough of that!)
