It’s been a few weeks on the General Hospital canvas since Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) was arrested for the murder of John Cates (Adam J. Harrington). Since then, her daughters have been frantically trying to do what they can to get her released, knowing she’s innocent. Sam (Kelly Monaco) even proposed diving into the water to find the gun Alexis tossed, knowing if police analyzed it, they’d see it wasn’t the one used to murder John.
Along those lines, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Jason (Steve Burton) were also on the hunt for the gun. Sonny initially had no intention of confessing to the murder and went to Carly (Laura Wright) to provide him with an alibi. However, as the walls started closing in on Alexis, Sonny was all but ready to confess to the crime in the General Hospital episode airing on October 10. He even told Carly to flee the country with Donna (Scarlett Spears) so she wouldn’t be prosecuted for lying, to which she angrily refused.
