“I wish I could say it was nice knowing you, but it wasn’t,”
quipped General Hospital’s Madeline (played by 2015 Daytime Emmy winner and Knots
Landing star Donna Mills), right after plunging a knife into the back of
thorn-in-her side Silas (Michael Eston), bringing to an end the month-long
murder mystery.
The suspects had been plentiful. There was Morgan, who
wanted to keep Silas from spilling the beans about Morgan cheating on his
girlfriend, Kiki, with Kiki’s presumed aunt (really her secretly back from the
dead mother). There was Franco, the former serial killer who actually confessed
to the crime in order to protect Nina, Silas’ equally unstable ex-wife, freshly
out of a 20 year coma. There was Nina’s new husband, Ric, who’d only married
Nina for her money. And then there was Nina’s mother, Madeline. She and Ric
were in cahoots to steal Nina’s trust fund.
Madeline needed Silas’ signature on some documents to carry
out her insidious plan, so killing him really wasn’t very smart on her part.
In spite of that, Madeline nevertheless had a darn good
reason for being the one to knock off Silas. Every other suspect was a contract
player. Donna Mills is recurring.
In soap-land, that’s the best reason of all.
