After the latest revelation, General Hospital fans are wondering why Michael never turned in Willow to the authorities. Fans have taken to social media to speculate on the reasoning behind his decision. Is he secretly trying to get back his ex-wife, or is he just trying to protect his kids?
Here’s what the fans are saying about it.
General Hospital fans react to why Michael didn’t turn Willow in
Toward the end of the General Hospital’s January 8 episode, the show revealed that Willow is the one who took the gun and shot Drew. Despite her denial of ever committing any of the crimes when she was on the stand, flashbacks revealed the truth to the viewers.
However, one mystery has left viewers scratching their heads. It has long been established that Michael was also present near Drew’s house the night he was shot. Michael often defended himself, saying that he never went inside, but a flashback from a few weeks ago hinted that he might’ve actually done the opposite.
This prompted viewers to speculate that he didn’t shoot Drew; instead, he witnessed the crime. Now that the shooter’s identity has been revealed, many fans are wondering if Michael did see Willow shooting Drew, and if yes, why didn’t he try to expose her?
A user took to the show’s Facebook page, asking others their theories on the situation. They wrote, “So, if Michael saw Willow, why wouldn’t he just turn her in?”
Many fans replied with their own speculations. One user commented, “I believe Michael doesn’t want his kids to know he turned in their mother when they get older, he wants the law to convict Willow without him having to be the reason his children’s mother goes to jail.” Another said, “He’s protecting his kids.”
Several viewers believe that Michael still loves Willow. A user wrote, “I think it’s pretty obvious. He doesn’t want the mother of his children to go to prison. He may or may not still love her, but he definitely still has love for her.”
Some even speculate that he didn’t turn her in because they’re working together, with one writing, “They are working together. Did you see him blink once when she looked at him when she had to answer a question?”
While these are just fan theories, the show has yet to address the matter. So, keep tuning into General Hospital to find out the reason, if there is any.
