Has the verdict been reached?

Friday’s spoilers reveal that Willow (Caitlin McMullen) is waiting for news about her fate. Trina (Tabiana Ali), Kai (Jens Austin Astrup), Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Diane (Caroline Hennessy, back in time for GH) all know she’s guilty with a capital G. However, will the jury?

Alexis knew the truth and could do something about it. But if she does, she could ruin her career and any chance of being in Scout’s life. So, aside from that nasty gaffe, she remained silent during her closing arguments. Did she trip on purpose?

Now Willow waits, acting as if she’s still the same sweet, innocent nurse who’s the victim rather than the villain. That’s another “V” word: verdict. Has the jury reached one person? The answer may be Friday’s cliffhanger.

Plus, Alexis has to explain her actions, which could mean she’s chatting with Trina and Kai again. They made a strategic decision to go to Alexis instead of the police. Because they knew they would be in big trouble if they called the police. They committed the crime the night of Drew’s shooting, and apparently, they didn’t want to pay the price.

Shocked hostages

Poor Anna (Finola Hughes). All this time has passed and she is still imprisoned. She was not doing well. Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Pascal (Mark Fugit) do their best to keep her from realizing she’s on Spoon Island. They made her think she was in a French-speaking country somewhere in the world.

But on Friday, a trailer showed her in shock. Shocking news may come to learn that her fake flat is located in the ruins of Windermere. Or the shocking news could be that Rose Callum (Andrew Hawkes), the current director of World Security, is one of the forces behind this cold fusion madness and is imprisoning her. Now he wants to move her to an unknown location.

Anna tries to save herself. At this point, she needs rescue.

Other news

There are two more conversations worth watching on Friday. First, Chase (Josh Swickard) encourages Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), who is currently questioning everything about himself and his job in the Willow Kane case.

Then Nina (Cynthia Watros) sends another warning to Drew (Cameron Matheson). Whenever these two roads cross, someone seems to be either throwing insults or drawing a line in the sand. Nina continues to defend her daughter and hates Drew’s presence in Willow’s life. She clearly wants Willow to kick Drew to the curb once the verdict is out. But what happens when Nina learns that her daughter is indeed guilty? Will she still be on her side then?
