General Hospital Spoilers: Here’s The Truth About Heather’s Medical Crisis

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Alley opened up about Laura and Heather’s meeting at Pentonville. Recalling the scene, she said, “Before you called, I was thinking about Heather’s relationship with Laura in the past and recently. Ever since the whole hip replacement thing started, Laura has been pretty receptive and kind to her. Unexpectedly. They have this new, odd relationship based on Ace. Heather is clearly the underdog in that particular relationship. With the mayor of the town, there’s a tentative trust. ‘What is it really gonna be? Will she really protect me?’ I think Heather is really brave, she’s a little pit bull, but when it comes to intimate things, that’s where her vulnerability is.”

Now, as far as whether or not Heather feels any remorse for what she did, Alley says, “She does remember absolutely everything that she did. There’s no question about the fact that she did it; she remembers all the details. But suddenly, a new emotion comes that had not been part of her scenario in rescuing Esme and always fighting for her daughter. It’s suddenly like, why on earth would that involve murder? What made me think that would be a good thing to do? It all made perfect sense to Heather, before the surgery, that she should have revenge on all those people that were trying to destroy her daughter. But now that things are clearing, it doesn’t make any sense to her that she would think that murder was the solution.”

Alley also said that Heather won’t lose any of her quirkiness while she’s in detox. The actress put it this way, “And the reason that I won’t let her is because I’ve met too many people in parking lots that identify with me, who I feel are fellow scrappers, and they love her. They love the fighter in her, they love how smart she is. They love that she’s always thinking and manipulating and winning, with a punk kind of spirit. That’s my favorite fan base and I can’t disappoint them. I won’t give it up. I’ll fight any writing that gives it up, because that’s who she is.”
