General Hospital (GH) spoilers and rumors tease Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) may not be as dead as the proverbial doornail after all.
It looked like Mac Scorpio (John J. York) shot him to death as he rescued Ava Jerome (Maura West) but maybe he wasn’t dead?
General Hospital Spoilers – Kevin Collins Said Goodbye And Zipped Up The Bag
Ryan was shot on the same night his and Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) daughter Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) gave birth to Ace Prince-Cassadine (Joey and Jay Clay).
She was on the living room floor of Wyndemere and had run away from Ryan, who she was terrified of now-and Heather; Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) was hooked and unconscious.
As Kevin and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) assisted in the birth, Ava was in the fight of her life with Ryan in the woods.
Heather was in the castle watching the birth, although by that time restrained; and Mac showed up behind Ava just in time to shoot Ryan.
Ava had tried but the gun she had, which she got away from Ryan, had jammed; Ryan was left in the woods with Kevin taken by Mac later to say goodbye.
GH Spoilers – Ryan Chamberlain Faked Locked-In Syndrome Two Years Plus
Ryan faked locked-in syndrome two years or more, who’s to say he couldn’t slow down his heart rate to a barely perceptible pulse?
Remember, there were two other people thought dead who supposedly didn’t have a pulse who lived-one, Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss) the other Peter August (Wes Ramsey).
As for Ryan, he was thought burned up in a fire and dead for twenty-five years before he returned-the DVX had rescued him and trained him-likely as an assassin.
The last time Ryan was seen was when Kevin said goodbye, and the body bag zipped back up-nothing was said of what happened to him afterwards.
General Hospital Spoilers – Ryan Chamberlain Killed Austin Gatlin-Holt Jealous For Ava Jerome?
Ryan could have killed Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) jealous for Ava-Austin would have recognized him but thought he was Kevin if he hid the arm with no hand.
Ryan would be forgetting one important component in Ava’s life, however, and that’s Nikolas-he may not know he’s alive. Not that he’d care about Nikolas, but he could be more competition to eliminate for Ava.
Ryan could have made a misstep intending to frame Nikolas for Austin’s murder if he does know he’s alive.
Ava would have outsmarted him when she refused to turn the “thank you note” with the photo of Austin dead into the police and instead burned it!
