General Hospital (GH) spoilers indicate that the mystery around how Sam McCall’s storyline exit might finally be solved. It seems as if the soap has laid the foundation around how the character might be killed, off the cusp of the announcement that both Sam and Kelly Monaco are leaving the show this fall.

During the Wednesday, September 18 episode, Sam (who’s temporarily being played by Lindsay Hartley) came up with a plan that would finally “save” her mom from the sticky situation she’s in. However, fans can’t help but think it’ll be one more tragedy that could pull the Davis girls further apart.

General Hospital Spoilers – Alexis Davis’ Pentonville Stint Has Rocked The Davis Family

GH spoilers note that during Wednesday’s episode, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) was refused bail during her hearing.

She’s been charged with the shooting of FBI agent John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington), and with the agency bringing in their big guns and a no-nonsense lawyer, the attorney insisted that Alexis was a flight risk due to her history.

Sam, Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos), and Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) were devastated when the judge ordered their mom to Pentonville to await her trial.

Of course, all three girls know that their mom didn’t do it – and all three “know” that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is behind the shooting.

The fact of the matter is, the gun Alexis threw over the bridge was not used in John Cates’ shooting, and during Wednesday’s show, Sam came up with a dire plan and shared it with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). As she’s an expert diver, she could go into the river and find the gun herself, clear Alexis, and move forward with healing her family.

Although Dante didn’t like the idea, as the river is “choppy”, Sam insisted she could do it. Her boyfriend knew all too well that he wouldn’t be able to talk her out of it, so he relented.

GH Spoilers – The Aftermath Of Sam McCall’s Death

This entire scenario screams “drowning and presumed death”. As fans know Sam is on her way out, the soap might be setting things up for the character’s exit.

Plus, the aftermath of Sam risking her life to find the gun to clear her mom’s name would cause heartache, devastation, pain, and plenty of drama.

Alexis would crumble. She’s landed in jail to protect one daughter and risked the life of her other. Meanwhile, Kristina would be an emotional mess, as her actions of taking her dad’s gun landed her mom in this mess in the first place.

This could also cause a further wedge between Kristina and Molly, as Molly would blame her sister for not only landing her mom in jail but causing the death of her other sister.

Then there’s Sonny. He’s the one who shot John Cates and didn’t come forward – so Molly would have a field day of blame for her uncle. Would Dante point the finger of blame toward his dad, too?

Will this river dive mission for Sonny’s gun be Sam’s storyline exit? Share your thoughts in the comment section. Watch the ABC soap daily to follow all the drama and visit this site for all the best General Hospital spoilers, news, and updates.
