General Hospital Week Ahead Spoilers: Brendon’s Dead – Harmony Scrambles to Act Normal

General Hospital spoilers say a dead body will be discovered this week at the pier. The body will be of Brendon Byrne. He’s been in Port Charles trying to swindle cash from Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) for her part in his brother Neil Byrne’s (Joe Flanigan) death. However, Brendon quickly recognized Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) from his brother’s case files and realizes she is his meal ticket. So Brendon’s putting the pressure on Harmony to get him a huge payoff or he will expose her dirty little secret. GH watchers know Harmony “stole” Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) as a baby from her rightful mother Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros).

General Hospital spoilers remind Brendon is unaware Harmony actually is the one who murdered his brother. However, the guilt is getting to Harmony as the walls close in on her. Then Alexis makes a ghastly discovery at the pier when Brendon’s dead body surfaces. Harmony also shows up at the pier per GH spoilers. However she doesn’t come clean to her best friend. Rather, Harmony continues to try to act normal and spend as much time with her “daughter” Willow.

GH Spoilers: Sonny Corinthos Shows His Strength with a Bold Move

General Hospital spoilers say the crime world sees Sonny Corinthos’ territory as vulnerable. A series of events over the last year has left outsiders sensing Sonny’s hold over Port Charles has lost its strength. Sonny was MIA for a year and presumed dead. Plus his right hand and his strong arm henchmen Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) also is presumed dead. Meanwhile, the Five Families alliance is now just two families – with Sonny and Selena Wu (Linda Look) running the crime scene.

Sonny Corinthos’ organization is being threatened as seen this week on General Hospital. Sonny refuses to allow his hard work to go down the drain. He is determined to reassert his presence and dominance over any crime family thinking that they can move in on his turf. This week on GH Sonny makes one of the boldest moves in his career – sending a loud message he is not to be messed with.

Sonny’s certainly been a little distracted lately. So of course it’s easy to imagine others making a move. However this week on General Hospital,  he’s about to make it clear that when it comes to his territory, he’s large and very much in charge.
