A Murderous Muddle: Did Valentin Kill Madeline on General Hospital?

Oh, no, General Hospital! Not Madeline! As long as the scheming mama was behind bars, fans could always hope for her return to wreak more havoc as only she can.

But now… Madeline (Donna Mills) is dead! (Or so we’ve been told. It’s a soap, so anything can happen, just ask… pretty much anyone in Port Charles.)

Madeline shuffled off her mortal coil soon after she confessed to Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) that Nina’s (Michelle Stafford) baby wasn’t miscarried more than 20 years ago while she lay in a coma. The baby was born alive, and Madeline arranged for her to be adopted.

Dumbness Doesn’t Become Him
Valentin isn’t an idiot, the remaining 39% counter. Finding Nina’s daughter is a daunting task, and he’d need Madeline’s help.

He’s smart enough to know she was smart enough not to tell him everything she knew on the first go-around. Killing Madeline would be killing Valentin’s golden goose before she’d laid all her eggs!
