General Hospital fans have strong feelings about Willow. Some feel sorry for her, while others believe she is getting what she deserves. There is one thing that most agree on concerning her arrest.
Key Takeaways
- The PCPD arrested both Willow and Nina after uncovering new details in Drew’s shooting case.
- Willow was handcuffed in front of Wiley and Amelia during their first visit in weeks.
- Fans blasted Anna and Dante for arresting her in front of the children.
- Michael’s inaction during the arrest left viewers furious.
- Social media erupted over what many called General Hospital’s most tone-deaf moment in months.
Willow and Nina Under Arrest
Edward’s (the late John Ingle) gun was found at Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) house, where Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is staying. It also just so happens that Willow and Nina (Cynthia Watros) are each other’s alibi. Now, the PCPD has finally figured out that mother and daughter were not together at the time of Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting.
Arrests are made. Chase (Josh Swickard) goes to Bobbies to arrest Nina (how did he know she was there?). At the same time, Anna (Finola Hughes) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) burst into Willow’s visitation session with her children to take her into custody. This is where fans see a problem.
Not In Front Of The Children
Wiley (Viron Weaver) and Amelia (Sequoia & Serenity Mork Macko) haven’t seen their mom in quite a while. Just as they are having their first visit, the PCPD bangs on the door. The therapist explains that they are in the middle of a session, but Anna and Dante insist on arresting her anyway, right in front of the kids. Really?
As if these two children haven’t been through enough, they had to witness their mother being hauled off to the police station in handcuffs. Fans are livid. One would think that Anna would have more sense than that. Plus, it was Wiley and Amelia’s uncle who arrested their mom.
As for Michael, whether he set this up or not, he should have taken his kids out of the room so they didn’t see what was happening. Holding them on the couch did not help.
One Facebook user wrote, “Seriously, I’m no Willow fan BUT arresting her in front of her kids is low, very low.” Another said, “Arresting Willow in front of her kids was horrid.” They should have done better.
