The Slap Heard Around Port Charles
While Rocco (Finn Carr) is being held in a jail cell until his bail hearing, his family has been in scrambles trying to save him. As Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) learned the truth from Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) contemplated her next move, Laura (Genie Francis) needed to do her civic duty and vote.
She ran into Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Nathan (Ryan Paevey) at the polling place full of voters, but it was when Dalton (Daniel Goddard) walked in that things took a turn. The professor began taunting the mayor over her jailed grandson, and Laura being Laura, she wasn’t about to go down without a fight.
In front of several witnesses holding their phones, Laura tore into Dalton for going after a child and lying about what happened in his lab. Then, in a moment that shocked characters and viewers alike, Laura slapped Dalton across the face in a moment of rage.
Of course, slapping a civilian in a room full of witnesses and a cop is sure to be a deciding factor in Port Charles’ vote for mayor, but that’s not all this slap may do. The General Hospital spoilers preview for the week tease a horrified Laura just as Sidwell (Carlo Rota) exacts revenge. Could Dalton’s days be numbered, with Laura there to take the fall?
