GH Spoilers: Heather Fights For Custody of Ace, Alexis Fears Revenge

As Heather is officially released from prison, anxiety and tension sweep over Port Charles.

Her name has long been a symbol of fear due to her history of brutal crimes, and although medical experts attribute her violent behavior to cobalt poisoning—causing delusions and uncontrollable impulses—many remain unconvinced this excuses her past actions.

Few believe Heather has genuinely changed, and suspicions linger that she may be planning to reoffend.

Heather’s son, Steven, has returned to Port Charles to reunite with her and take her away from the town.

Thrilled to have family once more, Heather also harbors a hidden ambition: to take her grandson, Ace, and start a new life elsewhere.

She sees Ace as an inseparable part of her bloodline, and this idea stirs concern among those aware of Heather’s dark past. They fear Ace’s presence could lead to danger, not only for him but for everyone around them.

Despite these fears, Heather clings to her plan, seeing Ace as her last chance to find redemption and rebuild her life.

Following Esme’s death, Heather has been deeply worried about Ace’s future and feels determined to fill the void by caring for him herself.

To her, this is more than a desire—it’s a mission. But her determination has led her down a familiar dark path, with Heather unafraid to resort to schemes and hidden tactics to ensure Ace remains with her.

Heather’s request for custody shocks Alexis, whom she confronts with intense, demanding determination.

Alexis knows Heather’s troubled past and mentally unstable behaviors, which makes her deeply alarmed at the thought of placing Ace in Heather’s care.

She recognizes the risks Heather poses, understanding that her manipulative nature could pull the boy into dangerous schemes.

Although Heather speaks of love and care, Alexis senses a much darker agenda lurking beneath her words and expressions.

Facing this unexpected demand, Alexis realizes that protecting Ace is her duty, even if it means opposing Heather head-on.

As she contemplates how to safeguard Ace’s future, she knows that Heather’s request is only the beginning of a deeper, darker plan.

Alexis senses that if Heather cannot obtain custody legally, she may resort to far more sinister means, even violence, to achieve her goal. This thought sends a shiver down her spine.

Determined to protect Ace, Alexis begins taking steps to ensure his safety, even considering legal restrictions against Heather.

But she also knows Heather won’t back down easily and may escalate her efforts if thwarted. Will Alexis succeed in shielding Ace from Heather’s revenge, or will Heather find a way to execute her dark intentions?

Stay tuned to General Hospital to follow the tense standoff between these two women and the bold decisions Alexis must make to keep Ace safe.
