General Hospital fans slam Laura as she supports a ‘psychotic villain’ after she ‘ruthlessly terrorized a town’

General Hospital fans slammed Laura as she continued to advocate for a “psychotic villain” that “ruthlessly terrorized” Port Charles.

During the latest action-packed episode, Laura continued to stand behind Heather Webber despite the many controversial decisions she’s made over the years from from escaping mental institutions to drugging and killing innocent people. Laura’s latest attempt at redeeming Heather’s reputation came when she spoke to Mac Scorpio.

During their discussion, Laura attempted to explain that Heather was innocent and her behavior was due to lead poisoning. She said to Mac: “Heather was diagnosed with matalosis which is a kind of a blood posioning which was caused by a faulty hip implant.”

To which Mac skeptically replied: “You’re telling me a bum hip made Heather a murderer?” To which Laura responded: “It’s a condition that causes psychosis which no one knew about at the time that Heather plead guilty. So maybe her case should be re-opened.”

But Mac was unconvinced by Laura’s explanation and said: “Heather was a willing participant when Ryan nearly killed me and went after Falicia. You were there on Spoon Island. She knew exactly what she was doing.” To which Laura insisted that Heather wouldn’t have made the decisions she had chosen if the poison was not in her system and stood by medical professionals.

Despite Laura insisting that Heather’s choices were influenced by the poisoning, Mac refused to change his stance on Heather’s past. He cut-off the conversation as he said to Laura: “The world is full of toxins – we all adjust. I mean there’s always something new every day that we find out could be bad for us but it doesn’t turn us into serial killers.”

After the discussion General Hospital fans took to X, formerly Twitter, sharing their thoughts on Laura defending Heather. One viewer wrote: “Storyline where the murderer gets off scott free for ruthlessly terrorizing a town, killing a cop and an army vet, and happy worked with CRIMINAL AND MURDERER RYAN. Not a single focus on the victims or victims surviving family members…”

And another added: “Please end this story. Please! Heather has been a criminal long before the hip replacement! Laura is smarter than this.” And a third said: “Why are you persisting with this horrendous storyline and making longtime viewers who have been watching since Laura and Scotty were the couple, tune out?! I can’t stand how you’ve wrecked my fave, Laura, making her prop psychotic villains like Esme, Heather, and Cyrus.”
