General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that it has been months since Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) was gunned down in his own home and left to bleed out alone.
Port Charles residents didn’t even realize Austin was missing for over a week and with the exception of Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms), no one has even mentioned him in recent weeks.
What happened to Austin may be connected to something much more sinister involving Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
