5 Reasons GH’s Carly and Valentin Shouldn’t Let Their Guards Down

Jack Brennan's dead body has finally been found on General Hospital. While Carly Spencer and Valentin Cassadine became the prime suspects, with multiple reasons and evidence pointing at them, a twist led to their release. Dr. Tristan Roberts recalled seeing Drew Cain and Ava Jerome loading a heavy object from a laundry cart onto Drew's car in the Metro Court parking lot.

At the same time, Serena Baldwin falsely claimed to have seen Carly and Valentin romancing in the hotel at the time of Jack's death. The PCPD and the DA's office let Carly and Valentin go due to insufficient evidence. However, this may not be the end of trouble for them.

5 Things That May Endanger Carly and Valentin's Position

1) The DA's office and the PCPD will look out for a slip-up

As fans know, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) were the first people to be suspected after Jack Brennan's (Chris McKenna) body was found on the nature preserve. While Carly refused to take a plea and throw Valentin under the bus for something neither one of them did, new developments pointed the PCPD towards other suspects, Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).

As such, the PCPD let Carly and Valentin go but will continue to monitor their movements and actions. Since both of them would be under the radar, they must stay vigilant about who they communicate with and their own whereabouts. As Valentin predicted, the PCPD may be observing them for slip-ups and mistakes to haul them back.

2) Drew and Ava may plan new strategies

After Jack's body was found, and Carly and Valentin were arrested, Drew and Ava were much more relaxed. On Drew's insistence, the criminal duo even celebrated being non-suspects. However, after Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) gave the PCPD a statement about seeing Ava and Drew haul a heavy object onto Drew's car on the night Jack disappeared, the conspiring duo may have the PCPD on their heels soon.

With Carly and Valentin's release, a worried Ava and Drew may plan their next moves meticulously. They may try to hoodwink the authorities, plant fake evidence to point at others or push one another under the bus. As GH fans may remember, Drew had already planted evidence to falsely frame Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) in the case. Moreover, he recently recorded Ava threatening him. However, whether Drew will try to frame Carly or Valentin deliberately remains to be seen.

3) Charlotte and Danny must be protected

On the night that Jack died, Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) snuck into the closed Metro Court pool to enjoy one last swim before Fall. That's when they discovered the floating dead body. The teens freaked and fled the spot as Charlotte's bracelet stuck to Jack's body.

After questioning Danny, Carly and Valentin learned the whole truth. Carly also recognized the bracelet, but remained quiet during interrogation. Meanwhile, Danny was tasked to convey a message to Charlotte about not panicking and coming forward to defend her father. As of now, Danny and Charlotte's involvement is unknown. However, that may not remain the case for long. As such, Carly and Valentin must stay vigilant.

4) Josslyn's war with Sonny may blow up

While the battle between Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has nothing to do with the Jack Brennan murder case, Carly may get pulled in many directions. Since Josslyn's vendetta against Sonny was growing by the day, she made the drastic mistake of accusing him in front of Avery Corinthos, who, in turn, threatened to inform Donna Corinthos about Josslyn's behavior.

An enraged Sonny visited Carly and asked her to restrain her daughter and keep her under control. However, Sonny will likely plan a counterattack on Josslyn. This would draw Carly into back into Sonny's orbit. Moreover, in a Josslyn-Sonny war, Carly will likely choose her daughter, alienating her from her friends, Sonny and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).

5) The Jason, Anna and Nina factors must be considered

As mentioned before, siding with Josslyn will likely put Carly in an awkward position with Jason. She and Jason were the first to notice the security breach at her hotel. At the same time, Carly is also protecting Danny. In such a situation, Jason and Carly cannot afford to lose their friendship.

In addition, Valentin is helping his former girlfriend, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) with her therapy on Carly's insistence. Since Anna is a former WSB agent and the commissioner at PCPD, she may get involved in the Jack murder investigation. Meanwhile, Nina Reeves, who was arrested by WSB for Jack's disappearance after Drew framed her, is Valentin's ex-wife. As such, Valentin may want to tread carefully to keep himself and all his women safe.
