5 Reasons Why General Hospital's Stalker Could Be Patty

General Hospital's stalker storyline has been dragging on for months now, and so far, the light of suspicion has been shed on a few characters. But we think there is a strong possibility that Trina's (Tabyana Ali) biggest fan is someone we don't see often. That person is Patty, the proprietor of the Cat's Eye Lounge. Here are five reasons why Patty could be the stalker.

She's the last person we would suspect

The fact that Patty doesn't appear very often makes her the person we would least suspect. From what we've learned, she has a somewhat antagonistic relationship with Simon (Grady Eldridge), the music executive who has been involved in Trina and Gio's (Giovanni Mazza) budding music career. Simon had a difficult time convincing Patty to allow Trina and Gio to rehearse in the lounge during off hours.

On Halloween night, Patty informed Trina and Gio that they would be playing for an audience of only one person (who had booked the entire lounge). She warned the musical duo that if they refused to perform, then she would sue them.

It feels like we're running out of suspects. Even though we don't know much about Patty, could she be the one who has a secret obsession with Trina?

Too much suspicion has fallen on Heather

When Heather Webber (Alley Mills) arrived at the tail end of Trina and Gio's performance on Halloween night, we all assumed she was the stalker. She was the one who had booked the entire lounge so she could enjoy a private show.

Since then, we've all wondered what Heather is doing back in Port Charles. Considering that she was The Hook killer a few years ago, we can't help wondering whether she has a diabolical plan in mind. Why does she insist on living in PC? Why did she purchase Spoon Island?

Since Halloween, it seems like half the residents of PC have tried to convince Heather to leave town. Everyone is running scared because big, bad Heather is back. That's why it doesn't seem like she is Trina's stalker. It would be too obvious.

Simon seems too obvious as well

This stalker storyline began in the latter part of July. From the very beginning, GH fans suspected Simon, perhaps because we've seen similar storylines on other TV shows and in movies. A music producer signs a new singer, which leads to an obsession and a bulletin board covered with photos of the rising star.

We hadn't seen Simon in a while, but on Tuesday's episode of GH, he showed up again at the lounge. Does that mean we're circling back to him as the prime suspect? It feels like the more we see of him and Heather, the more their presence distracts us from characters like Patty, who we don't see very often — which makes her more mysterious.

Also, it's very telling that Patty initially refused to let Trina and Gio rehearse in the lounge. What was the reason for that? Was it meant to throw us off the trail so that we wouldn't view her as a suspect?

Quinn had Trina alone in his car, but he did nothing to her

For a while, we were led to believe that Quinn (Jequan Jackson) was Trina's stalker. He hung out with Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) and Emma (Braedyn Bruner) at the lounge, watching Trina and Gio perform. He eyed Trina with a smitten look on his face, so naturally, he became one of the most likely suspects.

On the night she had car trouble and he offered her a ride, we thought he had sinister motives in mind. The car ride was eerie. We couldn't help wondering what he was planning for Trina.

Of course, that turned out to be misleading, and all of the suspicion led to a surprise romantic set-up that Kai had planned for himself and Trina. Since then, we haven't seen Quinn anymore. But the fact remains that he had Trina alone in his car with him. If he wanted to do something to her, then that was the perfect time for him to do it. But instead, he did what Kai, his good friend, had asked of him. So, it doesn't seem likely that Quinn will turn out to be Trina's stalker.

Spencer and Esme are presumed dead

Some GH fans are wondering whether the stalker is either Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) or Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl). Even though they are both presumed dead, their bodies have never been found. It's common knowledge that on soaps, characters return from the dead all the time.

But some fans are saying that Spencer would never put Trina through all of the fear and worry that the stalker is putting her through. They were a couple in love just a few years ago. He wouldn't create a fan page of Trina's photos and block out everyone else's face. He wouldn't send her multiple bouquets of roses with creepy notes that read, "Your biggest fan." Keeping that in mind, that would rule out Spencer as the stalker.

While Esme would have no qualms about frightening Trina, we're assuming that she really is dead. If she were alive, we think that she would likely try to track down her young son, Ace, who is currently in Ireland with Laura (Genie Francis) and Kevin (Jon Lindstrom).

So, since we've eliminated the other possible stalker suspects, will Patty turn out to be Trina's stalker? If she is, then why is she so obsessed with Trina? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
