What Happened To Michael’s Character Rory Cabrera On GH?
The recent episode of General Hospital saw Rory being attacked by the hook killer. He is then rushed to the hospital to seek medical attention.
As Cabrera approaches the apartment of the exotic animal snuggle, he finds the door open and enters it. While drawing his gun, he suddenly sees the hook killer raising their weapon. He quickly spins around and fires his gun.
Dante then hears someone in another room. Suddenly, Cabrera, who has been hooked, falls onto the couch and is bleeding from his mouth. Soon Jordan and other officers arrive at the scene. Dante says the hook attacked Rory.
As Dante and other cops help get Rory to the hospital, Jordan calls in the medical examiner. Later, Alexis arrives at the hospital and sees Dante covered in blood. He then explains it’s Rory’s.
Alexis then connects with Gregory to discuss that the attack was the hook. In the OR, Portia and Finn work on Rory. Liz wonders if this wasn’t the hook killer because the antivenom is in short supply and shouldn’t be wasted.
Just then, Trina, Curtis, Joss, and Spencer arrive. Trina asks Jordan about Rory, but he doesn’t know. Soon Portia exits the OR and reveals to them that Rory has lost a lot of blood and is very weak. As he is wheeled out, Trina runs over to him in tears.
Rory whispers to Trina that it may have been too soon to tell her how he feels for her, but he doesn’t regret it. He says that he is glad she knows his feeling. Suddenly, the young officer Rory codes as Trina weeps.
Hopefully, fans will know Rory’s ultimate fate sooner in the coming episodes.
