What?! Finding Out General Hospital’s Ronnie Was In Cahoots With Martin *Wasn’t* Biggest Shock of the Story!

The truth about Ronnie and Martin is out on General Hospital — at least for the fans — and it’s only a matter of time now before they’re exposed and Ronnie is run out of town in shame. At least, that’s how we’ve been figuring it’s going to go down (which you can read about at the link below), but it’s not necessarily how fans want it to go!
Because we took to our Soaps Facebook page to ask viewers if they thought Ronnie should be forgiven, the answers surprised us!
Because while there have been a decent amount of “No’s,” for the most part, fans seem ready to give Ronnie a pass! We suppose it does make sense, of course. Erika Slezak will always be beloved, no matter what character she plays. Plus, Tracy was just a total monster to her when they met. Sometimes we do stupid stuff in the heat of anger. And this is definitely better than Ronnie doing anything as extreme as killing her!
But it’s also a testament to the writing and the acting that Ronnie could come out of this — we wouldn’t say unscathed, but worthy, perhaps, of redemption.
Laurie Stenger Fitzwilliam says on Facebook that she thinks so. “She genuinely cares for the Q’s in my opinion,” she writes, “after getting to know them. (Ok, not Tracy.) I think she was sold a bill of goods by Martin.”
“I like Ronnie,” Alberta Randall notes. “She was roped [in] by a couple of rogues. Hope she comes clean and faces the consequences of her actions.”
And that might be the key to forgiveness. Perhaps, if Ronnie does confess to what she’s done and toss Martin and Drew under the bus, she can win over folks like Maxine Wilhelm, who responds, “Absolutely not. She did not have to go along with the plan she could have gotten help and Martin and Drew would have been on the chopping block but she is as guilty as they are.”
Should Ronnie Stay In Port Charles?
To be fair, a number of people who want forgiveness hope that would come with Slezak spending more time on General Hospital. And that’s not impossible, as we could see Ronnie dropping in from time to time, but as Slezak still lives on the East Coast and General Hospital films in Los Angeles, it seems doubtful she’d stick around full time.
But whatever happens, no matter how short of time we’re just happy that we got to see Slezak mix it up with the Quartermaines in Port Charles. And here’s hoping it’s not the last time we get to see it happen!
