General Hospital (GH) spoilers for Monday, October 16, state that Jason (Billy Miller) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) suspect that Franco (Roger Howarth) and Liz (Rebecca Herbst) are keeping a secret from them. Sam and Jason are wary of Franco and Liz because they fear they could be hiding information that threatens their plans for a stable future after Jason’s accident.

After Jason recovered from the nearly fatal gunshot wound he suffered during a mob altercation involving Sonny (Maurice Benard), he vowed to avoid all mob entanglements. He promised Sam to find safe and stable employment and stop risking his life with the mob.

Fans will recall that after he recovered from coma, Jason told Sonny that he plans to cut all ties with the mob and start a new life.

Sam Fears Franco Is Hiding A Secret

However, since Sam noticed that Franco and Liz appear to be keeping a secret from them, she has been nervous and uneasy. Has something new cropped up that could disrupt their plans for a safe future?

Franco Is Keeping Betsy’s Jason Morgan Twin Bombshell From Jason And Sam

Franco and Liz have been debating whether to share with Jason and Sam the information about Jason’s Twin, Drew, that Franco learned from his adoptive mother, Betsy (Deborah Strang).

Franco had kept the information from Liz but he eventually shared it after he concluded that a trust issue could arise between them if Liz discovers the truth herself and realizes that Franco has been keeping a secret from her.

After Franco shared Betsy’s information about Jason Morgan’s twin with Liz, she insisted that he would have to share it with Jason and Sam. However, Franco thought it was wiser not to tell Jason because it could unsettle their lives after they just recovered from a crisis and were trying to settle down to a stable life.

Franco reasoned that Jason’s twin was dead anyway so there was no need to bother him about it.
