Will Austin Gatlin Holt die?
Things aren’t looking good for Austin on General Hospital. There’s been no official word on Howarth’s status on the soap opera, so it’s wait-and-see for viewers. While there may be one casualty in the Wyndemere situation, odds are Austin won’t be the victim.
Austin is in the midst of a huge storyline with Ava. The two partners are trying to cover up their crime and might use the melee at Wyndemere to protect themselves. Austin and Ava could frame Ryan for Nikolas’ murder, getting them off scot-free.
