General Hospital Spoilers: There’s An Explanation To Why Harmony Knows Her Way Around Alexis’s House

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has given Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) the benefit of the doubt in the name of redemption and friendship.

General Hospital rumors hint that Alexis could have trusted her new companion too soon, dismissing the warnings from Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore), her daughters Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), Kristina Corinthos (Lexi Ainsworth), and Molly Lansing Davis (Haley Pullos), along with others.

Alexis was left a little rattled after Harmony took it upon herself to retrieve the carpet cleaner from the basement. Alexis asked Harmony straight up how she knew where to find the cleaner. Harmony’s reaction indicates she’s hiding something big. Harmony blamed her care giving career on becoming familiar with common household placements as her reason for knowing exactly where to find what she needed in Alexis’s home.

General Hospital rumors claim that Alexis’s home is familiar territory to Harmony. The death of Dr. Neil Byrne (Joe Flanigan) which took place in Alexis’s home has remained a mystery. Alexis was left to believe Neil had a secret drug addiction. But GH rumors and spoilers claim Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) was behind Neil’s mysterious overdose which then connects Harmony. Harmony used to work for Cyrus which leads to further GH rumors claiming she is behind Neil’s passing.

Is Harmony trying to get close to Alexis because she feels guilty for killing Neil?
