Neil's unexpected death happened while he was tangled in complex relationships and facing his own issues. That was especially true regarding his feelings for another character, Alexis Davis.
Neil got a job at General Hospital and soon liked Alexis a lot. They both got into trouble at work for lying to some people who were looking at how the hospital runs, and they lost their jobs because of it.
Neil wanted to make things better with Alexis and tried to fix their friendship. After a while, Alexis started to like him back. Unfortunately, just after they had made up, Neil was found dead the next morning.
Who killed Neil on General Hospital?
Harmony, someone in the story with a messy history and links to a cult, admitted killing Neil. She secretly went into Alexis' house and gave Neil a large amount of dangerous drugs that killed him.
Harmony was scared that Neil might tell secrets that could ruin her connection with Alexis. By doing so, Harmony didn't just cause Neil's death but also started her own downfall.
What happened to Harmony in General Hospital?
Harmony admitting she was guilty was a big deal. She had a difficult past with the Dawn of Day leader and a shaky friendship with Alexis. She hoped to make things better by becoming true friends. But her past actions were too bad to overlook.
Later, it was revealed that Harmony felt very guilty for killing Neil and for the other wrong things she did. She died after telling Alexis and Carly Corinthos the truth. Her death was very sad and hurt a lot, especially Alexis, who had started to see Harmony as a friend.
Was Alexis involved in Neil’s murder?
Neil was found dead in Alexis' bed, and some thought that she killed Neil, but she didn't. She was very sad and had a tough time after Neil died. She even went to jail, but she didn't cause Neil's death.
Later, when it emerged that Harmony did it, Alexis felt relieved that she wasn't blamed and sad because it was confusing. It showed that Alexis wasn't responsible, but it also made her feel more upset and mixed up.
Eventually, Dr. Neil Byrne's part in General Hospital was important even though it didn't last long.
Played by Joe Flanigan, Neil first appeared in February 2019. He was a therapist who got involved with his patient Alexis Davis and helped her with many problems, including saving her daughter from a bad group called Dawn of Day. Neil and Alexis both liked each other, which led to trouble for them.
Neil's sudden death shocked everyone because Harmony Miller, who was in trouble herself, gave him the drugs. Now, his brother Fergus is causing problems for Alexis as she tries to become a lawyer again.
