General Hospital delivers Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) hoping to adopt baby Phoebe, but there are obstacles coming their way.
Not only could BLQ’s role in Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) crash be an issue, but Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons) and Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi) might also be a problem.
We’re going to talk about a shocker that we might see for little Phoebe’s adoption that could have Brook Lynn and Chase losing the chance to be parents.
Brook Lynn & Chase Want to Adopt Baby Phoebe on General Hospital
So, when Brook Lynn and Chase stumbled across Delilah Wilson (Lily Cardone), that was back in March. They had found her unconscious on the ground and heavily pregnant. Brook Lynn and Chase then rushed her to General Hospital and Delilah ended up needing an emergency C-section and then of course if you remember she just abruptly died. From there Brook Lynn and Chase kept checking on little Phoebe when she was in the NICU and they bonded with her despite Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) saying it was a bad idea.
Now with no apparent family that they can find, BLQ and Chase are hoping to adopt little Phoebe. And Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is repping them. And she told them today, or rather on the most recent episode, that if they have any skeletons in the closet to tell her now or clean it up before they file those adoption papers. She warned Brook Lynn and Chase the adoption process included a thorough background check.
And Alexis said that any hidden issues could derail the adoption and that left Brooklyn looking panicked. But it’s not just her actions that could mess up the adoption. Chase has no idea he’s being set up by Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) to cheat with Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen). Now, I don’t actually think Chase would sleep with Willow, but he doesn’t have to actually cheat. All Michael needs is for Chase to get in a position with Willow that looks really compromising and then private eye Elaine and her little dog can be there to snap a photo.
Brook Lynn Might Have Been The Other Driver on GH
Meanwhile, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) has decided that Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) drove off and left him and Jordan in a fiery car crash. Except it sure looks like Brook Lynn was the other driver. But things do appear bad because Isaiah scraped his car in the General Hospital garage and now it’s being repaired. And because he doesn’t want to tell anybody, he was at Lulu Spencer‘s (Alexa Havins Bruening) house treating Rocco Falconeri‘s (Finn Carr) hand infection off the books. That’s a problem.
Isaiah warned Lulu that she and Rocco are his alibi. But then he later told Portia he’s not actually sure if the time aligns, but he doesn’t seem to have been involved in the wreck unless he’s lying to everybody. But what does seem clear is that Isaiah didn’t see Jordan and Curtis’ car crash either way if he was on the road near them. And neither did BLQ. She was rushing to see Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) perform at Charlie’s Pub, if you remember. And Brook Lynn didn’t find out about the crash until the next day. So, certainly she didn’t see it.
General Hospital: BLQ Comes Forward
So, basically Curtis’ premise is all wrong about the other driver, no matter who it was in that other car. But if Isaiah’s about to go down for it, I do think Brook Lynn might come forward because she’s the one who scraped the guardrail. But also, there was another car on the road. Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke), they were there. Nobody knows. And it could have been them that caused Brook Lynn to scrape her car. We still haven’t addressed the fourth car on the road.
But again, I don’t think the kids knew that there was another crash on the road. Not that they’ve said Jordan caused the crash. Bottom line. But if Curtis keeps accusing Isaiah, Brooklyn might have to come clean despite what Tracy says, and then they likely wouldn’t be able to adopt little Phoebe.
Ethan Might Be Baby Phoebe’s Father
In the meantime, it is looking increasingly likely that Ethan might be the father of Delilah’s baby. If you remember, Ethan was stunned when Brook Lynn and Chase introduced him to Phoebe and told him about Delilah and how she died. And then later, Ethan was looking at Delilah’s photo and said that he was sorry for not protecting her. And then he burned the photo and he swore to keep the secret. But Ethan also looked very uncomfortable when he and Kristina came over to talk to Brook Lynn, Chase, and Alexis.
And then Kristina was holding baby Phoebe, and she looked all in love, and Alexis thanked Brook Lynn for letting Kristina hold the baby and they talked about her recovering after she lost the baby that she was carrying after she fell through that window. So when Ethan asked Kristina what’s going on, she told him about the baby that died and said sorry for not letting Ethan hold Phoebe, but he said, “Babies scare me.” And then Ethan asked Kristina if Phoebe would be happy with Brook Lynn and Chase. And yeah, I’m sure the baby would be fine with them Quartermaine insanity aside.
Ethan Turns to Kristina on General Hospital
But if it comes out that Chase is accused of sleeping with Willow and Brook Lynn comes forward as the other car in Jordan’s crash, Ethan may reconsider his stance on babies. Now, we all know Kristina was planning to keep the baby that she was supposed to give to her sister Molly. Nothing’s really changed in her attitude. Kristina clearly still wants to be a mom and Ethan may already be a father, but he just isn’t acknowledging it.
But I could see a world where he asked Kristina to help him with baby Phoebe and to get her. So, if he is Delilah’s baby daddy, Ethan should be able to claim the kid no problem. However, Brook Lynn and Chase might fight it with CPS since Ethan didn’t come forward immediately. That’s not a good sign. Ideally, a good parent would want to claim their child.
Could Ethan And Kristina Have A Marriage Of Convenience on General Hospital?
We also had that leak recently, if you are regularly listening here, about a marriage of convenience. And if that happens, I was thinking it’s about avoiding testifying, you know, some kind of criminal thing. But it could be Kristina and Ethan on baby Phoebe’s behalf. Ethan may want to claim and protect Delilah’s baby, but he’s freaked out about the idea of parenting.
Meanwhile, Kristina would love to have a baby. And if there is an objection to Ethan claiming his child because he didn’t speak up, him being married and having a mom there could help. So Kristina and Ethan, by the way, if you don’t remember or weren’t watching then, they have a romantic past.
Kristina had a big crush on Ethan, but then when her violent ex Kiefer Bauer (Christian Alexander) beat her, she blamed Ethan because she was scared if she revealed that it was Kiefer, he would come and just kill her. And Ethan did later forgive Kristina, and it all seems to be water under the bridge.
General Hospital: Ethan & Kristina Take Baby Phoebe from Chase & BLQ?
Now, we also saw this week that Portia told Isaiah that they had to pray that the real driver in the crash would be found or would come forward. So, at present, it looks like it could be Brook Lynn. So, between the crash and Michael targeting Chase, this could get really messy.
And I could see it work out where Ethan and Kristina work together and basically steal little Phoebe away from the potential adoptive parents if they think they aren’t good for the kid. Not steal like kidnap, but steal as in kind of hijack the adoption process.
If you recall, Kristina justified planning to keep the baby from Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and TJ Ashford (Tahj Bellow) because of their issues. Kristina claimed that Molly and TJ weren’t fit parents because they argued a few times. And Kristina said that she thought they would split up and that the baby needed stability that they couldn’t provide.
So, while she may tell Ethan that Brook Lynn and Chase will be good parents, we could see Kristina change her mind on that if there are scandals about Brook Lynn possibly being the driver that Jordan almost ran off the road and Chase made to look like he is cheating. So, we’ll see if a twist is coming.
