GENERAL HOSPITAL: Chase Learns He Can’t Father a Child

The results are in, and according to Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) interpretation of Chase’s (Josh Swickard) lab results, he is unable to father a child, thus closing the loop on why he and his wife, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) have been struggling to conceive a baby that they want so badly.

If the results hold true (although we know lots of faulty test results permeate the hospital walls), the next leg of the story of just what Chase and Brook Lynn’s marriage looks like, how this plays into the true parentage of Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), if the couple would adopt, or allow all this drama to implode their relationship remains to be seen.

As has been speculated, many fans believe that Brook Lynn’s child with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), years ago is actually Gio, although so far, the show has kept his parentage under wraps.  However in a recent interview with TooFab, Giovanni Mazza teased, “I think a lot of fans have been anticipating something coming up.” Mazza added, “We’re really going to explore just who, my character, Gio is.”

In addition, if Lulu (Alexa Havins) reveals this week that she wants Dante back, but then was to learn that Brook Lynn and Dante had a child and its Gio, could you see her moving past that when she and BLQ are mortal enemies? However, the ladies seems to be “OK for now” with Lulu being Brook Lynn’s assistant at Deception?

So, what do you think should happen next? Will Chase tell Brook Lynn the truth that he cannot father a child? Will they adopt? Will their relationship blow up? Will Brook Lynn now want to locate the one child she apparently knows she has? Share your theories via the comment section below.

Knowing these writers… Gio and Emma will start a romance only to find out they too are brother and sister.

Well, that’s not possible because if you might recall, it was a very big deal at the time when Robin was pregnant with Emma, because of the serious concerns of having a child as an HIV-positive mother.

And any other potential baby mamas that Patrick Drake would have had a child with… all three of them happen to be down here in Hell now, and only Psycho Lisa Niles would fit the potential time table. She assures me that she never had a baby.

So whomever the fiddling poolboy’s parents turn out to be, he’s not Emma’s brother. Though he could be her cousin, if he’s Cody’s kid.

I always enjoy reading your comments and thoughts Satan, you do make this site very interesting. My comment wasn’t based in the reality you have explained… more so just at the disregard for GH’s past we, the viewers have recently seen. Much respect to your accuracy, it is always appreciated.

Well said, GH fan.

Keep forgetting to say Satan, I loved you in 1974’s Phantom of the Paradise! Your best movie ever.

Hmmm. Strange plot point to have Chase’s ex-wife be the one to tell the police officer he’s firing blanks.

BLQ would not be supportive of Willow as Brook Lynn was always close with Michael. She lost her ability to sing protecting him from Willow’s nutty twin.

I’d forgotten that Nelle had slashed her throat. Can’t believe they haven’t gotten her back somehow, even though supposedly dead. There’s never been a worse trouble maker, and with Nina trying to mother her, it would be really something. Thankfully, Michael isn’t there for her to chase after, but all the other men, including Cam and trying to take her son away from Willow, oh boy, the possibilities are endless!

She would probably make Nina choose between them!

GH needs to get new writer’s with new and fresh ideas! This senerio with Chase has been revisited several times, remember Molly and TJ! I can’t believe they came back with a similar storyline! Boring!!!

Not only that.. the extremely weak writing that a mouse ran up to the top shelf of the bookcase? And Tracy’s screaming rant was so out of character even for Tracy. Did the writers ever watch the show back in the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s. I wonder what Jane was thinking as she delivered this lines. Jane is a true talent for sticking around.

Tuesday’s scenes seemed inline with traditional Quartermaine interaction. Had to chuckle when Ned told Tracy “Mother, I thought you liked children, you just kidnapped two”.

Since they didn’t actually show the mouse, it crossed my mind that there was no such critter at all, and Tracy manufactured that little scene to get exactly the reaction from Sasha that she got.

I’m not sure exactly WHY Tracy would have suspected Sasha was pregnant, but it’s not like she’s done the best job of hiding the pregnancy, with books on pregnancy and motherhood and laptops open to relevant websites on full display for anybody who happened to walk into the Quartermaine kitchen. And that would certainly include Tracy.

Tracy’s really going to freak out when she finds out Sasha’s kid is a Q.

I am excited that the show is potentially going forward with a plot line in male infertility . In real life , it can happen Hope they will move forward with this plot – especially with Chase being an alpha male

I think Cody is Gio’s father. That would make it interesting. Having Dante the father is predictable. I see Willow and Chase to go closer and maybe be a triangle with Drew

There you go! I said the same thing about Cody and Brook Lyn and yes, it seems like they are going round 2 with Chase & Willow.

Making Cody Gio’s dad would make a Gio-Emma pairing impossible as they would be related. Would the writers be so blind to create 3 insta-Scorpios in one year?

Dante’s the father; no doubt.

No more baby hungry stories!

what the hell is wrong with the writers first they destroyed molly and tj story now there going after chase and brooklyn it make me sick they need new writer because the one that they have suck.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum Kidnaps Obrecht as Britt’s Replacement to Finish Faison’s Final Project

Published

on

By

WSB director Ross Cullum is truly as despicable villain as they come, and played with steely intensity by Andrew Hawkes. For the double agents latest crime, you need to look no further than the Friday, June 5 cliffhanger of General Hospital, where in the episode’s final moments he sneaks up on an unassuming Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) after hiding in the back seat of her car.

Next, he chloroforms her with his intent clear. He plans on forcing her to finish the last leg of Faison’s final project at Wyndemere, since her daughter Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) left town with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in tow to get away from Cullum!

In what led to the kidnapping, Cullum had a terse conversation with his business associate and co-conspirator on the project, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). It is Sidwell who is preoccupied with wanting to bring Marco’s killer to justice (not knowing it’s the man right in front of him!). Sidwell told Cullum if bringing Marco’s killer to justice wasn’t a priority for the WSB director, then why should protecting Cullum be a priority for him?

SIDWELL VS. CULLUM

The two finally put aside their differences as they have to complete Faison’s final project for it will be highly lucrative for them, useful for their mutual gains, and groundbreaking. In order to do that they need a great mind with a scientific background to finish it up and get them to the finish line since Britt as disappeared.

Later, outside of “General Hospital,” Obrecht is headed back to her car after searching Britt’s office for any clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. But when she got in the car to drive away, that’s when the aforementioned Cullum strikes!

BROOK LYNN GETS ADVICE FROM A FORMER ADULTERESS

In other key developments, after Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) keeps inserting herself into Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) life, all with the seeming pretense to pay back Chase for helping her clear her name at the trial, and standing by her, she brings good news in person about baby Phoebe’s adoption to Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) law office to Chase. Once Brook Lynn heard Chase was on her away over with paperwork, she decided to hightail it out of there for an “emergency” appointment for Deception.

As we come to find out, Brook Lynn meets up with Lucy (Lynn Herring) at the Metro Court pool, She then proceeds to inform Lucy about Willow sniffing around he husband. Lucy says she knows a thing or two about being an adulteress. Brook Lynn wants Lucy to help her send a clear message to Willow to stay away from her husband, or else!

Now below, check out the scenes before Obrecht was kidnapped where she visited Willow, Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) and suspects Willow is up to no good.

Then let us know, with Lucy taking Brook Lynn under her wing, what plot do you think the two will come up with against Willow? What do you think will happen to Obrecht? With Lucas also at Wyndemere trying to bait Sidwell into an attempted murder charge, will he winds up thrown in the secret room with Josslyn?
