General Hospital‘s Brook Lynn is desperate for a baby. Sure, she has a fully grown, previously secret son on the canvas, but Gio is surly, full of opinions, and independent. A baby would love Brook Lynn unconditionally. She’s like one of those, please. And, oh, look! Here’s a homeless, pregnant woman. Oh, noes, she’s dead. But, look, she had her baby. Who will take care of her? How about Brook Lynn and Chase? That should go really well. Has our Brook Lynn learned nothing from the last time she took care of a baby that wasn’t hers?
Key Takeaways
- Brook Lynn and Chase are fostering dead Delilah’s daughter.
- Brook Lynn and Chase are so attached to the baby that they’ve named her.
- Brook Lynn and Chase are setting themselves up for heartbreak.
Back in the Day
Was it only a few years ago that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) was helping out Maxie (Kirsten Storms) — and herself — by pretending that Maxie and Peter’s (Wes Ramsey) daughter was actually her own with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? Remember that?
Brook Lynn named the tot Bailey Lois, and she got so attached to her that giving the little girl back to Maxie broke her heart. (At least Maxie kept the child’s name, Bailey, rather than the Lu she’d been calling her before.)
Love ‘Em, Can’t Leave ‘Em
And here Brook Lynn goes again! She and Chase (Josh Swickard) have decided to foster the late Deliah’s little girl. They’ve even named her Phoebe. Do they not know that naming something — child, puppy, kitten, goldfish — is how you bond with it?
They’re not adopting wee Phoebe; they are only fostering her. Which means, eventually, they will have to give her up. Does Brook Lynn not recall how fun that was with Bailey? WHY would they want to do it again?
