General Hospital‘s Michael is willing to destroy his cousin’s marriage as an end to a means. He is constantly up in arms about protecting his own children, but isn’t giving much thought to how this will affect Phoebe.
Key Takeaways
- Michael is manipulating Brook Lynn and Chase’s marriage to get what he wants.
- He is not thinking about how this will affect Phoebe.
- Josslyn called Michael out, but he may not listen.
Selfish Michael
Michael (Rory Gibson) can be a great guy. He is an involved dad who loves his kids, a helpful son and brother, and a good friend. But there are times when Michael becomes spoiled and entitled and will do whatever it takes to get his own way.
This is exactly what he is doing right now. He wants full custody of his children, and we can’t blame him. Their mother is a master manipulator and a would-be murderer. Michael came up with a plan to destroy Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), but he is taking Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) marriage down as well.
Chase (Josh Swickard) is an awful husband. He has been flirting with Willow for months, and now he is thinking of divorce because Brook Lynn lied about the car accident. The problem is that BLQ wants to save her marriage, but Michael sees this as an opportunity to push Chase and Willow together. He believes this will help him get custody of Wiley (Viron Weaver) and Amelia (Sienna Goerisch). He is thinking of his own family, but not BLQ’s.
Josslyn Calls Michael Out
When Michael called Josslyn (Eden McCoy) in to help with his plan, he expected that she would do what he asked. Instead of agreeing to stay at the Qs to keep an eye on Willow and Chase, she called him out. Joss pointed out to her brother that he is thinking of his own kids but not about Phoebe (Lucia and Luna Creighton).
Michael is justifying his actions by saying that it would be better for Brook Lynn and Phoebe to get Chase out of their lives. That may or may not be true, but it is not up to Michael to decide. Phoebe’s young life may be forever changed by Michael’s manipulations, and, as his sister pointed out, that is not fair. He is willing to destroy a family to get what he wants.
Joss is the smarter sibling in this situation, but she may not have gotten through to him. Do you think Michael will continue to move his plan along?
