In the June 17 episode of General Hospital, new information was revealed about Ethan and his connection to Delilah. Ethan has gone to great lengths to keep the fact that he knew her a secret. What he just did dropped a major bombshell and answered the question of whether he was Phoebe’s father.
Key Takeaways
- GH fans learned what he stole from the PCPD.
- Ethan isn’t Phoebe’s father.
- A new layer is added to the Delilah and Ethan mystery.
The Missing PCPD Evidence
Last week, GH gave fans a major cliffhanger after Ethan slipped unnoticed into the PCPD to steal evidence. Ethan knew exactly what he was looking for, and now fans know why.
Ethan arrived at the hospital for the DNA test to prove he was Phoebe’s (Lana and Lucia Creighton) father. At the hospital, he caught up with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) as she administered the test.
Then, in true soap fashion, Elizabeth was called out for another case, and Ethan was left alone with his DNA. That was when Ethan pulled out what he took from the PCPD and added a new twist to his mystery.
Ethan Just Proved Phoebe’s Not His Daughter
It turned out that what Ethan had taken from the cold case room was a DNA sample. Ethan pocketed his own DNA sample and replaced it with the one he stole.
The move confirmed that Ethan isn’t Phoebe’s father. If he really were the baby daddy, Ethan wouldn’t have needed to switch out the DNA. After all, the whole point of the test is to prove he’s the dad so that Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) can adopt Phoebe.
Ethan’s desperate to make sure Delilah’s (Lily Cardone) daughter ends up in a good home. While GH fans thought it was because he was Phoebe’s father, that’s not the case.
So Many More Questions
Fans may have the answer to one question in the Ethan and Delilah saga, but it has only raised more questions. The fact that Ethan got the DNA in the PCPD evidence room means whoever Phoebe’s father is, was in Port Charles at one point.
Is he the person that Ethan is trying to protect Phoebe from? Or is he dead, and Ethan’s protecting the baby from whoever killed her father? Those are just a couple of questions that came from this small moment that is a significant twist.
Ethan just keeps pulling out all the stops to keep whatever secret he and Delilah were hiding. Clearly, he had feelings for her, but just how close were they, and what kind of relationship did they have?
The narrative shifted with Ethan’s move. While his desire to ensure Phoebe is safe is still the same, it’s no longer because he’s her father. It’s all about keeping a promise to Delilah, but why?
This was a brilliant twist that took the story in a direction that many fans did not expect.
