A New Tangled Web Is Weaved in Port Charles
Ever since Ethan (Nathan Dean) returned to Port Charles, fans have been convinced he was Phoebe’s father. Finally, on the May 5 episode of the hit ABC soap, fans learned Ethan did know Delilah (Lily Cardone) and that she was the reason he returned to town.
The same day Ethan learned that Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) were fostering Delilah’s daughter. In true Ethan fashion he didn’t let on that he had a connection to Delilah or her baby.
Instead, Ethan got an earful from Brook Lynn and Chase. They filled him in on all the details, and several things raised red flags for Ethan.
The Love Brook Lynn and Chase Have for Phoebe
It was clear to Ethan that Delilah had a lasting impact on Chase and Brook Lynn. After all, Chase finally got a clue that Delilah was hiding something major when she arrived in Port Charles.
Considering her connection to Ethan, that was 100% true. Although we still don’t know exactly what that connection is. Other than the fact that Ethan hoped Delilah would be safe in the town he called home.
Listening as Chase and Brook Lynn shared their desire to adopt Phoebe, Ethan got emotional. Being Luke Spencer’s (Anthony Geary) son, Ethan hid it well until he was alone and made a promise to Delilah.
A Selfless Act That Could Come Back to Bite Ethan, Chase, and Brook Lynn
When he left the Quartermaine mansion, Ethan headed back to the docks to process everything he had just learned. A teary-eyed Ethan pulled a photograph of Delilah from his wallet and apologized for not protecting her. He also revealed that he had seen the baby.
Then Ethan burned the picture as he promised Delilah that no one would ever know their secret. What that means is anyone’s guess right now, but it does spell trouble.
Ethan’s connection to Delilah was clearly more than friends, and he was trying to help her stay safe. In the soap world, secrets don’t stay buried, which means that, likely at the worst possible time, Ethan staying quiet could put him and Phoebe in danger.
Many questions still need to be answered regarding Ethan and Delilah, including if he is Phoebe’s father.
