There’s something about Ethan’s sudden return to Port Charles on General Hospital that doesn’t add up. Now that Sonny has agreed to hire Ethan, even against Ric’s better judgment, even more red flags are being raised.
Key Takeaways
- Ethan mysteriously arrives right after Jason is taken away.
- Bringing Luke into his agenda.
- What is Ethan really after?
Not the Same Old Ethan
When Ethan (Nathan Dean) was last in Port Charles, he had his fair share of drama. Granted, Kristina (then Lexi Answorth) was the cause of the biggest trouble he got into the last time around.
However, this new Ethan is different, and that may not be a good thing. There’s a ruthlessness, shady vibe that came off as Ethan talked to Sonny (Maurice Benard) about a job.
It’s beyond suspicious that Ethan showed up just as Sonny lost his right-hand man, Jason (Steve Burton). That alone should be a red flag to Sonny, who knows that without Jason, he’s always got a bigger target on his back.
Ethan certainly isn’t above using that to his advantage, but he would need to be careful. The main reason Sonny gave him a job was that Ethan is Luke’s (Anthony Geary) son. If it turns out that Ethan used that bond and his father’s memory to backstab Sonny, there will be no place Ethan can hide.
Even Ric (Rick Hearst) clocked the timing of Ethan asking for a job, especially since Ethan had just come from visiting Robert (Tristan Rogers) and Holly (Emma Samms). We certainly don’t think Robert put Ethan up to anything like Ric suggested, but it’s worth noting.
One fan on X feels like Ethan was giving off WSB vibes when he left Sonny’s house. That’s not the vibe we got; it was more like this guy has an agenda and may or may not be up to no good.
Ethan likely isn’t out to get Sonny, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t bring danger to his doorstep. There’s a good chance Ethan’s hiding from someone, which would pose a whole new threat to the mob boss.
Let’s not forget Holly’s connection to Sidwell, either. Perhaps Sidwell is the reason Ethan came to Port Charles, and working for Sonny is just a cover. If that is the case, Ethan could help Sonny or cause him more harm.
What we do know is that Ethan didn’t just come back to Port Charles to help out Sonny and bond with Lulu (Alexa Havins), Rocco (Finn Carr), and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke).
