General Hospital‘s Ethan substituted a DNA sample he stole from the Port Charles lock-up for his own. We’re not sure who’s, and we’re not sure why. But we can make a guess. And the guess, as with all things, leads back to Sonny.
Key Takeaways
- Ethan faked a DNA test
- Is Ethan pretending to be Phoebe’s father?
- Who actually is?
Ethan’s Secret Move Raises Even Bigger Questions
Ethan (Nathan Dean) swapped out his own DNA test for a sample he stole from the police. We’re not sure what he’s trying to prove. That he is Phoebe’s father? That he isn’t Phoebe’s father?
If Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) want to adopt the abandoned, half-orphaned tot, they will need proof that the father consents to it. So if Ethan is the father, he would need to sign off on it.
And if Ethan isn’t the father and he’s trying to prove he is, it could be to protect Phoebe from the real bio dad. Or it could be for some other reason. Who understands anything Ethan does?
The Identity Ethan May Be Trying to Protect
Our other question is: Did Ethan grab a random sample, or did he go looking for somebody in particular? Because if he went looking for somebody in particular, then maybe he knows this person is Phoebe’s real father, and Ethan wants to make it seem like he is.
On the other hand, if Ethan knows he is Phoebe’s real father and he isn’t, then he wants to submit a random sample to ensure he isn’t identified.
Could Sonny Be at the Center of Another Family Secret?
But Ethan should be careful. What if, in one of those only in Port Charles’ coincidences, the sample he rabbed at random is actually Phoebe’s father, after all?
And, if that’s the case, then we’ve got only one candidate: Sonny (Maurice Benard). Sonny fathers the majority of children in town. (And the ones he doesn’t father, he steals.) And his DNA is all over the Port Charles crime lab, we presume. What if Ethan is in for one heck of a surprise!
