General Hospital: Brook Lynn Trapped in Brutal Blackmail Nightmare – Chase Left Totally Disgusted!

General Hospital saw Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) plan to frame her rival take a big leap forward. But her hubby Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) is going to be disgusted when he finds out the lengths that she has gone to.

Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) lied to Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and pointed the cops at Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). But now Lucy is blackmailing Brook Lynn and clearly Lucy is not going to help Brook Lynn destroy Willow for free.

General Hospital: Lucy’s False Statement and Blackmail Scheme

So, this week we saw Lucy go down to the PCPD and make a false statement to Detective Dante. And we had Lucy telling him she saw Willow at the Quartermaine Mansion the night of Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) accident. And of course Lucy fibbed because Willow was there during the day and their visits didn’t overlap. The only person Lucy saw that night was Brook Lynn. The two of them were talking about deception and their Sidwell problem and they were drinking and then Lucy left and Dante called Brook Lynn and told her come down to Charlie’s Pub to see Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) perform. So Lucy said Willow would have been on the road where Jordan crashed that night which is all lies.

Lucy didn’t see Willow at the scene and Lucy had no idea where Willow was at the time of Jordan’s crash. So, we had Dante asking why Lucy was just coming forward now. And she told Dante she looked at her calendar and all of a sudden it clicked. And this is all part of the plan Brook Lynn and Lucy cooked up to frame Willow as the second driver that Jordan nearly crashed into, driving on the wrong side of the road because she and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) were behaving like teenagers.

General Hospital: Lucy’s Blackmail and the Price of the Frame Job

Let’s be real, Lucy is a huge schemer and a gold digger, and she always has been. And she started this scheme with Brook Lynn, acting like she was doing it to help her. Lucy was sympathetic about Brook Lynn trying to keep Willow away from her husband, Chase. But until the recent episode, Lucy had never mentioned there was a price tag attached to her help. But now, Brook Lynn clearly sees that Lucy isn’t helping her for free. And worse yet, it’s too late. Brook Lynn’s going to have to pay off Lucy or face the consequences. So, this could turn into a colossal nightmare for Brook Lynn for two big reasons.

First of all, Lucy has already made a blackmail demand on Brook Lynn. We heard Lucy saying that it’s only fair that Brook Lynn gives her something of equal value in return for lying to the cops. How do you put a price tag on her marriage and perjury? Already, Lucy is trying to get a big payday out of Brook Lynn. And second, once Lucy remembers that Brook Lynn was on the road the night of the crash, wow, I can see Lucy coming back for an even bigger payday. Blackmailers rarely settle for just one payment when they can keep getting more.

General Hospital: Lucy’s Memory Triggered

Because also, Lucy knows Brook Lynn was drinking that night since they shared a bottle of wine. Not a lot, but enough. And Lucy also knows the path from the Quartermaine Mansion to Charlie’s Pub. And that means once it dawns on her, once she thinks it through, she’ll realize Brook Lynn was probably on the road driving after drinking. Plus, she may get more info because, you know, Lucy’s always snooping.

She’s in everybody’s business. She’s a town gossip. So, if she hears anything about Brook Lynn’s car being damaged, Lucy will figure it out really fast, just like Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) did. If she hears Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) mention taking Brook Lynn’s car back to the shop, that may jar Lucy’s memory. And already she can threaten to tell Chase everything if Brook Lynn doesn’t pay up.

General Hospital: The Unraveling Plan and Chase’s Discovery

And even if she goes ahead and pays off Lucy now, well, she might come back for a bigger payday if she realizes that Brook Lynn is framing Willow for something that she actually did. And the more Lucy and Brook Lynn go back and forth, the greater the chance Chase overhears. Or even worse, Willow overhears Lucy and Brook Lynn. And she would definitely tell Chase. Or Willow could just take it back to the police in her own defense, knowing Chase will eventually find out from the cops what Brook Lynn did.

And as you know from General Hospital history, Tracy absolutely hates Lucy. Always has. From way back when Lucy was gold digging and married Tracy’s brother, Alan. I can see Tracy confronting Lucy and it turning into a whole thing. And at this point, Tracy doesn’t know Brook Lynn’s framing Willow, but she may confess to Tracy if Lucy doesn’t go away quietly.

I don’t think Tracy would mind her granddaughter plotting against Willow, but Tracy would have an issue of her being sloppy and working with Lucy. Tracy cannot stand Willow and think she’s a viper who’s going after Chase. And I mean, she’s not exactly wrong. So Tracy, I think would be all for Brook Lynn’s plan, but I’m not sure that Tracy or Brook Lynn can stop Lucy’s blackmail unless they go to the cops and say that she lied trying to get her in trouble, mutually assured destruction.

But in that case, Willow would be off the hook and Lucy could then turn around and say Brook Lynn paid her to make the false statement. And if there’s a paper trail or a digital money trail from Lucy or going to Lucy from Brook Lynn right after she made the false statement, that would look really bad.

General Hospital: Chase’s Moral Reckoning

As for Chase, when he finds out Brook Lynn had Lucy make a false statement to frame Willow, he’ll be horrified. And when Chase finds out Brook Lynn was framing Willow for something she did, I think Chase will be disgusted by his wife’s antics. I doubt there’s anything that Brook Lynn could say to excuse what she and Lucy are doing in Chase’s mind. He’s a by the book guy with morals. He always wants to see the right thing done. That’s why he defended Willow. He really did think she was innocent and was framed for Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting. So, Chase won’t be able to live with a wife who’s framing Willow.

It’s even worse because Chase thinks Willow is so darn perfect. And then here’s Brook Lynn having Lucy go to the police to tell lies on her. It’s a really bad look. And Chase will find out about Brook Lynn’s car and that she was actually the second driver. So Chase will see not only was she framing Willow, but she didn’t come clean about being on the road that night.

General Hospital: Brook Lynn’s Actions Led to Isaiah’s Injuries

Brook Lynn not coming forward is the reason Curtis assaulted Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson). And Brook Lynn’s the reason Isaiah may never be a surgeon again. And she’s the reason little Derek almost died. If you look at it from a broader angle and Brook Lynn’s guilt is why she covered his family’s cost for him to get surgery elsewhere. So, Chase will see, oh, this wasn’t generosity that led my wife Brook Lynn to help that family. It was guilt for her own actions.

I think Chase is going to be sickened by Brook Lynn’s behavior. And in the end, her scheming could actually cost her Chase, not Willow, you know. So, when Brook Lynn did all this trying to hold on to him by keeping him away from Willow, it seemed like a good idea.

But official General Hospital summer spoilers say that Brook Lynn’s plan to set up Willow does not go as expected. But it will go for a while. So, it looks like Dante is going to question Willow by the end of this week. And when Curtis goes on trial for felony assault, the frame job that Brook Lynn has done on Willow is going to mess up his defense plan because Curtis was hoping to smear Isaiah in court as a bad man who fled the scene of an accident, left them for dead, when it’s not true. Not at all.

So, before all is said and done, Brook Lynn may lose Chase on top of losing a big pile of money because she’s going to have to pay blackmail to Lucy. Maybe once, maybe more than once. So, in the end, Brook Lynn may lose Chase, not necessarily to Willow, but Chase may just walk away from his wife because he can’t live with a liar.
