General Hospital Spoilers: Michael reveals Chase’s secret, Brook Lynn decides to divorce

General Hospital Spoilers: Chase’s Past with Willow Destroys His Future with Brook Lynn

Brook Lynn Quartermaine and Harrison Chase believed adoption would be their fresh start — a chance to heal the fractures in their marriage and finally build the family they both claimed to want.

For a fleeting moment, hope felt real. But beneath the optimism lay secrets Chase never confronted, and those buried truths were already rotting the foundation of everything they were trying to build.

Chase insisted his lingering feelings for Willow were harmless echoes of the past. He convinced himself he had compartmentalized them, locked away old wounds, and moved on. But Willow never truly left his heart — and the more he tried to suppress that truth, the more it bled into his marriage.

Brook Lynn felt it immediately. The distance. The hesitation. The way Chase’s eyes drifted whenever the future was mentioned. What should have been unity began to feel like standing on cracking ice.

As Brook Lynn pushed for honesty, Chase retreated further, hiding behind forced optimism and hollow reassurances. Her frustration turned into fear — not that Chase had once loved Willow, but that he still did. That fear proved justified.

At the same time, Chase’s demotion and professional humiliation fueled a darker spiral. His resentment toward Michael Corinthos — rooted in jealousy, betrayal, and the life Chase believed should have been his — began morphing into obsession.

Brook Lynn watched the man she loved unravel, consumed by bitterness and haunted by the ghosts of Willow and Michael. Late nights, mood swings, defensiveness — the signs piled up, and trust eroded with each unanswered question.

Then came the truth that shattered everything.

Michael, exhausted by Chase’s escalating hostility, finally exposed the secret Chase had hidden — his continued emotional entanglement with Willow and the boundary he crossed while promising Brook Lynn a future. The revelation detonated Brook Lynn’s world. Every promise unraveled. The adoption plans dissolved. The marriage cracked beyond repair.

But the betrayal went far deeper.

As Drew Cain lay unconscious, fighting for his life, Willow sought Chase out under the guise of grief. What Chase believed was comfort was manipulation. Willow knew he still loved her — and she used that vulnerability as a weapon.

Chase never questioned why she left so abruptly. Never questioned her access requests. Never realized she was searching for poison.

By allowing Willow into restricted spaces, Chase unknowingly became the key to Drew’s poisoning. When evidence surfaced — fingerprints, access logs, timelines — all roads led back to Chase’s apartment and that night in his bed.

For Brook Lynn, the truth was unbearable. The affair alone was devastating. But learning Chase may have enabled a crime — while Drew lay helpless — destroyed any remaining love.

She confronted him, but his excuses collapsed under the weight of reality. He hadn’t meant to betray her. He hadn’t meant to help Willow. But intent no longer mattered.

Brook Lynn filed for divorce without hesitation.

Chase lost everything — his marriage, his integrity, his reputation. Now under scrutiny by the PCPD, his name whispered in corridors once filled with respect, Chase is left standing amid the ruins of his own making.

Willow walks free — for now.

And Chase, the first casualty of her destruction, may not be the last.
