General Hospital Spoilers: Chase’s Sidestep of Protocol with Judge Heran Hints He’s Not Over Willow

General Hospital spoilers gush the fans are whispering about Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) bold move last week at Bobbie’s, where he cornered Judge Eva Heran (Tessa Auberjonois) to vouch for Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) as a mother.

This impromptu chat broke all kinds of protocol and ethics, as Chase tried to sway the judge’s view amid Willow’s custody battle for Wiley and Amelia Corinthos (Viron Weaver, Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko) against Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson).

Chase, usually a by-the-book detective, doesn’t bend rules for personal favors — yet here he is, stepping outside his professional boundaries.

What’s changed? Fans speculate it’s a sign he’s not over his ex-wife Willow, and this “heroic” act could position him as her new knight in shining armor.

With Willow’s fledging rebound of a relationship with Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) doomed to implode and Chase’s marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) on shaky ground, could old flames reignite?

Chase’s Ethical Slip: A Favor Too Far?

Chase’s conversation with Judge Heran was no casual chat; he actively tried to paint Willow as a devoted mom, ignoring the risks to his career and the case’s integrity.

Normally, Chase lets the law run its course, even when it hurts. Remember his reluctance in past dilemmas — like those of his brother, Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton)? This time, he’s willing to jeopardize everything, hinting at deeper motives.

Speculation runs wild that it’s unresolved feelings for Willow driving him — after all, their marriage ended amid her leukemia crisis, but the love never fully faded. If he’s not over her, this “favor” could be his way back into her life.

Willow’s Impending Implosion with Drew

Willow’s desperate plan to fake a reunion with Drew to regain her kids screams bad idea. Drew’s true colors as a manipulator are shining through, and even Willow admits she is wary.

Their “romance” is built on sand, bound to collapse under Drew’s schemes. When it does, Willow will need a real hero.

Enter Chase, whose sidestep for her suggests he’s ready to step up. Fans see this as foreshadowing: with Willow isolated from Michael and her family, Chase’s support could evolve into something more, especially if he exposes Drew’s dirt.

Chase’s Rocky Road with Brook Lynn

Chase’s marriage to Brook Lynn is cracking under pressure. She has paused their adoption dreams indefinitely to mend her bond with Giovanni ‘Gio’ Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), leaving Chase adrift. This emotional gap might explain his focus on Willow; even Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) sees red flags in Willow’s choices, but Chase dives in headfirst.

If his “help” leads to overstepping — perhaps comforting Willow too closely — it could spell doom for his marriage.

Will Chase’s lingering love for Willow turn him into her savior, or cost him everything? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to see how this shakes out for this former couple who has already had a second chance.
