Ethan Lovett's return to Port Charles on General Hospital has fans and viewers alike intrigued, especially with the recent revelation of his connection to the deceased Delilah and her baby, Phoebe. The actor, Nathan Dean, who portrays Ethan, offers a glimpse into the character's complex storyline and the potential paternity of Phoebe. In this exclusive interview, Dean teases what's ahead for Ethan as the mystery deepens.
Ethan's Return and a Surprising Connection
When asked about Ethan's return, Dean admits he was initially in the dark about the character's storyline. "I had no idea what the plan was when I signed on to return," he reveals. "I wasn't given many clues, but I was excited to see the reunion with Lulu and the mention of Luke. Then, the surprise came when I learned about the baby!"
The introduction of Delilah, a pregnant woman found collapsed in the street, set the stage for Ethan's involvement. After Delilah's death, Brook Lynn and Chase became Phoebe's foster parents, hoping to adopt her. Ethan's concern for the mystery woman and his growing attachment to Phoebe have raised questions about his potential paternity.
The Mystery of Phoebe's Paternity
The question on everyone's mind is whether Ethan is indeed Phoebe's father. Dean, like the fans, is eager to uncover the truth. "I can't wait to find out," he says with a smile. "As the plot unfolds, Ethan's growing attachment to Phoebe will become more apparent. He'll make excuses to spend time with her, and it will be clear that he's smitten."
The twins Luna and Lucia Creighton portray Phoebe, and Dean finds their on-screen chemistry captivating. "They're both adorable," he gushes. "Their happiness and alertness steal the focus from me. The cameras love them, and they love the camera. It's a joy to work with such wonderful babies."
A Complex Situation and Ethan's Motivation
If Ethan is indeed Phoebe's father, it adds another layer of complexity to his character. Dean suggests that Ethan's reluctance to claim Phoebe might be linked to the danger he sought to protect Delilah from. "Ethan feels responsible for Delilah's death," he explains. "He doesn't want to draw attention to their past or the circumstances that led to her death. But he's determined to ensure Phoebe's well-being."
The Sonny Corinthos Connection
Ethan's decision to work for Sonny Corinthos, the mob boss in town, has raised eyebrows. Dean hints at a strategic move on Ethan's part. "Ethan's choice to work for Sonny is deliberate," he suggests. "He's seeking protection, knowing that Sonny will go to war if someone threatens him. It's a calculated move to ensure his safety."
As the mystery surrounding Ethan and Phoebe deepens, fans can expect more twists and revelations. Dean promises that the story will keep viewers engaged, offering a unique perspective on Ethan's motivations and the potential impact on his relationships.
