CHASE JUST MADE THE DUMBEST MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE — AND HE MAY LOSE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
months, General Hospital fans have watched Harrison Chase make one questionable decision after another. But what happened at the Quartermaine boathouse may have crossed a line that he can never come back from. In a single reckless moment, Chase may have handed his enemies exactly what they needed to destroy him. His badge could be gone. His marriage could be headed for disaster. And if Tracy Quartermaine decides to retaliate, he may not even have a place to live. What looked like a dramatic arrest could actually be the beginning of Chase’s complete downfall.
The biggest problem isn’t that Chase arrested Tracy. It’s when and how he did it. Just minutes before the arrest, Acting District Attorney Justine Turner delivered what many fans believe was a direct warning shot. She made it crystal clear that she didn’t trust Chase after his previous interference and practically told him that one more mistake could cost him his career. Instead of laying low and staying out of trouble, Chase immediately walked into a situation that may have been even worse. If GH writers wanted to show a man making the worst decision possible at the worst possible moment, they may have succeeded.
What makes the situation even more damaging is the fact that Chase wasn’t actively on duty. He had already changed into civilian clothes and finished his shift. He wasn’t responding to a dispatch call. He wasn’t conducting an official investigation. He wasn’t accompanied by another officer. Yet somehow he ended up placing one of Port Charles’s most powerful citizens under arrest. Fans immediately exploded online, questioning how Chase thought this would end well. Many viewers believe this alone could give Turner the ammunition she needs to launch an internal investigation into his conduct.
