General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Jude Jacks (Wil Traval) has taken center stage in the Phoebe Chase storyline ever since he showed up in town, but there’s another key player in all this.
The show still needs to explain Delilah Wilson’s (Lily Cardone) point of view and spill all the details of why she decided to run.
According to Jude, he wanted a family and got Delilah to agree to do IVF for him.
Jude claims to have all the proper paperwork to back this up and establish that he’s the biological father.
However, Delilah ran off, which led to Jude’s lengthy search for her.
It obviously took a while for Jude to nail down answers about Delilah and his baby, but must’ve gotten them through Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) as his secret employee.
Of course, there must be a reason why Delilah decided to bolt.
Now that GH fans are seeing Jude’s menacing side come out, it’s easy to see how Delilah would’ve seen that, too.
Perhaps Jude fooled Delilah initially with that Aussie charm and made her believe he was going to be a decent dad.
Plus, Delilah was no doubt getting a ton of money to be part of the process.
Once Delilah caught a glimpse of the real Jude and perhaps learned more about his family history, she may have gotten spooked.
Delilah may have realized there was no way she could possibly let her child be raised by Jude.
That’s especially true if Ethan Lovett (last played by Christian Howard) offered warnings based on suspicions that Jude was just like his father, Jerry Jacks (Sebastian Roché).
Whatever the case, Delilah was surely trying to save her baby when she ran.
Ethan was supposed to meet up with Delilah in Port Charles and help provide protection, but she died in childbirth before he had the chance.
That said, Ethan tried to keep his promise in the aftermath of Delilah’s demise by rigging the DNA test and making himself seem like the father.
It was Ethan’s way of attempting to bury Phoebe’s true paternity and keep Jude as far away from his daughter as possible.
General Hospital spoilers say more information will eventually be revealed about Delilah’s decisions and her role in working to protect Phoebe, so stay tuned for any shocking news to come.
