General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that the truth about Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) and Jackie Templeton’s (Kim Delaney) history will eventually come to light. There was major tension when Jackie appeared and caught Finn off guard. Finn and Jackie have to be secret exes, right? They totally had that bitter former flames vibe between them.
This is definitely more than just Finn not being a fan of his stepmother. There was pain in Finn’s eyes – almost a wistfulness mixed in with his obvious grudge. So what’s the real story between these two? Let’s look at some clues and try to figure out where this hot plot’s headed.
For starters, we should point out that Finn’s a logical guy. He’s a respected doctor with a kind heart, so there’s just no way Finn’s anger is solely about his dad moving on too fast.
Gregory Chase (James Read) got together with Jackie quickly following the death of Ms. Finn, so it’s easy to see how Finn would’ve been hurt and irritated. But for decades?! Why would Finn even care anymore?
Finn didn’t even hold a grudge over Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) keeping his own daughter from him. Hayden caused Finn to miss out on some major milestones with Violet Finn (Jophielle Love), but Finn worked through his anger fast. It wasn’t long until Hayden, Finn and Violet were all bonding as a family.
Finn has also been willing to get past his concerns about Peter August (Wes Ramsey) and even plans to make him a groomsman at the wedding. Time and time again, Finn has proven that he doesn’t really hold grudges – so why is Jackie such a special case?
We’d say it’s because there’s a whopper of secret between them. It’s likely one that’ll affect Chase a great deal down the road. That brings us back to what seemed obvious in Jackie and Finn’s first interaction on the show.
Finn seems to be Jackie’s ex, so she was likely in a romance with him before she ultimately chose Gregory instead.
We should also mention that Finn’s grudge extended to Chase until his brother came to Port Charles. It took a long time and a lot of work on Chase’s part to start forming a sibling bond.
No matter what happened in the past, it wasn’t Chase’s fault. Finn doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would shut Chase out for so long without a good reason.
Is that reason because Finn might actually be Chase’s father? If Jackie slept with both Finn and Gregory around the same time, Finn may have always been unsure of Chase’s paternity. That’d explain why Finn chose to keep his distance from Chase all those years.
If that’s the story GH writers are going with, this secret will rock Chase to the core. We really want to focus on Chase’s reaction because the rug would be pulled out from under him in so many ways. Chase just might punch Finn if he felt like he’d been deceived like this.
From there, Chase would have a decision to make. If there’s a chance Finn is his bio dad instead of his brother, would Chase want to know? Chase might mull over whether he should have a paternity test done to confirm things one way or the other. There’d be pros and cons to weigh in that situation.
Part of Chase might just want to leave it be and continue on with his life. Another part of Chase might feel like he has to know the truth.
General Hospital could get some serious drama out of this, though we’d bet the paternity test results would prove Finn is NOT the father. That’d be a huge relief and would allow Finn to get his brotherly bond with Chase back on track in time.
Even so, there’d be a lot for Chase to sort out in the meantime. Will Chase reel over Finn and Jackie’s old romance eventually? Will Chase demand to know if Finn’s his father?
