General Hospital's Brook Lynn and Chase fear losing custody of their adoptive daughter, Phoebe Chase. Since Chase and Brook Lynn helped take a pregnant Delilah to the hospital and later took in the newborn baby after Delilah's death, they have been part of Phoebe's life. Despite a closed deal, Hudson Parker sniffed out Phoebe's existence and presumably informed Jude Jacks.

Soon, Jude arrive in town and met Brook Lynn and Alexis claiming that baby Phoebe is his daughter. While Jude may consider going for a DNA test to prove Phoebe's paternity, Hudson was seen fighting Jude on behalf of Josslyn. That raises questions about Hudson's role in the Jude fiasco.


5 Queries About Hudson as Jude Prepares to Lay Claims on GH's Baby Phoebe

1) Why would Hudson be loyal to Jude?

Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) was seen talking on his phone to some unknown person after learning about baby Phoebe Chase's birth and adoption. Before that, Hudson had tracked Ethan Lovett (Christian Howard) to Norway and tried to get information about Delilah (Lily Cardone) and her baby.

Since the arrival of Jude Jacks (Wil Traval), it seems like Hudson had informed him about Phoebe. However, Hudson's loyalty towards Jude remains a surprise since Hudson works for JJE where Jude has no role or connection.


2) What is Hudson's true motive for coming to town?

Initially fans saw Hudson track and assault Ethan to learn about Delilah's baby. Later, he met Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and informed her that he was the VP of Operations at JJE. He also told her that she was now CEO of her father's company, JJE and helped Josslyn make an aggressive corporate move on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Meanwhile, he was seen taking extra interest in baby Phoebe and talking to some unknown person on his phone.

After Jude's arrival in Port Charles and his claims on Phoebe, Hudson publicly tackled Jude when the latter had an altercation with Josslyn. As such, Hudson told too many stories to know his true motives.


3) How did Hudson track Delilah and Phoebe?

As viewers may remember, Hudson's arrival at the Metro Court Hotel, his trip to Norway to catch Ethan, and his visit to the Quartermaine mansion with Josslyn all seemed very deliberate. He seemed to know that the pregnant Delilah had come to Port Charles. Later, he looked into babies born during the relevant time period and tracked down baby Phoebe. The rest Josslyn did by giving him the complete story of Phoebe's birth and adoption.

However, Hudson's source of information on Delilah and her arrival in Port Charles is as yet unclear. The same is the case with his tracking Phoebe to the Quartermaines. Whether more informants are involved remains to be seen.


4) Will Hudson help Jude take Phoebe away?

As mentioned before, Hudson and Jude's connection remains unclear. Initially Hudson was giving information about Phoebe to an unknown caller. GH fans assumed that Hudson was communicating with Jude when the latter arrived in town and demanded to meet his daughter, Phoebe.

However, when Josslyn had an argument with Jude, Hudson physically pushed Jude back. It looked like a scuffle that had to be broken. Since Jude wants to dissolve Phoebe's adoption and take the baby away from Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard), Hudson's position in this battle is as yet unclear. Whether he pretends to side with Josslyn and covertly helps Jude in claiming Phoebe remains to be seen.


5) Is Hudson biologically related to Phoebe?

Hudson's back story is not known by anyone in Port Charles. As such, it is his word against anyone's that he works for JJE and has been asked by Jasper Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) to contact Josslyn for the role of the CEO in the company.

However, as mentioned before, his quick search on Delilah and locating baby Phoebe seems too much of a coincidence. Whether he is related to Phoebe from the maternal side or connected to the family in some other way remains to be seen.


Will Hudson prove an ally for Josslyn and the Quartermaine family or will he side with Jude? Share your views in the comments.
