5 Ways Charlotte’s Latest Move Could Change Her Life on General Hospital

General Hospital's Charlotte Cassadine has embarked on a dangerous ploy of trying trap Drew Cain in a compromising position so she can blackmail him into letting Danny Morgan spend time with his sister, Scout Cain, who is also Drew's daughter.

Although Danny requested her not to go ahead with her plan, Charlotte snuck into Drew's car outside the Metro Court Gardens. After setting up her phone camera, she proceeded to wait in his car with her spaghetti straps showing. Since she is likely to get caught, she will also likely face some consequences.

5 Consequences Charlotte May Face for Her Scheme

1) May be reported as a juvenile offender

Charlotte Cassadine's (Bluesy Burke) scheme is both risky and irresponsible. Trying to frame a friend's father in a scandal is reckless. To add to her troubles, her target is Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), who is a dangerous person himself. Moreover, Drew is on his own journey of ruthless revenge. As such, the former congressman would not be deterred from taking strong action on the teenager.

Whether caught by Drew or some other person, there's a chance that whoever catches her may report Charlotte to the police for breaking into Drew's car, which could land her in juvenile detention.

2) Danny may be forced to distance himself

Charlotte had shared her plan with Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), but Danny had warned her against doing anything dangerous. Yet Charlotte took no heed of his caution. When Danny realized that Charlotte might be putting her plan into action, he panicked.

Since Drew dislikes Danny, he may consider think that Danny was Charlotte's accomplice. Danny may get blamed and even targeted by Drew. Moreover, Scout may take offence that Danny and Charlotte planned an attack on her father. To shield Scout from hurt and himself from further harm, Danny may consider distancing himself from Charlotte and her wild actions. This is likely to leave Charlotte friendless.

3) Jason, Carly, and other adults may take control

Whether Drew catches Charlotte in her foolish scheme against him, or some other adult finds her in the act, she could be stopped in her tracks right away. Realizing the dangers of antagonizing the former cutthroat politician any further, mediating adults like Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) may need to step in.

They may dissuade Charlotte from bringing her ploy to its end right away. They may physically remove her from the sensitive spot and inform her father so he can take control.

4) Permanent fractured trust with Lulu

Recently, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) and Valentin had a discussion about Charlotte's wild ways. Lulu is aware that Charlotte is a liar and a deceiver. As such, she believes that the teenager needs strict rules in place.

However, Valentin's parenting method is more relaxed and trusting, which Lulu believes must change. When Lulu learns about Charlotte's heedless actions, she may be left shocked at her daughter's foolishness in taking on Drew. Since Charlotte is undertaking this move in secrecy, the trust between mother and daughter will be broken forever. Whether Lulu feels the compulsion to step in and enforce control over Charlotte again remains to be seen.

5) Loss of unconditional support from Valentin

Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) accepted Lulu's blame of him being a lax parent. While he prefers to be more of a friend than a father for Charlotte, he may not realize that Charlotte is misusing her independence. When he learns of her recent actions, he may identify the free and dark Cassadine spirit in his daughter.

He may scramble to manage the narrative of the situation and save his daughter. Moreover, Valentin may give Lulu more control over Charlotte's parenting. As a result, for the first time in years, Valentin and Lulu on the same page about Charlotte's parenting. Charlotte may be left irritated and upset by this collaboration between her parents.
