5 Ways Lulu’s Sidwell Scoop Could Shake Up General Hospital

General Hospital's Lulu Spencer has the scoop of the year and quite possibly the decade. She approached Nurse Elizabeth with the request to interview Sidwell. Rebuffed, she stole Felicia's ID tag and met with Sidwell in his hospital room. When Sidwell dropped the name Willow Tait, Lulu knew she had quite a story on her hands.

After talking with Drew, and getting some info from Elizabeth and Lucas about how odd it was for two men to develop locked-in syndrome after suffering strokes in the same living room. Lulu's story is now set to send shockwaves through Port Charles, so buckly up, because the consequnces could be endless.

5 Possible Consequences of Lulu's Big Story

1) Willow's social and political image ruined

After months of waiting to see Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) get her deserved retribution, General Hospital are itching to finally see her innocent façade crumble. For months, she has managed to lead her two lives efficiently, thanks to her mother's support and the people who were happy to collaborate with her. She also managed to forge a new political career while people who knew her truth remained quiet for various reasons.

Lulu Spencer's (Alexa Havins) story is set to expose her association with mobster Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and the latter's supply of paralytic drugs to keep Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) "locked-in." It may also reveal her previous crime of shooting Drew in the back, from which Willow was exonerated. In this fictional version of DC where scandals still mean something, these revelations may ruin her chances of being re-elected while her social reputation among family and friends would be ruined.

2) Michael scrambles to shield Wiley and Amelia

As the rest of Port Charles learns about Congresswoman Willow Tait's criminal actions, her children, Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) and Amelia Corinthos (Sienna Goerisch) may also learn about the wacky things Mommy has done.

General Hospital fans may remember that Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup), who knew that Willow shot Drew, had informed Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) about it. Michael used the intel to force Willow to live in the Quartermaine gatehouse so that their children would be near both of them.

However, both Michael and Willow's prime concern has always been their children. As such, Michael would want to protect Wiley and Amelia from the effects of the latest exposé. He may scramble to formulate some way to keep them from learning about it. If he needs to side with Willow, he may do so.

3) Drew's revenge plan uncovered

While General Hospital fans already know, the citizens of Port Charles would be excited to know how Congresswoman Tait victimized former Congressman Cain. However, it may also focus on Drew wanting revenge on Willow and her supportive mother, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). Since Nina is in Steinmauer in connection with the disappearance of WSB agent Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), while maintaining that she is innocent, the WSB may look into things.

With Drew's story made public, the WSB may have an interest in someone holding a grudge against Nina. This may put the spotlight on Drew with a possible investigation into his movements and past corruption. To avoid that, Drew may negotiate a specific narrative with Lulu, if he learns about her scoop ready to be released.

4) Chase shocked but prone to justify

When Lulu's revelation lands in public purview, expectedly, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) will be stunned. Since he is leaving his wife for keeping secrets from him and trusts Willow completely, he may be flabbergasted to discover this dirty truth about Willow.

However, he may have two different reactions. First, he may realize his mistake of throwing away a healthy family bond over a friendship based on bigger lies. While his wife, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), only kept small secrets, Willow, who Chase trusts, committed bigger crimes.

The other way Chase is likely to react in this situation would be to justify Willow's actions. Instead of being shocked at the truth, Chase may blame Drew, Michael, or other situations for having pushed innocent Willow to commit monstrous crimes.

5) Lulu's legal peril needs Laura's intervention

While most consequences would revolve around Willow, the GH fall preview teased that Willow would print and story and the subject would sue her. It looks like we have now reached that point, so Lulu is likely to have her day in court, thanks to Congresswoman Willow. She is going to need her mom for that, so Laura better return from Ireland soon.

Will Willow finally face the consequences of her actions or will there be other players to help her out again on General Hospital? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
