General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that one ABC soap star was stunned by a recent twist. GH fans know Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) is always full of surprises, so her portrayer has learned to expect the unexpected. Even so, Chloe Lanier didn’t see this Julian Jerome (William deVry) marriage bombshell coming.
“I was totally shocked when I got this script,” Lanier admitted. “She always seems to have some trick up her sleeve, and this one is pretty wild.” Lanier suggested that Nelle is a woman who knows what she wants, so she’ll do just about anything to make it happen. That certainly proved to be true when Nelle blackmailed her way into becoming Mrs. Jerome!
As for the custody battle itself, many General Hospital viewers have been debating Nelle’s motives. Does Nelle genuinely care about Wiley Quartermaine-Corinthos (Erik and Theo Olson) or is this merely about defeating the enemy? Lanier argued that Nelle actually cares about Wiley in her own messed-up way.
“It’s more than just wanting to beat Michael and Carly,” Lanier insisted. “Obviously, she despises them, but she really does want the kid. She wants custody because she wants to give Wiley the life that she never had an opportunity to have.”
In Nelle’s mind, she doesn’t see Michael Corinthos’ (Chad Duell) world as one she thinks her son should be living in. Between the Quartermaine family and the Corinthos clan, Nelle sees the potential for a “miserable upbringing” according to Lanier. Nelle’s trying to help Wiley avoid the trauma she faced, so she thinks she should be in charge of raising him.
Lanier noted that Nelle truly thinks she’s the best parent to give Wiley a home. “She really does believe Wiley would be much better off with her,” Lanier said. “What can I say? She’s delusional!”
Plenty of GH fans can agree with Lanier on that! Nelle deludes herself into thinking she’s always right, so that tends to bring bombshells as Nelle works to pull off her goals.
