General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Nelle Benson Archer (Chloe Lanier) will take steps to lock in her best custody chances. After securing a steady job at Crimson thanks to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), Nelle will show more signs of stability.
GH fans know Nelle also documented her recent visit with Wiley Quartermaine-Corinthos through a sweet selfie. Nelle’s hoping to sell herself as a devoted mother – a woman who’s just trying to overcome her past mistakes and build a beautiful life with her son.
In reality, Nelle’s still incredibly manipulative and a huge threat to Wiley. General Hospital spoilers say Nelle will likely show her true colors after Wiley’s upcoming medical crisis. Wiley will need surgery, so you can bet Nelle will exploit the situation somehow. There’ll surely be some way for Nelle to capitalize on her own kid’s pain.
Nelle can probably us this as another custody strategy – a way to make Michael look like a bad parent and present herself as an alarmed mom. Even if nothing about this crisis is Michael’s fault, Nelle can still act like he handled it poorly.
However, Michael has a secret weapon to rely on if need be. Of course, we’re talking about Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). There’s always the possibility of Michael marrying Willow to show he’s got a stepmother for Wiley who’s better than the real thing. Michael could present a better alternative than Nelle.
What will Nelle do if Michael and Willow indeed tie the knot? Could Nelle decide to beat Michael at his own game? Nelle married Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) to get her hands on those ELQ shares. Perhaps could once again enter into a marriage with a goal in mind – namely, presenting a better father to the court than Michael.
There’s probably not a truly good man on canvas who’d marry Nelle, but she could trick some poor new schmuck into it. After all, both Michael and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) were duped into seeing Nelle as a victim once upon a time. So was Zachary Grant! Nelle’s a master at manipulating men into thinking she’s a damsel in distress.
General Hospital could easily cast a new hunk to get tricked into helping Nelle out. What if Nelle shows up to court with a new hubby on her arm – some wealthy doctor or businessman who isn’t a felon and has a great reputation? If it’s a good enough strategy for Michael, it’s a good enough strategy for Nelle.
Since Willow may soon become Michael’s bride, it’d probably be best for Nelle to distance herself from Shiloh and the last name of Archer. Willow’s cult story will likely be told in court, so Nelle could use another husband to pretend she’s building a perfect family with. Nelle could argue Shiloh and all the other drama of the past is behind her.
