For whatever reason, he just had to believe that she was innocent and didn’t shoot Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), and he convinced himself the only reason it looked like she might have was because Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is just that good at framing her.
Rumors are swirling that Chase is the leading male character on the chopping block at GH next. If that’s the case, then we have to consider all the ways that he might be written off the show, and I think it’s quite plausible that he could become Willow’s next victim.
Chase is Nothing If Not a Boy Scout
Sure, he’s broken a few rules here and there, and he recently got suspended for doing what he insists was the “right” thing.
Chase has a heart of gold, and his goal has always been about supporting the people he loves, lifting them up when they’re down, and never straying from the right side of the law.
Right now, he thinks Willow won. He thinks he was right about her and everyone else was wrong, and it may be a bitter pill to swallow finding out he was a fool. It could also be the last mistake he makes.

GH Spoilers Say We’ve Seen This Before
There is a pattern of behavior emerging with Chase. His conviction to prove Willow was innocent was built on years of trust and believing he knew her and that she wasn’t capable of doing such an awful thing. But recall that Chase doesn’t have the most fabulous judge of character.
After all, he was dating Willow’s twin sister, the late Nelle Benson Jerome (Chloe Lanier) once upon a time. Naive and infatuated, he fell for every trick in her book, too. Still, when Nelle was wrong, he pushed her to come clean.
Likewise, when his brother, Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) screwed up, he nudged him to take responsibility. Chase is principled. He’s not likely to give Willow a pass if he learns he was wrong about her innocence, even if the court agreed with him.
Willow Has the Last Word?

He wasn’t just bent on making sure everyone knew Willow was innocent. He was bent on upholding the law as his moral duty.
So if his moral compass is pointed due north, he may be in for a shock soon if he learns that Willow was never innocent at all. If he got duped, he may confront her about it, and that could lead to a real battle of wills.
Chase believes in doing the “right” thing, remember? He supported Willow because he believed she was innocent, not because he wanted her to go free even if she wasn’t. Faced with the truth, it’s likely he’ll encourage her to turn herself in, albeit with his help
. I just can’t see that going over well with Willow. In fact, I wouldn’t put it past her to try to put the kibosh on Chase the same way she did Drew. What do you think? Sound off in the comments, and stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers up ahead.
