General Hospital Perry Shen Teases Baby Swap Storyline Is Coming To An End

Perry Shen’s Brad Cooper has been in the center of the baby swap storyline on “General Hospital” involving Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Nelle Benson’s (Chloe Lanier) baby. Nelle swapped the baby with Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) dead baby, and Brad ended up adopting baby Wiley to complete his and Lucas Jones’ (Ryan Carnes) family.

In an interview with Soaps In Depth, Shen said that the baby swap was totally about Nelle, but “Brad fell for it hook, line and sinker.”

Brad is now far from his old self, who was a remorseless conniver, but Shen said many people still see his character as despicable. On one hand, he has also generated a fan-base that understands his character well and knows why he does what he does.

“There’s a percentage of people who’ve seen his heart. They know he’s very impulsive and easily swayed emotionally,” Shen said. He also said Brad loves Lucas, and whatever he’s doing right now, he’s doing what he feels is best for his family.

Shen also loved working more with Duell and MacMullen. He admitted that when Michael was mourning the loss of his child, it broke his heart as well because he was so good.

Finally, even though he’s a straight, married man in real life, Shen said that playing a gay man has been “very simple” for him.
