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.
