“#Next Up for Chase & Willow on ‘GH’? Josh Swickard Weighs In<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) wasn\u2019t counting on Chase (Josh Swickard) staying alive when she married him on his \u201cdeathbed\u201d on General<\/a> Hospital<\/em>. Fortunately, thanks to Finn (Michael Easton) figuring out that Gregory (Gregory Harrison) was Chase\u2019s biological dad, he was able to come up with another DNA-based treatment to save his brother\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Will Chase have to be re-admitted if Willow breaks his heart? After all, she only married him because she thought he was going to die \u2014 her heart belongs to Michael (Chad Duell).<\/p>\n

Today, Jordan (Briana Nicole Henry) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) throw Willow and Chase \u2014 who\u2019s still in a wheelchair \u2014 an impromptu party to celebrate their marriage. Will Willow\u2019s secret come out? TV Insider recently chatted with Swickard about his character\u2019s near-death experience, how he feels about Chase\u2019s true paternity, and shooting a sequel to last year\u2019s Netflix movie A California Christmas<\/em> opposite wife Lauren Swickard (who also served as the film\u2019s producer and writer).<\/p>\n

We actually didn\u2019t know if Chase was going to make it or not! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Josh Swickard:<\/strong> We do our best to keep a story under wraps. That said, actors don\u2019t know much more than the audience does. I know about three weeks out. I was getting script<\/a>s where Chase was having seizures. Then, Finn\u2019s antidote didn\u2019t work. I hadn\u2019t gotten a talking to about being killed off but then, I read the script where Chase flatlines. I thought, \u2018Oh, is this it?\u2019<\/p>\n

What was it like playing Chase\u2019s condition worsening? He really thought he was checking out. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I was living in the moment with it and enjoying the process as an actor. It\u2019s one of those love\/hate things. I would come home and realize it had affected my body. I was spending 12 hours a day on set, working, playing someone who was sick, even dying. You chemically and emotionally put your body through that. By the end of the day, you feel like you\u2019ve been hit by a truck. But that\u2019s the stuff you get to bite into as an actor where it\u2019s not all sunshine and rainbows. I love the physicality of acting.<\/p>\n

Playing those seizures looked very intense. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s a fun opportunity to commit and take all the way. I truly enjoyed the story. I feel blessed that the writers and Frank [Valentini, executive producer] gave that to me and let me play it.<\/p>\n

From the minute viewers learned that Finn and Chase were brothers, there was a theory that Finn was Chase\u2019s dad. That turned out not to be true but for a while, there was \u201cproof\u201d that he was. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a hard pill to swallow at first because Chase believed Finn was his brother. But I wouldn\u2019t have played anything different because neither of us knew [for sure]. It\u2019s kind of cool. There aren\u2019t too many genres where they can throw these kinds of big curveballs at you \u2014 \u201cHe\u2019s your brother! No, he\u2019s your dad!\u201d I was happy that Gregory stayed Chase\u2019s father. I think that would be my personal viewpoint because I love the brother dichotomy with Michael [Easton]. But if it had gone the other way, we would have run with that and it would have been good, too.<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s makeup artists made you look like you were gravely ill but I think it\u2019d take a special effects team to make your hair look bad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Laughs<\/em>] Thank you. Isn\u2019t the makeup team phenomenal? I\u2019ve heard so many comments about the makeup team. I sing their praises repeatedly. Somedays, I\u2019d come in all tan after having been outside and they\u2019d roll their eyes. \u201cC\u2019mon, man!\u201d But they\u2019d do their magic and Chase would look like he\u2019d be knocking on death\u2019s door. I give them so many kudos. They helped me believe I was doing what I did.<\/p>\n

Is it ever confusing on set with Gregory Harrison playing Gregory Chase and your character\u2019s name is Harrison Chase but he goes by Chase? <\/strong><\/p>\n

There is so<\/em> much of that. We also have Hamilton Finn and Finola Hughes [Anna]. Oddly enough, it doesn\u2019t get too confusing when a director will call out shots and give us our blocking. It works for some reason. But, yes, I would think it would get more confusing than it does.<\/p>\n

Right now, Willow and Michael are lying to Chase because he hasn\u2019t fully recovered. Is that parallel to when Chase and Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) lied about being together so that Michael could win custody of Wiley (Erik and Theo Olson) over Nelle (Chloe Lanier)? <\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s interesting\u2026I don\u2019t know how Chase will react but<\/em> I can\u2019t see that situation going over well for anyone regardless of their temperament.<\/p>\n

There are similarities \u2014 people lying for love and the greater good. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. It\u2019s not the same particular history but it\u2019s not totally different, either. You can definitely argue what Chase and Sasha did was different but Willow is doing what she is for the right reasons, too. Chase might<\/em> handle it better than the average Joe would because of what he\u2019s been through but he might not handle it all that well. That\u2019s my guess.<\/p>\n

Who knows? Willow could fall back in love with Chase? Or Sasha and Michael could do the same, as well. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. There are a couple of options [the writers] could take. I think there\u2019s always going to be something between [Chase and Willow]. I am wondering where the writers will take this.<\/p>\n

We hear that Willow\u2019s going to eventually choose to stay with the guy who has the better head of hair. Let the debates over your and Chad\u2019s follicles begin. Kidding. <\/strong><\/p>\n

[Laughs<\/em>] That\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n

Do you have any other projects coming up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. [My wife Lauren and I] are filming the sequel to A California Christmas<\/em>. If all the stars align, it\u2019ll come out this Christmas. The working title is A California Christmas 2: City Lights.<\/em><\/p>\n
