General Hospital
EXCLUSIVE: GH’s Adrian Anchondo Previews Marco’s Involvement in ‘Who Shot Drew?’
When the action picks-up this week on ABC’s General Hospital, Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) will be back in the story, and we haven’t seen him since two major crimes were committed in Port Charles: Judge Heran was murdered and thrown into the pier, and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) was shot twice in the back in an attempt on his life.
After all, things really kicked into high gear when Marco ran to Drew to tell him that Judge Heran accepted a $1 million bribe to rule in Michael’s favor at the custody hearing for Amelia and Wiley. Marco wanted to pin everything on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), who in his mind is the responsible party for the death of his mother, Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva LaRue). Problem is when his dad, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) found out what he did, he shouted as his son that he ruined all of his plans to bring Sonny down. Next thing you know, the judge is dead and Drew has been shot.
General Hospital newcomer, Adrian Anchondo chatted with Michael Fairman during an exclusive conversation now on the Michael Fairman Channel, where he discusses not only his current storyline, but his co-stars including his on-screen love interest, Van Hanis (Lucas), the exited Eva LaRue, Carlo Rota and more. In addition, Adrian teases what’s to come and what fans should be on the lookout for as the suspect list grows and grows for who wanted Drew dead (although nobody could blame anyone for doing).

Anchodo spoke on why Marco spilled to Drew that Judge Heran was bribed and his alter-ego’s true reasons behind it, “I think it’s that that built-up rage and that built-up pain. He couldn’t wait for his father to make a business decision. He wanted him to act from his heart, the way he acted from his heart when Marco came out to him, you know, accepting him and loving him right away. I think that Marco is questioning, ‘Where are you?’ That’s why Marco creams, “I don’t care about those piers. That’s not what we’re talking about here. I thought we were on the same page about what this punishment (for Sonny) has to come from.” I think, in the end all that mattered was that Sonny was punished and hurt. Marco just wants the healing process to speed up faster. I don’t know if Marco is going to realize that a lot of this pain might be coming from his own guilt.”

Coming up, might Marco use his legal expertise to further bring down Sonny, or someone else related to the ‘Who Shot Drew?’ attempted murder case? Anchondo teased, “I think that you will start to see some interesting relationships form because of Marco’s work and because of his emotions and his relationship with his father.”
While the jury is out on how Marco’s moral compass will be comprised, if at all, by his next actions, Adrian suggested, “I think (viewers will feel) some annoyance, maybe. I think that like many of the characters, you’re going to question motives, and you’re going to question their intelligence and what their intentions are. (When I found out) I thought, ‘Oh, this is an interesting twist! Where is this going to go?’ I’m also really excited about this explosion between father (Sidwell) and son (Marco). I think it could be the start of an unraveling of a relationship.”

Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is already in the hot seat for his disdain for Drew, and for benefitting if the Judge could never admit she took a bribe. Some believe Michael or Sonny might be framed for this act.
Anchondo weighed-in on how Marco views Michael, “I think that Marco might actually relate a little bit to Michael. Not only just being a son of someone who’s ‘horrible,’ but I think that, Marco probably sees Michael as someone who is just doing the best they can with the hand that they were dealt.”
According to Anchondo, fan response has been swift. They want Marco to be a good guy! “I was at the General Hospital Fan Club Event recently, and the fans said, ‘Please don’t turn bad,” recalled Adrian. “Everyone wants Marco to be really good. I think the interesting thing about soaps is that there’s a little bit of good and bad in everyone. I saw online someone say online, ‘a hero and a villain’s origin story is pretty much the same.’ They all start off that they were hurt by someone. They were an orphan, or the system brought them down, or something was taken away from them, and they grew up in poverty, whatever it might be. But what makes the hero or the villain is how they choose to respond to their stresses and to their pain. And in any moment, someone who is a hero could be a villain, and someone who’s a villain could be a hero in the same. In that same week Marco was lashing out, he also rescued Kristina (Kate Mansi) from the fire at Charlie’s.”

Viewers have yet to seen where Marco was the night Judge Heran was found dead in the pier and Drew was shot. With this being Adrian’s first soap opera whodunnit storyline, he summed it up best, adding, “I think everyone’s ties make them a suspect on this show, which makes it so much fun.It’s like a never-ending Clue.”
Watch our full interview with Adrian Anchondo below now on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Then weigh-in, after reading and watching what Adrian had to say, how do you think he will become involved in the ‘Who Shot Drew’ storyline? Do you think he could wind up a suspect? Could his father point the finger at his own son? Might he represent someone who is need of legal trouble and mess up their counsel or do them right? Will he continue to target Sonny, or help bring down his criminal father, Sidwell? Share your theories via the comment section below.
Great interview! You have succeeded 100% Marxo is adorable… and iI always look forward to your scenes. You could butter toast and it would a great scene.
I just wish whoever shot Drew should have put a couple more rounds in him. I don’t want Drew to recover
I love Marco and wish he had more choices for lovers other than drippy Lucas. If Lucas were still played by Ryan Carnes, the heat would be off the charts!
I hope Ricky Martin does make an appearance as Adrian suggested in the interview. What a hot love triangle that would be !!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
