General Hospital
‘General Hospital’s’ Adrian Anchondo Speaks Out on Marco’s Intentions Towards Lucas After Pivotal Scenes Air
As previously reported, the Monday, February 16 episode of General Hospital brought with it a major moment of truth and confrontation for boyfriends, Lucas Jones and Marco Rios. The scenes were emotionally fraught and played to perfection by Van Hansis and Adrian Anchondo.
Lucas finally gets Marco to admit what he is really up to by having them living together at Wyndemere, and how he is working with his nefarious father, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), in return for his father’s help in bringing down the man he blames for his mother’s death to his knees, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
Throughout their on-screen relationship, GH viewers have wondered if Marco’s feelings for Lucas are genuine, since Lucas has basically turned his back on anyone who warned him about Marco and living at Wyndemere including his sister, Carly (Laura Wright).

Taking to his Instagram after the pivotal scenes aired and sharing most of the video of the scene with his followers, Anchondo captioned the video clips with the following comment, “Love hurts This was one of my favorite days on set with one of my favorite actors. For everyone that doubted Marco’s intentions and feelings for Lucas, here is your answer. Love is so complicated, especially when mixed with feelings of remorse, guilt and a lack of closure. Will Marco get the justice he seeks? Or will he give it all up for love?”
In the key dialog, a gutted Lucas tells Marco on not listening to the warning of his sister, Carly, “I turned my back on her and I never had to. I believed every lie you told me, no more.” Marco responded, “I never lied to you about my feelings. I love you Lucas. I want to build a life with you.”
Next, Lucas says, “We could have done that on the mainland. You have been manipulating me this whole time. I did not move to this Godforsaken Island because we were taking the next step. It was so that you could have easy access to your dad to carry out what is it that you’re extorting Britt to do for you.” However, an anguished Marco sees it differently and responds, “I brought you to Windermere because I wanted us to be together day in, day out. Don’t you see … I risked everything for you.”
The question posed by Anchondo in his post does have General Hospital viewers concerned for what come’s next. What is going to be the upshot from this turning point in the relationship of Lucas and Marco? Where do they go from here? Is Lucas just going to keep Marco’s secret … or find himself caught in a web of lies he cant get out of …. or is someone going to have to silence him for his knowledge of what is truly going on at Wyndemere? Stay tuned!

Now weigh-in: What do you think will be Lucas’ next move? Keeping everything quiet and still trying to believe in Marco’s love for him? Is Marco going to give up his thirst for revenge on Sonny for Lucas? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

Adrian Anchondo and Van Hansis played exceptionally well off of each other in these scenes; however, the writing is on the wall for Marco, I do fear.
Marco
This was Hansis’ best material since joining the show. He communicates so much with body language.
Would be nice for Lucas to let Britt know he’s willing to help her.
One, two, or all three of these male characters won’t survive through the spring:
– Marco
– Chase
– Kai
I can’t wait for Chase to receive his comeuppance. He deserves a very hard fall after the way he has been setting up Micheal.
Loved the way Tracy called him out on Tuesday episode.
I suspect that Chase is about to find out what it feels like to be falsely accused. It’s no secret to anybody how desperate he has been to pin Drew’s shooting on Mikey.
So now that Nathan has shown up at the Q mansion, and Mikey willingly handed over his keys without incident, it should be obvious to anybody with two connected brain cells that Mikey had no idea that there was a key to Drew’s house on his keychain.
But Wiley saw Chase playing with Mikey’s keys in the Q kitchen. And he’s going to mention that to somebody. Probably to Mikey. Or possibly Tracy. And Chase is going to look really guilty of “planting evidence”. Even though he’s not the one who planted it.
So Willow… in her effort to frame Mikey has also framed Chase, accidentally. And should they even bother to attempt to charge Mikey based on this flimsy “evidence”, we all know Diane is going to have those charges dismissed immediately. Because she knows, for a fact, who shot Drew.
So if Chase is accused of planting evidence, will he get kicked off the PCPD for real, as opposed to being demoted to “beat cop”? Will BrookLynn dump him for trying to frame her cousin Mikey? Or will Chase finally put the pieces together, realize that Willow is just as crazy as her sister Psycho Nelle was, and get himself a needle full of the same stuff Drew got, when he goes to confront her about it?
I mean, let’s face it. Being a uniformed cop is nearly always a death sentence in Port Charles. Just ask most of Maxie’s former boyfriends. Or Rory & Dex, for that matter.
Great summation, Satan. Thank you. And honestly, if Michael shot Drew, wouldn’t he hide the house key rather than put it on his key ring?
Oh Satan ! I would love to see Willow stick Chase with a needle in his neck, and see him lying there, as she confesses all her crimes to him.
Alexis knows Willow is a “murderer “. So, shouldn’t she know better than to allow Willow to care for Drew? Isn’t Alexis, herself” committing a crime?
No. Alexis is not committing a crime. An attorney only has a responsibility if they know their client is going to commit a crime – not a crime that was committed in the past.
She tried to kill Drew but that’s okay with Alexis
—not the point. I know how the law works. My parents are both attorneys. It has nothing to do with the law, but everything to do with what is right. Willow is dangerous. Who’s next? Michael? Anyone who she thinks suspects her? It’s a matter of conscience. This is a stupid plot and it has gone on waaay too long.
You asked if Alexis was committing a crime. It seems to me that your question was answered but you didn’t like the answer.
It is a soap, which often does not represent the real world. Since your parents are attorneys, have they read your comment? I would think they believe in the law regardless of what might be considered “right”.
Yes she is and deserves some payback for withholding evidence in an attempted murder trial.
Alexis was schooled by Diane about how her job was to defend her client to the best of her ability and that she could be disbarred if she revealed what she knew about Willow’s culpability. Strictly speaking, Alexis broke no law.
Let’s hope Marco shoots his father dead defending Lucus. Then Marco can be cleared of Sidwell’s murder and they can have a life together.
Sidwell solution is always just to kill anyone who is in his way, it would be only fitting for Marco to take Sidwell out.
That’s my hope. Some way to redeem Marco. I know many don’t like him, but I do and want him and Lucas to have an ongoing relationship.
There’s many who started out liking Marco but see the writing on the wall – there’s no future for the character. Even if he does in his father, that leaves him with no family on canvas.
Lucas is sticking around. Hansis is a good actor. There’s opportunity to bring in a new gay character that has some sore of connection on the canvas. (And by saying new – that does not include Brad).
From your lips! Please no Brad!
Maybe Dillon Q has realized he’s bi?
Agree, no more Brad
I’m trying to think of a “GH legacy” character they could bring back. Maybe it’s time they brought back the REAL “TJ” – Thomas Hardy Jr, the son of Tom & Simone Hardy.
Steve & Audrey would have another grandson represented on canvas. It would make total sense that he was a doctor, given who his parents and grandparents are. Elizabeth would have an actual relative in town. And he would be in approximately the same age group as Lucas give or take a few years.
I like that suggestion. Have him be one of the characters who gets called by their last name so to avoid confusion with TJ Ashford and (should he ever return) Tom, Sr.
Lucas and Marco are so dull together. I pray this mess of a storyline ends soon. Maybe if they try hard they can salvage something of Lucas’ character which has just become “raging moron” since meeting Marco.
Excuse me? Lucas and Marco are anything but boring. Both actors are bringing their A game to the table and the writing and direction are in lock step. Some might argue that they’re star crossed lovers given their family’s warring dynamics.
To each their own but me and everyone I know who watches the show all agree those 2 can cure insomnia.
You should get out more.
they going to have to kill lucas. he know too much
That’s what I’ve been thinking. But Carly will somehow save him
I think Lucas should have walked away just from the knowledge about Brett & the revenge against Sonny . However Lucas originally put that idea in Marcos head about Sonny. Carly knows he is in danger and Sidwell will try to kill Lucas. When Lucas confronted Marcos & Lucas took his hand . I was very upset. The guy is a liar and ruthless like his dad.
Does Carly even know about Marco’s revenge plot against Sonny, who is wrong. His Mom suicided herself.
On the subject of Chase. I hope Michael’s son tells that he saw Chase doing something to his dad’s keys . I also hope Drew somehow over comes Willows attempts to keep him drugged and gets his revenge on her. And Brooklynn ditches Chase. This entire story line is dragging out far too long. Time for Willlow to pay. Michael to be exonerated, and Chase to permanently lose his job through exposure.
Wiley will definitely share what he saw. No doubt. And Chase will get fired – for the act of Willow. As he promised (& broke), Chase should’ve just stayed out of it.
Right. Even though he didn’t plant the keys, he deserves to be fired for breaking the chain of evidence. And that might be the last we see of Chase. I’m old enough to remember good cop, Chase who was in a relationship with good school teacher, Willow. I liked them both in those days.
I’d love to see Lucas forced to marry Marcos and live in a mafia world with violence , intrigue and infidelity
I love Van Hansis because he can act the other one Adrian something just looks likes he’s acting.

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.
Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.
In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?
On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.
In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”
The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.” Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.
So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
