GENERAL HOSPITAL: Marcus Learns He’s Not Trina’s Biological Father
On Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital, Trina (Tabyana Ali) opened the DNA test results that would conclude who is her actual bio-dad. Would it be the man who raised her, Taggert (Réal Andrews) or, the man she more recently has come to know, Curtis (Donnell Turner)?
At GH, Marcus, Curtis and Portia (Brook Kerr) gather to learn the results. It turns out that Curtis is Trina’s biological father, not Marcus.
However, are these results, correct? Are DNA results ever correct on soaps? Did Selina Wu (Lydia Look) have something to do with switching these in favor of Curtis? Are we digging into this too much?
After the revelation, Trina tells Curtis. they will need to take some time need to figure out their relationship. Trina makes it clear she’s not looking for a replacement father, and hopes he can understand and accept that. Curtis promises he will let Trina take the lead on things.
Meanwhile, Taggert, who promised Trina no matter what happens that nothing will change between them, decides to take off and breaks down in the elevator. Marcus is devastated and in tears, and is left using the elevator as a punching bag for his fists.
You can watch the final moments of the scene, featuring a heart-tugging performance by Réal Andrews below.
Now let us know, are you glad Trina’s bio-dad turned out to be Curtis and not Marcus … or were you hoping it would turn out the other way around? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Taggert (Réal Andrews) provided a nice but sad performance today on GH. Let the lab results stand with no more switching please. He should be working with a detective agency on the show to get more story and playtime. Come on GH!
I couldn’t agree more, was just saying the same thing to someone last week about them needing to do more with Taggert. I’m not sure what Réal Andrews availability is, I know he’s had some health issues. But if he’s free and good to go, I’d love to see more of him on screen. Why can’t he get his job back at the PCPD? If Chase can, he certainly can. Or like you mentioned, something to do with a detective agency, or literally anything else.
Taggert is a good character with a history, and the fans like him. He deserves more than playing Baby Daddy Roulette with Portia and Curtis.
I agree & lam sick of all the switching around of DNA results. Marcus should be Trina father. Curtis is too arrogant & self righteous!
Curtis really is really self- righteous jerk. He’s dismissed both Jordan and Portia for harboring secrets, and yet, he’s kept his shady business dealings with Ms.Wu a secret, as well as keeping his kissing Jordan a secret.
Hi, Millie—I missed so many Rod—-Did they switch the results again? Is Marcus Trina’s bio dad?
This is the work of Selina Wu. She even told Curtis should could do it.
I agree. Mrs wu is the culprit. Curtis didn’t want her to do anything to jeapodized the results but she’s a real band didn’t listen. Don’t like the character at all.
I agree l don’t like her character either
Yeah but Wu was going to make it so Curtis WASNT the father, remember? She thought him being a dad would make him more cautious and she didn’t want that… Not to mention Stella’s ancestral DNA project led her to believe Trina has more family in Port Charles- So everything aligned with Curtis being her dad. Portia is who’s to blame for this! I’m so mad at her- But she always has her nose turned up at Spencer…
Very much agree
I believe Selina Wu did the DNA switch don’t like her.
Glad it’s Curtis
Glad it’s Curtis who is Trina’s Dad
It’s Dr. That help Anna
I think we won’t see much more of Marcus.
Jacqueline,
It’s not like him to just run off and ditch Trina. I think eventually the DNA results will work out in his favor, after Ms. Wu’s dirty work is found out.
Taggert was heart breaking in the elevator.
Great work Real Andrews! Wish the results were in your favor.
Never thought I could feel sorry for Taggert, but he knocked it out of the park in that elevator scene.
As far as the results being “tampered”.. I don’t see it. Could Selina Wu do it? Sure, but for what purpose? She’s too smart not to know that Curtis wouldn’t come after her if he found out she somehow faked the test. Taggert too, for that matter, since I believe he’s still employed by the Federal government.
As impressive as Real Andrews was in the elevator scene, I’m guessing Taggert will go out of town or we just won’t see him. There’s little reason for the character to remain in PC.
Real Andrew’s performance was gut wrenching. I hope he gets an Emmy nod for best supporting actor. Portia has become a most unlikeable character.
Of course it’s Curtis. Did every one forget that both Trina and Aunt Stella had DNA matches in Port Charles. Duh! They are both related to Curtis. Now can we have this be the end of this. Just do good stories about how every one copes with the news and give Taggert something interesting to do.
Harry,
I haven’t liked her for some time now. I don’t believe she and Curtis will work out now that he and his ex are getting close again, which in turn will have Portia and Taggert reuniting with their ” baby girl”. Oh, how I hate hearing that term from them.
I’m one who’s glad she has two stand-up guys who are willing to give their lives to ensure her happiness. As in the tradition of Soaps, heartbreak is always an inevitable outcome for someone. I’d rather Marcus be the father … But it’s a good outcome either way..
Real delivered the goods; that’s for sure. His performance was heart-breaking from start to finish on that episode. Bravo!

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help
Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.
Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?
Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).
According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”
Take a look below at the rest of the official teasers for the week.

REPORT: General Hospital Alum, Robyn Bernard, Homeless & Battling Addiction, Before Her Passing at 64
Robyn Bernard passed away earlier this week on March 12th, when her body was found in an empty field, which is allegedly behind a 7/11, and some trailer homes, in San Jacinto, California. The actress and singer, and former General Hospital alum, played Terry Brock from 1984-1990 and was 64-years-old at the time of her death.
New reporting on the life that she led over the past year, and longtime mental health issues and struggles with addiction, paint a picture that may have led to her death. Although it should be noted, the toxicology report is currently not completed or released. However, the sheriff department stated that no foul play is suspected.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, friends of Bernard spoke on how she had become part of their homeless community, and that she she struggled with alcohol addiction, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia through the latter part of her life.
In their accounts, things went south for Robyn when in 2014 she moved to the community in San Jacinto, which is 84 miles from Los Angeles. At that time, she moved into a trailer park for senior citizens and was beloved for her singing by her neighbors.
The report also notes that in 2015, tragically, Bernard’s trailer park home was burned to the ground taking 7 of her 8 beloved cats and all of her possessions. After that, Robin stayed with many people of the community, but the previous management chased her off of the premises. She then broke up with her boyfriend and eventually stopped communicating with her parents.
Bernard’s final home was in a community called Parkview Estates, facilitated by Riverside County’s Adult Protective Services Department. According to police records obtained by Daily Mail, through 2017-2019, Bernard faced numerous DUI drugs and alcohol arrests during that period.
Joni Woods, who lives opposite the space where Bernard’s trailer once was said: ‘I used to see her (Robyn) around town all the time pushing her shopping carts. She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.” Robyn’s former boyfriend, Dan Berlin, expressed that the last time he had seen the GH alum was two years ago, “She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way. She was a schizophrenic.’
The friends of Bernard shared: “She used to say that Hollywood screwed her over,” adding, “They did her dirty and that’s why she ended up living in San Jacinto of all places.”
Share your thoughts on this tragic story of the last part of Robyn’s life, which again, stresses the importance of trying to find the appropriate help for those dealing with mental illness, being homeless, and addiction.

While ‘General Hospital’s’ Dante Lays in a Coma; Dominic Zamprogna Has Some Great New Portrait Headshots
On General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has thus far survived two bullets to the chest, and is laying in a coma. Sam (Kelly Monaco), his lady love, is by his side and beside herself after learning her ex Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is alive and is of the belief that Jason have been the shooter who tried to take out Dante.
Sonny (Maurice Benard) has been wracked with guilt after he wasn’t so kind to his son, before the PCPD cop got shot. Meanwhile, Jason is hiding out at the Quartermaine boat house trying to recover from the gun shot wound he received.
While Dante’s life is still hanging in the balance, it appears that his portrayer, Dominic Zamprogna, took a diverse range of headshot and portrait photos under the eyes of talented photographer Jackson Davis. The photos were posted on Davis’ Instagram account.
A few former GH castmates commented on the photos including Marc Anthony Samuel (ex-Felix) who expressed: “Dante, Dante, Dante…,” and Mark Lawson (ex-Dustin) posted, “Dom!!!! Handle yo’ biz.”
Zamprogna joined General Hospital back in 2009 and has been nominated four times for a Daytime Emmy Award throughout his time thus far on the ABC daytime drama series.
