The Monday, March 23 episode of General Hospital did not disappoint as it moved storylines to its apex, and clearly delineating who is the baddest man in Port Charles of them all! Yup! WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

In story, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) was stabbed by Cullum in the law office of Miller & Davis and left there, bleeding out on the floor and at that point, still alive. Next, Cullum sees the message from Lucas (Van Hansis) that he’s meeting Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at the pier.

Lucas goes to Britt, and their scenes showed the very human side of their once contentious and thawed relationship played to perfection by Kelly Thiebaud and Van Hansis. Meanwhile, Jason (Steve Burton) had to escape an arrest warrant by the WSB in front of his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), by head-butting Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) to get away and Rocco (Finn Carr) showed up on the pier hiding in the shadows, listening to every shady thing that is going down against the woman who gave birth to him, Britt!

CULLUM TURNS EVEN MORE DEADLY

In addition, Brennan (Chris McKenna) seems like the first person to call out Nathan (Ryan Paevey), for potentially not being the real Nathan and what his purpose is for showing back up in Port Charles 7 years after he supposedly died. The two share a war of words, while Brennan is looking for Britt and searching her room at Bobbie’s. Brennan wonders if Nathan is just clueless and lost 7 years of his life, or if he is working on the inside and knows much more about the Cullum/Sidwell exploits then he is letting on.

After Jason gets away from Dante, the acting police commissioner puts on an APB on him, and Danny gets upset that Jason doesn’t have his gun to protect himself, because he surrendered the weapon to Dante.

Back at the pier, Britt is so grateful to Lucas and Marco for getting her the vials of medication to save her life. She admits she is leaving town tonight with Jason which Rocco overhears. Britt pleads with Lucas to not go back to Wyndemere as it will quickly be discovered that the two vials of he medication were stolen. She also tells Lucas to watch his back.

MARTIN TELLS LAURA HE’S LEAVING PORT CHARLES

In the mayor’s office, Martin (Michael E. Knight) informs his sister Laura (Genie Francis) that he’s leaving Port Charles for a case in Reno but then worries he’s leaving Laura to have to deal with Tracy (Jane Elliot). Laura reassures him all will be OK. After Martin exits, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) shows up and tells Laura that Martin’s leaving was all his doing since he was getting his nose in business he shouldn’t have. Sidwell remains threatening to Laura when he brings up Kevin and Ace. Laura asks how he’d react if his son Marco was threatened, but he still remains threatening to the mayor to do his bidding, or else!?

After Lucas has left, Cullum shows up on the pier. He demands Britt give him the medication vials and pulls out a gun. Rocco is hiding/watching the whole thing. Sadly, Britt hands the vials to Cullum and he stomps all over them and she begins to cry. Cullum says she has two choices. She either returns to Wyndemere to finish the prototype where she will be locked up, or he’ll arrest her as the director of the WSB.

JASON AND CULLUM SHOWDOWN TAKES SURPRISING TURN

A fight breaks out, between Cullum and Britt. She goes flying and hits her head on a crate and is knocked out. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Jason shows up and jumps Cullum before he has the chance to shoot at Britt. As Jason and Cullum have a knock down drag out fight, Cullum’s gun does down, but Cullum pulls out a weapon that resembles a long baton and is about to strike Jason dead with it, when Rocco picks up the gun and shoots Cullum in the back. Jason is stunned and so too is Rocco!

Then, in the GH preview for tomorrow’s March 24 episode below, someone is rushed into surgery (we think it’s Cullum) and Alexis stumbles upon something in her office, we assume it’s Marco!

So, what did you think of today’s dark episode of General Hospital? What did you think of Rocco shooting Cullum, which will set up a whole set of problems with his father, Dante? With Steve Burton leaving GH for his hiatus, how will Jason exit the show? And what of Marco? Imagine the heartbreak for Lucas if he is pronounced dead!

THIS is what a soap opera is supposed to be!! So glad I’m watching GH again! Today’s show was amazing!!! I was on the edge of my seat.

I agree, GH is the best soap out there ☆☆☆☆☆

I loved the twist and turns in this episode. Glad cullum got shot. Hate marco got stab but the story line was very exciting. Loved all the action. Love you general hospital. Keep up the good work.

You wouldn’t expect Luke Spencer and Sonny Corinthos’ grandson (who was carried to term by the daughter of Cesar Faison) to have a normal life.

Looking forward to seeing the twists this carries for each of the characters.

Kudos to Hawkes, who plays a very convincing bad guy. Much more ominous than Rota.

Great episode today. But Britt needs to get her medication and her Jason need to leave Port Charles. Marco needs to live. Jason needs to tell Dante the whole story about Sidwell shooting the professor and is blackmailing Laura for doing it.

I think cellular should die and sidwell should leave laura alone as he needs to grieve.his own son and all this wsb stuff should come to head and valintene be freed from his nightmare but who knows.

Sadly, Sidwell will probably suspect Laura and Sonny. Since Laura had mentioned Marco in their last meeting.

Sounds like it was great. Unfortunately the SPECIAL REPORT ABOUT THE PLANE CRASH AT LA GUARDIA HAD TO COME ON AT THE SAME TIME AS GH. TG WAS JUST ABLE TO CATCH.IT ON MY PHONE TO CATCH UP.

I Loved the Story today,,, hopefully Marco lives a minute to talk to his Loved ones.. Jason will quickly give Rocco a lesson on keeping his mouth shut. Cullen Lives.. Sidwell????

Hopefully collum dies and sidwell realizes they are closing in on him

I want culumn to be dead Marco survived Brit to get access to her medicine and creat medicine by her self. Sidwell to be dragged and dead.

I WISH ALL THE BAD GUYS GET OUT OF PORT CHARLES, SO SORRY IT HAD TO ROCCO TO PULL THE TRIGGER, , FEELING THE FALL OUT WILL AFFECT ROCCO

But if all the bad guys left Port Charles, there would be no stories.

How boring would that be!
In real life it would be bliss, but a daytime drama needs….. wait for it…… DRAMA!

I’ve never understood the soap “fans” who want everybody happy…

WOW, what an episode. Makes Y&R look as exciting as Sponge Bob

Ain’t that the truth!

And Y&R has more holes in their stories than Sponge Bob has in his body.

Your so predictable. You have done this so many times. Killing off Jason is sick. This time he’s alive. He needs a vacation we all do and you need to hire writers that care about the show more than thier paycheck it shows. By the way iam 72 years old and have watch GH every day since I can remember.

Denise, I’m confused. To whom are you speaking ?

I LOVE my General Hospital!! I’ve been a fan for over 30 years!! Since Luke & Laura! ❤️ My family & friends know don’t call me between 2pm-3pm!! The actors, the writers, the storylines are truly amazing!!

I hope Marco makes it.

Me too. Tired of all the good guys dying too soon while the bad guys keep living while making everyone’s lives miserable. And yes, I’m incorporating real life into my escapism.

I would also be confused why Adrian was signed to a contract role only to have Marco exit so soon. I would be very sad and feel robbed of see Lucus in a happy relationship.

If Marco does die…I feel I will have a sadness that Conor feels over Dex’s untimely death.

Don’t be getting all Conor on us, lol.

Being on his first soap contract, Adrian certainly had 13-week cycles where the show could cancel the rest of the contract. He’s been on for a year now. The decision to have the character depart likely happened prior to the photo shoot last September.

While there was a lot of potential at first for Marco and Lucas, this apparent ending is what classifies as “storyline dictated”.

I was cooking while watching and almost burned my squash! Everything was moving at a hundred miles an hour ! It was great!!

I don’t like the way the show is going now.

Please be more specific. Tell us why.

Well now we have a good exit strategy for Jason while keeping Britt on the canvas. Jason leaves as a hero, and will be released from prison when it is found out that Collum is the villain and Rocco was merely saving Jason’s life. Well done.

Let Marco live.

Won’t police forensics see the crushed medicine vials on the dock? And find the baton knife?
It should have Marco’s blood on in it leading to Cullum as a suspect, not Jason.

Wish they would have done a temporary recast for Burton !! Trevor St John would have been amazing!!!!

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, after Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) chloroformed Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), she winds up thrown into the secret room at Wydemere with Josslyn Jacks. Now, both Obrecht and Joss are under the thumb of Cullum and Sidwell  (Carlo Rota) for different reasons.

However, what will Cassius (Ryan Paevey) think of the news that his mother is being forced to finish Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) work on Faison’s final project?  Cassius gets very alarmed when Sidwell informs him in the Monday, June 8 “Next on General Hospital” video teaser, that, “Locating Britt is no longer a priority.”

Meanwhile, Portia’s (Brook Kerr) baby shower is here, which could wind up in an all out war between Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner).

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum Kidnaps Obrecht as Britt’s Replacement to Finish Faison’s Final Project

Published

on

By

WSB director Ross Cullum is truly as despicable villain as they come, and played with steely intensity by Andrew Hawkes. For the double agents latest crime, you need to look no further than the Friday, June 5 cliffhanger of General Hospital, where in the episode’s final moments he sneaks up on an unassuming Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) after hiding in the back seat of her car.

Next, he chloroforms her with his intent clear. He plans on forcing her to finish the last leg of Faison’s final project at Wyndemere, since her daughter Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) left town with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in tow to get away from Cullum!

In what led to the kidnapping, Cullum had a terse conversation with his business associate and co-conspirator on the project, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). It is Sidwell who is preoccupied with wanting to bring Marco’s killer to justice (not knowing it’s the man right in front of him!). Sidwell told Cullum if bringing Marco’s killer to justice wasn’t a priority for the WSB director, then why should protecting Cullum be a priority for him?

SIDWELL VS. CULLUM

The two finally put aside their differences as they have to complete Faison’s final project for it will be highly lucrative for them, useful for their mutual gains, and groundbreaking. In order to do that they need a great mind with a scientific background to finish it up and get them to the finish line since Britt as disappeared.

Later, outside of “General Hospital,” Obrecht is headed back to her car after searching Britt’s office for any clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. But when she got in the car to drive away, that’s when the aforementioned Cullum strikes!

BROOK LYNN GETS ADVICE FROM A FORMER ADULTERESS

In other key developments, after Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) keeps inserting herself into Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) life, all with the seeming pretense to pay back Chase for helping her clear her name at the trial, and standing by her, she brings good news in person about baby Phoebe’s adoption to Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) law office to Chase. Once Brook Lynn heard Chase was on her away over with paperwork, she decided to hightail it out of there for an “emergency” appointment for Deception.

As we come to find out, Brook Lynn meets up with Lucy (Lynn Herring) at the Metro Court pool, She then proceeds to inform Lucy about Willow sniffing around he husband. Lucy says she knows a thing or two about being an adulteress. Brook Lynn wants Lucy to help her send a clear message to Willow to stay away from her husband, or else!

Now below, check out the scenes before Obrecht was kidnapped where she visited Willow, Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) and suspects Willow is up to no good.

Then let us know, with Lucy taking Brook Lynn under her wing, what plot do you think the two will come up with against Willow? What do you think will happen to Obrecht? With Lucas also at Wyndemere trying to bait Sidwell into an attempted murder charge, will he winds up thrown in the secret room with Josslyn?
