GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason is Taken Into Custody By the WSB, Marco Dies Sending Lucas and Sidwell Reeling
The Wednesday, March 25 episode of General Hospital facilitated the temporary exit of Steve Burton in the role of Jason Morgan, the final exit of Adrian Anchondo as Marco Rios, and left the door open to the continuation of a huge umbrella storyline that has everyone in the know keeping secret the fact that Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) is the person who shot WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
As viewers previously saw, Jason took the fall for the young man and now finds himself in a situation he may never get out of. The episode featured such strong performances by the men, in particular, the aforementioned Burton, plus Van Hansis (Lucas), Carlo Rota (Sidwell), Finn Carr and Asher Antonyzyn (Danny). Here’s what went down!
At Lulu’s (Alexa Havins), she finally is able to get Rocco to explain what happened at the pier. He tells his mother he shot Cullum to protect and save Jason, which is how he injured his hand. Lulu wants to make sure no one saw him. Rocco swears Cullum or Britt knew he was there. Lulu says no one can know about this, and in his tears and through his confession, he promises not to tell a soul. Lulu then offers up some ominous words saying, “she’ll take care of everything.”

ONE LIFE SAVED, ONE LIFE LOST
Back at the intense drama in the operating rooms at GH, Lucas is able to get the bullet out that’s lodged in Cullum’s back. Meanwhile, Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) keep finding more and more stab wounds and problems during Marco’s surgery in their attempt to save him.
After Lucas finishes his surgery on Cullum, he goes to call Marco, but gets his voicemail again. Suddenly, near the hospital elevators, Elizabeth tells Lucas she needs to talk to him and tells him Marco is dead. Lucas is overcome. She takes him to see Marco after explaining he was stabbed multiple times. Lucas says goodbye to his love in an exceptionally sad scene. What Lucas does know yet, is that the man he saved in the OR, killed his boyfriend!

At the PCPD interrogation room, Jason is not talking to Dante (Dominic Zamprogna). Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) shows up as Jason’s lawyer, she talks to him privately and informs him Marco was stabbed on the floor of her law offices. Talk turns to Danny and Jason wants Alexis to be Danny’s legal guardian, which she agrees.. Suddenly, Brennan (Chris McKenna) and a gaggle of WSB agents show up, saying they are taking Jason into custody. Meanwhile, at Carly’s (Laura Wright), Danny is pleading with Carly and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) to help Jason who shot a WSB agent, and its Cullum. They are stunned.
THE WSB THROWS ITS WEIGHT AROUND
Back at the PCPD, Brennan tells Jason that Cullum has pulled through his surgery thus far and the WSB is taking over his case. We learn, Jason is being charged with attempted murder of an agent and it is considered an international incident. The agents tells Dante, Justine (Nazneen Contactor) and Alexis, the WSB supersedes the PCPD and Jason is going into their custody and they shackle Jason and take him out of the police station to a waiting van.
At Wyndemere, Sidwell and Ava (Maura West) are making out, when Chase (Josh Swickard) shows up and informs Sidwell about Marco and if he knew who would want to hurt him. By the time, Jenz gets to the hospital, Dr. Gannon informs him that his son died. Then, Sidwell goes to sit by his Marco’s body, and with anguish, rage and heartbreak, he promises to make Sonny suffer for both his and his mother Natalia’s death.

EVEN MORE ANGUISH
Ava finds Lucas outside of GH, but he doesn’t want to talk about Marco being dead, because then it becomes too real, and he tells his aunt he’s not ready to grieve. As he breaks down, Ava hugs him.
A heartbroken Britt, who is beside herself, gets to the outside of the PCPD just as Jason is being taken away. In a very emotional performance by Kelly Thiebaud, she tells Jason she loves him as she breaks down. Jason tells her he loves her too as he knows this may be the last time they see each other. In the climatic ending, Danny shows up and says goodbye to his dad as he tearfully watches the van carrying his father drive off.

The question becomes will the story progress while Steve Burton is on his hiatus? Will Valentin and Carly help Jason escape off-screen and he becomes a fugitive and we don’t see his whereabouts, or might that happen later when Burton is set to return? The two-time Daytime Emmy winner wrapped filming on February 6, but is slated to be back this summer to pick-up taping all new-episodes.
You can check out the heartbreaking confession of Rocco Falconeri to his mother, Lulu Spencer below.
Now let us know, what did you think about how GH sent Jason off the canvas? What did you think of the performances of the cast? Which moments gutted you the most? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
The writers deserve a lot of credit for crafting an umbrella storyline that makes a lot of sense and appears to be covering all the beats. Having Isaiah be the doctor operating on the son of the man who nearly had him killed while Lucas operates on the man who killed Marco – well thought out!
Prison (or some form of it) as the temporary exit for Jason much better than a fake death or coma. Having the WSB be involved leaves open the opportunity for Jack to be the hero down the line (with Carly eating crow).
Rota, who often overacts, was quite moving in his scenes.
Minor annoyance…
the show really needs another nurse. Elizabeth can’t be the only one. In the operating room, Lucas was talking to an under-5 instead of Felix, Deanna or Amy (who apparently are only asked on for the Nurse’s Ball.)
Have to agree with you OG Steve. The show really needs more nurses. Poor Elizabeth can’t do everything. Bring back Felix, Deanna and Amy. The hospital needs life. If this Amy is anything like the original Amy Vining, beautifully portrayed by the late Shell Kepler, she’ll keep hospital information flowing.
Amy Vining would have had a field day with Portia and her melodrama.
Another superb episode. Everyone did excellent work. I’ve been especially impressed by Asher Antonyzyn and Finn Carr. Both can really bring it when given meaty material. Congratulations to both of them.
My opinion is that Lucas was the weak link in this very well done story.
When he was in the room with the love of his life who had just died, I felt no emotion or real grief.
Honestly? I’m not a big ole cry baby but he had me in tears. His grief was so apparent that it was palpable. But he played it with quiet intensity. Had he shrieked and cried, I’d agree with you. It was the power of an understated performance. In my opinion, Van Hansis played it with perfectly.
with perfection. Sorry.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!
Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.
Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?
At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.
Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.
Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?
Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.
Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.
You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.
Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”
Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
