GENERAL HOSPITAL: A Devastated Lucas Learns of Marco’s Ulterior Motives and Vendetta Against Sonny
The Monday, February 16 episode of General Hospital, finally provided Van Hansis, the material we have been waiting for him to have, that reminded us all why we fell in love with him in the first place from his beginnings on soaps as Luke Snyder on As the World Turns.
Reeling by what he had overheard between Marco (Adrian Anchondo) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota), a heartbroken and shocked Lucas tells Marco that he judged him wrongly, and he wants to know exactly what secret project he is working on with his father, and how he heard them threaten to kill Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), if she didn’t do what they wanted her to do!
Marco puts the blame squarely on his father. Lucas admits he feels like an idiot for defending Marco to everyone, in particular his sister, Carly (Laura Wright), who he almost ruined his relationship with to stand by Marco. When Lucas tries to leave Wyndemere, Marco stops him. In tears, Marco, in touching moments played by Adrian Anchondo, says he loves Lucas, and has risked everything for him. Realizing that being close to his father was the real reason they moved to Wyndemere, Lucas accuses Marco of having manipulated him from the very start.

REVENGE FOR MY MOTHER
Suddenly, Marco cops to agreeing to work for his father so in return Sidwell would help him make Sonny (Maurice Benard) pay for his mother Natalia’s death. When Lucas hears this, his illusions of his boyfriend are shattered! Marco goes for a low blow by bringing up the death of Lucas losing his mother and how they are similar.
“You don’t want justice. You want revenge,” an emotional Lucas says. Marco explains he wants vengeance as much as he wants Lucas. As Lucas continues to try to make an exit, Marco begs his boyfriend to give him time to wrap this project, promising he will keep Britt safe in the process. Lucas seems to give in and the two hug, with Lucas realizing he in danger from what he knows, and that Marco is not the man he thought he was. Will Lucas be forced to stay at Wyndemere? Will he work with Britt to quicken the project and help keep her safe? Stay tuned.
MY DEAD HUSBAND IS ALIVE
In other major developments, now out of her coma, Maxie (Kirsten Storms) sits in her clinic bed, with Felicia (Kristina Wagner) sitting next to her. Felicia continues to reveal how Nathan (Ryan Paevey) is actually alive to a stunned Maxie, who is having trouble believing it, when her beloved husband died right in front of her and they had his funeral. Felicia explains how Anna had the casket exhumed from Nathan’s gravesite and there was no body in it, plus how Nathan remembers everything about his life with Maxie before he was shot, but not the next seven years, he was supposedly dead. Maxie also learns that shortly before Nathan arrived back in Port Charles, so too, did a very much alive, Britt!

Now back in Port Charles, Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) talks to Jason (Steve Burton) about Maxie, and how with Nathan back in the picture, he doesn’t have a chance with Maxie, but Jason feels otherwise. Speaking of Jason, at the end of the episode, he is summoned by Britt on Valentine’s Day for a secret meet-up.
A VALENTINE’S DAY TO REMEMBER
Meanwhile, on a date at with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) at a hatchet range, Ric (Rick Hearst) ends up kissing her, and his daughter, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) happily catches the moment, since everyone seemed to end at the range on Valentine’s Day!
So, what did you think of the performances of Van Hansis and Adrian Anchondo in the showdown scenes between Lucas and Marco? How can Lucas land anywhere but in complete hot water now that he knows Sidwell’s plans, and Marco wanting revenge on Sonny? Meanwhile, what do you think will happen when Maxie and Nathan see each other for the first time in 7 years? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out the Spinelli/Jason scenes about what happens next for Spixie now that Maxie is awake and Nathan is alive.
I’m very disappointed in Lucas. Once he learned the truth about Marco, I thought he’d run for the door. He tried but Marco played the dead mother card and Lucas feel for it. Didn’t Lucas have enough grief from desperate, lying Brad? I thought Van Hansis and Adrian Anchondo were very good.
After talking with Obrecht, I hope Spinelli races back to the clinic in Boston and marries Maxie.
So damn good! These two have chemistry and boy! Can they act!? Love that they’re front and center instead of being positioned on the side as the cute gay and stable couple offering romantic advice to their friends.
Well, they are front and center for 2 days out of 5 a week.. You know one of them will be gone soon, and I’m thinking it’ll be Marco, who will die accidentally at the hands of his father, who was trying to kill Lucas.
WSB and the ” Willow show “, are getting old. Let’s get back to “Love in the Afternoon” not hate !!!

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
