GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lucas Overhears a Duplicitous Marco; Portia Opens the Paternity Results
It’s never usually a good thing to do when you eavesdrop on someone’s conversation, because you just never know what they may say that could come back to bite you!
Such was the case for the upstanding, high morality, Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), when on the February 11 episode of General Hospital, Lucas finally learned that his boyfriend, Marco (Adrian Anchondo), who he just professed to Carly (Laura Wright) is the best thing that happened to him, has some very nefarious things he’s been up to with his father, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota).
It all unspools when Carly gets to Wyndemere under the guise to make peace with her brother, Lucas, in an effort to get access to the wine cellar to help Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) with their mutual vendetta against Jack Brennan. At first, Lucas is not accepting of Carly’s niceties, even though she apologizes to her brother for not being fair over his relationship with Marco.

LYING EYES
Lucas says that Carly needs to do more than just accept Marco, she needs to make an effort to get to know him. Lucas tells her that he sees his future with Marco. Next, Marco and Sidwell come back to the living room and Carly apologizes to Marco for judging him so unfairly. Carly continues that it’s clear that Marco makes her brother happy, and she promises to support their relationship. An overjoyed Marco accepts her apology and promises never to hurt Lucas. Carly looks on skeptical.
Suddenly, Lucas gets a page from the hospital that he is needed, so Carly decides to leave with her brother so they can catch up on the ferry ride back to town. That left Marco and Sidwell to have a chat. However, Lucas came back having forgotten his phone on the way out and was standing in the foyer with the doors cracked open slightly to the living room.
Lucas overhears Marco tell his father that if Carly spends more time at Wyndemere it could be problematic if she saw Britt coming in and out of the catacombs. A stunned Lucas then overhears Sidwell tell Marco that since they are now keeping Britt’s medication at Wyndemere, if the doctor wants to stay alive, she has to complete their project. Lucas is aghast as he scurries away from the door in horror. What he does not know is Pascal (Marc Forget) was behind him catching the entire thing, and we know Pascal already has great disdain for Lucas!
BABY, BABY
At GH, Portia (Brook Kerr) asks Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) to run her paternity test. She has decided to find out if the baby she is carrying is Isaiah’s (Sawandi Wilson) or Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) child. Later, Portia is seated holding hands with her beau, Dr. Isaiah Gannon, when her estranged husband, Curtis walks off the elevator. Portia told him she would call him when the results came in, but Curtis didn’t want to wait and thought it best to join her at the hospital as well as their daughter, Trina (Tabyana Ali), who is there.

As the episode came to its conclusion, Trina is hugging her dad, Curtis, while Portia is sitting on the other waiting area couch with Isaiah. Finally, Britt arrives with the paternity test results. She hands the envelope to Portia, who opens it, and her look does not give away what she seems partially anguished about. Then, Trina asks, “Who’s the baby’s father?” We fade to black.
So, are you glad that Lucas finally had the rude awakening about Marco he had coming? Will Pascal lock up Lucas at Wyndemere and make Marco think his boyfriend left him? Who will turn about to be the father of Portia’s baby? You betting it turned out to be Curtis, Isaiah, or the results were tampered with? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Poor Lucas. He really thought he was “trading up” when he went from Brad to Marco.
Doesn’t seem to be the case. I mean Brad had his duplicitous moments, but he wasn’t threatening to kill any members of Lucas’ family, for Hell’s sake!
And what exactly’s going on with Marco & Pascal anyway? It’s more than obvious that Pascal wants Marco for himself. I’m just not sure whether or not there might be some history there before either one of them moved to Port Charles. Marco came from Miami and Pascal was in Croatia, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t know each other.
I am terrified for Lucas. Sidwell and Marco are both very bad news; but, Pascal seems worse because he is such a sneaky, duplicitous creep. Pascal hate Lucas already. What’s he going to do now that he knows Lucas over heard some of the secret nefarious business?
I hope we’ll finally have the “Who’s the baby’s father?” question answered so we can move on. Personally, I hope Gannon is the father. Nothing in the world against Curtis. I want Curtis and Jordan to be happy together and put lying Portia behind them. Let Portia be Gannon’s problem. Hopefully, he can do something with her.
Nice to see things moving along. Great facial expression on Van when Lucas discovers what’s going on. Don’t think he’ll be able to cover with Pascal.
Once in a while, the writers let us know that Lucy isn’t as naive or flighty as she usually comes across. She has a good idea why Jenz has been using Deception. Maybe she’ll be the one to figure out he is responsible for Maxie’s coma.
Don’t really care who the father is. Isaiah is a dud of a character. Shame, as he has charisma and started with so much potential. Writers appear to be minimizing the challenges of a geriatric pregnancy.
Do viewers really want a kissing cousins storyline?
As a longtime viewer of the show the only adult pairing on this show that is enjoyable currently is Isaiah and Portia as a couple Sawandi and Brook have incredible chemistry together and it is also predictable that the writers will have Curtis as a Dad again just like Nick got to be with Faith and I can’t stand Curtis he is a insufferable man and doesn’t deserve to be a Dad again
Mark my words. It will be MONTHS before we find out the true father of Portia’s baby. There will be some kind of “altered records” scandal that will prove the current results as shady. Yawn.
That scene with Lucas was so good. I dread to think what Pascal will try to do to him. Great story line
Also, this baby daddy stuff isn’t something that I would care much about, but this one has me on the edge of my seat because I can’t tell how the writers are leaning. There’s a lot of story to be milked out of either senario.
I like Trina that’s about it
They need an actor who can act to play Marco. Van Hansis is so cute.
Adrian Anchondo is perfect as Marco.
Lucas is forced to marry into the mob Like real house wife of PC
Live with all that entails and a cheating spouse
I thought the ending of the episode was great! None other than Pascal in the backround seeing Lucas eavesdrop on the conversation between his boyfriend and Jenz. Great writing!! At least there is drama on this show, and it’s pretty good. The writing is so much better on GH!!!
What if Pacal was Marco’s Bio Father? He had an affair with Jenz’s wife
What?!?! I must have missed that episode n if that’s the case it makes PASCAL’S always hanging out much more understandable…
Don’t think Pascal butters his bread that way.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

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.
