GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lucas Steps Into the Danger Zone After Pascal’s Outburst
On General Hospital, Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) has decided to avenge his boyfriend’s death. So, he’s going to park himself at Wyndemere, which will lead him into treacherous path of a revenge-filled Pascal (Marc Forget), who is taking the loss of his infatuation, Marco Rios, to extremes!
On the April 2 episode, Lucas has two very threatening encounters. First, when Lucas arrives at Wyndemere he has an encounter with Marco’s grieving father, who tells him that Marco’s killer must be brought to justice, and that this gives the two men an opportunity to lean on one another in their grief.
Lucas doesn’t trust Sidwell (Carlo Rota) as far as he can throw him, and in a nuanced performance by Van Hansis, playing the anguish of losing Marco, and his absolute disgust of Sidwell, Lucas agrees to Sidwell’s request to stay on Spoon Island. However, when Sidwell hugs Lucas, it’s all he can do to hold himself back from his distrust of the nefarious Sidwell, but viewers see he is determined to find out what happened to Marco.

A DEADLY OBSESSION
Then, a drunk Pascal enters the study and tells Lucas in a very back-handed way that he’d make sure his room was clean since he is staying a Wyndemere. Lucas notices something is very off with Pascal and that he’s drunk. Pascal shouts that he is grieving Marco’s death and it is all Lucas’s fault.
Pascal screams that Lucas used Marco, and that he saw Lucas sneaking around and listening in on private conversations. He then goes ballistic and tells Lucas that he was the one that should be dead! Pascal beelines it out of the study, leaving Lucas completely shaken.
The GH writers have now built a major story for Lucas. First, he operated and saved the life of the man who stabbed his boyfriend to death in Cullum. Second, he has now ensconced himself at Wyndemere with two very bad men … Sidwell and Pascal.
Take a look at the scenes with Lucas meeting up with Sidwell, and his confrontation with Pascal below.
Now weigh-in; do you think Pascal is going to do everything he can on his own to derail Lucas and try to end his life? Should Lucas get out of dodge, pronto? Share your reaction to the confrontation and the set-up for the next leg of the story via the comment section.
I wasn’t completely sure before yesterday. Now I know. In addition to being evil, Pascal is nuts.
Van Hansis is doing an amazing acting job in his role. Believable. Mentioned before that he hasn’t had a scene this week where his eyes were not full of tears. He makes me cry. I think, if anything, he will avenge Marco’s murder…and we won’t see it coming.
The scenes between Lucas and Britt were extremely well done. Van has truly shined these past few weeks.
The writers don’t know what to do with Pascal. Last year, he was the enforcer in Croatia. Then he was downgraded to a glorified butler. Now they’ve revealed he’s gay and has been pining for Marco. Obsessed with Marco is more like it. Now he’s unhinged. The only consistent trait through all these versions is he is creepy. I won’t miss Pascal whenever his storyline ends. I won’t miss Sidwell either. Sidwell, for someone who never heard of Port Charles a few years ago, sure has his hands in everything regarding Faison.
Pascal is great fun! The actor who plays him is good at playing psycho-campy if there is such a thing.
The scenes between Lucas and Pascal offered a perfect mediation between solid writing and pitch perfect acting on both actors’ parts. Pascale’s escalation into insanity drive by his lovelorn grief and Lucas’s reaction was pure gold. It was evocative of the golden age of soaps- the 80s. As I said before, I loved Pascale going all Mrs Danvers to Lucas’s Mrs De Winters. (for reference, check out Rebecca starring Joan Fontaine and Lawrence Olivier)
Just as long as the two of them don’t hook up as some sort of “grief sex”. Because that would be a little too much.Though at least no pregnancies would be involved, as is usually the case with such types of “one night stands” in Port Charles.
Like I said though, I really hope Lucas gives Pascal & Sidwell a reality check and tells them that their buddy Cullum killed Marco, and leaves it up to them how to handle their internal “housecleaning” within the Legion of Dumb ranks.
Lucas had too much class to consider Pascal as a dance partner.
The two of them together would be the gay version of Luke and Felicia or Sonny and Emily. Gross.
I wasn’t around for Sonny & Emily, thank goodness. And I wish I hadn’t seen the Luke & Felicia mess. Ick!
The thought of them hooking up for “ grief sex” didn’t cross my mind. Yes. That would ruin everything and push Lucas over the edge. Poor guy has been through enough.
Absolutely love the performances of Sidwell and Lucas’ tearful eyes. Why was Marco written out of his part. Simply a gorgeous man— what will he do now?
Lucas continues to break my heart. VH continues his stellar performances. Hope he can get Britt’s meds for her now that he is staying at Wyndemere. Give this man a contract, STAT!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
