General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Rocco Confesses to Britt That He Shot Cullum; Ethan Has an Agenda, But What Is It?
On the Tuesday, April 21 episode of General Hospital, while Rocco (Finn Carr), who is doing community service at the hospital, brings a pillow into Cullum’s (Andrew Hawkes) hospital room, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) is walking past the hospital room door, and is mortified upon the scene.
Britt sees Rocco chatting with Cullum, who tried to kill her and had Jason dragged away to parts known. Having no idea of the true background on how Cullum was shot, Britt makes up an excuse to get Rocco to quickly exit Cullum’s room. After they leave, Cullum smirks.
Next, the two head to the hospital chapel to talk privately. Rocco shared he hadn’t realized whose room he was walking into when a nurse told him to deliver the pillow. A very concerned and frightened Britt warned him to stay away from Cullum, calling him “evil.” She went on to say how Cullum was the man behind having Jason taken away by the WSB.

ROCCO COMES CLEAN
Just then, a guilt-ridden Rocco confesses to Britt that he actually followed her the night Cullum was shot to the pier and hid, but saw everything that happened. Britt is in shock, when Rocco reveals, he shot Cullum, not Jason!
In other key developments, Ethan (Nathan Dean) visits Sonny (Maurice Benard) asking for a job inside his organization, since he is down a man with Jason being gone. Ric (Rick Hearst) is there and doesn’t trust Ethan one bit. After all, Ethan has a history like his father, Luke Spencer, of working a good con job. After some back and forth, Sonny tells Ric to interview Ethan for the job.

ETHAN LANDS RIGHT WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE
After the line of questioning, Ric insists to Sonny that bringing Ethan aboard is too big a risk. Ric voices his concern that Ethan could be woking for Sonny’s enemies to help take him down and out. Sonny hires Ethan anyway, and confesses he knows Ethan is hiding something, but feels confident that he wouldn’t use Sonny’s friendship with Luke, and his father’s memory, to double cross him. Sonny tells Ric, he is doing this for Luke.
Once outside of Sonny’s, Ethan is on the phone and calls Lulu (Alexa Havins) where he admits he got a job with Sonny. Lulu is worried, but Ethan, who is glaring through the window at Sonny and Ric, tells his sister, “I’m exactly where I needed to be.”
You can catch Ethan’s “job” interview with Ric and Sonny below.
Now let us know, what angle do you think Ethan is working? Is he trying to truly protect Sonny? Is he working for the WSB and under Sidwell’s thumb? Or is something else going on? And, what do you think Britt will do now that she knows that Rocco was the person who shot Cullum? Will she try to get Jason back to Port Charles? Stay quiet, or try to take out Cullum herself? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Ethan is Luke and Holly’s son, so of course he’s “working an angle”, as Sonny himself said. It wouldn’t make sense that he’s working for the WSB or any other law enforcement agency, because his parents told him not to trust cops.
And there’s not a snowball’s chance in my backyard that he would be on Sidwell’s payroll, after what he did to Holly & Lucky. So I will be eternally damned if I know what his agenda is, but obviously it’s one that benefits from the resources of Corinthos Coffee, LLC to help him pull it off.
There’s been some speculation on whether Ethan might be the father of baby Phoebe. The timing of his return seems about right for that. Tracy would certainly be shocked to learn that Luke’s grandbaby is now living under her roof in the Q mansion.
I think it’ll turn out that Ethan is baby Phoebe’s father and maybe he sent Delilah to Port Charles to keep her safe from someone or something.And maybe Delilah was the one Ethan was leaving a message for saying he’d be waiting on the docks at a certain time everyday waiting for that person to show up but unbeknownst to Ethan Delilah is dead.Also maybe the name Delilah is an alias that Ethan told that woman to use to make sure she couldn’t be tracked down by whoever was after her and that would explain why the police couldn’t trace that woman’s family since she was using an alias.
I’m going to take a slight detour from the subject matter and talk about the depressing, pointless story of Jordan’s accident. For so many reasons, the story is not working. The biggest weak link in this badly written storyline is the glaring fact that Donnell Turner ( Curtis)is a wooden, lifeless and monochromatic actor. Moreover, Curtis is written a self-righteous, hypocritical, somewhat narcisstic jerk. I don’t like him- I don’t root for him. But he’s supposed to the good guy- right?
Excellent point Harry – and it’s one I’ve thought about for a number of years now. The character of Curtis has the capacity to be a leading man, but Turner’s performance continually pushes me to a “why should I care” or “can we just move on” feeling.
Even when Curtis was paralyzed in the MC pool accident- golden material for most actors – DT just didn’t bring in.
Donnell seems like a nice guy and is a long time fan of the show. That said, after 11 years of playing the character, there’s little remaining in a tank that was never quite full.
Right, and when you juxtapose his bland reaction to discovering he is Trina’s father to Taggert’s anguished reaction from discovering that she is not, what you have is a tale of two actors. Donnell as Curtis always tends to be in a state of righteous indignation- he is a one more actor. His great love Jordan is going through a physical and emotional crisis but he’s laser focused on getting Isiah.
Rocco was told to tell NOBODY about what he did. So he goes and blabs it Britt?? And was I wrong, but how did Cullum know Rocco’s name when he brought him the pillow???
Cullum met Rocco at least once before so that wasn’t a stretch. Cullum also knows how Britt feels about Rocco.
Cullum seems to do his homework at least part of the time. As he proved today when he talked to Liz about her connection to Jason and their son Jake. Even knowing where Jake is currently enrolled in art school .
On the other horn there was that random run-in with Joss at Wyndemere. She even used her real name but he didn’t seem to realize she was on the WSB payroll.
Unless he was playing her all along . Which is entirely possible .
Of course his previous interest in Rocco was to find out what he actually knew about the Nutty Professor’s old lab at PCU since Rocco had previously been arrested for breaking into the lab, but didn’t really see anything of significance.

Beyond the Gates, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, or The Young and the Restless? Make you pick and drop it in the comment section below.
The Thursday June 4 episode of General Hospital paved way for the end of the line for Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) butler/fixer, Pascal (Marc Forget).
In the pick of the June 3 cliffhanger, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) was the hero and stopped the evil-doer from fleeing Port Charles for his part in aiding and abetting his boss with the cover-up of the murder of Professor Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard) among other crimes.
Today’s episode did indeed mark the final appearance of Marc Forget who joined the ABC soap opera when he debuted back in July of 2025. Viewers met met Pascal when Kelly Thiebaud returned to the soap opera as Britt Westbourne and she was being blackmailed to work on Faison’s final project while at the Five Poppies in Dalmatia.

A General Hospital rep confirmed to Soap Opera Digest, that the June 4 episode, “Will be the last viewers will see of Pascal for now, but notes that in the world of Port Charles, comebacks are always possible.” So, how did Pascal get written-off the canvas? Here’s what went down:
PASCAL GIVES LUCAS KEY INFORMATION BEFORE BEING DRAGGED AWAY
After Sonny intercepted Pascal on his desperate attempt to get out of town, Sonny informed him hat Sidwell would stop at nothing from trying to get retribution for whoever killed his son, Marco, and promptly turned around and said that he would help Pascal flee the country, only if he turned on Sidwell.
An absolutely terrified Pascal had evidence for Sonny that he could use against Sidwell. However, he feared he would get killed on sight if he tried to retrieve the incriminating photos of Sonny and Laura from the safe at Wyndemere. So instead, Pascal gave the combination to the safe to Lucas (Van Hansis), so he could get the blackmail photos himself. But, did Pascal just set up Lucas to be killed since he loathes him for being the man to win the heart of the late Marco?
In the end, Sonny had one of his henchmen drag Pascal away and whisked off to an airfield to fly away to parts unknown, and hopefully never to be heard from again. But what now? Is Lucas going to end up being pegged as Marco’s killer and taken down by Sidwell if he gets his hands on the incriminating photos for Sonny and Laura? Stay tuned.
So, what did you think of Marc Forget’s run as Pascal? Sad or happy to see the character go? Do you think he will be back down the line? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
In one of the more far-fetched soap opera moments in recent memory, while Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) are chatting at the Quartermaine boathouse in swimming trunks for him and a bikini for her, the two exes have a heart to heart on Wednesday’s June 3 episode of General Hospital.
The moment was set-up by Michael (Rory Gibson) and Jacinda (Paige Herschell) who want to find a way to push the exes together in order to get incriminating evidence of the two, so Michael can gain leverage over Willow for full custody of their children. once and for all. Jacinda notes how Chase definitely has a savior and white knight syndrome going on.
During Willow and Chase’s chat at the boathouse, the subject turns to how Chase was demoted at the PCPD in his efforts to help get Willow acquitted of attempted murder charges at her trial for the shooting of Drew. He has since gone from detective to patrolman. However, Willow comes up with an idea! Why doesn’t he come to work for her as her chief of staff. Willow feels he would be perfect, because he is only one of the only people she can trust.

WILLOW LAYS OUT THE BENEFITS OF CHASE ACCEPTING HER JOB OFFER
A surprised Chase, says he isn’t qualified, but Willow thinks otherwise. She urges him to consider the position she is offering, because it would give him a more regular schedule that would be befitting for him being a new father to baby Phoebe.
Chase’s want to know why it was so important to Willow that he take the job, she continues to explain how she trusts him, but Tracy (Jane Elliot) spots the two in a close moment and hides behind the boathouse. Willow exits, but asks Chase to promise he will think over her offer.
Next, Tracy threatens Chase that this is the last time he will cheat on her granddaughter, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton). Knowing he didn’t “cheat” on his wife, Chase looks pissed off.
So, can you imagine, Chase as Willow’s Chief of Staff? Weigh-in if you think he will be stupid enough to take this job knowing the issues it would cause for Brook Lynn? Will the police officer ever get the clue that Willow is manipulating him like she does to everyone else? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
