General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who is “C?”; Tracy Breaks Down Over Monica’s Death
On the Monday, September 22nd episode of General Hospital, the mystery deepened, not only with the arrival of an injured Nathan West (Ryan Paevey), apparently back-from-the-dead, but a puzzling and ominous gift received by Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), as Anna (Finola Hughes) tries to put two and two together that seemingly both siblings Britt and Nathan are alive!
After Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), Anna (Finola Hughes), Lucas (Van Hansis) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) are shocked that the injured man from a car crash at GH looks just like Nathan West, Anna had his fingerprints run in the PCPD database and they came back as a match! Anna is not so sure this is all as it seems, especially since Britt and Nathan are the children of Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and her arch-nemesis, Cesar Faison.
Meanwhile, after a verbal fight with Lulu (Alexa Havins), over Ben/Rocco, (Finn Carr), Britt reopens the gift box to find several vials and a note that reads: “Don’t Forget to Take Your Medicine.” It’s signed simply by the letter “C”. Is “C” actually Cesar Faison? Is the medication to help with Britt’s Huntington’s disease remission, or is something else going on?

As Port Charles continues to learn of the passing of Monica Quartermaine, Tracy (Jane Elliot) has yet to let it all out, over the death of someone she loved very much. The woman who her late brother, Alan, cared more about than anyone, too.
Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) shows up at the “Q’s” unaware that Monica has passed, and is insistent on talking to Tracy about Deception. Finally, Tracy tells Lucy about Monica, and GH does a great job in the writing of the scene, harkening back to how Lucy stole Alan from Monica, and wore red at the wedding, just like she is now. Lucy is quick to point out that Tracy wore black to the nuptials. The two exchange some tense moments about the past, before finally getting emotional until they finally share a drink and toast to Monica.

After Lucy leaves, Tracy, who has been doing her best to be stoic, crumbles on the staircase that goes up to Monica’s room and cries as the episode comes to its conclusion.
So, who do you think is “C”? Do you think it’s truly Nathan West who is at ‘General Hospital’ recovering from a car accident that seems to maybe have been fabricated to get him into the hospital? What did you think of Tracy crumbling on the Q staircase in grief over Monica? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first, take a look below at what went down after the PCPD saw Nathan seemingly alive at GH, but ‘seemingly’ injured!
The literally brainless Cesar Faison is still sitting on his couch, here in Hell, watching FAUX Noize and reality TV all day long. He’s barely capable of operating the TV’s remote control at this point. He’s not about to escape from Hell again. Though he did that a couple of times in the past – when he actually had a brain!
I don’t think it’s Cesar Faison or Cyrus Renault. My theory is that it’s either a Cassadine, or the person everyone thinks is “Nathan” is really his twin, perhaps Cesar Jr.?
Identical twins share DNA, but they do not share fingerprints. So even if Nathan had a secret twin brother, his prints would not match Nathan’s.
Back when Billy Miller’s Drew thought he was Jason, there was some sort of “glitch” in checking his fingerprints (forget the specifics of how or why, but it was probably Helena Cassadine’s doing) but his DNA matched Jason’s, and nobody had any reason to believe Jason had a twin brother, so the lack of fingerprints wasn’t an issue.
Until the real Jason showed up in 2017, of course.
Also, Nathan having a twin would be even more problematic than Jason having one. When Jason was born, you only had Alan, Susan, and her crazy cousin Heather in the loop. So if they write a backstory decades later where Susan hands off a second baby to Heather to have her pass off to her weirdo friend Betsy whatever her name was, and by the time any of this comes out, both Susan & Alan are dead, that’s a really small loop of people who would know the story.
However with Nathan, you have his real mother Dr Ooblech. His father Faison. He was raised by Nina’s mother and grew up with Nina as a significantly older sister (at least until her 20 year stint as a vegetable) and apparently Victor Cassadine was around often enough for Liesl to claim he was Nathan’s father at some point.
And none of those people would have known Nathan had a twin? Nope, that’s even more of a stretch than somebody taking Faison’s brain out of a jar of Formaldehyde and putting it back in his head so he could escape from Hell.
(that didn’t happen either, of course)
And Brit has to take her meds. She was in the lab getting her 6 million dollar parts. Now she’s bionic so she has to take drugs her entire life, or her body will reject all the parts.
Cyrus, his abrupt end a few months ago could not be the last of a great character and great actor.
Another day, another outstanding performance from Jane. And, yes, the writers played it right with the Tracy-Lucy interaction.
Hoping all the talk of Alan on Monday’s episode doesn’t preclude flashback scenes with Stuart Damon later in the week.
As for who is C:
Cesar Jr. as some mention is a possibility.
Otherwise:
Dead characters…
Cyrus Renault – if he’s not dead-dead, the WSB has him somewhere
Cesar Faison. Three family members would be extreme – even for a show that featured an alien.
Cassandra Pierce. She’s more in Valentin’s orbit than the Faison clan.
Connie Falconeri. Just for giggles.
“Living”…
Curtis – too preoccupied
Chase – too nice
Charlotte – too young
Cody – too dumb
Cameron – too off the canvas
Which leads us to… Carly. She has to be the center! Okay, I’ve had my fun.
The interaction between Tracy and Lucy was brilliantly written and brilliantly executed by two acting masters. Tracy breaking down on the stairs was so incredibly touching.
To TPTB: Please, don’t let “C” be Faison again. Maybe it’s the Cassadine guy that’s in prison. The one that Brennan wants a favor from.
Casey the Alien!
OMG – perfect!

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.
Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.
In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?
On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.
In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”
The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.” Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.
So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
