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 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.
