GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ryan Paevey’s ‘Nathan West’ is Revealed to be Cassius Faison

For months, since Ryan Paevey’s return to General Hospital as Nathan West something was just not adding up. Paevey returned to his supposed role back in September of 2025. The actor’s decision to make a comeback after 7 years came with the promise of a “meaty storyline,” as he told Deadline.

It finally looks like we are about to get that storyline, after the airing of today’s March 31 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In a scene with Carlo Rota as Jen Sidwell, Nathan has been summoned to Wyndemere where he first offered his condolensces to Sidwell on the death of his son, Marco.

He then instructed Nathan to make sure that Sonny Corinthos paid by any means necessary as retribution for Marco’s death. When Nathan replied that he wasn’t sure that was something he would do, Sidwell shut the door to his study. That’s when it was revealed who Nathan really is.

Sidwell threatened, “Well, that is not something that Detective Nathan West would do. But I’m not talking to Nathan West right now. I’m talking to Cassius Faison.” And boom, Paevey has been portraying what would appear to be Nathan’s never-heard-of-before twin, Cassius this entire time!

There have been several clues that Cassius was not really Nathan. First, he quickly let Maxie (Kirsten Storms) go back to Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and did not fight their marriage, he entered into a romance with her best friend Lulu (Alexa Havins), was terrible at hitting a baseball (where Nathan wasn’t), bungled an investigation at the PCPD by breaking the chain of evidence that caught the eye of Dante. All this, plus Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) attitude toward her brother from the very first time she saw him after he supposedly after he crashed back into Port Charles and landed in the hospital.

Then, on the March 19 episode, Britt made a comment to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) about how all that was left of her father, Faison, was “his brain in a jar, four kids, and my Huntington’s.” We knew there was Peter (Wes Ramsey), Britt, and Nathan, but who was the fourth? Well, here is the fourth!

So, what did you think of the reveal? Happy to know Ryan Paevey is playing Cassius Faison and not Nathan West? Where is Nathan West’s body if its not in his casket? What do. you think will happen next? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Bingo. I knew he was a devil in disguise. I never knew the Nathan West character. I wasn’t watching GH during his run. But, there was just something fishy about this guy. I think he’s developing genuine feels for Lulu, her family and other people in Port Charles. Hopefully, he will be able to resist doing Sidwell’s bidding.

This show just keeps giving and giving! So many plot twists….it’s been an extraordinary show the past week or so, and there seems to be no lull in the action! If every soap were as good as GH, it would be heaven! The only twist I didn’t see coming was that Sidwell is involved.

“Cassius Faison”??

Is he going to convert tio Islam soon and change his name to “Muhammad Ali Faison”??

Sorry, if this is another brain-mapped twin popping up out of nowhere, with no rational explanation, that’s got to be the laziest steaming pile of dragonshit writing ever.

On the othet horn, look at your calendar. Any chance this is just a joke these writers are setting up for tommorrow’s episode?

Or is ReRon the only writer who bothered with that sort of thing?

This is where you admit you were wrong as you stated with certainty over and over that he was the real Nathan West.

Well the name I dislike and I sure hope he doesn’t turn evil as it’s always the same I hope it’s a good plot !

So Nathan had a Twin brother he never met but that Britt knew about, I need more backstory on this but this is obviously part of Faison’s final project, and for Lulu and Cassius I’m just wondering if they could make him bisexual and put him with Lucas, that way he doesn’t go back to brad, and Dante and Lulu could get back together.

Britt likely learned about him at the 5 poppies. As for him being bi – I’m 100% for that. Cassius’ nickname is Cash (hopefully as “Cash” is a great soap name. Cassius, not so much). LuCash. Though LuCash works for Lulu & Cash and Lucas & Cash. Cousins fighting over the same man. I dig it!

Straight Outa… oh wait, that was LoCash. Never mind.

This is actually better than him some sort of sci fi vessel for Faison’s brain…

This was not the surprise the writers probably thought it was going to come across as; the writing was on the wall from day one, which is not what good writing actually is.

I feel so bad for James. That poor kid. He was pretty ok without a dad he never knew. Now he will have really lost Nathan. That is messed up. Oh and Liesl. She is gonna lose it.

I thought Nathan was Victor Cassadine son. Lisel lied to prorect him from the Cassadines.

That was indeed the original story. And then one day they just up and changed his daddy to Faison. And if a Devil remembers correctly, Faison didn’t even know Nathan was his son when he shot him twice in the chest.

So this makes it all the more ridiculous that not only would Nathan have an identical twin, but that this twin would have been raised by Faison – who knew nothing about Nathan, and had pretty much abandoned the one kid that he knew about, Whiny Heiny (not that I can blame Cesar for that, really)

Not to mention that this so-called twin not only has Nathan’s fingerprints, but also the scars from the bullet holes in his chest. Or does the current writers ignorance of GH history now extend to even the history THEY wrote themselves, just a few months ago?

Naxie fans got screwed over by Gh. Lulu can have Cassius.

Naxie? Oh please spare me with these idiotic couple names.

Sonny screams at Justine, “Someone is setting me up.” She says, “It’s over!” He proclaims, “I didn’t do it!” Little do they know that it was actually Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) who set Sonny up to take the fall for the Pentonville drama that left Curtis  (Donnell Turner) with injuries as well.

Then, Lulu (Alexa Havins) is seen using her voice memo app on her phone to record her discussion with Sidwell while he is recovering from his injuries at the hospital. This moment is intercut with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) saying, “I wish there was someone who could get Chase (Josh Swickard) to open his eyes about who Willow truly is!”

Next, Willow is seen happily waving while at a table at a Metro Court Gardens, while Chase, Michael (Rory Gibson), Brook Lynn and Ava (Maura West) all receive text messages. Tracy (Jane Elliot) punctuates the promo stating, “That’s the real Willow,” while the words “The world knows” comes across the screen.

Kayden Brenna Tokarksu

Kayden Brenna Tokarski took over the role of General Hospital’s Scout Cain from her predecessor Cosette Abinante on the July 20th episode of the ABC soap opera, when they decided to age-up Scout.  Abinante has played the part since 2022.

Now, as the story has been unfolding, viewers are witnessing Scout’s journey and burgeoning teenage romance with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and the conflict she’s caught in the middle of between her brother, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and her father, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).

Since Tokarski has arrived on the scene, Scout has shed many tears and been in the middle of some heavy emotional beats. On Sunday, October 4, Kayden Brenna Tokarksi took to her X account and dropped a video message to all General Hospital fans.

During her message, Kayden addressed how General Hospital has been handed down generations within her family and how she had watched the soap before having the incredible moment of actually becoming a cast member, plus fans positive and negative comments since her debut.

Here’s what Kayden expressed, “I just wanted to come on here and show my gratitude for General Hospital. It’s been the largest dream come true. Seriously, I’m pinching myself. Every single day I get to come to work, and work with the incredible cast and crew. My mom grew up watching with her mom and I watched with her. So it’s very full circle. It’s insane that this is my life. I wanted to give a huge shout out to Cosette who played Scout prior. Thank you for building such a beautiful foundation, and really large shoes to fill, but just such a phenomenal, brilliant actress and young woman, and I just wish you all the best.”

As Scout has grown in front of our eyes, Tokarski shared, “Thank you to everyone for your grace, welcome, and support as Scout is transitioning into a teenager and more. I have never been on a soap opera before, so as I’m navigating this new world, thank you. Thank you for all of the positivity and also negativity, because I don’t look at it as negativity. I look at it as a way to learn and grow and evolve because right now.”

Being on a soap opera is always a work in progress, for any actor who has never fully performed in the medium, it is like no other, with the pace and how it required the actors to make things work often without much rehearsal time. Kayden added,  “I’m at a stage where I’m figuring out what works for me and what doesn’t. And if we take it too far, we’ll pull back. Don’t worry. Thanks for being in the ride with me, I hope you stick it out and keep watching General Hospital.”

Now let us know, have you been enjoying Kayden’s performance as the teenaged Scout? Do you appreciate her addressing her love of the show, plus how she hopes to continue evolve in the role? Drop a comment in the thread below.

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali on a Potential Kai/Trina/Gio/Emma Quadrangle, ‘I Don’t Think That’s Impossible, But That Would Be Messy’

Published

Kai, Trina, Gio, Emma

On recent episodes of General Hospital, music executive Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) has been pushing and demanding that Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) play up a faux relationship when they are onstage, or in front of the camera, to add to their allure as new recording artists to his label.

Simon knows full well that Gio is dating Emma (Braedyn Bruner), and Trina is with Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). It was apparent from the start, that Kai seemed a bit more comfortable with the “arrangement” understanding this was for business, and not pleasure, while Emma initially didn’t like the idea.

Now with Trina’s stalker story in full gear, and as fans eventually find out who is completely obsessed with the budding young singer, while initially seeming to be Simon that would seem to be too easy of a choice. But is GH toying with the idea that somehow Gio and Trina get stuck in a situation and one thing leads to another and they develop feelings one another, too?

SIMON’S MANUEVERS

In addition, after Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) beatdown at Pentonville, where everyone is accusing Sonny (Maurice Benard) of ordering the deed, will this find Gio and Trina on the same side, believing it’s Sonny, or will Gio end up sticking by his grandfather when by week’s end he was also questioning if he was telling the truth?

During a new conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali shared her thoughts that if Gio and Trina were pushed closer together, what that would mean for their relationships with Emma and Kai, respectively.

MUSICAL CHAIRS?

Pondering the soap staple, Tabyana exclaimed, “Oh, my goodness. Who knows? I mean, quite honestly, I don’t think it’s it’s impossible, but, oh, wow! That would be messy!” Ali added that its something that could be quite intriguing to play. “There’s a part of me that wants it to happen just to see, how does it play out? Right? Then, there’s another part of me that’s like, “You can’t do that to Emma and Kai.” That’s so wrong,” believed Ali.

However, Tabyana did admit a complicated love story wasn’t far from her mind. “Originally, I wanted something like a quadrangle.  I really wanted that to happen. And if this is a moment where it could happen, I think that would be fun too.”

When asked to tease what’s coming up for Trina in the next several weeks, she offered up three words. Things for her will “(get) Suspicious, (be ) spontaneous, (and) very dangerous.”

So, do you think the GH writing team is teeing up a situation where Trina and Gio become more than friends and musical artists together? Would you be down for it, or be against it? do you like Emma with Gio and Kai with Trina? Share your thoughts via the comment section, nd in case you missed it, check our chat with Tabyana below.
