Are ‘General Hospital’s’ Lucas and Marco Doomed as a Couple? Van Hansis Weighs-In!

On General Hospital, Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) is being impulsive with his decision to move into Wyndemere with his boyfriend, Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo). Why anyone would want to move into the creepy house on Spoon Island is a mystery to most anyone.  However, Lucas stood firm with his sister, Carly (Laura Wright), that he knows what he’s doing and he wants to make a go of things with the young lawyer in a defiant move.

In the past, Lucas has been protective of his heart and getting involved with anyone since his debacle of a relationship with Brad Cooper (Parry Shen). Now as he moves full steam ahead, it couldn’t be happening at a more dramatic time, since Marco’s father, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) just shot and killed Professor Dalton (Daniel Goddard) in front of Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at Wyndemere, and Pascal (Marc Forget) is now in Port Charles too.

The question is, viewers know Marco is working with his father to bring down Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), but is Marco true blue where Lucas is concerned, or just using him? In a new conversation with Soap Opera Digest, Van Hansis shared his thoughts on his Port Charles alter-ego’s latest predicament.

“I have no idea what is actually going on – I mean, I do know that Marco is more aligned with Sidwell than Lucas thinks he is,” expressed Hansis. “But the thing with Marco is, I don’t know if Marco’s using Lucas or if Marco might not be the best person, but he genuinely does have feelings for Lucas. I think it could go either way!”

As to how he hopes the love story plays itself out, Hansis added, “I think it’s more interesting if he’s doing some shady things, but also is in love with Lucas. I think holding those two things together is kind of interesting. I’m on the ride with everybody else, and I have no idea where it’s all going — but I think something big is going to happen.”

Putting Dr. Lucas Jones at Wyndemere, can only lead to A) him getting involved in Cesar Faison’s last project B) Saving someone’s life C) Realizing he is in hot water and his house of cards comes tumbling down and he is put in a life or death situation for his own life.  Hansis talked on Lucas’ state of mind at the moment, “It’s really fun to play Lucas having his horse blinders on and kind of willingly putting himself in a very dangerous situation, maybe without realizing how dangerous it actually is.”

Having no concept of what just went down at Wyndemere with the shooting of Professor Dalton, Lucas is none that wiser, Van joked that Lucas, “Thinks he’s living in the Love Island mansion and that everything is great.”

In case you missed it, you can check out the Michael Fairman Channel’s conversations with Van Hansis and Adrian Anchondo from earlier this year below.

Now let us know, is this going to be the beginning of the end for Lucas and Marco’s relationship? Are you hoping Lucas dumps Marco fast, or are you rooting for them to someone come out of Wyndemere unscathed and in love? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.

Would love to hear if there’s a reason other than his character not being around long-term, for Adrian not to be included in the recent photo shoot (opening credit update).

So much potential at first, but I’m guessing Marco falls victim to his father’s schemes.

Something will happen to Lucas that will make Marco think better of what he’s doing. Love conquers all!

Or Carly and Ava will kill him, if something happens to Lucas.

I think Marco genuinely cares for Lucas and wants to build a lasting relationship. However, Marco is too involved with Sidwell and that may be his downfall. I just hope that Lucas will be okay in the long run and pray that Brad is not anywhere in his future.

How I wish this pairing would end. Marco is so dull. Even bringing him further into the mob story hasn’t helped. He is B-O-R-I-N-G. I can forgive a lot in a character, but not blandness.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)?

These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

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

Published

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.
