Fans of ABC’s General Hospital have taken to social media since the airing of yesterday’s March 19th episode where Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) made a remark about her presumed late father Cedar Faison (Anders Hove) having four children.

The moment went down when Britt was preparing to secretly leave town with Jason, but while packing, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) showed up through the fire escape window, no less, inquiring to Britt about Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and his connection, if any, to her father.

In the line of dialogue, Britt in referencing Faison said, “The only thing left of him is his brain in a jar, four kids, and my Huntington’s.” When Britt said “four kids” it immediately piqued GH fans inquiring minds.

What we do know from GH history is Faison had three children: Britt, Nathan and Peter August (Wes Ramsey). Britt and Nathan’s mother is Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), while the late Peter’s was Alex Devane’s (Finola Hughes) child.

Dropping that nugget had to be intentional, and the most likely outcome of the fourth child, has many people saying the man on their screens played by Ryan Paevey is a Nathan West twin, not the real Nathan.

As viewers also saw on the episode, Nathan acted strange around Cullum when he showed up at Lulu’s questioning her about her daughter Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). There is also the issue of the missing 7 years of Nathan’s life, and the moment when his car crashed coming back into Port Charles, and Britt giving the guy a troubled look when she first laid eyes on him at GH and feeling uneasy when her brother laid eyes for the first time on James (Gary James Fuller).

Couple that, with how easily he walked away from the love of Nathan’s life, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms, and is now involved with her best friend, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins), plus his breaking the change of evidence during the investigation into the shooting of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and more, it seems most likely that Nathan has a secret twin moving about Port Charles.

The question is, if that’s true, why has Britt kept it quiet if she knows? Perhaps, because twin Nathan is in cahoots with Cullum and she knows it, and has been keeping a low profile about it not to endanger herself or Jason even more? The plot thickens.

So, do you think there is a Nathan twin? Is he Cesar Faison’s fourth child, that no one has heard even existed before? If not, who do you think is the fourth child of Faison is? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

I’ve suspected the twin thing for a while. Regardless, it’s time to move this story along. That NOBODY seems to care where Nathan disappeared to for over 7 years is really ridiculous. Felicia and Spinelli should use their (questionable) PI skills and at least TRY to figure it out.

Not invested into Nathan and Lulu until the real details come out. Gets me that one of the smartest characters – Liesl – hasn’t had more questions or used her contacts to find out more about her once dead children.

Have to agree with you OG Steve. When a dead man suddenly shows up alive after 7 years, somebody should be asking questions. I would definitely thing the police department would want to know for certain what happened to him and where he’s been for 7 years. I wouldn’t just hand him a badge and gun and say, “Now you’re a Police Officer again.”

Adding to that, Nathan suddenly can’t play baseball?

Because, or at least I believe, that Liesl is involved through the WSB.

Right, I mean even Nathan doesn’t seem to care about he’s been for the last 7 years. And I can’t tell if he is acting weird as part of his character development or if he’s just a bad actor.

Twins have the same DNA, but they would not have the same fingerprints, or the same scars on the chest where they got shot by dear old brainless Dad.

Nathan is Nathan. Not a twin. Not a clone. Not an alien lizard in a human mortal skin suit.

Now that said, they obviously need to explain where in Hell’s name he was for 7 years, and why he can’t remember any of it.

As to Britt’s comments about Faison having “four kids”?? Hell only knows. Could have been writer error. Could have been Kelly messing up her lines. Or Cullum could actually be Faison’s son, but if he is, neither Britt or Nathan seem to know that’s the case, so Britt wouldn’t be counting him as one of the supposed “four”.

Or who knows? Maybe they’ll retcon Ethan’s parentage again? It never made sense that Luke was his father, so they make him Faison’s kid. Yeah, it’s a long shot, and it would be pointless changing fathers when they’re both dead. But it’s more likely than a Nathan “twin”.

Many people commented that “Nathan” didn’t have the scar on his chest from the bullet hole his father inflicted during his shirtless scenes with Lulu. But he did have it when he was in hospital after the car accident.

I think that GH made the mistake with the continuity of the bullet hole, or hoped the viewers would forget.

The mention of 4 children was definitely not a mistake and deliberately opening up the twin speculation.

Identical twins do not have the same fingerprints and Anna fingerprinted him when he was in hospital and it was a match, or perhaps the records were changed…wouldn’t be the first time…this is a soap opera after all.

I prefer the reprogramming scenario, like what was done with Dante and Jason and that eventually Nathan will snap out of it.

Why bring Ethan back now? There has to be a connection, because as you said, Luke is dead and Holly off-canvas.

Ethan is coming back on the show and I betcha he’s the 4th. Child of Faison Cassadine

I doubt they’d retcon Ethan’s parentage from Luke Spencer to Faison (whose last name is not Cassadine). The only likely retcon would be to make him Robert’s son, which was hinted at in the character’s origins.

Is Nathan Nathan or his twin?, who knows, I want to believe it’s his twin, and that the real Nathan wouldn’t have just moved on after Maxie came back from her induce coma, but if he is the real Nathan, where the heck was he for seven years? was he somewhere in his own “coma”, maybe the same one Nina was in for 20years (she hold the record) so Nathan would be 7years, Lulu 4years and Maxie only 6months, and wasn’t Laura also in a coma or something close to that? what’s in the freaking water in NY/Port Charles ? I’m not invested in a Nathan/Lulu pairing nor a Maxie/Nathan one but the latter was sold to viewers a super couple, and I was just turned of by Lulu and Nathan sleeping together after just one official date, but I guess if both were in comas for years then they were really super horny. still turned of though.

I’m sick of twins on GH, they have no original ideas

Was my first thought when Britt said 4 children. And since Alex is an identical twin it’s more than likely Nathan was too

What I thought strange is when Nathan came back, but didn’t act like he ever loved Maxie. Even with amnesia, feelings don’t go away

Well, since Alex is a twin, and twins are more likely in families that already have them, then the odds would be slightly better that Heiny has a secret twin brother and not Nathan.

But nobody wants to see that, for Hell’s sake! It’s bad enough we have to put up with him on Days in recent weeks!

Well let the story play out till the end I been waiting for this to continue for along time. He could have a twin he mite not. He memory could have been taken from him. He could be someone else wearing Nathan face.. there father was a very Good mad scientist.. even if u like him or not.. He the best villain ever to walk GH stage… Whatever his final project is I’m been waiting to find out . It could be Peter in that face or fasion himself in that mask.. maybe he not dead after all… If there are four child of his . Than I guess we will soon find out where this one been all these years if he older or younger then the others. If there are twins then why wouldn’t liesl say anything? I’m sure she new she was in love with him he has been to much in love with anna. That where the twin would be because twins run in anna family her an alex are twins so Peter could have a twin. That no one knows about. I’m not sure if madline Reves nina mom was involved with them or not nina had twins. Can’t wait to see how they finally end it or keep it going…

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!”

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.

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.
