General Hospital
Is a Nathan West Twin, Cesar Faison’s Fourth Child on ‘General Hospital?’
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.
If you are going to fire someone leave it writers make decisions every day live with them . A twin again ugh
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…

Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
