General Hospital
Who Is Oscar’s Father On General Hospital?
Courtesy/ABC
Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) boyfriend, Oscar is a bit of mystery, and as all things are in Port Charles lives are often interconnected when you least expect it.
In story, Oscar played by Garren Stitt, has no idea who his bio-dad is. Begging the question, who on the canvas is most likely to turn out to be the teenager’s father?
Many have speculated that the dad has to have ties to the mob, but it could be someone else on the canvas who works in the medical profession, law, or otherwise.
Make sure to watch Thursday’s GH, as Josslyn presses Oscar to investigate his past by imploring, “Wouldn’t you like to know who your father is?”
So, post your theories in the comment section below. Who do you think could turn out to be Oscar’s dad?
204
It could be Finn. He so desperately wants a child.
Honestly, who cares? Invest in the stories you have and stop creating endless new stories that never get resolved.
I know, right, David? But, like it or not, this will, indubitably, involve Sonny, one way or another.
Another out-of-the-woodwork, illegitimate son? Grandson? The sperm king strikes again?
I’m with you. WHO CARES!
Agreed.
I THINK SO TOO…HOPE IT WONT TURN OUT TO BE MORE MOB STORY LINE…
Probably. Michael Easton had good chemistry with the kid who played Rafe and it was kind of dumb that they killed him off.. .perhaps this is a way to rectify that. Or if could give James DePaiva’s character an anchor to the show. Please don’t be Sonny’s!! 🙂
Yes, Jacob. I like that, too….DePaiva ( I keep forgetting the doc’s name) could be the father.
This kid just appeared out of the blue.
TPTB could be introducing younger characters; teens. Not much of a storyline if it does not involve teen stories. The same is going on with Y&R. These teens are introduced, “storyless”, where all the drama is about the adults, using the teens as a vessel.
We adults are not interested and the teen viewer, if any watches, will find it lame, in my opinion.
Good guess, Francesca!
Grazie, Alberto.
I think it is Seth Meyer making Oscar, Oscar Meyer.
Hmmmm……that’s a good assumption, Francesca; it would give both Finn and Oscar a familial tie.
Ooooh, CeeCeeGirl!…That was a most excellent description regarding Sonny’s willy-nilly—yet albeit prolific—-sperm-casting activities across Port Charles, the continental USA and general globe-at-large! Couldn’t imagine a better way of calling a spade a spade! Kudos, mia amica! As for the actual man who sired junior gent, “Oscar Nero”–or whatever his real birthname happens to be?-It would seem the truth of that matter shall will out very soon. Whilst I would love a jaw-dropping denouement to that particularly perplexing puzzle, I guess we shall simply have to breathe a sigh of relief and thank our lucky stars if Sonny is not revealed… Read more »
Always welcome, CeeCee! Yes, the Oscar and Joss sweet-teen romance is a lovely little departure from all of the dark muck and mire of the current GH. (And the never-ending random assignations that have no real heart and soul whatsoever…) These sort of couplings used to be a soap staple and I miss them, along with the formerly-plentiful array of gorgeous, young romantic heartthrobs which once populated daytime! Not much to write home about these days! Having said that, I certainly hope that the forthcoming revelations regarding Oscar’s bio-daddy don’t split up this adorable junior twosome!
Or Silas Clay….Caleb….John McBain??? The possibilities are nearly endless when one considers Michael Easton’s many alter-egos whose characters have graced Post Charles in the past!
Thanks, Shaybelle. Likewise.
Yeah…let’s hope he is no relation to Sonny.
Oscar may have simply been introduced as a little teen-love for Joss. So cute!! Brings back memories, does it not, Shay?
I eat your words up, Shay, LOL. You always make sense to me—never bruising that sense or sendibility. I consider Joss as a beatiful budding rose, and albeit I find this young, blooming love refreshing, Oscar is not the cutest boy in 9th grade. Yeah, I know …sono io–shallow and superficial. Regardless of their looks, I guess it won’t be long before these kids are both sorased. Too bad…I really reject the idea of aging Joss. I really like her. Oscar? Not so much. Not doing it for me. I’d like to see a good kid, yes….but one who can… Read more »
Oh, yes, Francesca….Brenda is certainly a viable candidate as Oscar’s mother…particularly since she is known as having moved to Italy some years ago. (Yet, does that make her too obvious of a choice?) Of course, Nik also resided there for a time in a (Tuscan?) castle of which he had previously alluded. Both of these characters’ known past details could fit perfectly into the scenario of one or both being Oscar’s parents. Then again, we have such a full gallery of European dwelling former GH characters that specifically focusing upon these two could simply be wishful notions, as are most… Read more »
You are right, of course, Shay…..”Much Ado About Nothing”. Oscar, more likely than not, is who he says he is, without heavy, innocuous baggage.
Just one thing; Sonny does not procreate….he propagates. Here, there snd everywhere.
A cornucopia, not of flowers, but of every specie of weeds.
It’s going to be Andrew, “Billy Miller”, Jason’s brother who used to look like Jason.
I think it could be Drew.
Of course, Linda. I like that, as well. Drew disappeared…has a new face…no memories….unrecognizable by his ‘son’, Oscar. Sounds good to me.
He does look like Finn, but he also looks like priest dr monroe?
I think we all can agree that Sonny has enough prodigy on the canvas, so not him. Probably not either of the Jasons. Z. Julian and Scott also have their share of long lost offspring. So that leaves: Finn – but remember the last time they gave ME a long-lost relative. The Silas/Rafe relationship was snooze-worthy. Valentin – but isn’t already in too many storylines already. Griffin – that would really shoot the priest angle, plus now Deafd Duke would have a never met grandson Ned – interesting, but they won’t write that much story for him. Curtis – we… Read more »
I don’t find any of Sonny’s offspring as prodigies. One of the reasons Morgan is dubbed “moron”. Then, there’s Kristina—no smarts there, either. Dante? How did he get that badge? Avery is a baby…will she be a prodigy? Maybe.
I do believe that therevmay be a few more of Sonny’s progeny spread around of whom we know nothing…..yet.
God help us, CeeCee, but I believe that you are most likely correct that Sonny’s procreation streak has not yet reached completion. Still, I’m hoping Oscar won’t turn out to be one of his unfortunate, intellect-challenged offspring….it’s become such a cliche’ to be an illegitimate “Corinthos Kid” in Port Charles!
I think Steve meant to say “progeny,” not “prodigy.” Because like Celia said, none of the Corinthos next generation seems to be packing too many brain cells!
Oh, CeeCee…When it comes to unraveling the puzzle of young Oscar’s parentage, how I wish the writers were purposely being too clever by half in tossing out all these tantalizingly brilliant, hidden little clues (and even some red herrings) like breadcrumbs for us to gather, savor and ultimately, analyze (ala Agatha Christie…) However, I suspect we are just prone to seriously overthinking things and searching for underlying meanings where none actually exists, as has happened so many times before with GH storylines that often ended either nowhere or in a highly unsatisfying manner. Most likely, the key to Oscar’s biological… Read more »
LOL, Shay….my middle name is ‘looking for problems that aren’t there”. PC and its environs must be chock-full with dimpled, swarthy “products” of that extraordinary paradigm, Suave, Saint Sonny. Mayhap, the world!!
He’s “like thunder….lightening….can’t lose a good thing…, knock on wood”. Ha.
Considering Sonny has sewn his seed internationally, would it be that much of a stretch to assume Oscar Black is his?
Footnote: Shaybelle….I think his name is really ‘Black’ and is using ( prodded by whomever his mother is ) the Italian translation as an alias. And, yes, the name may be directly linked to that crazy Claudian dynasty. HaHa.
I do believe you are right about that one, CeeCeeGirl! Might as well re-dub the town “Port Corinthos” in dubious honor of Sonny and his plentiful supply of progeny! Whilst this “Priapic Don’s” prodigious tendency to procreate would also make Oscar a prime candidate to join his “unlucky sperm club,” I am hoping that for the sake of that poor lad such is not the case…better his paterfamilia really is a Nero …or at least, a basic Black! I say anybody besides Slick Sonny would provide a more palatable choice of lineage for young Oscar….even one improbably linked to an… Read more »
I waiting to find out he is Valentin’s son. More tough times froths Cassadines!
For the love of God, please no more illegitimate issues for Sonny…enough is enough! To make Oscar’s pairing with Joss a true Romeo and Juliet storyline, his father needs to be someone who has a negative past history of being at odds with the Corinthos clan, so that would primarily mean Alcazars or Zaccaras, both tempting possibilities! The suggestion that the Wu family could be part of Oscar’s bloodline would also be a most interesting development, since I agree with the poster who says this kid has a vaguely Asian look about him. As for your other “Baby Daddy Candidates,”… Read more »
I was struggling with myself trying to discern this child’s ethnicity.
I must agree with you. His face does have Asian characteristics and the Wu family tie makes the most sense.
And yet, Francesca, Oscar has an Italian surname which could possibly indicate a European background…perhaps even a royal one? (Not another Cassadine?) I have been wondering if the choice of “Nero” holds some sort of significant clue as to this character’s true identity? It’s probably just a false moniker intended to conceal his real parentage, but it does beg the question of whom is his “Aggripina the Younger?” Hmmm….the plot thickens! (As for this young actor’s physical appearance, Garren actually rather reminds me of the decidedly non-Asian Joseph Gordon-Levitt when he played Tommy Solomon on “Third Rock from the Sun!”… Read more »
Yeah, he could be related to Brad and then we MIGHT get to see him and Lucas? I think its Bensch’s kid. BUT, for Joss to like Oscar, Oscar has to be relted to a mob connection.
Hi #Shay. The ladies in my circle of friends who watch GH believe that Oscar’s Agrippina is Brenda. But I do not recall Brenda as being ruthless. She could have married someone by the surname Nero, who adopted Oscar, but later left. It could also be a lie making Oscar not so innocent. Is he looking for revenge? Some of my friends insist it will be Dante receiving the shock of his life. Why the name Nero. It means black and it could be a symbol of evil. A family trait? Going back to Ancient Rome is brilliant. Nero was… Read more »
Hmmmm….could that possibly mean “Cesare”=”Cesar?” (As in Faison????)The plot thickens….
I don’t know if Francesca is using the name in the literary device sense of play-on-words…….that’s a very clever technique….I love it, especially if it is meant in reference to Faison. However, Giulio Cesare = Julius Caesar ( Anglicized, LOL). So, it could have been an accidental truth?? I wonder if the writers are keen enough to bring Roman symbolism into the equation. Claudius and Agrippina were, indeed, Nero’s parents, and Nero fits the countenance of being Faison’s issue. Great theory that, but is Oscar his real name? I hope he is the product of one of Sonny’s enemies…..except, I’d… Read more »
Dante…and Brenda is his mom!!!
Good one, Jimmy….all these guesses….it could be anyone. LOL.
OMG Jimh ‼️‼️ that’s been my thought from the beginning.
Miss Fanny!!!! There you are….ma chere amie! Bien sur, vous m’ avez manque’.
And, a good thought it is, Fanny. Yet, son or grandson, he would still have Sonny’s tainted blood.
Such a nice kid…he should be left ‘pure’.
A bientot, j’espere?
PS….Jimmy, I did say it could be Sonny’s grandson…who knows. I have no clue how many women with whom Sonny has dallied ( or still dallying off screen–LOL) in the past—just with those in the past three years:, which is one too many: Mamma mia and sacrebleu–Hugh Hefner in a Sonny mask?? Too short??
Oh, CeeCeeGirl!!!!…Sonny’s “tainted blood?” LOL! The depth of your derision for this polarizing character is an endless font of hilarity….my compliments! I realize you cannot help yourself from so colorfully composing such comedic commentary…it comes as naturally as breathing! (Much like my expressions of boundless disdain for Alexis! Hey, we all have our bête noirs!)
@CeeCee….Glad you liked the “slampuppy” reference.. I glommed onto that lovely little term via a college friend from the Midwest….thought it was a warm and fuzzy way to describe someone who’s known for something not-so-cute and charming! Don’t you just love regional-speak? By the way, I think my all-time favorite word for a female of “loose morals” came from some childhood pals who hailed from Hingham, Mass…I won’t spell it out, but it’s probably not unfamiliar to you and yours given your own geographical specifics….Hint: Nine letters….Begins with a “p” and ends with an “e”…..and is an integral part of… Read more »
Hey, CeeCeeGirl….I gather your “risqué reply” that failed to pass the moderator’s muster was in reference to the above “slampuppy” post? Well, yes, I can certainly understand why….which is the reason I was so discreet when I initially described said Massachusetts lingo for a particular sort of gal. But can you at least tell me this: Did you get my drift and is that still a popularly-used term in “Kennedy Country?” Inquiring minds want to know!
Rocco is ok because he’s really young, but do you think Maurice Bernard would agree to play the grandfather of a teenager almost old enough to drive?
As you know, Jimmy, I have a lack of knowledge on most of GH history….So, why does everyone keep mentioning Dante? Was he involved with Brenda, too? I thought she was exclusively Sonny’s?
Holy moly……it’s so ridiculous!! PC residents are as inbred as Vineyarders. The offspring, by medical logic, should all be deficient.
I stopped watching years before Brenda was on but did tune in on occasion…i did not see the episodes but i did read somewhere i think in soap digest that they did have an affair!!!
Thanks, Jimmy.
When did they get together?
I think his father is Dante …..
Yes, Val….everyone’s guess is just as good as anyone else’s, right? All are sound.
@Shay.
Well, Shay…it’s like this…..I did get your drift. But, the word? I had to ask my husband. I made the mistake of elaborating. Ergo, the ‘deadbolt’ on my comment. LOL.
Well, CeeCeeGirl, I figured that even if you were not aware of that old chestnut of a term, your hubby had probably encountered it somewhere during the course of his life in the great state of Massachusetts….like a locker room, perhaps??? LOL. Keep in mind, it is certainly not in my usual arsenal of vocabulary words deployed to describe those femmes who are most prone to assuming the supine position! However, it is one deeply engrained in my memory due to the heady mix of great nostalgia for long ago summers and the immense shock that I still recall from… Read more »
@Shay.
Maura West is a Bostonian, as well….or from the immediate area. Once in a while I catch a very distinct Bostonian intonation…fleetingly, but there.
Massachusetts is known to have a language of its own—your word is not used as often; only one from Massachusetts would know….just as my husband and I are still dubbed “barneys” in Boston slang.
It could be the guy who tried to kill Sonny this last time. But watch it be Jax. It’s happened on soaps before. ‘Erica, no! He’s your brother!’
HaHa…how true, Tom!!
LOL LOL that’s what I’ve been saying Joseline and Oscar maybe brother and sister LOL. But I hope he’s Dante’s
Franco
i think that it is sonny……
The father with the most impact, IMO, would be Lorenzo Alcazar. (He would also be an unexpected and awesome choice for Patient 6 Jason’s captor…Jason did “kill” him.)
yes bring back alcazar
But Valentine is dr. Klein another extension from Elena cassadine. He’s taking over where she left off.
I think james depaiva is behind the patient 6 scenario
I think it will be Dr. Bensch. They look like they could be father and son.
I hope i’m imagining it – he’s kinda giving me the heebie jeebies his direct approach and word play… 1. when he asked Jordan out… that was out of nowhere 2. his “relationship with Kiki. don’t get kinky… I like him too much 3. his asking Alexis out. for the love of god.. please… not with Alexis.. she’s so grandiose and nit picky. playing with her stiletto. this is going to go some where… I just don’t know how. he’s a good actor.. I wonder what he looks like behind those glasses. we haven’t even seen his bedside manner yeah,… Read more »
PS: @ the “ask Man Landers ” reveal partay or whatever it was
what a disappointment Jennifer Bassey “MUST” feel about daytime

” WHO was the HOTTEST ” – Felicia ! YIKES .. my lady is stunning us all
Yes, I like the idea of Alexis dating someone normal. I wonder if she’ll expect the good doctor ( that’s questionable….who is he, really!?) to prance around in his speedos underwear. Won’t compare to Julian’s backside, sigh!
But, there are breathable elephant shaped speedies available. Hmmmm.
Oh, but CeeCee, “Alexis” and “normal” are not compatible concepts….this is a woman who thrives on danger and drama, so she craves only the likes of men who bring both of these negative aspects to her life! That’s what really turns her on…sure, Julian may look like an underwear model, but it’s the lethal aura of criminality that really seals the deal for her each and every time….think Sonny, Shawn, Jerry and Ric! Unrepentant bad boys all….Unless this doctor is not so good—as we seem to suspect—-then his chances at sweeping this character off her famously rounded heels is next… Read more »
Lol….what a picturesque scene you paint, Shay. Shawn? I don’t know who he is. I know Jerry, but had no idea he was one of her ‘boys’. And, Ric, of course, is Molly’s father, yes? I also know she had a thing going with Ned? ….or, was what I saw that fateful night when Julian and Olivia made Leo, a one-night stand? You really think Alexis is destined to sit in a fetid state of felonious limbo forever, when it comes to choosing a man? The good doc gives me the creeps. I may be wrong, but I smell a… Read more »
Bensch is ONE of the only newer characters I am clinging to. I’m sure he will have skeletons BUT for now, I bet he is the one who called the dean and reported Parker. Alexis was happy they got caught and when she finds out Bensch was the caller, she will whip out one of her dresses from the eighties!
OMG, Timmmbo! You had my mouth all agape when I first read that Alexis “will whip out one of her….” Need I expound any further? I mean we are talking about a character well-known for her um, lack of modesty when it comes to displaying certain fulsome physical assets! Thank God you were only talking about vintage apparel! LOL. (Of course, I would expect nothing less, supreme gentleman that you are….)I don’t know though about Dr. Bensch….it seems like there may be a beast lurking behind those nerdy specs….and is it just me, or do I think his interest in… Read more »
Odd, eh, Shay? I don’t see my post. ….glad you got it, though.
So, you agree about Dr. Bensch? As I said a few times, already; he rubs me the wrong way. That’s why I remarked Kiki should watch her back.
He is way over-his-head where Kiki is concerned….too solicitous. He’s a ‘big’ doctor with a ‘big’ name…and, she’s basically an underling.
Unless, ohhh, unless, he’s Silas Clay in disguise?? Maybe he is a vampire, related to Caleb, taking different human forms?
This would explain his fatherly protection. Do vampires love their kin?
I am glad you dispelled my concern for Timmm. LOL.
A dress from the ’80’s? That’s rich, LOL!
Hey there, CeeCee!…..Per your remarks which indeed reached my inbox? (Yay!)–LOL!!!–and I do so hope our dear Timmmy was not traumatized by my cheeky comments about my favorite “whipping post!’ (No pun intended!)….I think he knows us well-enough to realize we are just two (and too…) fun-loving girls who share the same sort of wicked wit and no offense to his personal character would ever be intended….his gallantry is already safely established and well-documented here! At any rate, I’m not so sure the same will be able to be said about Dr. Bensch when all is said and done….there is… Read more »
Yes, CeeCee….There is something about Dr. Bensch that gives me the heebie-jeebies…oh, it’s subtle, but it’s there, all right…..a rather crafty and cunning vibe lurking just below the surface masquerading in a supposedly benign, affable and well-meaning facade! Nope, I simply don’t trust him, either! The question is this MD’s motivation….is he merely a common, garden-variety letch or does he have a far more specific agenda beyond liking the girls young and pretty, as we both apparently suspect? Hard to say at this juncture, yet he most likely has some sinister connection to a previous Port Charles baddie! (But which… Read more »
@Shay.
Yup, Shay….Dr. Bensch ( great display of play-on-words, there….”bensch”-mark…..you do have a way with words, Shaybelle.
Needless to say, we may be seeing something that isn’t there, as with Oscar.
However, my instinct are pretty sharp; and, unless the writers have yet to “assign” the doc to one specific role ( in their heads), which would not surprise me one bit, those instincts are screaming to scrutinize every aspect of this possible, semi-Dr. Frankenstein.
A Cassadine, say you? Hmmmmm…..haven’t they also sown very fertile seeds globally?
Just to clarify, CeeCee, I don’t necessarily think that Dr. Bensch is related by blood to the Cassadine clan….but given his professional background, I’m thinking he could definitely be a past associate…perhaps he was part of Victor’s creepy Crichton-Clark house of bio-medical horrors, or dealt with Helena in reference to her many mad scientific experiments of yore! It would have been a great notion to have him attached to Liesl and her demented Swiss clinic, but since she’s pretty much persona non-grata in Port Charles these days, I doubt her influence will have much of a role in any upcoming… Read more »
Oscar, no excitement going on there.. there is zero build up to anything concerning him. Who his father would be ehh who cores, there is absolutely no drama or anything interesting about it. Stories should have build up and a ”personality” .. these writers can not write good drama .. even the Ava and Steve break out was dull, no drama it had some little action but absolutely no Suspenseful drama. These stories are lackluster fails.. soaps are drama and GH is empty of suspense, intrigue, there’s nothing intense not even a cliffhanger, no on the edge moments, GH is… Read more »
su, let’s say that again in unison: “Lackluster, lackluster . . . “
No luster, su….someone needs to shine them up: oh, shed the light PTB!
Nevertheless, I think SB is bringing it. Watch him pulverize the guy on the ship ( holding a lead pipe, no less, LOL).
Oops…did that happen, already, su? As I said, I subbed yesterday and forgot to set dvr.
Oh, what did Sam and Billy’s Jason say as they entered their house, today? They could have been speaking Chinese ( or Russian)….. for all I know.
Who’s OScar’s mother?
I don’t think she has been introduced yet, Lindsay.
I may have missed that episode. I am not sure.
Well, well, Francesca, it seems that your ladies’ circle may have been on to something when they (and you) posited the character of Brenda as being Oscar’s mother…there are internet rumblings that Vanessa M.is about to make a return appearance in Port Charles, which is suspiciously convenient given this particular storyline. The rumors also suggest that little “Nero” may not have the exotic pedigree many of us dreamed up for him on this thread, but something much “closer to home,” although I sort of hope not. That would definitely “color me disappointed” after all the exciting speculation which has ensued… Read more »
He is kind of quirky like Spinelli. That would make him like one of the family. Knowing this show, the father will be some mortal enemy of Sonny’s. I have heard rumblings that Oscar is Lucien, Brenda’s son. But that would make everyone look really stupid! Kids don’t change that much from youngster to teenager, and Sonny was the kids stepfather for about 7 minutes. Could be anyone…Franco, Finn, either Jason… possibilities are endless. Even AJ!
” Kids don’t change that much from youngster to teenager”… Really? How long have you been watching this show?? Remember that Josslyn herself should actually be about 3 years younger than Jason’s son Jake. Jake was about 4 years old when he supposedly “died” and Joss was still in diapers then. Now she’s 14 and he’s about 10. Actually the kid that Brenda had with Balkan Jr. would be roughly the same age as Joss, so if they were both SORASed to be the same age, that would at least be somewhat “logical” in soap terms. It’s not likely though,… Read more »
Lol! I meant in real life!!! I still have elementary teachers who remember me from when Inwas like 8…and I am in my 30’s! If Sonny was stepfather to the kid at one point, he should remember him.
There is a certain physical resemblance between Spinelli and Oscar, but does this kiddo possess super cyber skills and a superior vocabulary? That would be a more conclusive proof of paternity than any DNA test could provide!
Franco
No I wouldn’t like to know but he will probably be the son of Drew and the girl that played Carly2 who is returning to GH this fall.
I also think Tamara Braun if she is returning to GH will be playing Oscar’s mom and that means her character will have scenes with Sonny and Carly.Also i’m wondering if Oscar’s mom has a history with Sonny and/or Carly and that’s why Oscar is reluctant for them to meet his mom.Plus i’m wondering if what Oscar’s mom told him about his father isn’t true and whoever Oscar’s father is never knew he had a son.As for who Oscar’s father is, maybe it could be AJ which could give Michael a half brother.Plus since Sonny is the one who killed… Read more »
I certainly like your premise, Andrew. Any enemy of Sonny is a friend of mine.
Sonny is Oscar’s dad and Brenda is his mother.
Anyone but the awful Brenda! Anyone!
My guess is Sonny. He seems to have had his share of women. Make a great storyline to find out they are brother and sister
Hi, Pat,
Joss and Oscar, whether he is Sonny’s son or not, are not siblings….no bloodline; no shared DNA. Sonny is not Joss’ bio dad.
So, nothing would impeded their attraction for each other, except Carly, Jax, Oscar’s mother, or Sonny himself.
Could be Jax? haha!
LOL, Linda. Now, THAT would present the problem Pat, above, is talking about.
May as well be Sonny. He’s had a number of kids pop up over the years! About time for another one from the past to step in, LOL!
He’ll end up being Sonny’s son and Joss will hate him even more! But I hope I’m wrong 🙂
My money is on Franco….
We haven’t met his mom. Is it Brenda and Sonnys his dad?
I’m not sure yet, just hope it’s not Sonny’s. This would most likely break them up n I like to see them together.
As long as it isn’t Sonny or someone related to Sonny or works for Sonny—get my drift
It could be the new doc in town played by Jame DePalva…he’s also a mystery and will be a ladies man or ???
It one of cassidanes or it could be a Spencers or jason Morgan’s kids or hell. Fantastics
When they had the original kid playing Oscar (he was only in about two episodes) I thought they were going to make him an Alcazar offspring – because we all know that Jason never killed Alcazar (a favor to his “sister” Skye) and just evicted his ass out of the country instead. But then they did the quick recast to this kid, so they clearly abandoned the Alcazar idea. This kid does like he could be part Asian though, so possibly a tie to the Wu family from the old Asian quarter storyline. Who is his mother, by the way?… Read more »
The original Oscar got another job so GH had to recast the role.
I think I heard a rumor that Tamara Braun (the second Carly) is going to play his mother.
I hope not, that would be rather stupid.
They had to replace the original Oscar, because he got a much better paying nighttime gig.
I think the new Oscar looks like Joseph Gordon Levitt.
Now that you mention it, he actually does. I hope that’s not the direction they’re going…. they will bring in Joseph Gordon Levitt in his “Third Rock From the Sun” character and make them cousins of Casey the Alien.
..
Valentin
That was my guess too.
With Jessica Tuck’s character as Oscar’s mother??? She may be Helena’s daughter, but I doubt Mikkos’ was her father, so technically she would have no true blood ties to Valentin .
I thought about that, Shaybelle….Valentin or Sonny as the father is too easy. Then again, some of this writing isvso simplistic…no originality, no foresight.
Why is Tuck in the picture? Something’s a’brewing….and it “ain’t” good news for Valentin.
As I said, anyone is the possible father.
‘Tis true, CeeCeeGirl….Maybe even Fluke???? (Or Luke….both guys certainly sowed enough wild oats through the years to make it plausible and feasible….but fingers crossed such will not be the case!) As for Tuck, her reason for being “in the picture” could be as simple as her former status as a OLTL-er, but I should hope that this time there will be some sort of method to Frank’s madness of relocating ever more Llanviewers to Port Charles….it’s getting a bit crowded with so many ex-ABC soap interlopers crashing GH!
It’s gonna be Julian and they’ll do the whole mob-Romeo and Juliette (rival mob kingdoms) thing. I’ll hate it, but betcha I’m right.
Well, Julian is already on his way to rivaling Sonny’s propensity for unbridled out-of-wedlock procreation….and once with the same shared slampuppy, no less!
Ooops!…I stand corrected…make that twice! (Both Olivia and of course, Alexis “Backseat Baby” Davis!)
HaHahaHa…..’slampuppy’? How novel !! I love it !!
But, but, but, Shay…Everyone in PC is inbred. Reminds me of Martha’s Vineyard. The natives are all related to each other, and still mating and breeding.
Shay I know you are not a fan of Julian but William DeVry is a good looking man and a big dog lover so the actor can’t be all bad! Won’t be posting much going thru some trauma with my sis and I am not handling it well she is the one with dementia and it has gotten worse hopefully some day find a cure you and Cee and Timm etc keep up the good fight !!!
@k/kay….My less than favorable opinion of Julian has always come down to his endlessly OTT sexual escapades with Alexis, and not from the actor’s particular portrayal of the character. I know I would find him quite palatable were he paired with a different partner who creates a more compatible coupling….maybe Cassandra? Mr. DeVry and Jessica Tuck would certainly make for an appealing and attractive romantic duo, don’t you think? By the way, I left a more personal message for you on a direct link found at another thread….I hope it reaches your inbox!
I think its Billy Miller’s character/Drew’s/Jason 2.0…
Yes, fuzzytomato. Linda said that as well. And, if truth be told…..after all is said and done? Drew as the fsther is the most likely assumption.
Drew
If we know the mom it would Narrow it down, Guessing Dante so he’s a relative of Sonny’s , or Monday AJs , long shot at a Q.
I’d like that, Vicki. Monica deserves a ‘piece’ of AJ.
ehh most likely Felix’s son…
yah I’ll go with that..
Of course, su, LOL . Felix, yup.
It would be great if he was Finn’s kid, but my money is his dad is Drew/Jason2 (Billy Miller).
Oscar’s Mother is Brenda who we haven’t seen in a very long time, and his father is Dante or at least that is what I believe. So if this is true Oscar is tied to Sonny and. Carly and a few others along the way in Port Charles. Let’s see what the writers end up doing.
I think it would be interesting for Marcus to be his Dad. Stella never said that Marcus was Black! Or have him be A. J’s and the mom kept him from him. So Micheal would be his brother! But not kin to Joss
Well Sonny never has mastered both control
Has Sonny mastered anything, T?
Just spreading his seed far and wide….please pray poor Oscar is not yet more living proof of his prodigious propensity for propagating progeny!
@Shay.
Well, Shay, “his propensity for propagating progeny” will be his downfall…I hope.
The family jewels must be dented and shriveled up by now. “Them gems don’t shine no mo”.
I think “The Sonny Sex Saga” is soooo puke-worthy and ridiculous. Look at him. Why do women find him sexy and attractive? It’s all in the writers’ minds.
I don’t find Jax hot, or good-looking, but he has presence….he has a very attractive aura….so, I could have believed it with a character such as he. But, Sonny??
Perhaps, but when, CeeCee, WHEN? We’ve been waiting…and waiting…and waiting for that moment to arrive, only to be disappointed time and time again! Seems no matter what transpires, “The Sonny Always Rises” to the occasion with yet another gullible femme and before you know it, out pops the next non-prodigious progeny to join that not-so-exclusive club of “Corinthos Kids!” Happens like clockwork….you could almost set your watch to Sonny’s reproductive results….which begs the question, shouldn’t a great with child Martina be crashing back to Port Charles about….NOW?
He looks just like Billy Flynn, who plays Chad DiMera on DOOL. The kid is his!
LOL.
…..Or Paul on Days.
Ironically, some on here are speculating the Jessica Tuck character could be Oscar’s mom. She previously played Chad’s mother on Days. So that would make them “brothers”, sort of…..
Chad is too young to have a 14 year old son though.
Lol, Satan. Chad and Oscar do look alike. Remember, anything is possible in soapland.
Look at Lily ( Y&R)… suddenly, she’s mother to 15-year old twins. She’s my age….thirty.
So……
I love the idea of having a fifteen year old daughter…..like sisters. Fun. LOL.
The more important question is, WHO CARES?
No one, I guess, dmr. But, isn’t it fun???? Some of these answers are very entertaining…good enough for me. LOL.
There really is no ‘gravitational’ factor about this kid’s character. Very blah—uninteresting, so far. That may change, depending who his parents are, and how he deals with it.
It reminds one of a party game, CeeCeeGirl! There are so many clever possibilities as to whom this kiddo could belong, however, I strongly suspect that the actual answer to the question will probably prove far less scintillating than all of the creative out-of-the-box guesses that have been posited on this page. Let’s just hope the big reveal leads to a good story. You know, like the one when we found out the true identity of Nathan’s bio-daddy…Ooops….we’re still waiting for that major mystery to be solved!
Brad or Lucas? A drunken one-night stand to see if he was straight? OMG! That might Brad and Lucas something to do, so that’s probably a dumb idea. Max or Milo? – I’d like that. Dr. Bench? – Okay, but no real thrill there. We don’t know enough about him to care that much. Finn – Doesn’t make any sense. Griffin – Did the priest stray once too often? Dante – Seriously? That would be weird. Sonny – Oh, Hell to the NO! Franco, Ned or either Jason 1 or 2 – Hope not, though possible, I guess. Until we… Read more »
Would be VERY interesting to find out he’s a Jax…maybe not Jasper, but his brother Jerry. Timing would be right since Valentine is about to have a happy reunion with some friends from his “dark” past. Anyway, enjoy the weekend!
PS: loving the Patient 6 plot right now. Almost wish he didn’t come back to Port Charles for a while and we get to see him in action a bit more. See ya!
I love Jerry, so that would be too much fun to find out Oscar is his son, except for the fact that he would be Joss’s kissin’ cousin….yuck!
Hi, Shay,
I did answer you, mon amie….but, my answer must have bruised the moderators’ sense and sensibility. Too risque’? Avant garde?
I will leave it alone and rely on their discretion….I appreciate that. It is their job to sift through our comments.
Oscar is so believably – cute , endearing, sensitive, romantic, AND that’s so nice . ugh! what starts a love story I am accepting Jocelyn WHATS ruining this – her mom and Sonny ! Carly does not have a sensitive bone in her body. even with Sonny , she’s a jack deer tractor. with a loud mouth she’s already run roughshod over Oscar…. and Sonny with his bodyguards… trying to get all cute as Oscar mistook him for a park perv. look at what is happening to Nelle… is this a rerun of “Carly” at that age ? god.. I… Read more »
Michael : the worst actor; he’s telling Nelle before he leaves.. “you have to meet me 1/2 way. bullcrap ! it’s just another plot point to see Nelle cower with tail. it wasn’t even right that the “two” of them jokingly acting out about him being landlord and she as tenant. submissive aint it ? then we get thru the muck of trust issues again… ??? for Michael ? give me an effin break. for ALL the firings and newbies… this is one area… since GH continues to lord over the dullard corinthos’. at the very least.. and this is… Read more »
@Garren Stitt – should you read this
from the getgo… you REELED. period
nice portrait of teen beat.
altho.. you looked a little worn out.. w/scenes with Laura Wright Carly. when she was grilling you… with Jocelyn sitting with
who wouldn’t be.
I ‘d love to tell her character off
“nice work”
@Patrick….Even grown men shrink from the ordeal of experiencing Carly’s relentlessly exhausting nature…I think poor little Oscar actually held up quite well under the circumstances! Lol….
Gumby. The resemblance is uncanny.
HaHaHaHaHa…..best answer, yet, boes.
The show’s current TV ratings…lol.
How about Nikolas Cassadine’s little spawn? Consider the possibilities.
Hmmm, I don’t know…..This kid has round eyes. Anyone on GH past with round eyes, Soaphound? LOL.
The coolest thing about Oscar is you can look at him and imagine him bearing a resemblance to any number of prospective babydaddies in the past and present Port Charles sphere….At this point, the kiddo is a blank slate, and there are so many possibilities where you could conceivably go, yeah, I can see (__________________) as his father! Which makes one wonder if the actual man in question will end up having any striking similarities to Oscar or will we all just feel the typical GH letdown when the cat is finally out of the bag? I certainly hope not!
Lord have mercy
it’s Ellie Trout and Spinelli’
“(Lord) have mercy???” That would make Oscar Blackie Parrish’s boy!
If many of us don’t like so much focus on Sonny/crimelord//guns I surely don’t like to see Laura pointing a gun on Valantine. Especially after what happened in Las Vegas and the overwhelming scourge of all kinds of guns, etc. in the US themselves. As for Oscar, I don’t really care much about who his parents are. But I do like him with Josselyn. In fact I’m having a hard time being interested in any GH stories right now, if that’s what you want to call them. You know…a ittle bit of this, a little bit of that…most of which… Read more »
i’m not loyal @GH
I screamed for two hard years… solid.
Shelley and Frank are back for a 3rd year ? absolutely eff this
cyclical
DAYS is stretching and meeting
does this lessen the blow with GH
absolutely
Patrick… Too many other things that we have come to expect are disappearing way to quickly. The tv landscape is rapidly changing, as well as other industries, their budgets and jobs. And it is totally out of our control except to stay plugged in where we can. So I try to be loyal to GH because it still does have it’s moments, and it has become my go-to hour in the afternoon. Better even a diluted version than none at all.
Patients #3, #4, or #5 is Oscar’s dad.
I doubt it but I think it would be great if Oscar was AJs son…just to torture Carly and Sonny.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: “I’m Alexis Davis, and I’m a Fighter, and an Idealist, and an Advocate”; Nancy Lee Grahn Gives Masterful Performance In Special Episode
When you combine superb direction, writing, production, and acting in a special episode of a daytime drama, viewers can see and understand the thought and care that went into it.
This was more than on display during Thursday’s highly-anticipated ‘Alexis-Centric’ episode honoring the 25th anniversary of Alexis’ portrayer, two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Nancy Lee Grahn, on General Hospital.

In the story, symbolism was apparent and used for dramatic impact and it worked beautifully throughout, and best of all, Nancy received a script worthy of her immeasurable talents, and showed us once again why she remains one of the gold standards of our genre. If you have not seen the episode DO NOT read any further as it contains spoilers.
It begins with an emotional Alexis looking at her mother’s watch which was still frozen from the time of her death. While playing one of her mother’s records very loudly, she recalls Mikkos Cassadine kissing and dancing with her mom as a young Alexis (Natasha) looked on from the staircase. When Sam asks her about it, Alexis shares that she sees the watch as sort of a representation for her own life being frozen over the last three years; which has included Alexis’ battle with booze taking over her life and her being disbarred, when being a lawyer was the way she identified herself and what gave her purpose.
Overwhelmed and anxiety-ridden, Alexis hightails it to Kevin’s office for a therapy session knowing she is going to Pentonville in the morning to serve her sentence. She says she does not know who she is anymore. Then, Kevin asks her how she spent her day thus far. She flashes back to lunch with the good men in her life, Finn, Valentin, Jax and Ned. Valentin tells Alexis she is proud of her for honing up to her mistakes.
Back at the therapy session, Alexis she was an attorney who stood for something and her life has derailed, and that she was a fighter, an idealist, and an advocate. She knows she has to find a purpose in prison to make it through the three-year term and asks Kevin to help her find one.
Kevin wants to go back to when she was a little girl and her memories that are flooding back to her of Mikkos and her mother. Just then, the younger version of Alexis is huddled in the corner of Kevin’s office, an image of her from the past. Alexis tries to come to terms with her father and the choice of dangerous men and relationships that have marred her own happiness … recalling Julian holding a knife to her throat like Mikkos did to her mother. She says he was one of the toxic men in her life, but Kevin reminds her all of the men in her life were not toxic.
Alexis starts with Ned as one who was good for her saying he was always stable, but she ruined that by recently sleeping with him and putting a wedge in his marriage to her long-time friend, Olivia.
We then flashback to earlier in the day, where Alexis ends up in an almost confrontation with Olivia. However, Olivia tells her she misses the Alexis Davis she used to be and to get her back.
Now back with Kevin, a guilt-ridden Alexis relays she feels responsible for Neil’s death. Kevin interjects she is not, nor what happened with Julian. When Kevin attempts to bring up Mikkos again, Alexis rejects it and is angry that he is making her problem about daddy issues; like so many other women. She vehemently shouts that the men in her life do not define who she is.
Then, Alexis flashes back to hurtful memories she has buried of a young Natasha witnessing Mikkos calling her mother a “greedy little bitch”. She recalls it was on Christmas Eve and that Mikkos stopped by to give them gifts. That is when he presented her mother with the watch. However, things took an ugly turn when he tried to leave, and she threatened to tell Helena all about her and Natasha. Next, Mikkos slapped her and that is when the watch shattered. As all this was going down, a young Natasha watched from the stairs and was horrified that she couldn’t stop her father from beating her mother and remembers how helpless she felt.
However, Alexis reveals to Kevin she thought this would be the last of Mikkos coming by, but he returned on New Year’s Eve and her mother took him back into their lives. Alexis is beside herself that she could not protect her mother, but Kevin reassures her to remember she was just a child.

It is then we come to the crux of the story. Alexis looks over in the corner and sees her younger self crying. She goes to her younger self and tells her nothing that happened was her fault, and that their father was damaged and cruel. She tells the young Natasha this shouldn’t have been her burden to carry alone, and that she deserves to be happy. Then in the moment of strength and coming full circle, Alexis introduces herself to the young Natasha, “I’m Alexis Davis, a fighter, an advocate, and an idealist … and I will take care of everything from her on out.” In that moment, Alexis embraced herself, and forgave herself, so she could move on with her life.
Alexis then flashes back to earlier that night, as the Davis girls gather for a faux graduation ceremony so Alexis could see Molly in her cap and gown and they hug. Back in her session, Kevin remarks that Alexis has repeatedly defined herself as a fighter, an idealist, and an advocate, and reminds her she has three daughters who have those qualities, and that all she needs to be is Alexis Davis.
Then, we get a heart-warming montage of Alexis though the years in honor of Nancy’s 25th anniversary with GH.

As the episode concludes, it is the next morning, and Alexis enters Pentonville and enters her jail cell. There she meets her fellow inmate, who is studying law books to prep for her upcoming parole hearing. Alexis introduces herself as “Alexis Davis” and as someone who can help her. We then go back to her mother’s watch which now begins ticking at Alexis’ home. The show fades to black.
Kudos to Daytime Emmy winner, Phideaux Xavier for his outstanding direction, head writers: Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor and script writer, Scott Sickles for the thoughtful episode, EP Frank Valentini and his production crew for putting it all together, and the one and only Nancy Lee Grahn for a performance that will be remembered as a classic.
