Trouble brews, and betrayal and treachery are everywhere. Buckle up for a jam-packed <em>General Hospital<\/em> commentary for the week ending March 20, 2026.<\/strong><br><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I love soap operas. I have since I was a kid, and this week\u2019s <em>General Hospital<\/em> is exactly why I fell in love with this particular show. There was so much happening this week that I hardly know where to begin. There were several revealing scenes and plenty of dropped clues, betrayal, and treachery to go around. Will Marco survive a visit with Cullum? Jason had Cullum in his sights, but he failed to pull the trigger.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-3f288c588cb5f2b8d3677c147e730564\" id=\"h-gunning-for-cullum\" style=\"background-color:#aa4411\">Gunning For Cullum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason made a vow to kill Cullum before Jason and Britt skedaddled from Port Charles. The plan was to secure enough medication so Britt could keep her symptoms at bay while Brick arranged for a sample to be replicated. The game was afoot, so Jason went to his super-secret storage unit where he keeps his assassin wares including a rifle with silencer and scope. It is a <em>huge<\/em> gun. He assembled it for us to get a good look at, while throughout the episode his thoughts drifted over recent conversations that had led him to that moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, Jason disassembled the high-powered rifle, put it in his duffel bag and left to take care of business. I wonder if he drove over to the building across from Jack\u2019s office on his motorcycle or the snazzy neon bright sports car that he tools around in. Whatever the case, he certainly didn\u2019t bother to stop and change from his usual dark garb into something less conspicuous for a broad daylight hit perched atop a bright white fire escape. He stood out like a billboard sign with flashing lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marked-for-death\">Marked For Death<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, Jason didn&#8217;t fire a shot. He was too distracted from his mission fighting the urge to kill Brennan. It&#8217;s time for Jason to retire because the one time he really needed to eliminate a threat, he didn&#8217;t. Now, Cullum is paying turncoat Marco a visit armed with a knife. More on that in a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason&#8217;s failure will have ripple effects for sure. Britt has her hands on two vials of medication, but Pascal is onto Marco. No doubt it&#8217;s what prompted Cullum to seek out Marco. Jason can&#8217;t save Marco, but will Jason be able to get away from Dante in time to catch up with Britt and leave town? Who knows. Britt and Lucas picked the absolute worst place to meet up, Rocco is lurking in the shadows, and both Cullum and Pascal are two steps ahead of everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday can&#8217;t get her fast enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-b059827e6a30933a8d3483edfd09f516\" id=\"h-the-sins-of-the-father\" style=\"background-color:#aa4411\">The Sins of The Father<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s talk about Marco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marco desperately tried to redeem himself because he loves Lucas that much. But it\u2019s clear both Lucas and Marco were in over their heads from the start. Their plan to steal the vials of medicine was slapped together and doomed from the onset. Who steals two vials of anything from men who see murder as a viable solution to their problems without a solid plan? Marco made no effort to cover his tracks, but it would have been easy to do. Lucas works at a hospital. Did it ever occur to him and Marco to get a picture of the labels so that Lucas could give Marco two vials of saline to replace the stolen medication? If nothing else, it would have bought them time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hate sloppy writing, and this felt sloppy. Pascal had busted Marco before Marco made it to the mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-ll-be-seeing-you\">I&#8217;ll Be Seeing You<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew that something big was about to happen when Marco and Lucas said goodbye. Something about their parting felt final. Like it was their last goodbye. A few scenes later, and Marco was sitting in Alexis&#8217; office doing paperwork when he got a text from Lucas. Moments later, Cullum entered the office hiding a knife behind his back. Is this the end for Marco? I&#8217;m almost certain that it is. First, the quick turn around with Marco when Lucas found out that Marco was in league with Sidwell, and now betraying his father in such a blatant way. Lucas is a fool if he doesn&#8217;t think the missing vials will be traced right back to him. They were in a safe not sitting out for all to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question is if Sidwell knows what Cullum is up to. Did Pascal go straight to Cullum or did he tell Sidwell about his discovery, and Sidwell alerted Cullum? Sidwell is evil, but is he that evil?  I don&#8217;t think so. Sidwell appears to genuinely love Marco. Pascal is now a dead man walking, and my gut tells me that Cullum will attempt to somehow frame Sonny for the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Burton is taking a brief hiatus from <em>General Hospital<\/em>, so Marco&#8217;s death will likely be the catalyst for Jason going underground. I really hope he takes Britt with him, but I have a sinking feeling that might not be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-49645b3d4018b3ef347be33ec542d3ff\" id=\"h-the-spy-who-hated-me\" style=\"background-color:#aa4411\">The Spy Who Hated Me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been watching <em>General Hospital<\/em> for decades, so I know Sonny&#8217;s history. I watched it firsthand. Josslyn has good reason to dislike Sonny, but I don&#8217;t get the hatred or her determination to take Sonny down. The fixation doesn&#8217;t make sense especially since it doesn&#8217;t extend to Jason or even her wicked uncle Jerry Jacks. It&#8217;s also frustrating that no one ever bothers to correct her about Morgan&#8217;s death and who is to blame. It&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so hard for me to take Josslyn seriously as a spy. She\u2019s such a terrible agent. Josslyn doesn\u2019t follow orders \u2013 having gone rogue a couple of times now \u2013 and she couldn\u2019t catch a clue if it was handed to her giftwrapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Josslyn was even half as competent as she thinks she is, she would have picked up on the massive clue that Britt dropped on her this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-slip-of-the-tongue\"><strong>A Slip of The Tongue?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When Josslyn questioned Britt about Faison, Britt said, \u201cWhat I do know is this \u2013 my father is dead. The only thing left of him is his brain in a jar, four kids and my Huntington&#8217;s\u2026\u201d Excuse me? Four kids? I&#8217;ve never known <em>General Hospital <\/em>writers to make a mistake like that, so this isn&#8217;t a case of Kelly Thiebaud misspeaking and no one catching it. That was a clue. A clue that Josslyn should have picked up on immediately. I sure did, and so did many viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only know of three Faison children: Nathan, Peter, and Britt. Some on social media have suggested that Faison spoke of another son whom Faison referred to as &#8220;Sonny,&#8221; but I couldn&#8217;t find anything to corroborate that. There&#8217;s also a possibility that it was a nickname for Peter\/Heinrik. All reliable sources list three children for Faison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fourth-faison\">Fourth Faison <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I do believe the addition of a fourth Faison offspring is recent. Given Nathan&#8217;s arrival, many of us can&#8217;t help but wonder if Nathan had a long-lost identical twin, and it&#8217;s Nathan&#8217;s twin who is posing as Nathan. Is that why there was a DNA match?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-ef544337a5290ba35f1992eadf5b6706\" id=\"h-the-twin-twist\" style=\"background-color:#aa4411\">The Twin Twist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nathan and Lulu had their first date. It didn\u2019t go as Lulu had planned since James played third wheel for a while, but at the end of the night Nathan and Lulu ended up in bed. I\u2019m not a fan of this pairing for a number of reasons. I\u2019m over the Maxie thing in large part because I\u2019m certain the man claiming to be Nathan is not Nathan. More on that shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My biggest issue with Nathan and Lulu\u2019s romance is that it went from friendship to romance in the blink of an eye. It was like a switch was flipped and suddenly they had these big strong feelings for each other that they could no longer deny. Nathan and Lulu were fighting everyone to just go out on a date. I could understand if they\u2019d been dancing around an attraction for months, gave into their passions, and then suddenly Maxie woke up. But a kiss in a snowstorm? Nope. Don\u2019t buy it. That&#8217;s how teenagers react to crushes, not grown adults with children and relationships under their belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-double-trouble\"><strong>Double Trouble<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I realized why our <em>General Hospital<\/em> writers were in such a rush to get Nathan and Lulu in bed when Cullum inexplicably showed up on Lulu\u2019s doorstep the morning after. Nathan\u2019s visceral reaction to seeing the duplicitous director, the obvious silent exchange between the men as they stared each other down, and Nathan&#8217;s visit with Dante when Nathan insisted that they find a way to keep Cullum away from Lulu spoke volumes. Nathan knows exactly what Cullum is up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did Lulu sleep with Nathan\u2019s identical twin? There have been subtle clues for months that the man we know as Nathan is in fact not Nathan. His lack of desire to find out where he\u2019s been for seven years, Britt\u2019s reaction to James meeting his father, Nathan messing up something as basic as the chain of custody in a case, and that story he told Lulu about his father forcing him to memorize the periodic table as a punishment all point to an imposter. Oh, and his lack of skill swinging a bat. Individually they can be dismissed as nothing, but combined they paint a damning picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-real-nathan\"><strong>The Real Nathan<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest clue that this man is not the real Nathan was his reaction to Maxie. The real Nathan would have gone to her bedside. He wouldn\u2019t have moved on &#8212; with her best friend no less &#8212; in just a few short months. The real Nathan would have wanted to reconnect with Maxie because she was the love of his life. He would have fought for her if she\u2019d chosen Spinelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A twin twist explains why Nathan did none of those things. NotNathan was never in love with Maxie. What it doesn&#8217;t explain is why he&#8217;s in Port Charles and what his connection is to everything that&#8217;s been transpiring on Spoon Island. Was NotNathan coerced into cooperating like his sister Britt or is he a willing participant in the plot to resurrect Faison&#8217;s final crime against humanity? I can&#8217;t wait to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-77032c85bf345deed9c36211df758d95\" id=\"h-general-hospital-s-love-in-the-afternoon\" style=\"background-color:#aa4411\"><em>General Hospital&#8217;s<\/em> Love In The Afternoon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Love is definitely in the air these days. Some of the pairings are great (looking at you, Emma and Gio) and some are not so great (Lulu and NotNathan). Here are the romances I&#8217;m keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-romancing-elizabeth\">Romancing Elizabeth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth is one of my favorite characters, so I&#8217;ve been frustrated by the lack of storyline and romance for her. Franco died on March 09, 2021, and since then Elizabeth has been pretty much single and backburnered. There was a brief dalliance with Lucky, but that was over when he decided to pack up and jet off. Becky Herbst is one of the most underutilized actors on the show, so I&#8217;m delighted that she&#8217;s finally getting some screentime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ric and Dante are both sweet on General Hospital&#8217;s top nurse, and I&#8217;m curious to see who will win her heart. I&#8217;m rooting for Dante mainly because Ric has a bad habit of self-sabotaging. Something about loving Liz always brings out the very worst in him. He swears that he&#8217;s turned over a new leaf, but that hasn&#8217;t been tested yet. As much as I love Ric, I don&#8217;t trust him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pretty-woman\">Pretty Woman<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael and Jacinda are going hot and heavy, but there have been signs that Jacinda hasn&#8217;t quite cut ties with her past life as she has led Michael to believe. I&#8217;m not sure Jacinda is the right woman for Michael. She&#8217;s nice enough, but she seems more like a rebound relationship than someone I can see Michael growing old with. Luckily for Jacinda, there&#8217;s really no competition. Willow has moved on to torturing Drew, and Michael seems to be related to all the other eligible ladies in town &#8212; except Justine. Currently, Justine only has eyes for Sonny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the soapiest romance on canvas right now because it has the potential to get messy quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-afternoon-delight\">Afternoon Delight<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the chemistry between Laura Wright and James Patrick Stuart. Those two know how to bring the heat to a love scene and their characters are well-matched. More than that, I can&#8217;t wait for Nina to find out that Carly and Valentin are lovers. It might be petty, but I see it as karma for Nina&#8217;s relationship with Sonny in Nixon Falls. The only difference is that Carly isn&#8217;t taking advantage of Valentin&#8217;s situation. He knows exactly who Carly is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-d85cc51f9e6b44288d159cee495fe123\" id=\"h-phoebe-s-fate\" style=\"background-color:#aa4411\">Phoebe&#8217;s Fate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brook Lynn and Chase are on track to adopt Delilah\u2019s newborn daughter. They\u2019ve named the baby Phoebe and are now going to request to foster her while the police search for Phoebe\u2019s next of kin. I\u2019ve been watching <em>General Hospital <\/em>long enough to know when the writers are setting things up for a soapy plot twist.&nbsp; To quote Jeff Goldblum in <em>Jurassic Park<\/em>, \u201cOh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that\u2019s how it always starts. Then later there\u2019s running and, um, screaming.\u201d Trouble is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delilah might have dropped out of thin air, but there was a reason for that closeup of her tattoo. The writers intend to revisit it, and given all the mystery around Delilah\u2019s appearance in Port Charles, it\u2019s likely not going to be good for Brook Lynn and Chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dawn-of-day\"><strong>Dawn Of Day<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who watched <em>General Hospital<\/em> when Willow first appeared in Port Charles, might have noticed a similarity between Willow and Delilah&#8217;s situations. Both were young pregnant women, both had a mysterious past and no family connections, and both sported a tattoo of a unique symbol. Was Delilah running from a new Dawn Of Day cult leader? Shiloh liked to mark his disciples with a tattoo, especially the young women who were initiated into his circle of trust \u2013 or whatever he called it. Has someone taken Shiloh\u2019s place in the DOD organization?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To my knowledge, Shiloh is dead. I know that it doesn\u2019t mean much on a soap, but in this case, I don\u2019t see the need to resurrect that particular sexual predator. Willow is going to have enough trouble with Sidwell and Drew.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-017318fafcaecd061ff8010244bcf82d\" id=\"h-port-charles-potpourri\" style=\"background-color:#d8c1b0\">Port Charles Potpourri<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Some quick thoughts about other things going on in and around Port Charles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safety-first\"><strong>Safety First<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I chuckled when I noticed that Jason\u2019s super-secret storage unit didn\u2019t even have a padlock on it, much less a security camera outside monitoring who is standing in that tiny alleyway. There\u2019s more security on the employee lockers where I work than on Jason\u2019s storage unit. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-danny-s-dangerous-dna\"><strong>Danny\u2019s Dangerous DNA<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexis should have her memory checked because she seems to have forgotten that Sam was a self-proclaimed danger junkie. It\u2019s what drew Sam to Jason in the first place. Listening to Alexis whine to Tracy about Danny getting his penchant for danger from Jason infuriated me. Given Alexis\u2019 recent history, she\u2019s the last person who should be in charge of Danny. I hope he stays put at the Q mansion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-police-commissioner-dante-falconeri\">Police Commissioner Dante Falconeri<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless Dante has an arrest warrant, he can&#8217;t force Jason to do squat. And if he does have an arrest warrant, then Alexis had every right to act as Jason&#8217;s attorney. I expect better from Dante. Shame on Dante for dragging Jason away from Danny&#8217;s game. Danny is going to be so hurt and disappointed that Jason missed his game. I hope Sam haunts Dante&#8217;s dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meet-me-at-pier-55\">Meet Me at Pier 55<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would Britt meet Lucas on Pier 55 rather than somewhere far away from the boat launch to Spoon Island? Also, why drag her suitcase with her? If I&#8217;m going to a clandestine meeting, I would have left my luggage in the car even if it&#8217;s on wheels. How is she going to explain that suitcase if she should run into Sidwell or Cullum? The odds are high since they use Pier 55 to ferry back and forth to Spoon Island!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-6e3f49b25ecb589fdc04ff88949c1667\" id=\"h-what-general-hospital-viewers-are-saying\" style=\"background-color:#aa4411\">What General Hospital Viewers Are Saying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We love reading what other fans have to say about the show, so please scroll down to the Comments section and share your thoughts.
