‘Tolly’ Became A Thing

Over the years,...

Cyrus has become General Hospital’s signature Jason Voorhees with the way he’s been offing patients one by one. As many wonder why the former drug kingpin has turned into a serial killer, this may be the only reason that makes sense.

Cyrus’ Backstory

Cyrus (Jeff Kober) arrived on the scene in 2020 as somewhat of a serial killer, seeking revenge on the cops who sent him to prison for a decade. He had two of them offed before setting his sights on Taggert (ex-Réal Andrews) and Jordan (then played by Briana Nicole Henry), forcing the then-cop to get him exonerated and released from prison.

It’s been more than a year since General Hospital fans last saw Marcus Taggert (portrayed by Réal Andrews) in Port Charles.

General Hospital’s Réal Andrews has played Marcus Taggert on and off since 1996. Originally, Taggert was an antagonist of Sonny Corinthos. However, the two finally came to a truce when Taggert faked his death to flush out the villainous Cyrus Renault.

General Hospital Spoilers – Michael E. Knight Suddenly Exited

In a surprising twist, Michael E. Knight dropped a bombshell by announcing his departure from the character of Martin Grey.

Joining the ABC soap in 2019 as the enigmatic lawyer who was later revealed to be Laura Collins’ (Genie Francis) half-brother, Knight had made quite an impression.

However, it is his iconic portrayal of Tad Martin on All My Children, a role he embraced for nearly three decades until the show’s unfortunate end, that truly cemented his fame.

Having been off-screen since at least July 2023, “General Hospital” actor Réal Andrews recently took to Instagram to share an update on his status at the daytime drama series, informing fans that it’s up to them as to whether the show will bring him back as Marcus Taggert.

When viewers last saw Taggert, he was on a downward spiral after learning that the daughter he believed to be his was, in fact, someone else’s through a separate relationship Portia (Brook Kerr) had with Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner). Despite Trina (Tabyana Ali) going through the most in the months since Taggert last appeared on-screen, including the presumed death of her first love, Spencer (Nicholas Chavez), one would think it was time for the character to make his return to the canvas, and possibly play out yet another twist of parental lineage.

In a video response to a fan question asking...

Everything should be hearts and flowers for this week’s lavish General Hospital wedding between stoic private investigator turned bar owner Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and Dr. Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). But secrets and lies could ruin everything. The secret? News that Curtis could truly be the father of Portia’s teenage daughter, Trina (Tabyana Ali), the result of a long-ago affair he and Portia had when she was married to Marcus Taggart (Réal Andrews). Trina’s recent genealogy test brought these parentage issues to light. And that’s when the lies begin: Curtis’ aunt Stella (Vernee Watson-Johnson), ex-wife Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and, yes, also Portia know this information and have chosen to withhold it. Does he get suspicious? “Odd behaviors aren’t lost on Curtis,” Turner tells TV Insider, “but he chalks it up to everything that’s happening [with the wedding].” If the groom does find out, the repercussions could be catastrophic.

Season 7 of The Bay will kick off with new episodes December 19.

The sudser recently completed its milestone 100th episode, which will be released in early 2023. Viewers can watch the daytime drama series weekdays at 3 p.m. Et/12 p.m. Pt on Popstar! TV.
