The Monday, March 23 episode of General Hospital did not disappoint as it moved storylines to its apex, and clearly delineating who is the baddest man in Port Charles of them all! Yup! WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

In story, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) was stabbed by Cullum in the law office of Miller & Davis and left there, bleeding out on the floor and at that point, still alive. Next, Cullum sees the message from Lucas (Van Hansis) that he’s meeting Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at the pier.

Lucas goes to Britt, and their scenes showed the very human side of their once contentious and thawed relationship played to perfection by Kelly Thiebaud and Van Hansis. Meanwhile, Jason (Steve Burton) had to escape an arrest warrant by the WSB in front of his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), by head-butting Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) to get away and Rocco (Finn Carr) showed up on the pier hiding in the shadows, listening to every shady thing that is going down against the woman who gave birth to him, Britt!

CULLUM TURNS EVEN MORE DEADLY

In addition, Brennan (Chris McKenna) seems like the first person to call out Nathan (Ryan Paevey), for potentially not being the real Nathan and what his purpose is for showing back up in Port Charles 7 years after he supposedly died. The two share a war of words, while Brennan is looking for Britt and searching her room at Bobbie’s. Brennan wonders if Nathan is just clueless and lost 7 years of his life, or if he is working on the inside and knows much more about the Cullum/Sidwell exploits then he is letting on.

After Jason gets away from Dante, the acting police commissioner puts on an APB on him, and Danny gets upset that Jason doesn’t have his gun to protect himself, because he surrendered the weapon to Dante.

Back at the pier, Britt is so grateful to Lucas and Marco for getting her the vials of medication to save her life. She admits she is leaving town tonight with Jason which Rocco overhears. Britt pleads with Lucas to not go back to Wyndemere as it will quickly be discovered that the two vials of he medication were stolen. She also tells Lucas to watch his back.

MARTIN TELLS LAURA HE’S LEAVING PORT CHARLES

In the mayor’s office, Martin (Michael E. Knight) informs his sister Laura (Genie Francis) that he’s leaving Port Charles for a case in Reno but then worries he’s leaving Laura to have to deal with Tracy (Jane Elliot). Laura reassures him all will be OK. After Martin exits, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) shows up and tells Laura that Martin’s leaving was all his doing since he was getting his nose in business he shouldn’t have. Sidwell remains threatening to Laura when he brings up Kevin and Ace. Laura asks how he’d react if his son Marco was threatened, but he still remains threatening to the mayor to do his bidding, or else!?

After Lucas has left, Cullum shows up on the pier. He demands Britt give him the medication vials and pulls out a gun. Rocco is hiding/watching the whole thing. Sadly, Britt hands the vials to Cullum and he stomps all over them and she begins to cry. Cullum says she has two choices. She either returns to Wyndemere to finish the prototype where she will be locked up, or he’ll arrest her as the director of the WSB.

JASON AND CULLUM SHOWDOWN TAKES SURPRISING TURN

A fight breaks out, between Cullum and Britt. She goes flying and hits her head on a crate and is knocked out. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, Jason shows up and jumps Cullum before he has the chance to shoot at Britt. As Jason and Cullum have a knock down drag out fight, Cullum’s gun does down, but Cullum pulls out a weapon that resembles a long baton and is about to strike Jason dead with it, when Rocco picks up the gun and shoots Cullum in the back. Jason is stunned and so too is Rocco!

Then, in the GH preview for tomorrow’s March 24 episode below, someone is rushed into surgery (we think it’s Cullum) and Alexis stumbles upon something in her office, we assume it’s Marco!
