Episode 735: Cesar Faison Part 4 (2012 – 2013)

César Faison's 2012–2013 return was his most personal scheme yet. Rather than operating from the shadows, he wore another man's face — specifically Duke Lavery's — and walked straight into Anna Devane's life, convinced that if he could become the man she had loved, she would eventually love him too. Meanwhile, Robin Scorpio Drake wasn't dead. She had been abducted, held overseas, and forced to continue her medical research — all as part of Faison's plan to devastate Anna before swooping in as the hero. The impersonation nearly worked. Fingerprints matched. Robert Scorpio's warnings were dismissed. Anna's trust was real. It took a psychic vision from Olivia Falconeri, a chemical pressed against a latex mask, and a memory about a place called Andermat that never existed to finally bring it all down. By 2013, the story had moved to Cassadine Island — Robin still captive, the real Duke chained in the tunnels, and Anna finally closing in on the truth she had been chasing all year. It ends in a church. Patrick Drake is seconds from marrying someone else. Emma looks toward the back of the room. "Mommy." Shannon, Amanda, and JD break down every twist — including JD's ongoing and surprisingly committed defense of Faison's character — in this week's Port Charles 411 episode of Pier 54: A General Hospital Fan Podcast. #GeneralHospital #GeneralHospitalHistory #CesarFaison #RobinScorpio #PatrickDrake #AnnaDevane #RobertScorpio #LukeSpencer #LieslObrecht #BrittWestbourne #NikolasCassadine #HelenaCassadine #DukeLavery #AndersHove #FinolaHuges #KimberlyMcCullough #EmmaScorpioDrake  Learn more about your ad choices.
