Veteran actor Marc Forget joins General Hospital this August, and fans are curious about his mysterious character’s link to Britt. As Jason inches closer to the truth behind Britt’s supposed death, Forget’s role may finally provide long-awaited answers.
Who is Marc Forget playing on General Hospital?
Marc Forget debuts on the August 1 episode of General Hospital as Pascal. He is a shadowy new character who seems to hold answers about Britt Westbourne’s shocking reappearance. Although ABC has kept details about Pascal tightly under wraps, early scenes suggest he’s a close part of the show’s ongoing cold-fusion storyline, one that could hold life-or-death consequences.
Pascal’s debut follows Jason’s investigation into Britt’s death after he thought he saw her at an airport. His suspicions led him to question Britt’s mother, Dr. Liesl Obrecht, who confessed she still imagines seeing her daughter, too. Jason’s determination takes him to the hospital’s morgue records. There, he learns that Britt’s ashes were allegedly collected by her mother. However, the official cremation date is missing from the paperwork.
All signs point to Britt possibly faking her death. And now, with Pascal entering the picture, the pieces may finally fall into place.
How is Pascal connected to Britt on General Hospital?
Pascal appears to be tied directly to the cold fusion research carried out by Professor Dalton, a project in which Britt is secretly involved at General Hospital. Britt seems to hold power over Dalton, with references to a mysterious “friend” pressuring him to make progress. That friend could very well be Pascal.
Though Britt was believed to have died from Huntington’s disease complications, her possible return and ties to cutting-edge research suggest a larger plan. Given Britt’s history and her father’s legacy as a major General Hospital villain, it’s not far-fetched to think she may have inherited resources or knowledge that allowed her to fake her death and go underground.
Furthermore, Forget’s character could be a former associate of her father, or someone with the scientific and logistical reach to help Britt achieve a major medical breakthrough. Possibly even a cure for Huntington’s. For now, General Hospital fans will have to wait and watch what happens next.
