With Dante’s calm support and Nina’s warmth, the sealed doors in Nathan’s mind begin to open. Memories come back like shards of glass forming a broken mirror. The truth about his “death” emerges—an elaborate deception designed to erase him from the world.

With trembling hands, Nathan recalls the nightmare orchestrated by Cesar Faison, the master manipulator who once terrorized Port Charles. The explosion, the chaos, the grief that followed—all were part of a twisted scheme. While the world mourned him, Faison kept Nathan alive, using him as insurance for his own dark plans.

The weight of stolen years crushes Nathan as he realizes what was lost: precious time with family, friends, and a life ripped away. Then Dante delivers a devastating blow—Monica Quartermaine is gone.

The Quartermaine Funeral: A Community in Mourning

Even as Nathan sits in his hospital bed, Port Charles gathers at the Quartermaine mansion to say goodbye.

• Ned Quartermaine struggles to hold his composure as he pays tribute to his stepmother.

• Jason Morgan, Monica’s chosen son, battles emotions he rarely shows.

• Tracy Quartermaine, despite years of conflict, feels the sharp sting of genuine loss.

• Brook Lynn, carrying the weight of the younger generation, weeps openly.

The eulogies paint Monica as a healer, a leader, and the steady heart of a fractured family.

Then, the impossible happens. The doors burst open, and Nathan West steps into the room. A collective gasp freezes the mourners. Months of grief are undone in a single instant as Nathan—changed, scarred, but alive—stands before them.

The Shocking Revelation

Nathan commands the room with grave urgency. His voice cuts through the stunned silence.

“I know you have questions about how I’m here,” he begins. “But first, you need to hear the truth about Monica.”

His next words send shockwaves through the room: “Monica’s death wasn’t an accident. Someone murdered her—and I know who it was.”

Gasps ripple through the mourners. Nathan doesn’t hesitate: Faison is alive.

Monica had uncovered proof of his survival, perhaps through medical records or hospital connections. To protect his secret, Faison poisoned her. The death that seemed natural was carefully staged.

“He killed her because she was a threat,” Nathan reveals, his voice heavy with grief and fury. The implication chills the room—if Faison is alive and killing again, no one is safe.

The Ripple Effect

The room erupts with emotions:

• Jason’s fists clench, fury boiling at the thought that the woman who gave him humanity was murdered.

• Tracy’s calculating mind races, already considering what Faison’s survival means for Port Charles’ stability.

• Ned shoulders the burden of keeping the Quartermaines united as grief mixes with fear.

• Brook Lynn sees Monica’s final act as one of heroism, her death a sacrifice for truth.

Monica’s legacy transforms before their eyes—from healer to martyr.

What was meant to be a funeral becomes a call to arms. Nathan, standing alive before them, becomes both a symbol of survival and the key to exposing Faison once and for all.

A Brewing Storm: Lulu vs. Britt

 While the Quartermaines process their new reality, another explosive confrontation simmers elsewhere.

The September 23rd episode shifts focus to Lulu Spencer and Britt Westbourne, locked in a bitter conflict over Rocco Falconeri.

 Hoping to make peace, Lulu approaches Britt with cautious optimism, but the conversation collapses into hostility.

Britt’s regression shocks fans—gone is the compassionate doctor she once became. Instead, an obsessive, ruthless woman emerges, staking dangerous claims over Rocco.

 Lulu, haunted by Britt’s past theft of her genetic material, now faces the possibility of seeking a restraining order to protect her son.

 Rocco’s natural curiosity about Britt only complicates matters. His questions become ammunition in an adult war that threatens his stability.

 Legal experts weigh in: Britt’s defiance and threats could justify court intervention, forcing Lulu to pursue drastic action.

The Memorial Episodes – A Legacy in Jeopardy

 General Hospital prepares a two-part memorial for Monica airing September 25–26, designed to honor Leslie Charleson’s five-decade legacy while shaking the foundations of Port Charles.

• Long-buried secrets will surface.

• Family alliances will fracture.

• Hidden agendas will erupt during Monica’s farewell.

 The funeral introduces Ronnie, a mysterious character played by soap legend Erika Slezak, whose arrival threatens to destabilize the Quartermaine family further.

Battles over the Quartermaine mansion and inheritance loom, as legal manipulation and betrayal threaten to rewrite Monica’s final wishes.

Tracy prepares to go to war, willing to use both legal and extralegal means to protect the family.

 The fallout promises not just legal and financial chaos, but also emotional devastation for generations of Quartermaines to come.
