While everyone in Port Charles (or those in the know) are worried about Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), and Pascal (Marc Forget), there is one person who may turn out to be worse then them all … Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo), Sidwell’s son and boyfriend to good guy doctor, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis).
If the Monday, January 26 episode of General Hospital was any indication, the writers seemed to have ramped up Marco’s agenda, who not only wants revenge on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), who he blames for his mother Natalia’s (formerly played by Eva LaRue) overdose and death back in the summer, but now he wants the mobster completely wiped off the face of the earth.
Yesterday’s airshow had Marco putting the screws to Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) on the cold fusion project and then having an ominous conversation with the new villain in town WSB Director Ross Cullum at Wyndemere. In fact, Marco is becoming the weasel of Wyndemere and seems to be working against his father, but instead of for the greater good … it looks like he’s working for the greater bad.

In story, while alone at Wyndemere, Marco called Cullum to Spoon Island to discuss the problem of Sonny Corinthos. Marco explained that his father had leverage over Sonny and has been using it to achieve his own goals, but he felt it was too risky to leave the loveable monster walking around scot-free. When Cullum asked if Marco’s attitude had anything to do with avenging his mother’s death, Marco gloated that he’d enjoy seeing Sonny suffer for what he had done, but the threat to their business was greater. Once Marco said that, Cullum became all ears!
Marco says Sonny still has a stranglehold of the ports, even though he sold his father the piers. Marco believes that his father’s complacency to end Sonny once and for all, could have a direct impact on their project; since they are located directly across the harbor from the guy who could take them all out. Believing that blackmail is not enough to neutralize Sonny; Marco advocates for Cullum to take Sonny out permanently.
And that was not all! Next, Marco called Britt to Wyndemere. When she said she was seeing patients at the hospital, he threatened to tell Cullum, she was being difficult if she didn’t show up on Spoon Island, pronto! Once Britt arrived at Wyndemere, Marco showed her the new lab. However, Britt voiced her concerns for its safety precautions. A dangerous Marco accused her of stalling, when Lucas arrived and wondered what the two were talking about.
