General Hospital: Britt’s ‘Four Kids’ Line Hints at Faison’s Secret Child
On the March 19 episode of General Hospital, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) made a seemingly throwaway comment about her late father that could have major storyline implications — and fans immediately began speculating about its significance.

As she packed up her room at Bobbie’s while preparing to skip town with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), Britt received an unexpected visit from Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). Joss asked Britt if she knew about a possible connection between double agent Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Britt’s madman of a dad, Cesar Faison (Anders Hove). Britt said she didn’t know if the men had been acquainted and insisted that Faison was dead. “The only thing left of him is his brain in a jar, four kids, and my Huntington’s,” she declared.
Viewers were quick to hone in on her remark, given that in GH canon, Faison only has three children: Britt and Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) with Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), and Henrik Faison, also known as Peter August (Wes Ramsey), with Alexandra Devane (Finola Hughes). So, either Britt misspoke in the heat of the moment, or she let slip some critical information about Faison’s family tree!
On social media, the most popular theory is that Nathan has a secret twin. The existence of a twin could explain some dangling questions about Nathan’s apparent return from the dead last fall, since he not only died on screen back in 2018 but had an open casket funeral (also on screen). Nathan showed up in Port Charles claiming to have no memories of the seven years that had transpired since his seeming demise, and the WSB’s exhaustive efforts to turn up intel on his whereabouts were a dead end (no pun intended). Is this because Nathan isn’t Nathan at all, but rather his identical brother? And is that why Britt seemed so uneasy around him at first, and even tried to stop Nathan from meeting his own son, James?
Other fans are floating the idea that Cullum might be Faison’s heretofore unknown son. While viewers don’t know that much about the recently arrived WSB director, what is known is that he’s up to his eyeballs in the efforts to bring Faison’s cold fusion project to fruition, that he is carting around a copy of The Crystalline Conspiracy by PK Sinclair (Faison’s pen name) and that he had an open pack of cigarillos (Faison’s smoke of choice) in his jacket pocket. Were these merely props in the bad guys’ quest to trick Anna into thinking her longtime nemesis was still alive — or was this the show dropping easter eggs about the true nature of Cullum’s connection to the supervillain?
