General Hospital: Lulu & Cassius Spark Twisted Romance – New Faison & Anna?

General Hospital gives Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) telling his sister Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) that he is in love with Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). And it’s a red flag, I think, when Cassius said he is not going to lose her.

He is determined to keep his real identity a secret and he wants to keep pretending to be Nathan so he can hang on to Lulu. But is it love that Cassius feels for Lulu or is it obsession like we have seen with other Faison family members in the past?

We’re going to talk about how Cassius may be fixated on Lulu the same way that Faison was fixated on Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), and we’ll touch on some other fixated Faisons that we’ve seen on General Hospital.

Cassius Claims to Be In Love with Lulu on General Hospital

All right, so recently Britt was arguing with Cassius trying to convince him to end things with Lulu, but Cassius seems so certain that he is in love with Lulu. But Britt, I’m sure, does not believe Cassius genuinely loves Lulu or is even capable of that. But bottom line is he’s convinced himself, if not his sister.

Cassius does seem to genuinely also care about her son Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and his nephew James West (Gary James Fuller), too. But obsession can look like )love until it gets out of hand. And , a good chance Cassius may be like his dad, like his mom, and like his wicked brother. He may not realize it yet, but Cassius may already be fixated on Lulu and it could turn unhealthy at any moment.

Cassius is a child of Faison after all, and it seems that obsessive affection runs in their family. If you’re a longtime GH watcher, you may remember how Anna was tormented by Faison back in the day and his twisted obsession with her that lasted for decades, pretty much till his death. He was dangerously fixated on Anna.

He went to great lengths to try and win her heart, win her body and soul. But if you remember, she was in love with Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) back in the day when a lot of their stuff was going on. You know, he was the great love of Anna’s life, I think, aside from Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers). Yeah, I know she and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) had a thing, but her and Duke, I mean, come on.

Faison’s Obsession with Anna on GH

So, Faison created a Duke mask so he could impersonate Anna’s sweetie, hoping to get obscenely close to her. Because, let’s face it, Faison was crazy and crazy about Anna. And of course, when she found out he wasn’t really Duke, but Faison in a Duke mask, Anna was horrified. Faison honestly made Anna miserable for years. Because of his obsession with her and she’s still being tormented now.

At the moment, Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) are using Faison’s obsession with Anna to torment her psychologically and keep her locked up in this fragile mental state in that clinic in France. They used Faison’s fixation to gaslight Anna into a total breakdown so that they have the bandwidth to finish Faison’s Cold Fusion project with her out of the way.

Liesl Obrecht And Britt Also Fixated on General Hospital

So, let’s talk now about Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). Although she’s only a Faison by marriage, she is also one who gets fixated. Liesl was obsessed with Cesar for many years and his obsession with Anna absolutely broke Obrecht’s heart.

And since she is Cassius’s mother, that means he inherited an obsessive gene from both sides. Twisted DNA from his mom and also his dad. Same with Britt. Honestly, while she is very different now, back in the day when she the britch fully, she was so fixated on Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson) that she stole Lulu’s embryo to try and keep him.

Peter August’s Obsession with Maxie on GH

And of course, who could forget Faison’s other son, Peter August (Wes Ramsey,) His obsession with Maxie Jones was so twisted. Peter claimed to be in love with Maxie just as Cassius insists that he loves Lulu. And just like Cassius is pretending to be someone he’s not, remember that’s what Peter did, too.

You know, he hid the fact that he was Faison’s son and made sure that his dad Faison died so he couldn’t mess up his life any further. And his true identity was one of the many things that Peter hid from Maxie. Because he was absolutely obsessed with her. Peter was willing to do anything to have a life with Maxie and James and little Bailey Louise. Sound familiar?

General Hospital: Striking Similarities

Cassius is behaving a lot like Peter, but not quite as over-the-top as Faison did with Anna. At least not yet. And hey, stick around to the end. I have a huge update about Kirsten Storms for you guys. So, considering that Peter and Cassius grew up around Faison, I suspect they are worse than Britt and far worse than Nathan. So, Cassius may be capable of the same things that Peter did on General Hospital.

And remember when his lies began to unravel, that’s when Peter went bat crap crazy. He kidnapped Maxie, took her from Port Charles, made her give up Bailey Louise so that basically she could be all his. That was after Maxie finally realized how insane Peter was.

Cassius Could Turn Obsessive on GH

And that is a lot like what Faison did with Anna. Because Faison kidnapped Anna and her daughter Robin Scorpio (Kinberly McCullough). And Faison had this twisted fantasy about having a life and making a family with Anna and Robin. So the way Peter acted towards Maxie is a lot like the way Faison was with Anna. And Cassius may turn out to be the same way.

He’s already refusing to give up Lulu even knowing she’s in danger and the risk it poses. And I think part of it is that Cassius has never felt love before or honestly ever even been liked. Because he grew up with Faison. He’s pretty much been either a henchman in training or a henchman his entire life. He didn’t have a normal childhood or a normal life.

But now that Cassius is impersonating Nathan, you know, finally Cassius is getting to feel love and friendship for the first time in his life. Nathan was the one truly good Faison. So Cassius is loving this life that he has stolen from poor dead Nathan. And Cassius likes being close to Lulu and James and Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), everybody who knew and loved Nathan. So of course Cassius doesn’t want to lose any of that, but especially not Lulu. So that’s why he told Britt he’s going to stay Nathan as long as possible. And while he’s saying things that sound like their true love and are romantic with anybody in the Faison family, there’s a thin line between affection and fixation.

General Hospital: Cassius’ Crazy Starts to Show

I expect Cassius could turn crazy obsessive at any moment. And I think we are really going to start to see his true colors when Cassius thinks his secret could be exposed, and especially if he thinks he might lose Lulu. That’s when I expect we’ll see the dark side of Cassius. And it could start soon. Because I suspect Sidwell may soon remind Cassius that he is not Nathan.
