General Hospital Comings & Goings: It’s The End of the Road for One Villain
It’s time to say good-bye to one of General Hospital’s many bad guys: The show has scripted the departure of Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) underling/butler Pascal. The character has been played by Marc Forget since July 2025, when Pascal was introduced as a foil for Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at the Five Poppies, and he left Port Charles in dramatic fashion in the June 4 episode.
The Jig Is Up
After holding Britt captive at the Five Poppies (and strapping a bomb to her ankle at one point!), Pascal traveled to Port Charles, where he publicly assumed duties as Sidwell’s butler while privately continuing to assist him and WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) with various illegal activities as they forced Britt to finish work on Faison’s final project.
Britt wasn’t the only person affected by Pascal’s actions. When Anna (Finola Hughes) was being held hostage at Wyndemere, Pascal helped psychologically torture her into believing that Faison was still alive. And after Sidwell datally shot Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard), it was the ever-loyal Pascal who helped clean up the crime scene and dispose of the body, planting it in the trunk of Laura’s (Genie Francis) car so Sidwell could blackmail her and Sonny (Maurice Benard) into staying in line.
During his time at Wyndemere, Pascal also nursed some very intense feelings for Sidwell’s son, Marco (Adrian Anchondo), which caused him to jealously lash out at Marco’s live-in lover, Lucas (Van Hansis). When Cullum brutally murdered Marco, Pascal was overwhelmed with grief — and guilt, since he played a role in Cullum finding out that Marco and Lucas were conspiring against him.
Pascal’s exit was set in motion when Britt informed Sonny that the butler had helped cover up Dalton’s murder. Sonny shared the news with Laura, and they enlisted Lucas to help them put some pressure on Sidwell’s manservant in hopes of getting him to flip on his boss. After Lucas pointed the police in Pascal’s direction by putting on a show of believing that he was Marco’s killer, the butler feared that Sidwell would retaliate against him by killing him, so he made a run for it. But Sonny intercepted him before he could get too far.
On the character’s final episode, Sonny noted that Sidwell would stop at nothing to avenge his son’s death and offered to help Pascal flee the country — but only if he turned on his boss. Terrified Sidwell would kill him on sight if he tried to retrieve the incriminating photos of Sonny and Laura from Wyndemere’s, Pascal instead gave the combination to the safe to Lucas so he could collect the blackmail fodder himself. Sonny then had one of his men drag Pascal off to the airfield to fly away to parts unknown.
A GH rep confirms to Soap Opera Digest that this is the last viewers will see of Pascal for now, but notes that in the world of Port Charles, comebacks are always possible.
