We have reached the final chapter of our Cesar Faison retrospective, and this one covers 2014 and 2018. The truth comes out about Anna and Robert's secret, Faison walks around Port Charles wearing Luke Spencer's face, and in 2018 the full weight of his memory mapping operation finally lands on everyone connected to it. By the end, even our guest JD had run out of reasons to defend him.

César Faison's 2012–2013 return to General Hospital was his most personal and elaborate scheme yet — not a diamond heist or a political conspiracy, but a sustained act of identity theft driven entirely by obsession.

She was just waiting to come home.

César Faison returned to General Hospital in 1999 under an alias, secretly manipulating events from behind the scenes.

In 1990, Cesar Faison didn’t just return to Port Charles — he rewrote the rules. Living under the alias P.K.
