General Hospital Spoilers – A Taggert Sized-Hole In The Plot

The absence of Marcus Taggert has left a noticeable void in the show ever since actor Réal Andrews departed from the beloved soap opera.

The last time viewers caught a glimpse of Taggert was on July 19, 2023, during a heartfelt dinner with his daughter Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), where they shared their thoughts on the changes unfolding in their lives.

Fans may recall the shocking revelation from the May 31, 2023 episode, which disclosed that Taggert was not Trina’s biological father following a blood test.

This twist sparked speculation among fans, with some believing that the test results were manipulated and that Taggert might indeed be Trina’s true father. It was a rather ignominious end to the character considering his last scene was getting drunk over his lost daughter.
