General Hospital Recap: Edward and Lila Come For Oscar

The General Hospital recap for Wednesday, May 1 features Oscar Nero Quartermaine accepting that his time on earth has come to an end.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Oliva (Lisa LoCicero) sat in the living room adding photographs of Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Oscar (Garren Stitt) to the Quartermaine photo album, the pictorial family tome that traced the lineage from family founders Edward and Lila.

On the staircase, Drew (Billy Miller) and Kim (Tamara Braun) discussed Oscar’s plight. Ned (Wally Kurth) joined Monica (Leslie Charleston) in the family crypt and she told him she was comforted by the knowledge that those who passed on would be there to greet the newly departed.

Upstairs in Oscar’s room, and drowsy Josslyn finally fell asleep and the sound of her novel hitting the ground woke Oscar up.

Suddenly Oscar began to see visions of a possible future — Sonny and Carly welcoming their new baby into the world, his mother and Julian happily engaged, and Josslyn now a high school graduate embarking on a new romance. Comforted by what he has seen he told Josslyn he ready, “To go home.”

Oscar explained that he realized that by trying to cling to life he had doomed himself and those he loved to a life lived in limbo and that he was finally able to let go.

Returning to the real world, Oscar’s spirit shed it mortal coil and after tenderly kissing Josslyn goodbye he followed Edward and Lila into the light.

Josslyn awoke seemingly aware of Oscar’s farewell gesture. When she turned towards his bed, she realized he had passed.
