General Hospital scripted the departure of Sidwell’s underling and butler Pascal, with Marc Forget’s final appearance airing in the June 4 episode.
The exit was staged as a dramatic getaway: Pascal gave Lucas the combination to a safe holding incriminating photos and, after a string of revelations about his crimes, was dragged off to an airfield and flown away to parts unknown.
Forget took on Pascal in July 2025, and the character’s run over the past year tied him to some of Port Charles’s darkest storylines — he strapped one bomb to Britt’s ankle, helped dispose of one body, and worked directly with Sidwell and WSB director Ross Cullum on illegal operations connected to Faison’s final project.
Pascal’s most explosive actions reached across the canvas: he held Britt captive at the Five Poppies, coerced her to finish Faison’s work, and helped psychologically torture Anna into believing Faison was alive while Anna was held at Wyndemere. After Sidwell shot Henry Dalton, Pascal assisted with cleaning the scene, put Dalton’s body in the trunk of Laura’s car and thereby enabled the blackmail scheme against Laura and Sonny.
The character’s loyalties and emotions created further complications. Pascal developed intense feelings for Marco while at Wyndemere, lashed out at Marco’s live‑in lover Lucas in jealousy, and later felt overwhelming grief and guilt when Ross Cullum murdered Marco. Pascal also played a role in Cullum learning that Marco and Lucas were conspiring against him.
Those intersecting threads propelled the chain that led to Pascal’s exit: Britt informed Sonny that Pascal had helped cover up Dalton’s murder, Sonny told Laura and then enlisted Lucas to pressure Pascal, and Lucas directed police attention toward Pascal by pretending to believe Pascal had killed Marco. Facing the threat of Sidwell’s retaliation, and after Sonny offered to help him flee if he turned on Sidwell, Pascal ultimately handed over the safe combination and was removed from Port Charles.
That sequence leaves a clear immediate consequence: several active storylines — Sidwell’s rackets, Britt’s trauma, the fallout from Marco’s killing and the Dalton cover‑up — lose a direct operative. Producers have removed the character who tied those threads together, creating new space in the narratives for Sonny, Laura, Lucas, Britt and others to pursue remaining loose ends.
A General Hospital representative told FilmoGaz this is the last viewers will see of Pascal for now, though comebacks are always possible in Port Charles. The statement frames the departure as definitive at present while not ruling out a future return — a familiar posture for daytime casting exits.
What comes next is simple and specific: there is no confirmed return date for Pascal. The show has written him out; the only official word is that his absence is current, not necessarily permanent. The sharper open question — the one that now matters for plotting and for viewers — is whether Pascal would return as a fugitive, a cooperating witness, or in some other capacity, and the production has not offered that detail.
For now, Marc Forget’s run as Pascal is over on screen as of June 4, and Port Charles must play the aftermath. The show’s spokesman left the door ajar: Pascal’s story has been closed for the moment, but in a canvas built on reversals and surprise reappearances, that closure is not the same as an ending.
