General Hospital Spoilers: Réal Andrews Back On Set, Teases Taggert Takes Down Cyrus Renault

Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) have always have always been enemies. When looking back on the past, these two men have been at the opposite ends of the law, even when Sonny was not even breaking the law. Taggert wanted to take down Sonny and it didn’t matter who or what got in his way.

Over the Winter, Taggert surprised Sonny, Jason, and the rest of the 1990s Port Charles crew when he returned to the city with a purpose. Although Sonny immediately thought Taggert was back to come after him, this time that wasn’t the case.

Sonny and Taggert are actually on the same page this time around, with a common enemy. Taggert’s untimely “death” got in the way of these two bonding over a common cause.

This Summer, Réal Andrews returned to The set of General Hospital, after General Hospital rumors and spoilers suggested that Taggert wasn’t really dead. General Hospital rumors insinuated that he had faked his death as part of a grander plan against Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Those rumors just so happened to come true.

General Hospital news reported that Réal Andrews was back as Taggert, while General Hospital spoilers reveal he was the the one on the other end of DA Jordan Ashford’s private phone calls from her burner phone. Now that Taggert has shown his face in Port Charles, they must be careful that Cyrus doesn’t spit him. More people know Taggert is alive, and ironically enough, he is getting help from Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton)- and we cant forget Epiphany Johnson (Sonya Eddy) sticking her neck out to help them all.

Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) warnedTaggert to stay hidden or he wouldn’t blow the entire plan. He was already scene by Jason and now Epiphany and Sonny also know he’s alive. Taggert stumbled upon Julian Jerome (William deVry) unexpectedly as he and Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) were arguing about Wiley (Erik and Theo Olson).

General Hospital news and spoilers hint that it’s about time Taggert shows his face again in Port Charles- this time, he’s ready to take down Cyrus! Andrews recently shared an IG story filing himself walking through the halls of Prospect Studios. Andrews then added to his IG story, asking fans if Taggert should kick Cyrus’ butt. So far, 98% of fans have voted “YES” on Andrews’ IG story poll.

It looks like Réal Andrews is just as anxious and excited to take down Cyrus Renault as his character, Marcus Taggert! Andrews is shown in his IG pic alongside his friend and co-star, Maurice Benard. Although enemies on screen, these two are life long friends in the real world. General Hospital rumors suggest some of that tea life friendship will rub off on each of their GH characters, resulting in a Corinthos/Taggert truce.
