General Hospital Mystery: Did Jon Linstrom return as Kevin or Ryan?

Fans also wonder if he is working for Sidwell.

What's going on with Kevin?

General Hospital fans are seeking answers about another mystery and speculating about several recent connected storylines. Everyone is curious and wondering what is going on and how the pieces will fit together. This begins with Kevin Collins (Jon Linstrom) because he seems different since his return. 

Some viewers believe the man who is back in Port Charles is Ryan Chamberlin, but we saw Ryan dead and zipped in the body bag. Kevin's demeanor seems off, and he was aloof and stern like his twin, but there could be more than one reason.

His behavior could be explained by Linstrom being away from the role for a year. He currently portrays Joey Armstrong on Beyond the Gates, so he may have been in character as the mob boos who can be as sinister as Ryan.

Could it be Ryan?

It was creepy the way Kevin stood in the door looking at Laura Collins (Genie Francis) when he first returned, giving off a Ryan type vibe. I am among those who thought for a moment that somehow the demented doctor had survived. 

If he somehow escaped the body bag, he would have had to do something about his severed hand. Also, Laura should be detecting that all is nto well if, in fact, it's not her husband in her home.

Kevin has been off-screen for a year since December 2024. His return and his demeanor have fans coming up with different scenarios.

Who is "C"?

Some General Hospital viewers wonder if Dr. Collins is the person who sent Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) medication signed "C."  It's not likely that the Parkinson's disease meds came from Caesar Faison(Anders Hovis) because he died, and his brain is in a jar.

So who does "C" refer to? Could Kevin be secretly working with Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota)? Has he gone to the bad side like his sinister brother? Perhaps the "C" is for Britt's best friend, Brad Cooper (Parry Shen), who will soon return to Port Charles.

Some viewers are wondering if Brad may secretly be working with Jenz. Others suggest that he will also go to the dark side by working with his aunt, Selina Wu (Lydia Look). Whoever this mysterious benefactor is they would have to have medical knowledge and be working with Sidwell and Pascal.

Will Dr. Collins remain in Port Charles?

This has those who watch General Hospital asking many questions. In addition to wanting to know the identity of "C" fans also want to know whether Dr. Collins will stick around for the long haul.

Beyond the Gates tapes episodes in Atlanta, so he cannot pull double duty like Wally Kurth (Ned Quartermaine), who also portrays Justin Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives. Could General Hospital be writing Linstrom's character off the show again temporarily or possibly permanently?

Has Laura's spouse somehow been brainwashed, and is she in any danger from him? What about Brad? Previews show him returning to Portia Robinson's (Brooke Kerr) office.

Has he run through his fortune, and does he still have blackmail on his mind? Spoilers tease he will help out his Bff, so what does he know and how will he be of assistance?

What comes next in Port Charles?

General Hospital fans should pay close attention to the next episodes for clues about Laura's husband and his motives. Be on the lookout for Sidwell to drop hints about his partner/boss and for Brad to reveal his agenda.

Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) will be trying to pry information out of Britt, all the while plotting Jenz's final fall. Keep tuning in to the Port Charles drama to learn how Brad and Kevin fit into the mix.
