General Hospital: Who Kidnapped Anna — And What’s Their Endgame?

General Hospital just cranked Anna Devane's disappearance from creepy to downright bleak, but finally tossed us some real clues about who took her and where she has been. If you felt like the show was breadcrumbing this for weeks, same. Now the pieces are finally starting to line up.

How Anna vanished (and why everyone got thrown off)

• It started on the November 5 episode, right after Britt and Nathan landed in Port Charles. Because both are Cesar Faison's kids, Anna immediately spiraled into thinking her old nemesis still had a hand in things, even though she personally confirmed his death back in 2018.
• Jason tried to ground her, saying Sidwell was probably just trading on Faison's name to mess with her. The damage was done, though. Anna was rattled.
• Minutes later, as she got into her car, someone lurking nearby ambushed her with chloroform. She woke up tied to a chair, no idea where she was.
• A man with a distorted European-accented voice spoke from the shadows, never showing his face, and told her she was headed:

"to a new life"

Meanwhile, the rest of Port Charles got fed bogus intel designed to stall the search. Jack took a call claiming Anna had left on a top-secret WSB assignment. That smokescreen worked. Fans were left hanging for weeks until the show finally cut to Anna alive, screaming from the other side of a mirror. She started connecting dots on her own, but could not place the location.

The first real break: who did it and where she is

We finally get a face: Pascal. Viewers clocked him immediately from an earlier scene with Sidwell. And here is the twist that makes this feel extra unnerving: Anna was not stashed in some distant bunker. She was being held at Wyndemere, right under everyone's nose.

What this actually tells us (and what it doesn't)

The show is clearly nudging us toward a larger conspiracy with Sidwell in the mix, Pascal doing the hands-on work, and Faison's legacy still haunting the edges. Anna has not figured out she is at Wyndemere yet, and she still does not know how Sidwell ties in or what Faison's so-called "final project" actually means here.

Bottom line: after weeks of smoke and mirrors, we finally have names and an address. The motive is still a question mark, but the circle around Anna's captors just got a lot smaller. Keep your eye on Sidwell, because if he is invoking Faison, he is either bluffing big or carrying out something that started a long time ago.
