This occurred to me after watching today's episode.
What if Director Cullum somehow is Faison? We have seen old characters return with new faces any number of times, using latex masks, plastic surgery, and even mind transfer once I believe.
Josslyn was talking about previously finding Faison's book and his
favorite cigars in Cullum's coat. I can see why Cullum having that book would be likely even if he is not Faison. But the cigars? Not so likely.
Or it's just another red herring.
Recruiting Britt to complete his own research would make sense if Cullum
is Faison. The WSB Director would not have the science background needed
for that research, and Britt is the person most able (along with
Obrecht) to finish her father's research.

Right. They could also have it that someone transplanted Faison's brain,
that had been pickled in a jar of formaldehyde, was transplanted into Cullum's body.

Cullum used both the book and the cigars to gaslight Anna, so that could
be the reason he had them in his pockets.

If Cullum is Faison, he wouldn't have needed to recruit Britt, would he? Couldn't he have just done the work himself?

I had the same thought but shelved it.
I wasnAt really sure about FaisonAs area of expertise. But I do remember
he kidnapped Robin in the past, to have her work on medical issues.
This time, they are working on cold fusion as some sort of weapon.
Dalton seemed the only person with the right credentials.
In the recent past, Britt said she was not really qualified to do research
on cold fusion.

IDK what Faison's bona fides were, just that he was some sort of scientist/spy with the DVX. But maybe he was a generic "mad scientist"
like Mikkos Cassadine--not a scientist at all, just a megalomaniacal nut
who dared meddle with the primal forces of nature (to borrow a phrase).

At this point, I will conclude FaisonrCOs only real job he can list on his resume is headhunter/recruiter
Doubt his job interview would go well though, once they determine his tools are limited to kidnap and extortion.
I guess the writers must have heard that viewers were questioning
Britt's credentials, because they had her mention to someone once and in passing that in addition to her OB/GYN MD, she had a PhD in nuclear
physics. I mean...LOL, why not!

Yes, why not? After all, Robert Scorpio suddenly had a never-before-mentioned Law Degree when he took over as DA.
Spoiler space
Britt said Faison had four kids
nathan, Britt and Peter
So who is the fourth?

I suppose Cullum could be a candidate if Faison had fathered him when he
was a very young child, but since when did a little pesky detail like
age ever get in the way of parentage on this show?

Aside from being resurrected from the dead, there's something odd about Nathan that I've not been able to put my finger on, so just dismissed it
as the actor having forgotten nuances of the part he played after so
long away. But Nathan's behavior has been so odd lately that I wonder if Nathan isn't actually Nathan, but his identical twin brother
"Schmathan."
If Nathan were actually Schmathan, it would explain not only the resurrection, but why he has no sign of a chest wound, why he no longer
has enough hand/eye coordination to hit a ball with a bat, and why he
wasn't in love with Maxie when he came back from the dead in spite of
his claim that time had not passed for him.
OTOH, it's hard to believe that the fourth kid could be Schmathan when
Liesl, unlike Nina, wasn't in a coma when she gave birth, and would
certainly have been aware that she had been pregnant with two babies. So there's that little hitch in the theory.
There's also the very slight and unlikely possibility that Kelly
Thiebaud, who has been given in the past to malapropisms and other
flubs, simply made a mistake with the line and cited four kids for
Faison instead of three.

This all lines up. They are certainly setting Nathan up to be Schmathan.
I am reminded of the time when Anna was programmed in such a manner to
create uncertainty whether she or Alex were PeterrCOs mom.
That Cullum and company have been messing with Anna suggests a Scmathan connection of some sort.

Those inconsistencies in Nathan's behavior are sure enough making us at least *suspect* that he is not the Nathan we previously knew. A secret
twin would explain it. What if Nathan did have a twin brother, but Leisl
was told by Faison that the twin had died. In that case, Faison could
have hidden the baby, raising him in secret for use later in just this
kind of situation. Classic Faison.
Or, Schmathan could be a clone.
Neither of those is any more far-fetched than previous plot devices used
on GH. For example, I don't remember exactly how Drew Cain was explained
to be Jason's secret twin, but it seemed pretty much a stretch at the
time. Or how Liz Webber's son Jake came back from the dead, which I
don't believe was ever explained at all.

Yes, that would be the most reasonable scenario. But then there would
need to be an explanation for why neither Liesl, Britt, nor Nathan had
never once mentioned that Nathan had been a twin. If Britt's "four kids" remark can be taken as truth, Britt knew. And if Britt knew, so must
Liesl have known.

Jake's resurrection story was lame. Luke killed him by running him over
while DUI, but when they decided to bring Jake back, they rewrote the
story so that he hadn't died at all, but had been kidnapped by Helena.
Drew was created out of whole cloth, however, and the explanation for
him as Jason's surprise twin was a conspiracy between Heather and
Franco's mother Betsy to steal Drew so that Betsy could raise him as her
own child. Susan Moore hadn't known she had given birth to twins because
she had been unconscious during the births. How bloody convenient. That
was a long time ago, but not so long ago that a pregnant person wouldn't
have known they were carrying more than one baby. Especially when the
father was a freaking doctor, for petessake. So if Nathan turns out to
be Schmathan, expect an explanation that's equally daft.

True. But never before mentioned plot points are not unusual in Port Charles. Maybe Leisl never said anything about it because it was too painful, and the others respected that? Still, you are correct that it should have been mentioned at least once before now.

Thanks, I had forgotten that it was explained that Helena had somehow kidnapped Jake after Jake "died." What was never explained was exactly
how Helena managed that. If I recall correctly, there was a funeral, and Jake had been buried after having his organs harvested for donation.

If Nathan is Schmathan, the rewrite of Nathan and Schmathan's birth will surely include a rationale for why the second baby had never been
mentioned by anyone in the family until now. I really hope Nathan is
Nathan, tho. The guy seems as sincere and nice as he always was, and if that's just a big act that the undead Cesar has put him up to, well...it would just be a huge let down. For me, anyway.

That was the original story. Then came the rewrite, which was the most twisted and confusing story rewrite I've ever seen on GH. IIRC,
according to the rewrite, Helena kidnapped Jake *before* Luke ran him
over. Luke *did* run over a child, but it wasn't Jake, and it was never explained who that child was. Presumably, the organs were harvested from
that child, and that was the child that Jake's family buried. They could
have just left it there, which was bad enough, but instead, they made
things worse by rewriting Joss's kidney donation as Nelle's kidney,
purchased by Jax on the black market from Nelle's adoptive father. I mean...boggle.
