The name’s Z. World Security Bureau Director Z. To most of us, the enigmatic spy agency leader on “General Hospital” bears a suspicious resemblance to “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver, down to the daffy “I mean business!” stroll of a man who describes himself as “a Middle-earth three.” But to the soap’s faithful, Z is the smooth-talking head of a spy network with bureaus in Geneva, Switzerland; Ithaca, New York; Washington, D.C.; and a field office in that hotbed of lies and double-crossing known as Port Charles. Which is also in New York.
If you’re wondering what a spy plot has to do with a hospital, you are taking this way too seriously. This is a soap. Just go with it.
