Our first clues about James Franco's character on General Hospital

Yesterday, in the final scene of GH, we saw a mysterious room and a mysterious hand – obviously meant to be Mr. Franco's. Now, we know from the press release that Franco's character has something to do with the Jason/Sam storyline. (Jason, of course, is the emotionless, brain-damaged mob enforcer/hitman-with-a-heart-of-gold who just yesterday helped cover up Claudia's murder, and who's dating Samantha, the ship captain-turned-private investigator.) Anyway, to the haunting strains of Adam Lambert's "Mad World" (?!), we got a shaky POV-cam look at the desk and then walls of a room which were COVERED with pictures and newspaper clipping of Jason, as well as a bunch of crazy looking charts and graphs and chalkboards. The final shot had the mysterious hand throwing down a VERY RECENT picture of Jason burying Claudia's body in the woods. Which was odd because it was LATE, LATE AT NIGHT and DEEP, DEEP IN THE WOODS, where nobody should have been.  SPOOKY. This means one of four things:

1) He's an FBI investigator targeting Jason.

2) He's a crazy (gay) stalker (PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!).

3) He's a long-lost (twin?) brother.

4) He's a Zachara family hit man, who is targeting Jason to avenge the death of the rival mob princess, Claudia. 

I'm thinking it's probably the last, but I'm holding out hope that he's a gay stalker. His first appearance isn't until the 20th, so I'm sure there will be plenty more scenes of the mysterious hand and the mysterious room. If you start watching now, you won't miss a thing by the time he appears.
