The Week of August 11, 2025

Chris McKenna, who has been recurring as Jack Brennan, has inked a contract with the soap. The move comes as the actor’s storyline has begun picking up momentum. McKenna revealed the news during Gh’s recent fan club weekend. He took over the role of Jack last February from Charles Mesure, who originated the part of the Wsb station chief.

Although Rena Sofer announced that she and her husband, Sanford Bookstaver, are moving to New York,...

When the cast of “General Hospital” gets back to work on Monday, August 4, after being given the entire month of July off as part of the show’s summer hiatus, actor Chris L. McKenna will return to the Prospect Studios in Hollywood as a contract cast member, six months after making his debut in Port Charles in the recurring role of Jack Brennan on the ABC drama series.

Following the exit of Charles Mesure, who originated the role, several soap veterans reportedly auditioned for the role of Brennan, Director of World Security Bureau (Wsb), who heads up operations in Port Charles, but it was McKenna who ultimately swayed producers with his charming portrayal of the station chief. As a result, and with the way things are going in story, it only makes sense for the show to lock in the venerable actor.

“The overwhelming support from you beautiful people helped make it happen,...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers suggest there’s some good news for fans of Chris McKenna, who plays Jack Brennan on the ABC soap.

According to Soap Central, while the actor was on recurring status, he’s officially been bumped up to a contract with a daytime drama.

Chris McKenna Steps Up To The Plate

McKenna made the announcement during his Gh Fan Club Weekend 2025, along with fellow cast member Bradford Anderson, who plays Damian Spinelli.

The actor was happy to share the news that after the show comes back from its summer hiatus and starts filming again on Monday, August 4, he’ll be on contract with the soap. He was met with roaring applause from his fans.

The actor was recast in the role earlier this year, but was on recurring status, taking the character over from Og Jack Brennan, Charles Mesure. Now it seems like McKenna will become a...

General Hospital spoilers confirm that Chris McKenna, who plays Jack Brennan, shut down rumors that his character would be killed off the soap.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: McKenna Has Made The Role Of Brennan His Own

The actor has moved from recurring to contract status. McKenna announced at the Gh Fan Club weekend.

The news was followed by loud applause from fans. It looks like August 4th, McKenna will be officially on contract status.

It’s an impressive upgrade for McKenna, who started off as the Jack Brennan recast, taking over the role from Charles Mesure, who was a fan-favorite.

Fans were shocked and disappointed that Mesure decided to exit the show and didn’t exactly embrace McKenna at first. Over time, he’s accumulated a devoted fan base.

McKenna has truly made the role his own and is playing this complex and intriguing character beautifully. He should be praised for...

General Hospital spoilers confirm that a supposedly reliable soap leaker revealed that there will be four shocking deaths on Gh in the fall.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Brennan Is Close To Carly’s Heart

It comes from the same source that delivered the news that Natalia Rameriz (Eva Larue) was going to meet a tragic fate. They also reported that Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) would exit Gh before it was announced.

Sadly, one of those shocking deaths slated to occur is someone close to Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) heart.

Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) is marked for death, and we fear it will leave our beloved Carly inconsolable.

Given the dangerous nature of his profession, we can picture a scenario where Jack senses he’s about to be killed and declares his love for Carly before he is eliminated.

Fans on social media are already mourning the potential demise of Jack and Carly’s sizzling romance.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that there has recently been a shocking leak in which four characters are allegedly going to be killed off the soap in the fall.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Monica And Leslie’s Deaths And Tributes Coming Soon

Apparently, whoever this leaker is, they are a highly reliable source. The source leaked that Natalia Rameriz (Eva Larue) would meet her demise and also that Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) would leave the show long before either exit was announced.

The first and most obvious is Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson). The late actress, who passed away in January, will receive a beautiful tribute as her character passes away and is given a heartfelt memorial service.

Monica’s death marks the end of an era. Many major characters are connected to her, and it will be moving to watch her family mourn her death.

Naturally, the Quartermaine clan will have some...

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease that according to a behind the scenes leak, four devastating deaths will take place in Port Charles before the year’s end-possibly in the fall. One of course will be Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) but there will be three more-including one kept under tight wraps of a major character!

These Leaks Come From A Reliable Source

This same source is responsible for leaking Tristan Rogers returning as Robert Scorpio to help with Sofia Mattsson’s departure as Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) with baby Daisy Gilmore (Evelyn and Brenden Beimford).

This source also leaked Kirsten Storms’ leave of absence as Maxie Jones due to her relocation to Nashville. The same source also leaked details about the new Home and Heart segment and disclosed Natalia Rogers-Ramirez’s (Eva Larue) death a few weeks prior to the event occurring.

So we can take these leaks as fact,...

General Hospital spoilers reveal while Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) budding romance with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) has been on the back burner, her head-over-heels interest in the charming Wsb operative is growing hotter as the summer season quickly approaches.

Yet, Jack is keeping a bombshell from Carly: her daughter, Josslyn ‘Joss’ Jacks (Eden McCoy), is working for him as a Wsb agent, a role he coerced her into to monitor Henry ‘Hank’ Dalton’s (Daniel Goddard) tech project.

As Carly dives deeper into Jack’s allure, oblivious to his manipulation, his scheme burns bright, threatening to explode. Will Jack’s lie about Joss shatter their spark, or can he keep Carly in the dark while his plan unfolds?

Carly is Falling Hard for Jack

Carly’s chemistry with Jack has her smitten, a welcome distraction from the custody battle her son just won after weeks of stress preempting it.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers indicate that Daniel Goddard recently made an explosive debut as the mysterious, and a tad creepy, Port Charles University professor, Henry “Hank” Dalton.

The soap star recently caught up with Women’s World magazine to talk about his current run on the ABC soap, as well as his past stint on The Young and the Restless (Y&r), as Cane Ashby.

Getting His Feet Wet In The Land Of Daytime Drama Again

Exiting the Y&r in late 2019, it’s been a hot minute since Goddard has been in the soap opera loop.

He scored his Gh role when he was given an opportunity to read for another part, the role of Jack Brennan, earlier this year, after Charles Mesure decided to step away from the character and the ABC soap.

As fans know, Chris McKenna ultimately scored the recast job. This had Goddard feeling down in the dumps initially.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers show that Chris McKenna landed the recast role of Wsb super-agent Jack Brennan after Charles Mesure left the General Hospital.

Soap fans are legendary for their loyalty to their favorite shows and characters and McKenna knows this as he debuted as Joey Buchanan on One Life to Live when he was 13.

When he took over the Gh role on February 4, fans were shocked as there had been zero hint of Mesure’s departure.

Understandably the fan base has had a lot to say about the sudden switch and not all of it is fair and balanced. Here’s what to know about McKenna’s recent online response to some of the reaction he’s received on social media.

Chris McKenna Responds to Fans

McKenna has not been shy about talking about his recast. For example he’s shared a bit about his tenure on the ABC...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers indicate Laura Wright (Carly Spencer) recently sat down with Soap Opera Digest (Sod) to talk about a number of things related to her Port Charles’ character.

One interesting topic was a recast that ‘had to happen’ this year. More on this story, below.

Jack Brennan Recast Was Needed

Wright talked to Sod about the Jack Brennan recast that was forced to happen earlier this year. As fans know, actor Charles Mesure originated the role, and fans were shocked to learn at the end of January that Chris McKenna was filling in.

Mesure decided to leave the ABC soap suddenly, which placed the show in a bind where a quick recast was needed.

Wright talks about McKenna stepping up to the plate and diving in. Unfortunately, the chemistry between Wright and McKenna took second fiddle to the fact that the show needed someone to fill Brennan’s shoes right away.

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers share how Laura Wright, who plays the one and only Carly Spencer, feels her character’s romance with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) is unlike anything Carly has ever had before with anyone.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Carly Isn’t Listening To The Naysayers

Wright spoke with Soap Opera Digest and expressed her opinion on Carly and Brennan’s relationship and how she feels Carly will react when she finds out Jack has enlisted her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), to work as a spy for the Wsb.

The actress said that she didn’t hesitate for a moment to keep Carly and Brennan’s chemistry alive when the uber popular Charles Mesure stepped away from the role, when many fans were rooting for Mesure’s version of Jack to woo Carly and watch them get together.

“One minute the actor is there, and the next minute we were looking for another actor,...

General Hospital fans know someone’s trying to kill Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and we wonder if it could be Lady Mobster Selina Wu (Lydia Look) or bad boy Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

We know Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sonny take a closer look at Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) after the LA assassination attempt. Partly because he’s a villain.

But also, there’s the timing of his arrival in Port Charles coinciding with the explosion at Sonny’s penthouse. Plus, Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva Larue) told Sidwell about the surgery.

Of course, Sonny thinks Sidwell fits the profile of someone who’d have access to dark web assets and assassins. And he could get hold of espionage-grade bomb materials.

But I still think Sidwell’s a red herring. And there are two very plausible alternative options. One of these two might be behind this assassination plot – Selina Wu and Valentin Cassadine.

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers suggest that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) may still belong together after all this time.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Carly Is Going To Los Angeles With Sonny

Sonny finally told Carly about his heart condition, and she was highly supportive. She insisted that she accompany him to Los Angeles to be there with him. He is scheduled to have his life-saving heart surgery.

Sonny and Carly have always had a special bond that has remained long after their divorce. That bond has been tested many times. Their deep and lasting connection has prevailed over every disagreement, every heartache, every other partner, and every life-or-death situation they have experienced together.

Now that Carly has been apprised of Sonny’s health status, she’s willing to be by his side while he has the procedure and in the aftermath.

Carly also wants to make sure...

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers confirm that The Young and the Restless alum Daniel Goddard, who played the role of Cane Ashby on Y&r from 2007 to 2019, is joining Gh as Josslyn Jack’s (Eden McCoy) environmental physics professor, Henry Dalton, whom the Wsb is investigating.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Goddard Starts On Gh On Tuesday, April 15

When Goddard took to social media and announced he had big news to share, Y&r fans immediately assumed he’d resume the role of Cane, especially since the show introduced a mysterious new character.

There was speculation that Cane Ashby would turn out to be Aristotle Dumas. However, the “soap gods” decided to throw us a curveball instead.

Goddard starts airing on Gh on Tuesday, April 15. In an interview with TV Line, Goddard admitted acting hadn’t been on his radar since Y&r, but in December 2024, he took a call from his prior manager,...

Nearly six years since being let go from “The Young and the Restless” as Cane Ashby, actor Daniel Goddard is returning to daytime to play Professor Henry Dalton on “General Hospital,” a character first referenced earlier this week during a conversation between Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and her Wsb handler, Vaughn (Bryce Durfee). Goddard first airs on Tuesday, April 15.

In an interview with TV Insider, Goddard spoke about his return to the genre, the character he originally auditioned for before landing the recurring role on the ABC soap opera, and reuniting with some of his former colleagues at “The Young and the Restless.”

Taping his first episodes in mid-March, Goddard told the outlet that his character works at Port Charles University, saying, “He teaches environmental physics, and it seems there are some things in his past that he’s done that have left him in a position of some form of investigation.

The Young and the Restless fans may be heartbroken when they learn that Daniel Goddard’s (Cane Ashby) secret isn’t about his return to the CBS soap.

No, he isn’t Aristotle Dumas — but he is a professor named Henry Dalton.

General Hospital is the soap that scooped Daniel up after years from the spotlight. The actor has settled into life without acting, but that changed late last year when he auditioned for a different role with the ABC soap.

The former Y&r star spoke with TV Insider about his upcoming debut as Henry Dalton and how the role became his.

Daniel will debut in the role next week and spend plenty of time in Port Charles.

So, who is Henry Dalton on General Hospital?

Daniel Goddard shares how he got the role of Henry Dalton on General Hospital

While speaking with TV Insider, Daniel Goddard revealed he auditioned...

General Hospital Spoilers gush it’s been a wild two months since production dropped a recast bombshell, bringing Chris McKenna in as the new Wsb Chief Jack Brennan, previously played by Charles Mesure!

Replacing the Og Brennan, McKenna has stepped into the Aussie spy’s shoes with a fresh vibe, stirring up Wsb chaos and Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) world.

But the real question on fans’ minds is this: are viewers warming up to this switcheroo, or are they still clutching their pitchforks?

General Hospital Spoilers — Mckenna’s Fresh Spin on Brennan

Chris McKenna hit the ground running, bringing a grittier edge to Jack Brennan that has people talking. His first scenes — think high-stakes Wsb showdowns and that undeniable chemistry with Carly — set the tone fast.

Fans noticed a shift: less suave charm, more raw intensity. Some are loving how he’s shaking up Josslyn ‘Joss” Jacks’ (Eden McCoy) life,...

General Hospital spoilers for April 7th through the 11th show that Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) exposes Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi), and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) intervenes.

General Hospital Spoilers: Lucky’s Exposure and Ava’s Investigation

Starting on Monday, April 7th, season 62, episode 145 of General Hospital, we have Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) lashing out at Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) and telling her that she went too far and she needs to pay for what she did. I agree.

Also, Ava Jerome (Maura West) shares some information that she got, but she’s also grilling Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) on Monday, who asks her why Ava is asking all of these questions. Remember, at the end of the week, Ava Jerome (Maura West) found out the brake lines on Rick Webber (Formerly Chris Robinson)’s SUV were cut, so she is trying to mull it all over and figure out why...

General Hospital spoilers for the week of March 31-April 4, 2025 tease the celebration of the soap’s 62nd anniversary and honor the late Leslie Charleson.

Here’s What Happens Next On General Hospital

It’s going to be an emotional start of the week for Port Charles when Gh celebrates its 62nd anniversary on Tuesday, April 1. The special episode is set to honor the late Leslie Charleson (ex-Monica) as the hospital opens the Dr. Monica Quartermaine Cardiac Care Center. For 47 of the 62 years, Charleson played Monica, Gh’s former Chief of Cardiology.

Before the big celebration, Monday will see the aftermath of Kristina’s (Kate Mansi) revenge plot against Ava (Maura West). Now that Ric (Rick Hearst) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) became victims of a car crash, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) will receive devastating news about her father.

Jason (Steve Burton) will have a big week ahead, starting with his and Sonny...

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers suggest that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) may intervene if Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) doesn’t end her relationship with Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna).

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Jason Warned Carly He’d Kill Brennan If Anything Happened To Her

Carly has never allowed anyone to tell her what to do. She likes to live dangerously, as evidenced by her several marriages to mob boss Sonny Corinthos and her decades-long friendship with his enforcer, Jason.

Carly and Jack had a deep conversation about their romantic standing in the March 25th episode of Gh. Not long after having sex with Brennan for the first time, Carly drank poisoned champagne and almost died thanks to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

Sonny and Jason can’t ignore that. Jason even warned Carly that if anything happened to her while she was with Brennan, he’d kill him.

Fans had just gotten used to action star Charles Mesure playing Jack Brennan on General Hospital when it was announced that Chris McKenna would take on the role in January. Considering McKenna didn’t have an Australian accent like Mesure, it took a while for fans to warm up to him. But they have, and even his chemistry with Laura Wright’s Carly has become more believable. McKenna’s been having fun on social media lately and recently gave fans a peek into several things that can be seen in the Wsb agent’s office.

He Gave the Nickel and Dime Tour

On X, formerly Twitter, Mckenna shared several photos of him in Jack’s office with the caption, “Welcome to the W.S.B. — We have screensavers from all over the world. We got our chairs from Howard Hughes’ garage sale. We only drink top of the line off-brand liquor.

Jason issues an ultimatum in the spoilers for the Monday, March 24, 2025, episode of General Hospital. Meanwhile, Valentin makes a request of Alexis while Portia and Nina connect.

Next on General Hospital

Jason (Steve Burton) has never liked or trusted Jack Brennan, not when he looked like Charles Mesure, and not certainly now that he looks like Chris McKenna. And after Carly’s (Laura Wright) brush with death in Brennan’s hotel room, that feeling has undoubtedly tripled.

After chatting with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) about Port Charles’s Wsb Station Chief, Jason rushed to Carly’s room and told her that she and Brennan were done. On Monday, it looks like Jason goes further when he issues an ultimatum. In the sneak peek at the end of Friday’s episode, Carly pretty much tells Jason not to give up on her. “You’d never quit on me; don’t start now.

General Hospital spoilers for the week of March 24-28, 2025 tease romantic rumblings and interesting intel across Port Charles.

Here’s What Happens Next Week On General Hospital

The week will start off with a bang when Jason (Steve Burton) gives an ultimatum. This is presumably issued to Carly (Laura Wright) after he outright ordered her to stop seeing Brennan (Charles Mesure). We all know Carly won’t back down that easily, so Tuesday will find her discussing her future with Brennan – could a reunion with Sonny (Maurice Benard) be in the cards? Jason may have other things on his mind later in the week when he becomes wary at the same time Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) is put on the spot. Are they about to actually admit to everyone that Jason is her baby’s father?

More Quartermaine drama will ensue throughout the week as Tracy (Jane Elliot) grills Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over something,...

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers explore the possibilities of who may have blown up Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) penthouse.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Sonny Wants To Make Whoever Set The Bomb Pay

Sonny may feel like he failed his son, Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig), when he was tragically killed in a bomb meant for Julian Jerome (William DeVry). He won’t allow the same fate for his other son, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell)

Sonny wants to make whoever set the bomb pay, as Michael was almost burned to death. He’s now in a clinic in Germany recovering. It’s going to be a long, hard road for Michael, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It’s evident that one of Sonny’s enemies was targeting him and wanted to take him out. But who? At first, it looked like Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) was the culprit.

General Hospital has seen a few actors leave the show in recent months, like Kelly Monaco, Chad Duell, and Charles Mesure. But other actors have joined the ensemble including Chris McKenna, Van Hansis, and Bryce Durfee. Now there’s a new player in Port Charles: Adrian Anchondo. Let’s take a look at the actor’s career and who he’s playing.

He’s Got Dark Secrets

Adrian Anchondo has been in several TV shows over the years including The Rookie, Law & Order: Organized Crime, and FBI: Most Wanted among many others. According to TV Insider, Anchondo is now on contract with Gh and will play a lawyer named Marco (not to be confused with con artist Marco Dane played by Gerald Anthony in the 1980s and 90s). Anchondo told the outlet that while his new character can be “sweet and charming,” he also has some “dark secrets.

Chris McKenna General Hospital (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The romance between Carly Spencer and Jack Brennan has been growing with each episode on General Hospital. Even though Carly is doubtful of his behavior and Brennan never planned to fall for her, here they are. Brennan was played by Charles Mesure until February this year but has now been replaced by Chris McKenna after the former actor’s exit from the soap.

Chris recently opened up about playing the character and taking over from the last portrayer, as well as his take on Brennan’s romance with Carly. He also sheds some light on how their relationship is quite dangerous for the character, as he cannot seem to function properly around her and is always at her mercy whether he wants it to happen or not. Read on for details.

General Hospital: Chris McKenna On How Romance With Carly Spencer Is...

Although news of his exit from “General Hospital” was first announced in December, with his character being killed off after being injected with digitalis by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), actor Evan Hofer has now officially exited the daytime drama series with his name removed from the show’s contract cast list as shown at the end of the Friday, February 28 episode.

The change in status comes as Hofer continued appearing on the series, often in flashbacks and mourning scenes involving Dex’s girlfriend, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), despite remaining a corpse. He most recently appeared in a flashback where Cyrus removed Dex’s hospital band while his body was in the General Hospital morgue.

Making his daytime debut in the soap opera’s May 6, 2022 episode, Hofer’s name had appeared on the contract list between cast members Josh Kelly (Cody Bell) and Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine).

Earlier this week, the...

A recent update to the official website for “General Hospital” sees the daytime drama series formally say goodbye to former contract cast members Tajh Bellow, Chad Duell, Evan Hofer, Charles Mesure and Kelly Monaco, whose bios have all been removed from the show’s meet the cast page on ABC.com.

In recent months, two of the five cast members saw their characters killed off courtesy of Cyrus Renault (played by Jeff Kober), while another two chose to exit of their own accord, and one other was taken off contract, albeit with no formal reason given at press time.

Tajh Bellow

Ricky Middlesworth/ABC Tajh Bellow

Three years after being placed on contract, Bellow is now off contract with the series, with his character, Dr. Tj Ashford, not being seen on screen since at least December 2024.

In a message posted to Instagram last week, Bellow teased an update to his status with the show,...

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) just can’t seem to find a lasting relationship. Fans are eager for the show to introduce a new love interest for her, but her upcoming romance might create a stir in Port Charles.

Nina Can’t Find True Love

Nina has been a fixture in Port Charles for more than ten years. Initially portrayed by actress Michelle Stafford until 2019, the character was then taken over by seasoned soap star Cynthia Watros, who brought a new, gentler dimension to Nina.

Throughout her journey, Nina has experienced several romantic entanglements, yet none have truly stood the test of time.

Fans held out hope for her relationship with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) but it was ultimately built on deception and fell apart.

Their love story began in Nixon Falls, where Sonny, suffering from amnesia, went by the name “Mike;” they exchanged vows...

General Hospital Daily Spoilers: Jason Morgan Going Down

General Hospital spoilers show Jason Morgan’s situation getting worse. Currently, all signs point to him as Cyrus Renault’s killer. Of course, he’s being framed by Jack Brennan to protect Josslyn Jacks.

Gh | ABC

And this week, on General Hospital, things go downhill as he feels the walls closing in on him. After that, Joss makes a choice that will change her life. So, she might confess to killing Cyrus Renault to get Jason off the hook.

Gh Daily Spoilers: Carly Shaken to her Core

While Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) faces murder charges, Carly Corinthos Spencer‘s (Laura Wright) world is rocked.

‘General Hospital’ spoilers confirm that Gh fans are still distraught over Charles Mesure’s decision to leave the role of Jack Brennan.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Mesure Is A Tough Act To Follow

We all knew that Mesure would be a tough act to follow. Those deep blue eyes and Aussie accent were enticing to say the least.

When Chris McKenna debuted on Gh, it was jarring to viewers who were used to Mesure’s (Gh)

Not to mention, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Brennan were finally heating up after a long, slow burn, and they had just shared their first kiss days prior to his exit.

While the kiss was definitely worth the wait, fans were understandably disappointed. They were robbed of seeing the romance develop between Carly and Brennan, with Mesure playing the part.

Wright and Mesure’s chemistry was undeniable, and the spark between them was palpable. Mesure...

General Hospital Spoilers tease Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) is dating Wsb Station Chief Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna).

This pair has had some rather obvious chemistry from the moment Jack first set his sights on Carly. The problem is a new guy is in town playing the role of the Port Chick Wsb Station Chief —- and the fans aren’t so sure he’s the right man for the job, given he’s lacking an Aussie accent and all. But truly, it’s more than that.

Some actors just have a natural pull toward one another, and their shared chemistry makes their pretend relationships come alive on the screen. That’s exactly what happened with Charles Mesure and Laura Wright. So, replacing him has fans worried that this budding couple just lost their stream. Say it ain’t so!

How We Got Here

Jack was a delightfully unexpected character who...

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers suggest that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) may dump Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) when she finds out he’s been recruiting Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy).

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Carly Wouldn’t Approve Of Brennan Grooming Joss

Joss has been trying to get justice for Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), and Brennan has been helping her conduct some vigilante investigation.

Joss has been chasing leads thanks to Brennan and putting herself in danger by sneaking into Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) hideaway house and snooping around.

Carly’s daughter also outright informed Cyrus he was a suspect in Dex’s murder case when she confronted him at the police station.

Unfortunately, Cyrus didn’t seem to believe Joss’s apology was sincere. Joss saw Cyrus at Bobbie’s, and she told him she was sorry for accusing him of killing Dex.

He lurked outside the diner and stared at her through the window,...

General Hospital weekly spoilers find Dante Falconeri getting major news from the Pcpd during the week of February 17-21, 2025.

Also, someone rages while another’s life is on the line on Gh. Take a look at the latest spoilers for the ABC soap opera.

General Hospital Weekly Spoilers: Dante Falconeri Gets Major Update

General Hospital spoilers see Dante Falconeri hit with big news from Anna Devane as Cyrus Renault plans to take another life. This news comes after an update from Elizabeth Webber and Lucky Spencer.

So, the news might be that there’s evidence against Cyrus at last and he will finally go down for his Digitalis killing spree.

Gh | ABC

Dante also brings Lulu Spencer up to speed and she is in shock on General Hospital. Then, her mother, Mayor Laura Spencer Collins gets news that leaves her in shock also. So, this could very well be about Cyrus.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers indicate that the land of Port Charles has been spinning since April 1963, with award-winning writing and acting that has captivated audiences for decades now.

The soap certainly has a huge and devoted fan following; however, due to some action recently, audiences can’t help but feel as if the daytime drama could be on the cusp of cancellation.

Horrible Casting Decision

Gh fans are dedicated and loyal to the soap; however, when a favorite exits (who may not want to leave the show) viewers can lash out by boycotting the daytime drama.

In 2021, top star Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) was released over the Covid-19 vaccine mandate, but the show quickly made up for that by hiring Burton back in early 2024 once the policy was dropped.

Still, as Kelly Monaco (Sam McCall) was let go later in 2024, and as a huge fan favorite, Gh fans have been...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers tease that fans were shocked to see that Charles Mesure is out as Aussie flavored Jack Brennan, and former

One Life to Live star Chris McKenna has been recast, apparently as an American version.

This switcheroo comes in the middle of a red hot dalliance with Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) which is disconcerting enough, let alone to have a totally different version of Brennan onscreen.

Whereas Mesure’s Brennan was a suave 007 type, McKenna presents as Joe Friday. Which is not the end of the world.

Jack Brennan Has Been Recast

We’re all for giving McKenna time to make the character his own. There are so many ways to play a daytime character that no take is theoretically wrong—fans have their favorites and that’s normal.

But as is usually the case, McKenna’s recast has raised eyebrows and brought out the keyboard warriors.

Next on General Hospital

When Brennan (then-Charles Mesure) wasn’t fending off a Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) attack in Baden-Baden, Germany, Carly (Laura Wright) was busy saving his life. Brennan attempted to woo her in return with a beautiful evening in front of a firepit under the stars. But now they’re back in Port Charles, and while Brennan’s recruiting Carly’s daughter for the Wsb, she’s allying with Nina (Cynthia Watros) to take down Drew (Cameron Mathison).

Nevertheless, look for Carly and Brennan (Chris McKenna) to hit the town. So the two are turning up the heat on their relationship and actually going out on a date…in public? What will everyone say? Brennan’s not what you call popular in town.

Like many works of fiction, soaps tend to play fast and loose with reality. Kids are often aged much faster than in real life, like many of the youngsters in General Hospital’s recent teen scene which is gaining momentum. Since it was revealed that Brook Lynn not only got pregnant as a teen and gave the child up for adoption but also Dante is the father, fans have been pondering the logistics of their ages. Now, Amanda Setton has stepped up to give her two cents on whether or not the Dante/Brook Lynn timeline works.

Revisionist History

Setton had a chat with Soap Opera Digest, and the topic of Brook Lynn and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) hooking up in the past being contradictory to the existing show canon was brought up. When Cody (Josh Kelly) came to town and revealed that he and Dante had gone to camp together as kids,...

It was a difficult week for General Hospital fans because of Charles Mesure’s departure as Jack Brennan. This is not the first time a new actor has taken over a beloved character. Sometimes, it just takes some getting used to.

One Two Three Four

Charles Mesure made a great Brennan. Among other things, he was loved because of his chemistry with Carly. But let’s not forget that Laura Wright is the fourth actress to play the role.

Sarah Joy Brown was the original Carly. Fans loved her for the five years she resided in Port Charles, and she won three Emmys. It was hard to imagine anyone else playing Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) wife, but Tamara Braun stepped in and made the part her own.

Jennifer Bransford was the next version of Carly, but viewers did not embrace the actress, and she was let go after a few short months.

General Hospital Spoilers report Port Charles is always a hot spot for Valentine’s Day, but not every year brings a boatload of romance for everyone involved.

Case in point, it marked Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) and Portia Robinson’s (Brook Kerr) wedding day two years back — and if you recall, that didn’t turn out all that happily. All’s well that ends well though, right?

Unfortunately, rumor has it a few key couples on the Port Chuck scene aren’t going to make it through the month. Who are they, and how do you feel about the demise of their relationships?
