Overview
- Soap Opera Network reported on Thursday that Chris McKenna is exiting General Hospital and that his character Jack Brennan will be killed, a claim echoed by other outlets but not confirmed by ABC or McKenna.
- McKenna stepped into the Brennan role in February 2025 after Charles Mesure left and publicly confirmed a contract with the show in August 2025.
- Recent storylines in which Carly secretly recruited her daughter Josslyn as a WSB agent and plotted with Valentin Cassadine are cited by reporters as narrative motives that would feed a murder plot.
- EntertainmentNow named Anna, Willow, and Valentin as possible suspects if Brennan is killed and suggested Valentin or Jason as likely candidates to lead the Port Charles WSB.
- The report arrives after several July cast changes on the series and, if verified, would reshape ongoing plots and raise immediate questions about WSB leadership and character fallout.
