General Hospital LEAK: Major Death, Shocking Recast & Huge Surprise Exit!

General Hospital has a leak including some details about Jack Brennan‘s (Chris McKenna) tragic fate, what’s coming for Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms), and another huge exit tied to a current front burner storyline.

Plus, a child we’ve not seen in years, supposedly returning as an adult. We’re going to talk about the latest rumor roundup that centers mostly on casting this go-round. We have a whole lot to cover, so let’s dive right in.

As I mentioned when I shared our last leaks, we got a couple of sources and sometimes they contradict each other. But if the tea is really hot and juicy, I go ahead and I share it. And as always, I want to clarify these are leaks. These are rumors. They are not official spoilers.

My source leaked who killed Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) weeks before Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) was revealed. The other source has released some big stuff. So, their track record isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough that I want to share. I love juicy rumors. So, let’s spill that tea.

General Hospital LEAK: New Faces Coming To Port Charles

Let’s talk first about some new faces in Port Charles before we get into the death, the exit, and the recast news. So, we know that actor Jonathan Bennett is set to debut in May as Joe Fitzpatrick and our source says that he is sent to Port Charles by Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers). Now, there was some chatter that Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons) might have been sent to town by Robert since they have Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) and Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) in common, but our source says that is not part of Ethan’s motive or his backstory.

We’ve also heard that when Robert Scorpio dies offscreen, which we know is coming, that things are going to get really chaotic for this new guy Joe and his secret agenda. We recently reported a leak from our other source that said Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) ends up in Shadybrook. And then our first source said they hadn’t heard it. But they admitted that it seems plausible based on other things they’ve heard. They also said that Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) is definitely back on his own two feet by the summer and facing off with wicked Willow, which also makes sense.

And although Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) is dating Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and keeps getting dropped into scenes with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), the source says General Hospital may pair Elizabeth with Drew again this summer after some big events may clear a path for them. I mean, back in the Billy Miller days, Liz was crazy for Drew. You know, at first she thought he was Jason, but she did really love him and then it didn’t work out.

GH Character Death Leak: Jack Brennan

All right, next let’s talk about the character death leak. So, we’ve had reports from both of our sources indicating anywhere from three to five exits are coming, including several deaths over the next few months, not simply people packing up to leave Port Charles. We’ve been hearing for months that he would be going and our source just reconfirmed that Jack Brennan is going to die.

And again, I say that it’s a rumor, but that is what they are saying. So, we had heard it a while back, but then they said that Finola Hughes pushing for an extended break and getting it bought Chris McKenna some more time in the role of Jack because they had to push the storyline climax on the WSB stuff down the road several months with Anna Devane gone.

So, Brennan is supposed to get a hero’s death and redemption on his way out. And this week, it looks like Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) may give Jack a heads up about Carly Spencer‘s (Laura Wright) affair. Surely Joss wouldn’t do anything to get her mom arrested, but we’ll see.

Non-Death Exit: Isaiah Gannon Leaves General Hospital

Now, let’s talk about a non-death exit. So, the General Hospital leaker said Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) may be out soon. That also seems somewhat plausible given that Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) seems determined to try and run Isaiah out of Portia Robison’s (Brook Kerr) life.

A less plausible I feel like portion of the leak said that Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) or Portia might also be exiting. I mean, I guess I could see a scenario where Isaiah and Portia leave together to get away from Curtis and Jordan, but that seems like a long shot. And the leak also said that Isaiah wouldn’t leave at the same time that one of these other two might leave. So, we’ll see.

More New Character Talk for GH

Some new character talk. Rumor has it we might meet some of Ezra Boyle’s (Daniel Cosgrove) family. I’m sure he’s got an ex-wife, maybe some kids, but honestly, General Hospital has a cast of thousands, so the last thing we need is more randos, but I wouldn’t put it past the writers.

Also, the leaker said Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) may have a tie-in with Ethan. Now, this I really do believe. So, he was raised in Australia, and if you remember, that’s where Justine ran off to after she got that big payday from Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Carly to set up Drew with the ketamine.

The source said Justine and Ethan may have a thing kind of like Rebecca Shaw (Natalia Livingston) and Ethan had back in the day. If you don’t remember Rebecca, she was Emily Quartermaine’s (also Natalia Livingston) secret twin and she was Ethan’s lover and they came to Port Charles and they were looking to scam some people.

Jacinda’s got a shady past, a link to Australia and I could see her and Ethan targeting people for money. And bless his heart, Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) can’t keep a good woman. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if GH set him up for more heartache.

Mystery Kid Returning as Adult to General Hospital

Okay, two leaks left. The recast and the mystery kid. Let’s start with the kid. So, the source said that this fall, General Hospital is bringing back somebody we’ve not seen since they were a child. So, not a teen or a young adult. This would be somebody we haven’t seen since they were a literal child.

So, not somebody, for instance, like Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) or Kiki Jerome (Haley Erin), somebody’s child, but that went out as a young adult. No, they said it’s a kid who is now an adult that fans would be excited to see. So, I sat down and I was thinking, what kids are gone that left as kids and haven’t been back that fans might be excited about.

Brenda Barrett’s Son Returns to General Hospital

And one name popped into my head, and of course, it could be somebody else, but this name popped into my head. Aleksander Janáček, aka little Alec Barrett. Remember him? He was Brenda Barrett’s son. It was back in 2007.

She gave birth during a storyline where Dante was protecting Brenda and her son Alec was kidnapped at birth. And then he was swapped with another kid and then when he was four, Brenda finally got him back. Brenda and Alec moved to Rome with Jax in 2011. That was the last time we saw the kid.

So, at one point Brenda wanted Sonny to adopt Alec and they would raise him together. That didn’t pan out and we’ve not seen Vanessa Marcil as Brenda since I think like 2013. So, the leaker said this child storyline might replace the storyline they had planned for Maxie, which is going to bring us now to the recast discussion.

Maxie Jones Recast Discussion on GH

So, I had heard weeks ago that General Hospital was debating recasting the role because Kirsten Storms was unavailable and there weren’t really reasons given for it when I heard this initial leak, just that she was unavailable. This was before all the stuff that just came out.

So, the rumor said that the powers that be at General Hospital have been talking to Kirsten to see if she was open to basically giving them her blessing to do a recast on Maxie. It’s always better for PR reasons for an actor to say they left rather than, you know, them to be pushed out. And again, this was chatter from before TMZ published that horrible article.

General Hospital: Sad News about Kirsten Storms

The leaker said what’s going on now may be pushing them to think harder about what is next for Maxie. So, I don’t want to dig too deep into that. I truly hope that whatever is going on with Kirsten that it all works out well for her. And of course, you know, there are options to just leave this alone. You know, GH hasn’t mentioned where she is.

They could stage another coma to buy some time to see how things shake out in her life. They could do a temporary recast if they absolutely had to have Maxie around. They’ve done that before. But in the end, I hope that General Hospital shows her compassion. Kirsten said before that Frank Valentini had been gracious in giving her time off, so maybe they will continue to show her grace.
