Adam J. Harrington to Chat Live on the Michael Fairman Channel
Last week on the August 30th episode of General Hospital, marked the end of the run of Adam J. Harrington as FBI agent John “Jagger” Cates after Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) shot two bullets into Cates’ chest.
Now, Adam will talk exclusively about his time on the ABC soap opera playing the once seemingly upstanding good guy who’s obsession with bringing down Sonny, saw him going down a very dark and twisted path, when he visits You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel for a special conversation on Thursday, September 5th beginning at 7PM ET/4PM PT.
While Adam, may be gone from the show, Cates’ presence will still be felt from the great beyond, as Sonny cover his tracks while others wanted the guy dead. Over the Labor Day weekend, Adam thanked GH’s cast, crew and creatives as well as the fans for going on the ride with him. Harrington first debuted as recast “Jagger” back in February of this year. (The role was originally played by Antonio Sabato Jr.)

Harrington expressed on X, “To the General Hospital viewers and fans. It’s been a honor being in your world, and feeling your passion. To those who have written a goodbye, I’ve read every word and I’m deeply humbled. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Until we meet again … Adam.”

In addition to his time on GH, Adam (pictured above with GH director, Tina Keller, and Evan Hofer) will chat on some of his other television and motion pictures work including roles in: The Lincoln Lawyer, Bosch, Palm Royale, Supernatural. Station 19, S.W.A.T. The Rookie, Dirty John and more. As voice-over talent, Harrington has also received a BAFTA nomination for Performer in a Supporting Role for the character of Sindri in the popular video game God of War Ragnarök.
Don’t miss this opportunity to ask some of your burning questions to Adam and join us in the live chat. If you can’t be with us live this Thursday, feel free to drop a question you potentially want posed in the comment section below, and we just might ask it during the conversation.
I’m disappointed they killed him off. Great looking guy and I was impressed with his acting. He would have made a great love interest for Nina or Lois…
And what happened to the autistic son he mentioned he had? Was this story slated to go one way and change direction when doom and gloom Van Etten returned?
In the beginning, I thought Adam was a great addition to the cast. My issue was that it is hard to think of him being Jagger when the original looked vastly different and was of Italian/American descent. I think most people would agree he would have made a great recast for Jax. He had great chemistry with Carly. I also hated the way he barged into every room and made ridiculous demands.
Adam is a talented actor who was given a character that the writers didn’t know what to do with, so they chose to butcher the character, if he would of been playing another character with the same sonny issues then he would of been a great villain, however the show chose to make him a character that most of us remember not even being close to what we saw on screen, The show this year has been hit an miss both with storylines and returns and actors being let go. It’s really hard as a fan to enjoy a returning character when others are being let go. I love this show but damn this year its giving me a lot of anxiety and its hard to enjoy it.
My question probably isn’t allowed, but what the hell happened? You are Maura West had amazing chemistry and Java could’ve been huge. The sharp storyline change was probably do to the head writer changeup, I am guessing? This was a major mistake on the show’s part. Gonna miss you.
I have enjoyed watching Adam on GH. He will be missed. I would like to know if there was anyone on the show that he wished he could have had scenes with?
Would Adam be up to doing another soap?
I don’t see my question, so I’ll ask again: which is easier- voice over or tv & movie acting? When you came on GH, it was a fresh change, but the direction the writers took Jagger’s character really was a different parallel and I’m glad you were on the show. You are absolute gem. You will definitely be missed.
Would Adam be up for playing a different character on GH?
Was he surprised at the passion of the fans, whether they loved Jagger or hated him, for a soap that’s been on 61 years? I wish they had cast him as Jax or a new character with a longer contract.
When were you informed of the decision to kill Jagger? Was it in the works for a while or did it happen abruptly after the latest change in head writers?
If you had your choice of any role what type of character would you most like to play and would it be in film, a series etc….?
Any chance GH is letting you come back as a different character? Maybe Jax lol. You have amazing acting skills your very captivating to watch. If there’s no chance of return, will you be returning to the screens on a different show?

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
