GH’s Charles Mesure on the Future of a Carly & Jack Brennan Romance and if Jason Will Work Alongside the WSB Port Charles Bureau Chief
Since his arrival to General Hospital, Charles Mesure (Jack Brennan) had quickly become a fan favorite. The actor who has an impressive list of credits from primetime and motion pictures recently revealed he was reticent about even auditioning for the soap opera, what he thinks Brennan’s future might look like with Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), and if Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Jack could cohabitated in working together on assignments for the greater good.
Mesure spilled some tea and offered his thoughts in a sly manner (what else what might one expect for the actor who plays the clever Jack Brennan) in an all-new episode of the Daily Drama podcast, hosted by his GH co-stars, Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson.
Speaking on working with Laura Wright and the burgeoning Carly and Jack romance, Mesure relayed that he thought his days as a leading man were long gone before he nabbed his role on GH, “I thought I was 10 years long gone from being a romantic leading man. I knew that starting in about 2016, I’d started to have trouble remembering lines just because I’m middle-aged now, you know, and so the idea of learning massive amounts of dialogue and being a romantic leading man for someone who looks like she just won Wimbledon for God’s sake. That is so what I don’t want to be doing at this point in my career, you know. I’ve been doing mentor roles and character roles and an antagonist for 10 years now.”

However, Laura Wright was such the pro in his audition, that Mesure found the whole soap ‘thing’ eventually enticing, “She was so ridiculously good, so present. The tiniest thing I did, she would pick it up and run with it. I thought, ‘Wow! Again, totally against my better judgment, I think I’d really like to work with her and that was it.”
As for the Jack and Carly relationship, all Mesure added was, “There’s nothing to indicate anything else other than that Jack likes Carly. Moving forward, who the hell knows?”

Previously, GH teased that Jason and Brennan might actually need to work on the same side, which could be intriguing given the entire confusing Pikeman saga,. While Burton noted that Brennan tried to recruit Jason for the WSB, Mesure shares their is definitely a future proposition of working together down the line.

Charles expressed, “Carly has spoken very highly of Jason as being on an honorable dude and they have a mutual loyalty.” He dded, “Jack was impressed by that and Jack is in the business of saving lives … if you truly believe in justice then having a dude like Steve Burton (Jason) would be good (to have around.)”
So, are you all for a Brennan and Carly to move their attraction forward to a full-fledged romance? Do you want Jason to join forces with Brennan at some point? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
No. Carly and Sonny need to get back together.
No, they don’t. I’m totally down for Carly and Brennan to get together. Let’s do it.
Oh, No!!! Brennan and Carly…it’s the best chemistry Laura Wright has had with anyone since Jax. Love Charles Mesure!!!
Totally agree! And Brennan being with Carly means we will see more “Jack”. I am all for it.
Brennan and Carly all the way, he suits her perfectly and Joss likes him and he her.
kind of like their chemistry and he is a very good actor
Brennan is my new favorite and he is a keeper. Love to see him with Carly – at least for a while as we know it will never last due to the Jason/Sonny factor. It also keeps “Jack” on the show at least a few times a week.
Keep this smoldering sexy guy on the front burner with Carly – the writers need to bring in a few twists to his background first like family tragedy or kids – something that makes him a bit more human. “Jack” is not the bad guy the show has been portraying him as. Anna sure has an attitude about Brennan and that will more than likely lead to a triangle with Valentine.
That smile and the twinkle in his eyes get me every time; he’s gorgeous!
Yes! Carly needs a new man. Sonny is old news.
That Charles Mesure fella is a very, very ruggedly handsome man. YEAH!!!!!
Charles Mesure could have chemistry with a wall Keeo his sexy self in the front storyline
Totally want to see Carly and Brennan together!!!! The CHEMISTRY is off the charts and Charles Mesure is SO AMAZINGLY HOT!
Hell, YES!!! ALL FOR Carly & Brennan…!!! Can’t help it-I remember him as St. Michael the Archangel (on Xena) & he was SOooo Damn Good & Lordy!! LOVE the MAN. And, Carly has ALWAYS been my Fav. That said-their chemistry sizzles!!! Really hope they become THE couple on GH!!!
YES YES I’M ALL FOR BRENNEN AND CARLY GETN TOGETHER
I love Jack and Carly! They have awesome chemistry and have great banter! Finally a sexy couple worth watching!
I love the chemistry between Carly and Jack Brennan. Carly needs a strong leading man to keep
Her in line, but one who admires her strong independence
Absolutely & most definitely want Carly and Brennan romantically
together. They make a beautiful couple. The chemistry is through the
roof. Great, great acting – so believable. Love them now & forever. I
would love for Jason to join Brennan in the WSB.
Laura and Charles are about the same age.
I just read a story that Charles married his long time girlfriend last week, then another line that said it was false.
i hope his home wasn’t in the fire!
I’ve liked Jack from the start, when Carly first caught his eye at Bobbies. I just hope he doesn’t turn out to be a bad guy and Carly doesn’t lead him on, just to dump him for Jason or? As others are saying ,the chemestry is great, which he seems to have with every female, even Joss. Look how quickly she took to him. He’s got that flirty gleam in his eyes, that’s irresistible. I hope it works out for them.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
