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.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

FINOLA HUGHES RETURNS

The final moments of the teaser promo reveal Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France. We have not seen her for months after Cullum, Sidwell and Pascal fed her hallucinogenics to make her believe her arch nemesis, Cesar Faison was alive!

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

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

Published

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.
