General Hospital Mentions ‘Frisco Jones’, Could Jack Wagner Make a Return?
This is the second time in recent episodes that General Hospital has mentioned the character of the iconic Frisco Jones, played by fan favorite Jack Wagner.
On yesterday’s December 19th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, WSB director and bad guy, “Brennan” played by Chsrles Mesure was put in his place by super spy Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), when she said, “You think they’ll invite Frisco back to clean up your mess?”
Frisco and Wagner, last appeared on the soap back in 2013 when the character dropped back into Port Charles for GH’s 50th anniversary. In that story, Frisco made a play for his ex-wife Felicia (Kristina Wagner), but she chose to stay with Mac (John J. York). His daughter, Maxie (Kirsten Storms), tried to get him to stay in town, but he bailed. In 2014, it was mentioned that Frisco was the new head of the WSB.

Wagner became soap-famous as Frisco Jones when he burst onto the scene in 1984 and appeared on the series on and off through 1995. But could GH be heading to a major visit from Frisco to add more intrigue to the Brennan/Pikeman/Anna/Sonny story et al?

Since departing GH Wagner appeared on Melrose Place, The Bold and the Beautiful, When Calls the Heart and more.
So, what do you think? Is GH planning a Frisco return, or just dropping names to tease the viewers? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
I would LOVE this!!
As much as a Devil (and most other long time GH fans) would love to see a Frisco comeback, I wouldn’t bet your soul on it.
As far as the Brennan story goes, this all seems like a “bait & switch” from a year long build up with this “Pikeman” thing, a story that obviously was written with Lorenzo Alcazar in mind, and now it fizzles out in about a week with this newbie supposedly being the guy behind all of this?
Doesn’t make sense at all to me. If the snow starts falling here in Hell soon, and Frisco actually DOES come back, hopefully he will be the one to break the news that Pikeman is still intact, and Brennan was never the guy in charge of that cabal. Maybe Frisco might also have some news about the whereabouts of Luke Spencer…. since I don’t think all of these recent scenes of Tracy openly mourning him are a mere coincidence.
Tony Geary is never coming back; he’s way too happy with his life in Amsterdam. So unless they recast, which they wouldn’t dare, I don’t see the point in implying he’s still alive.
I really hope not. Not a fan of Frisco. I loved him as Peter on Melrose Place though
Highly doubt it unless for a week or two brief visit. Jack Wagner busy at When Calls the Heart.
WCTH films 4 months a year in BC Canada
He could come back for 3 months run to GH.
Bring Jack back I loved watching him as a kid and all that I am 60 years old now and I’ve watched General Hospital ever since I was little about maybe six or eight years old I’ve watched General Hospital I guess start watching it was in the hospital when I had my tonsils out and I’ve watched it ever since then bring Jack back I think it’ll boost the ratings right through the ceiling sincerely yours Wesley a Cole of Morgantown West Virginia
You were 21 when Jack Wagner came on the show. Not a kid getting your tonsils out. My aunt makes the same mistake. She swears she coddled her infant son at the same time Rachel held baby Jamie on Another World. Only thing was … Another World hadn’t yet premiered in 1960. Lol.
The ONLY way I convinced her she was wrong … FINALLY … was when Another World was cancelled in 1999 and they put about a Collector’s Edition Magazine. It had the dates on the front 1964-1999.
Jack just turned 64 Oct.
In 90 when Maxie born Frisco birth Year established as June 62.
I know more older fans would watch.
Jack was nominated for a Emmy for GH Frisco for a 1985 Emmy.
After his profane late night Twitter rant criticizing the way they wrote Frisco’s return and exit for the the 50th Anniversary in 2013, I would have never expected to ever see Jack Wagner on GH again. But that was 10 years ago, and literally so many “never thought it would happen” moments have taken place both on screen and in real life, nothing surprises me anymore.
He may not have chosen the best way to voice his displeasure, but when it comes down to it, Jack was right about the way they wrote Frisco the last time he was on. It wasn’t good. It was blink and you missed it. The 50th Anniversary there was just too much going on, too many former characters coming and going, I think Jack/Frisco got lost in the shuffle. So there’s almost unfinished business in that regard, a wrong that needs to be righted, so to speak.
I honestly have my doubts about it possibly happening, but if fences can be mended, and there is interest on both sides, I’d love to see Frisco Jones drop in Port Charles again. I feel like they would do it better this time around.
Lots of Frisco and Luke references in recent months.
It would be great to see them both again. Frisco’s 2013 return and Luke’s 2015 exit story were both mangled horribly by the same person, ReRon Carlivati, and both Jack Wagner & Tony Geary didn’t hold back in their criticism of ReRon’s writing. But the mangled Luke story got ReRon fired (sadly, he’s now destroying Days of Our Lives) so hopefully there’s a chance we can see both of them again.
In Luke’s case, he definitely should be there for Bobbie’s memorial.
Bobbie was married to Frisco Jones brother Dr Tony Jones making her Frisco SIL.
Luke Spencer was Tony Jones Brother in Law.
Frisco and Felicia were BJ Jones Aunt/Uncle and GodParents.
They were Lucus Jones Aunt/Uncle cause Bobbie adopted Lucus.
Tony was Lucus adopted Father.
BJ,Maxie and Georgie were Cousins Blood relatives .
Lucus was also thier cousin as well.
Lucus Bio Parents were Cherly Stansbury and Julian Jerome.
Sam and Leo are Lucus bio half siblings since Julian Jerome was thier Bio Dad.
Frisco was also close to Bobbie at one time.
It would be cool if Frisco showed up for the memorial. But it’s not nearly as important as Luke being there. And Lucky & Lulu really should be too… though I’m not holding my breath that Lulu will wake up from veggieland in time.
Jack coming back would be the best thing ever for GH. He was a very talented and popular actor in the 80’s and 90’s. I think a lot of people have forgotten this. A lot of things left unsaid . I will not hold my breath. They way they wrote this popular character in 2013 was absolutely horrific!
I am not sure why everyone acts like this would be an out of this world, unheard of possibility. Jack Wagner never went on to any major success outside of soap operas. His post GH career was mainly … soaps. He did Santa Barbara, Melrose PLace, and Bold and Beautiful. And he returned to GH once as well 10 years ago.
I don’t know if it is him or the press acting like he is too good for soaps, but soaps have been his main career. Returning to GH would be a career highlight, not a step down.
Jack has apeared in in number Prime Time Movies
Live Theater National Tour of West Side Story Off Broad
1987 30th Anniverary Production.
The Dual Lead Role Broadway Jeckly and Hyde in 2000.
I would rather see them work on building a new generation of characters to move the show forward. I don’t think it’s productive to have yet another grandparent running around trying to save the world and re-create the vibe of the show from some 40 years ago. Enjoy the past for what it was, but let’s look to the future.
Couldn’t disagree more. GH IS those legacy characters and vets. The more they bring back, the better. That’s what soaps have always been; continuity of legacy characters, their families and future generations. I’d take bringing back more vets and legacy characters over the ever-growing Portia/Jordan/Stella/Marshal/Trina clan any day. While they’re great characters, I’d rather have actual GH characters on; not a reboot discarding who and what the show used to be. One of the best episodes ever was the other day when they had Lucy, Scott, Kevin, Sonny, Tracy, Ned, Lois, Brook Lynn, Laura, all in one episode. They are GH; the newer cast is are fine but I feel like I”m watching two different soaps in one show.

Jon Lindstrom and Cady McClain Announce They Have Ended Their Marriage
After much speculation, General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and Cady McClain (ex-Jennifer, DAYS, ex-Rosanna, ATWT, ex-Dixie, AMC et al) have officially confirmed and announced they have gone their separate ways and have ended their marriage.
For months on social media, it was clear that the two were seemingly apart, not appearing pictured in any of each others posts.
Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.”

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”
Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

Adam Huss Makes Another Return to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine
Nikolas Cassadine will be back on your screens next week but now via Pentonville. That means, that actor Adam Huss is back for a visit for all-new episodes of General Hospital.
In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other
The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).
When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.
Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.
What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
