GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jack Brennan Stays Put In Port Charles: Are You Down for Him Romancing Carly?

By Michael Fairman

Jack Brennan’s (Charles Mesure) story will continue on GH, now that he is out of the slammer and has become the new chief of the Port Charles bureau of the WSB, much to the chagrin of police commissioner, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).

While the reason behind his installation into this newly revealed position seems quite ‘sketch,’ this opens the door for Jack to pursue his romantic feelings for Carly (Laura Wright), unless he is “working” her as well for some other goal.

However, on Monday’s August 12th episode of the ABC soap opera, Anna also figures out it was Jack who destroyed/deleted the incriminating evidence that had Carly in court on RICO violations during her ‘short’ tenure as head of the Corinthos clan in a meeting with the ‘five families.’

Once Jack moved into a room at the Metro Court Hotel, he invites hotel owner, Carly, for a drink were she learns that Jack is staying in Port Charles and is intrigued. When the discussion leans into how is it that he got out of jail, Anna arrives, and breaks up what could have been what the show has been teasing for months, the attraction between Jack and Carly.

Carly hasn’t had a definitive romantic interest since her break-up with Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), following the dissolution of her marriage to Sonny (Maurice Benard). Do you think Jack should be the new man for Carly, or do you think the pairing ultimately will not stick?

Viewers were happy to learn a few months back that Charles Mesure was added to the credits and is on contract with General Hospital.  How the current new head writing team tries to make sense of Jack’s presence in Port Charles, and how they craft this potential budding romance with Carly, is something fans of the show will be watching and taking stock of.

So, are you for a Brennan/Carly romance? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

Carly and Jack are smokin hot!!
Let the romance begin.

Love Charles and glad that #1, his character will be sticking around, and #2, the WSB will have a continuing presence in PC. Jack’s such a delightfully gray character with a myriad of agendas. Would rather see him remain aloof than paired with the increasingly tiresome Carly. Perhaps they can build something with his prior relationship with Anna.

Yes definitely

Wow! What a turn of events. I was very surprised when he stated he was staying in PC. His true motivation remains to be seen. And yes, this would be an interesting pairing.

NO! Put him with Anna. Now that would be pure fire!

Glad to see Brennan staying. He is a more charming, Jerry Jax. Drew belongs with Willow. They are hot and cannot wait to handle each other. Sorry Sasha, looks like you are stuck with Michael! As for the horse whisper, let him ride out of PC! He never fit the bill and he is a con!

Wright has more chemistry with Mesure than she ever had with Mathison or even Benard. Must be the Aussie accent as she and Ingo had great chemistry from the get go. Luckily, Mac dropped his accent or Carly might’ve gone after him, too.

Would it be wrong to fade out WSB and other far fetched plot points? I’d think there might be plenty of drama in the hospital, with maybe a focus on other areas of Port Charles… university, media, government, big business?

Nah. I LOVE the WSB. I miss the glory days with Robert, Anna and Sean and their spy antics. I think the WSB gives the show a spark.

100% down with it.

Yes to Jack and Carly, and no to the British Stone Cold, known as Anna!

Sonny and Carly are total Endgame, It doesn’t matter if they have chemistry with other people because one way or another they’ll always end up back together.

GH fans are up for anything Brennan!

Pair him with Carly (that will eventually fizzle out) then a love triangle with Anna and Valentine – we can all see a mile away.

Pair him with anyone – we don’t care – just keep him.

I’m interested in seeing Brennan stick around and to learn what he’s really up to. I like Laura Wright but I don’t know who Carly is compatible with. I haven’t been wowed by any of the pairings I’ve seen her in yet. Carly places Jason above all other human beings anyway so it all feels moot.

They are smoking hot!!!

But I’m still hoping for Carly and Jason. They are hotter.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Cullum Kidnaps Obrecht as Britt’s Replacement to Finish Faison’s Final Project

Published

By

WSB director Ross Cullum is truly as despicable villain as they come, and played with steely intensity by Andrew Hawkes. For the double agents latest crime, you need to look no further than the Friday, June 5 cliffhanger of General Hospital, where in the episode’s final moments he sneaks up on an unassuming Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) after hiding in the back seat of her car.

Next, he chloroforms her with his intent clear. He plans on forcing her to finish the last leg of Faison’s final project at Wyndemere, since her daughter Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) left town with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in tow to get away from Cullum!

In what led to the kidnapping, Cullum had a terse conversation with his business associate and co-conspirator on the project, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). It is Sidwell who is preoccupied with wanting to bring Marco’s killer to justice (not knowing it’s the man right in front of him!). Sidwell told Cullum if bringing Marco’s killer to justice wasn’t a priority for the WSB director, then why should protecting Cullum be a priority for him?

SIDWELL VS. CULLUM

The two finally put aside their differences as they have to complete Faison’s final project for it will be highly lucrative for them, useful for their mutual gains, and groundbreaking. In order to do that they need a great mind with a scientific background to finish it up and get them to the finish line since Britt as disappeared.

Later, outside of “General Hospital,” Obrecht is headed back to her car after searching Britt’s office for any clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. But when she got in the car to drive away, that’s when the aforementioned Cullum strikes!

BROOK LYNN GETS ADVICE FROM A FORMER ADULTERESS

In other key developments, after Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) keeps inserting herself into Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) life, all with the seeming pretense to pay back Chase for helping her clear her name at the trial, and standing by her, she brings good news in person about baby Phoebe’s adoption to Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) law office to Chase. Once Brook Lynn heard Chase was on her away over with paperwork, she decided to hightail it out of there for an “emergency” appointment for Deception.

As we come to find out, Brook Lynn meets up with Lucy (Lynn Herring) at the Metro Court pool, She then proceeds to inform Lucy about Willow sniffing around he husband. Lucy says she knows a thing or two about being an adulteress. Brook Lynn wants Lucy to help her send a clear message to Willow to stay away from her husband, or else!

Now below, check out the scenes before Obrecht was kidnapped where she visited Willow, Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) and suspects Willow is up to no good.

Then let us know, with Lucy taking Brook Lynn under her wing, what plot do you think the two will come up with against Willow? What do you think will happen to Obrecht? With Lucas also at Wyndemere trying to bait Sidwell into an attempted murder charge, will he winds up thrown in the secret room with Josslyn?
