General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: What are Your First Impressions of Charles Mesure as ‘Mr. Brennan’?
There’s a new villain in town and things are about to get turned upside down for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) as General Hospital circles back around to the looming mysterious ‘Pikeman’ story and who was the target of the shooting at the Metro Court that put Curtis in a wheelchair.
Last Friday, and into yesterday’s Tuesday, December 5th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, viewers were introduced to “Mr. Brennan” who has to turn out to be the dastardly “Pikeman.”
If his portrayer looks familiar, actor Charles Mesure has appeared in numerous television series and film roles including: Once Upon a Time, Castle, The Mentalist, Desperate Housewives, Bones and more. Mesure is also British-born, but moved to Australia when he was younger, accounting for the fabulous accent “Mr Brennan” has on GH.

In story on GH, as Sonny was telling “Mr. Brennan’s” minion, Hume that he would no longer run Pikeman’s shipments through his territory, the guy showed up at Kelly’s Diner with an ominous message for Carly (Laura Wright), although she doesn’t know it.
On Tuesday, in his room at the Metro Court, Brennan is upset that Sonny won’t work with him and tells Hume he plans to stay in Port Charles to make sure the shipments to Canada are ready to go. We also learn that apparently the head of the WSB has taken a leave of absence. Brennan reveals that being the director has its benefits. He then says he got rid of Frisco and he can work remotely and now things are falling into place.
Hume asks Brennan who the intended target is in all of this, and he says both Sonny and Anna. “Brennan’s” goal is to force Sonny’s hand to continue the shipments and more. Meanwhile, Curtis on the case as to who is behind his shooting and more.
So, what has been your impressions thus far of GH’s newest baddie as played by Charles Mesure? Let us know in the comment section below.
I think he is great so far… and I bet 100% that Joslyn’s friend Adam will turn out to be his son !
ditto on that, I bet Adam Is his son.
Adam’s parents are doctors.
Nah…still holding out for Brenda!!
I don’t agree with this because Adam’s folk’s are doctors
He’s pikeman.
No, he told one of his guys that he works for Pikeman. He actually has a job with the company Anna worked for that tried to kill her. He’s there to find the file that Charlotte stole that’s still in her back pack.
Yes I agree with you but I didn’t remember Charlotte stuffing that paperwork in her back pack if so that will be good for the storyline. I keep say he isn’t pikeman,
That makes sense about Adam being his son.
Good guess
How long is this Sonny and Nina story going to continue. I know I should be over it but it’s Sonny and Carly always and forever for me. I don’t even like Carly and Drew. I have been watching this soap since it first came out with my grandmother with Dr. Hardy and Audrey. Long time fan❤
I’m with you. Sonny needs to go back to Carly Drew needs to go back to where ever he came from.
Same here, I attended Luke and Laura’s rape and first wedding. I don’t think they are gonna let Carly and Sonny get back together anytime soon if they ever do now that this new guy is in the picture. I hope they find a way for him to hook up with Carly. I like Sonny with Nina.
Too long
Why would you want to inflict that awful Carly on Sonny again? They’re done. If they had any romantic or sexual chemistry, ( I never saw it) they certainly don’t now. Now it looks like Carly is going to sink her giant choppers into this new guy.
I totally agree. I can’t stand Carly, she’s awful, and I loathe when she’s with Sonny. I like Sonny and Nina. I hope they keep Mr. Brennan, I’ve been a fan of Charles Mesure for years, he’s great.
Oh snap, I didn’t even think about that, you’re probably right!
Yep
I don’t like him
Handsome guy!!
Right? Too bad he’s a villain …..would gave made a great love interest for Anna
Noooooo! Carly!
Yes nice to have another handsome villain to love/hate now that Shaunessy is gone.
I wouldn’t write that piece of crap out yet. Sure he’ll find a way to have Charlotte do more of his dirty work. What gets me is how he was always telling everyone how important family was and he’s using his own granddaughter like this.
I think he likes Carly
I also think he likes Carly and she’ll find out who he is!
He trying to get into Carly to get to Sonny
Ya think?.
I think he may be using Carly to get to Sonny. I wish Carly didn’t have to be force fed into every storyline.
Me too!!!!!!! It’s sickening!
I was hoping Pikeman would turn out to be either Alcazar or Faith Rosco (or both!) back from the dead to get revenge on Sonny. What a fantastic team up that would be. Then again, it’d be a shame to bring them both back when Jason is MIA (no way he’s actually dead), given his history with both of them.
I’m hoping they find a way to connect Pikeman with more characters on the canvas, and don’t turn him into a cartoon villain. GH tends to do well with stories like these, so I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Bring jason back .
Yes,please do.
I don’t want Jason to come back because the only Jason I would want would be the old Jason and he quit because he refused to get a Covid shot so he shouldn’t be able to get that roll back. He’s on a different soap opera now, so let him stay where he is! I was one of his biggest fans and I got the damn shot so he could’ve gotten it!
Let him back with the shot. I was mad at him for that. I miss Jason.
When Jason comes back, it will be the real deal. They already tried a recast, and they had to create some really weird plot points to dig their way out of that one.
And nobody’s going to believe that Susan Moore gave birth to triplets and gave away two of them.
I hope they bring back Jason now. I thought they were supposed to.
If they bring Jason back then I’m gonna stop watching it. And I’ve been watching it since I was 17 years old and I turn 60 next year.
Don’t do that. sounds like your a big GH fan like me, I’m 65, been a long time fan. Drew is gone doing a movie somewhere. Just glad he’s not dead or back in prison. So Drew will be back
I was hoping it would be Alcazar also bring back Jason
Who the hell is Faith Roscho? Did you mean Faizon?
General rule of thumb – don’t ask questions you can easily google. Faith was a mob rival of Sonny’s in the early 2000’s.
GH is known for bringing dead porple back
Jason is MIA, but he is coming back. Not dead
So this guy claims to be both the head of the WSB and the leader of Pikeman? Nope… not buying that. For one thing, they spent a whole year building up this “Pikeman” thing, and the whole story was pretty much tailor-made for nobody BUT Lorenzo Alcazar, and if they pull another bait & switch with this now (like they did with the mysterious female boss of the “Pawtuck mafia” that we’re now supposed to forget ever existed) then it’s just another sign that GH actually WANTS to get cancelled.
Also… we all know intelligence agencies do bad things. I have entire circles of Hell that are full of such people. But they’re also smart enough to leave a layer of “plausible deniability” between themselves and whatever dark business they are involved in. A mercenary weapons smuggling cabal, in this case. So while Brennan might be in Port Charles on Pikeman business, that doesn’t mean he’s running Pikeman. I’m still going with Alcazar for that one…. and I still think Kristina’s new girlfriend “Blaze” is his daughter… possibly a SORASed Lila Rae.
I give up anymore trying to figure out who’s who but I was actually thinking Blaze might be Sonny’s spawn, but from whom? What a mess that would be. I was dying to find out who the Pawtucket female boss was, we know it isn’t the Humingbird Cake lover mama.
They wouldn’t let Blaze and Christina be kissing if they were sisters.
Blaze could be a Sonny and Brenda spawn
I still blame disjointed storylines on the writers strike and replacement writers… but am more than willinf to stay with GH and let it get back on track.
What is the alternative… no show at all, like you mention..cancelled.
And Satan, that would be a sad hell indeed.
I’m for GH getting back on track myself
Wouldn’t this episode still be considered being written under the writers strike dates? Once the actual writers come back, they could scrap some or all of pikeman. Did that what, 13-ish yrs ago. Don’t think this show will be cancelled anytime soon.
We are still seeing episodes written by the replacement writers. You can tell at the beginning of the episode when the credits go right from Frank to the director of that day’s show.
Guessing we’re nearing the regular writers return as it’s been 2 months since that strike settled.
Apparently the preview clips for Friday’s episode have Tracy on an airplane bound for Port Charles looking very sad… so I’m guessing the Bobbie death bomb is about to drop, and that is probably evidence of the “real writers” scripts being used.
Given the usual 2-3 month turn around from scripts being written to taping to airdate, I was expecting they would still be on scab scripts through the Helliday season, but I cannot imagine they would trust the scabs to write in Bobbie’s death. Especially since it has been avoided for several months BECAUSE of the strikes.
After killing Britt last New Years and baby Liam at Christmas before, I would be surprised if they had Bobbie die during the holidays. Thinking it’s more January or February sweeps. Imagine some returns for the service like Noah Drake, Jake Meyer? Terry Brock? and somebody playing Lucas.
On British soaps, it’s almost a tradition to have a big death at the holidays each year. Maybe GH is picking that up, lol!
I think that’s just speculation that Bobbie’s death was avoided because of the strike. No one from the show has said that. It’s far more likely that a) they didn’t want another big onscreen death after they pulled out all the stops for Epiphany’s passing; and b) we do know the story lines were already outlined for months ahead so they didn’t have a way to cram in a major death.
I would think we would hear something about a Lucas recast, even if it’s just for a few days like the last sighting of Ethan, before Bobbie’s death starts playing out.
If they let scab writers make a mess out of the passing of a 45+ year veteran of this show, all HELL would break loose. They weren’t dumb enough to try that.
It was just an awful coincidence that Jackie Zeman happened to die right around the same time that the writers strike began, so the decision was probably made right away to not deal with her passing on the show until after the strike.
And they definitely do need to bring back Lucas for her memorial. Also his namesake uncle… who we all know is not actually dead. Trust me, I would know if he were!
Would Luke “stay dead” if he knew how much the old witch Tracy is suffering. She wasn’t faking her mourning as she broke down crying on the plane.
When they eventually address Bobbie’s passing, it would be highly beneficial if only for a few days to have Ryan Carnes or even Ben Hogestyn back so they can use flashbacks. Only if there’s a long-term plan for Lucas should they consider a recast.
If Alcazar is the hand behind this mess, the gates of hell couldn’t keep him from moving on Carly.
I did like him w Carly
Neither do I
Satan if you don’t like what’s happening on gh then stop watch and don’t say should be cancelled.to many good shows have been canelled already.i figured this new actor had something to do with pikeman.cant wait to see whats next.was thinking might do something to Carly to get to sonny
Why should I stop watching? Unlike most of these Nina cult members who never saw a single episode of GH before February 2012, GH has been airing in Hell since 1978 or so, right around the time the Spencers & Quartermaines showed up.
Hmm 666 reasons come to mind.
First it Adam and it’s Blaze
I don’t know why all these sights are saying that Brennan is pikeman because in the scene in his room when he was talking to his minion he said that he was the director of the wsb and that he was in charge of providing the shipping for pikeman so that right there tells you he isn’t pikeman
Plus yes I’m wondering if pikeman isn’t alcazar as well
He is one Silver Hottie! Carly should dump Drew for him!
I don’t think she’ll have to.
Possibly in business with Josslyns dad Jax
A reasonable assumption, given the Aussie accent. Except for the fact that Jax isn’t likely to ever be seen in Port Charles again, so bringing him into the storyline – even in absentia – would be pointless.
On the other horn… did you notice how soon Brennan ducked out of Kelly’s when Robert Scorpio walked in? Looks like there’s some history there, and it might not just be the coincidence that both have been employed by the WSB.
What’s Jerry Jack’s up to? I’ve read that he’s involved in this mess.
Hope he bumps into Anna and his explanation as to why he’s in P.C.0
I was, thinking the same thing. He and Carly, could be a good couple, definitely better than Drew
Drew needs to go.
YEP!!!
I’ll co-sign that!
Does Carly have to get her gigantic hands on every new male character? He’d be better suited with Anna or Ava.
Ava, maybe. Anna, no. She’s too high maintenance. Everything always has to be her way.
Agree!
Agreed. He and Carly have chemistry.Drew and Carly have none. Let Sonny and Nina stay together. They have no chemistry but really, who cares anymore. She’s needy and pathetic and he always wanted a compliant woman. Now he has one.
Brennan and Carly could be the next super couple, if they play it right, but I think they got rid of him already – idiots
Arrogant!!
I thought this Mr. Brennan was the cat’s P.Js, at first until we found out who he really is, and most likely the one that burned Anna’s house down, shot Curtis, etc. I don’t see him having anything to do with Charlotte, and would bet its still Grandfather leading her into whatever mayhem she causes.
Only been on a few episodes, but I’m loving this actor!! Very convincing, imo. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next with him and the rest of the storylines!!
Not me
Love GH it’s the best. Fast moving & I like that. And what a great idea. Joslyn’s friend could be his son. No wonder the kid is messed up.
I don’t Like him at all !!!!!
I hope he is somebody who can make Sonny think twice. Sonny thinks his shit doesn’t stink. He needs to be knocked down a peg or two.
Sonny doesn’t need to be knocked down or anything!!!!!! Sonny is the man, & he gets shit done!!!!!! Love my Sonny!!!!!!! Cyrus Renault, is the one who needs to be knocked down a peg or two, not Sonny!!!!!! I absolutely love Sonny, and I love Jason when he was on there!! Sonny & Jason, are unstoppable!!!!!!!! Love em both!!!!!! ❤❤
I love him. He’s very handsome and has this smile that is very sexy. Can’t wait to see where this story is going. He’s definitely connected to someone already on the canvas. Not sure who that is yet.
Looks don’t make a good actor for the show
I don’t like him. He is so shady and up t no good
Been a fan since his Archangel Michael days on Xena and Hercules. I think he’s a great actor and villain. He’s definitely eye candy! Wonder which lucky lady will melt the handsome villain’s heart??
He reminded me of a Armand Assante? I think he will turn out to be Adams Dad. And maybe kidnap Carly or Joss to get Sonny to cooperate with his dealing.
Good so far! But he won’t bring our Sonny down. Hell no!!
I think yet he will be Adam’s dad.
It’s too bad he’s a bad guy. GH needs new blood. They just keep regurgitating old actors into new roles. Enough. Here’s to hoping they at least write something watchable.
I agree. Let’s hope they don’t riun him the way Julian Jerome was… painted into an unredemable mess.
Absolutely Do Not Like Hime At All. He Is As Most Mobster Type Guys , Concieted and Obnoxious in Which I Hope Sonny And Anna Take Care Of Quickly and He’ll Be Gone !!!!!!!
You do know that Sonny is a mobster . Conceited and obnoxious.
I love him , so mysterious and handsome….and yes I agree, I think he’s Adams dad too. Carly was intrigued by him as well. Cant wait to see how this all plays out and I hope the wtiters do good with his storyline and hes on for a long time.
ITS GOOD TO SEE A FRESH FACE NEW AND INTERESTING STORYLINES ✌️✌️
Can’t remember where I read this, but someone was saying they think this guy might be Jerry Jax with plastic surgery…..Isn’t Jerry Jax dead??
That’s just someone rehashing old storylines from 15-20 years ago. Wasn’t Jerry on the lam somewhere after the water contamination plot?
Jerry has never been in Port Charles when his brother wasn’t around, so it seems unlikely that he would show up now. Also unlikely that he would have plastic surgery AGAIN.
Jerry would also never be the head of the WSB under any circumstances. Or the head of Pikeman for that matter. He was always the mercenary for hire type, not the guy who was actually giving the orders.
I read that also, and even if they changed him physically, it would be a miracle to change his obnoxious and disgusting personality to someone who acts human. No way in hell could I ever believe this suave, distinguished man is Jerry Jacks.
Handsome!
I don’t like him he’s arrogant. Sunny needs to take him out.
Mr Brennan, aside from his accent, has joined about 4 or 5 who don’t speak up clearly. Sorry guys but it is frustrating.
This! I don’t understand half of what he says. Sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles
I do t like the Pokémon WSB story at all!
Don’t mess with my Sonny. When are you going to reveal what Nina has done sick of waiting
Me too! Get rid of her! Get rid of Drew too! Great for Carly love interest. She needs a real man playing her love interest! That is not Drew, no chemistry there.
What has Nina done exactly? Report a crime?
He’s certainly handsome and we already know Carly has a thing for men with sexy accents!
He’s a smooth operator
I feel the evil one needs to be laid to rest fast by the hands of our Port Charles beloved ones he’s trying to take down ASAP!!! These writers are out of control now and I have been watching this show longer than fourty years and it’s had better writers in past days!! Bring back writing like that please! Now we cringe our teeth and have anger towards the network
Seriously, anybody got Bob Guza’s number??
Some people accused him of “playing favorites”, but at least he could write coherent storylines. Well, except for that Balkan mess, which is what got him fired, but he’s had 12 years to recover from that. I’m sure he could come up with some new material by now.
Valentini would never work with Guza.
While he could write some blockbuster stories, Guza wrote off too many Quartermaines and had the mob front and center for too long. To his credit, he paired Robin & Patrick. To his detriment, he kept certain secondary characters (Courtney) around way too long.
If Frank wants to keep GH on the air, surely he knows something has got to change, and that must have something to do with why he let Roger Howarth go. There are some other post February 2012 hires that should be next up for that.
But the storylines are pretty much dragonshit right now. Guza’s got a proven track record (as I said, outside of that Balkan mess) so why not give him a shot? Even the GH veterans seem to like Frank as a producer, so I’m sure they would be able to answer any questions he might have about working with Guza, if he had any doubts.
Most of the veterans were written out (or in some cases played against character) under Guza. By the end of his run, Tracy and Edward were the only Qs living in the mansion (unlike her current situation, LC was available but they chose not to use Monica). Ned, Bobbie and Felicia were exiled – the later only brought back temporarily for the poor decision to kill Georgie. The only veteran who might praise Guza would be Benard.
Some of that may have been more dictated by Phelps, but the head writer can think of more creative ways to write off characters.
I know he’s a criminal but I wish he wasn’t. He and Carly have off the chart chemistry. Maybe he can be reformed and Drew can dissappear while on his trip.
This!!
Well so is Sonny! But he is not for Carly anymore. Better for Nina
I have been watching g this show sense 2969..54 years!
No. Couple him with someone with class like Anna. Honestly, I haven’t seen this current Carly enjoy chemistry with anyone.
This guy is way sexy! As a long long soap addict. You can give him a good and bad side. Give him a couple of redeeming qualities and he’ll be great addition.
On another casting note. BRING BACK ROGER HOWARTH!!!
Come on, you’ve already brought him back as Austin, never a mention to his resemblance to Franco. Lol. You could turn this into a gimmick as good as Liesel’s reformation along with her show tunes! Bring him back as someone else entirely or a long lost Quartermaine triplet….after all everyone knows Heather is crazy. Or maybe Austin had a twin. They do run in the family. Lol. Think about it. You could have him be the guy that always gets killed. It could be so much fun.
But keep the new guy for the long run for sure.
And PLEASE bring back Roger. Talk about redeeming. I’ve loved his acting since OLTL.
OH and let’s pair up Cassie DePaiva with Micheal Knight again. That was fun.
Thanks!
Oh my brother used to work for ABC Daytime. He also did the Olympics and other stuff. He was Good Morning America’s business manager for 20 years. He’s passed now, but I know ABC Daytime.
I think this is going to be another long draging story.
Think he gonna keep going to see Carly
I hope so!!! Way better for Carly. She needs a real MAN in her life!!
I don’t care about this storyline at all. They ought finish up the other 11 open story lines that never have an ending before they shove a new one at us!
I think he is sexy as hell and I hate you’re making him the bad guy because he would’ve been the perfect match for Carly. They would make a superb Power Couple. If possible try to make that happen. Drew isn’t in Carly’s league, plus Carly needs a Bad Boy!
I agree totaly!
I don’t like this story line .GH got too many stores line going now that it’s getting boring . GH has being on the air so long that the writers are loosing track of the show .I have been watching GH long time.
.
Like the new character
PLEASE DONT include Sam in this storyline. Wish she would move to Australia and never come back! Can’t stand her acting.
I think he should go
This story line sucks
Move on now
Let us get to Carly / Nina cat fight
Totally! Am with you 100 %!!
I very much dislike all of these mystery/gang/WSB storylines. But that is what the ff button is for.
Oh my God time for a real cold shower.Can he join me?????❤
I can’t stand sonny and Nina ugh they don’t belong together now a storyline would be tj sleeping with Christina and getting her pregnant oowee the drama that will be
I think he is handsome and sexy as HECK. I wouldn’t mind running into him at Kelly’s .
Why does everything keep saying he is pickman because the conversation he had with his minion was that he was the one helping pikeman to ship their arms through port Charles and that yes he is the head of the wbs but pikeman has not be revealed yet
Not a fan of of this storyline. It would be fine in a Jason Bourne film, but this is General Hospital. A soap I’ve watched for over 40 years. There’s a feel and an energy and a certain romantic atmosphere those of us that are long time viewers have come to associate with and expect from this soap. But ever since the writing staff changed it hasn’t been the same. Getting rid of Jason was a bad mistake. And the interactions between the main characters who remain it’s just not the same. For newcomers watching it may be entertaining. But for us old viewers you can tell the difference. The return of Jason would send ratings through the roof because long time fans would return. Just a suggestion.
My first impression was where else on tv have I seen this actor before. Looks so familiar.
Yummy. 5 Thousand Times more CHEMISTRY with Laura Wright, then Miscast Cameron(great guy/but it’s not working). I hope they have built in some kind of ‘out’ with him, story wise, because
I would keep him long term.
I think he is very classy and he has a quality of you like him but he has a untrustworthy way but in the end of the day he will end up doing the right thing but it will be done his way

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.
