Sebastian Roché Says ‘Never, Say Never’ on Reprising the Role of General Hospital’s Jerry Jacks
Soap operas are known for back-from-the-dead storylines several times over; especially for the villain you thought was long gone. If the villain is not presumed dead, sometimes they have escaped prison or are on the run leaving the door open for them to cause trouble down the lines.
Such is the case for 1923’s Sebastian Roché (ex-Jerry Jacks, General Hospital). When viewers last heard about Jerry it was back in 2019. At that point, he had escaped Steinmauer Maximum Security Prison in Geneva, Switzerland, the facility where international criminals are sent for their crimes. The moment came back on the June 21, 2019 episode during a chat between Robert (Tristan Rogers) and Jerry’s brother, Jax (Ingo Rademacher).
Since leaving GH, Roche has built a successful career in primetime and movie roles. Now he is featured in season two of 1923, the Yellowstone prequel that stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren and streams exclusively on Paramount+. In it, Sebastian plays the role of Father Renaud. This past Sunday, February 23, marked the first episode of season 2, with every Sunday now through April 13th dropping an all-new installment.

US Weekly caught up with Sebastian while he was promoting 1923, and asked him his thoughts of a possible return to General Hospital sometime down the line. Roché shared, “Never say never. No one ever dies (in the show). I don’t know how many times I’ve died.”
Jerry Jacks first revealed himself back in 2007 as the ringleader of the Metro Court Hotel hostage situation. As Sebastian recalls, “Starting there with that Metro Court Hostage Crisis, which became such a huge thing. I had no idea it would be so big, but in a way was a blessing.”
As to where Roché thinks his GH alter-ego is hiding out in 2014, the talented actor gave his creative opinion: “He’s probably in the Caribbean in some beautiful villa. A bit like (James) Bond. Or somewhere in the South Pacific. But you know, he’s a traveler. Traveling incognito, maybe in disguise. I like to think of him sailing, maybe in some beautiful destination.”

Sebastian revealed that he would be open to a GH return, pending the storyline, and if schedules all lined up, as he is currently busy shifting a bit of his focus away from acting and to more of writing/directing/producing projects.
Reflecting on his time on General Hospital, Roché noted, “I remember the kindness of every single cast member. I came in and I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to have a lot of fun, and I’m gonna experiment with certain things.’ They were so open to that.”
So, would you like to see the return of Sebastian Roché as Jerry Jacks on General Hospital? If so, what heinous illegal operation do you think would bring him back to Port Charles or somewhere abroad? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
Two things to remember about Jerry:
!) He was never in town when his brother wasn’t around. And considering a blizzard in Hell is more likely than Jax returning, they would have to find an excuse for him to show up without his family involved.
2) Jerry was never calling the shots in any of his criminal enterprises. He was always a mercenary working for somebody else. Helena, Faison, etc. (both of whom are here in Hell and not leaving again). So if he did return, they would have to create a reason why he would be working for some other vilain currently in Port Charles, which would probably be Sidwell at this point. Or maybe Brennan, since he used to have an Australian accent, and has been known to use criminal elements to further the “dark side” of his WSB operations.
Having said that… I wouldn’t bet your soul on seeing Jerry anytime soon.
With his niece as the newest WSB agent, we may have just been given the family connection needed.
Could Jerry Jacks be part of the important work Brennan has in store for his niece, Josslyn?
Jerry working with Brennan would make the Joss storyline make sense.
The superior Jacks brother! I’d love a short-term return!
Sebastian did not originate the role of Jerry (Julian Stone played Jerry 98-99). He did, however, take the character to a whole new level. The way he said “sweet Sam” still reverberates. One of the top 10 villains in GH history.
I think IR head would explode. LOL!!!
As it should.
Love to see him back!!! Sedwell & Jasper Jacks… yikes!!!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

Kearran Giovanni Debuts on ‘General Hospital’ as Anna Devane’s New Therapist

If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired

The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
