On the December 5 episode of "General Hospital," we learned the bombshell news that the enigmatic Mr. Brennan is the director of the WSB, and wants Anna Devane dead. We're not exactly sure why, but it involves an '80s mission that went sideways which she was part of, but its failure was blamed on a now-deceased agent named Jameson Forsythe.
If Brennan is actually Jerry Jacks, he would clearly have a grudge against Anna, but it's unclear as to what his connection is to Forsythe. Anna initially believed Forsythe was stalking her, and Brennan had explained that he ordered the man to not only kill her but also steal files she kept about the botched operation. If Jerry wanted to get back at Anna, he could have used Forsythe's own antagonism as an incentive to take her down.
Considering that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) knew Jerry, and was previously one of his hostages, she would have recognized him right away when he spoke with her at Kelly's diner. So, if Brennan is indeed Jerry, he must have gotten plastic surgery yet again, and the two have the same kind of menace in their demeanor. Despite being a soap opera trope, the reveal of Brennan really being Jerry would be thrilling, as one fan wrote on X, "That would be great. Jerry Jax was definitely one of the best villains we ever had on 'GH.' "
Fingers crossed that we're right!
