More about Charles Mesure's character Jack Brennan on General Hospital

Jack Brennan's character first appeared on the soap in December 2023 and captivated viewers with his interesting storylines. Jack was introduced as the Director of the World Security Bureau and the founder of the Pikeman Security Group.

His chemistry with Carly Spencer drew significant viewer attention. He had several flirtatious instances with her, leading to suspicions of a potential budding romance between the two. Anna Devane was one character who had always been skeptical of Jack's activities involving the illegal gun trade.

During the April 2024 storyline of General Hospital, Jack Brennan and Valentin plotted to try to get rid of Sonny Corinthos, the famous mob lord of Port Charles. In May 2024, he confessed his true feelings for Carly, who struggled to hide the fact that she reciprocated.
