General Hospital Spoilers: Brennan's Death A Done Deal, Or Could Z Be Faking It Like With Cassius?

General Hospital spoilers and updates tease that Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna) will meet his end sometime in the fall, when WSB storylines heat up.

But is Brennan really a done deal, or could Z (John Oliver) be faking it like with Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey)?

Key Takeaways

  • Rumors continue to swirl that Brennan could meet his end this fall.
  • Neither Chris L. McKenna nor GH has officially confirmed Brennan’s exit.
  • Port Charles has a long history of shocking deaths being reversed.
  • Z previously helped fake Cassius Faison’s death, creating a possible blueprint for Brennan.
  • Brennan’s WSB connections could provide the perfect explanation for a staged death and surprise comeback.

Nothing Has Been Acknowledged By Either The Actor Or The Show About Brennan’s Exit!

What seems strange, is that nothing has been acknowledged by either the actor or the show confirming Brennan’s exit, although rumors persist that he leaked it himself.

Chris hasn’t denied it either, however, and still has “GH” and “Brennan” on his social media handles. But that may be because there are still appearances in the can that have already been filmed; possibly, including his onscreen exit.

There are numerous “Save Brennan” petitions to the ABC soap and the network as well circulating; no doubt, Chris L. McKenna is a well-loved actor. But even if a death scene has been filmed, GH fans know that in Port Charles, any “death” can be turned around.

There Have Been Many Deaths And Resurrections-Not Faked, On The ABC Soap

There have been many deaths and resurrections-not faked, on the ABC soap over the years. Anna Devane, (Finola Hughes) Jason Morgan, (Steve Burton) Drew Cain, (Cameron Mathison) and Nikolas Cassadine (most recently Adam Huss) for a few, as well as Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy).

And who can forget how many times Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) “died” only to pop up again like a bad penny, and then there was Jake Webber (Hudson West) too!

Port Charlesites have been resurrected in situations ranging from blown up boats to caved in tunnels over the years, and some unusual situations like the one Drew was in when Robin Scorpio-Drake (Kimberly McCullough) found him.

She was another one who was believed dead, in a lab explosion that covered up her kidnapping!

Long Story Short, If Brennan Is “Killed Off” It’s Easy To Rewrite A Return

Long story short, even if Brennan is “killed off”, it’s easy to rewrite a return-considering it’s predicted to be during WSB-heavy storylines, Z could fake his death like he did with Cassius.

It wouldn’t even have to be onscreen; it could simply be an onscreen mention like when Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) met with Z in Geneva.

Nothing has been announced or leaked, but John Oliver would have no problem reprising Z for an appearance or two-he’s really loved his soap opera appearances!

And if Brennan’s death is faked like Cassius’ was, it wouldn’t be surprising if they worked together. It just seems to be the WSB thing to do!
