General Hospital Spoilers: Shocking Hidden Clue Reveals Mysterious Jude’s True Identity?

General Hospital spoilers hint that Jude (Wil Traval) officially debuted during the Friday, October 16 episode, but fans got to know a little more about the man during the Monday, October 19 episode.

The man remains a ball of mystery. However, a recent Easter egg in his dialogue may have given viewers a major clue about who he really is.

Key Takeaways

• Jude made his debut on October 16.
• Britt and Jude share an instant attraction.
• Jude reacts strangely to the name Jane.
• Jane Jacks was Jerry Jacks’ mother.
• Could Jude actually be Jerry with a new face?

Britt Westbourne Encounter

General Hospital spoilers remind fans that Jude will be parading around Port Charles, hiding his true identity.

He was very smitten with Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) upon meeting her at the Brown Dog Bar.

So much so, he not only bought her a drink but also proposed a no-strings-attached “night” together.

Britt seemed more than okay with the idea after they shared a kiss, and General Hospital viewers will watch them officially hit the sheets during the Tuesday, October 20 episode.

As previously reported, Jude’s explosive debut and his attraction to Britt have already raised plenty of questions about the mysterious newcomer.

Who Is Jude?

Since it was announced that Wil Traval would be joining the cast as Jude, many have speculated about which storyline he’d be a part of.

Co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten have indicated that Jude’s true identity will be revealed in the future, so “Jude” may not be presenting himself in an entirely honest light.

During the Monday, October 19 show, Jude and Britt were flirting with the idea of hitting the sheets.

The agreement was that they wouldn’t exchange numbers or their real names.

This is when Britt suggested aliases. However, Jude seemed very uncomfortable when Britt noted that he should call her “Jane” when they landed in bed together.

Jude noted that wouldn’t work and came up with the name “Stunner” for her, while Britt chose “Crackerjack” for him.

It’s important to note that Jerry Jacks’ (last played by Sebastian Roché) mom was named Jane Jacks (Barbara Tarbuck).

Could Jude’s cringeworthy reaction be a major clue that he’s actually Jerry?

Interestingly enough, many fans have thought that Jerry could be returning and that he is Jude.

In fact, another theory suggests Jude could be an unknown brother of Jerry and Jasper Jacks, which would also explain a possible connection to the name Jane.

After all, in 2007, when Jerry returned during the Metro Court fiasco, the WSB criminal had undergone plastic surgery to look different.

Could he have done this again?

The possibility of Jerry Jacks returning with a new face has been circulating for weeks, and Jude’s reaction to Britt’s suggested alias certainly adds fuel to that theory.

Annemarie’s Take

I think Jude’s reaction to the name Jane is far too interesting to ignore!

If the writers deliberately included that little moment, it could be a clever clue connecting him to the Jacks family.

And considering Jerry’s history of changing his appearance, another plastic surgery twist wouldn’t surprise me.

But I wouldn’t rule out Jude being another member of the Jacks family, either. Either way, Britt could be getting involved with a very dangerous man!

Do you think Jude is really Jerry Jacks, or is there another explanation for his strange reaction to the name Jane?
