General Hospital Spoilers report fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Jasper ‘Jax’ Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) to Port Charles. Jax has been absent from the soap opera for quite some time due to a legal battle with ABC Disney. However, with the lawsuit now coming to an abrupt close, there are rumors swirling that Jax is making his way back to catch up with his daughter, Josslyn ‘Joss’ Jacks (Eden McCoy). But here’s the twist: Joss is currently dating Dex Heller (Evan Hofer), Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) right-hand man. This raises the question: Would Jax approve of Dex? We know what you’re thinking.
General Hospital Spoilers — Jax Jacks And Joss Jacks Will Need To Catch Up
When Jax left town, he left behind a complicated web of relationships. He had lied to Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) about Sonny being alive, causing serious tension between them.
Additionally, his friendship with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) was strained after he tried to force her to come clean about her relationship with “Mike” on the heels of having kept the truth about her daughter, Nelle Benson Jerome (Chloe Lanier) from her.
Since his departure, Jax’s character has been treated as though he never existed, and fans haven’t looked upon that favorably. During his time away, much has changed in Port Charles.
Joss has grown up and gone off to college. She ended her second serious relationship and started one that is more serious than a boyfriend with cancer or a childhood sweetheart.
Will she forgive her dad for steering clear of his home base while she was struggling so much with young adulthood?

One of Jax’s biggest concerns would likely be the influence of Dex’s association with the mob on Joss’ life. Jax has seen firsthand the dangers and risks that come with being involved in Sonny’s world.
Throughout her childhood, Joss was in constant danger because of his criminal business dealings, and Jax went to great lengths to protect her from that life. Joss, on the other hand, has always been adamant about wanting nothing to do with that life as an adult.
However, her recent relationship with Dex, who is deeply entrenched in that world, will raise red flags for Jax. He would undoubtedly struggle to make sense of his daughter’s choices and would likely disapprove of her dating someone involved in organized crime.

However, his involvement with the mob puts him at constant risk, which is a cause for concern for anyone who cares about him, most certainly her father.
Will she be able to convince him to see the good in Dex, or is Jax going to be blinded by his preconceived notions about mob men? After all, he’s known a few. Stay tuned for more GH news and updates so you don’t miss Jax’s big return to Port Charles.
