Chris McKenna is reportedly exiting General Hospital this fall, with his character Jack Brennan, the WSB bureau chief who has been central to Port Charles's espionage storylines for the past year and a half, set to be killed off as part of an expanding World Security Bureau narrative. McKenna joined the show in February 2025 as a recast of the Jack Brennan character after Charles Mesure abruptly left the role. The character also survived a paralysis storyline after being accidentally injected with a drug meant for Valentin Cassadine. The reported exit arrives as General Hospital is in the middle of a significant casting shuffle. It is a long professional relationship that is reportedly coming to an end.
