Jason Morgan sure has heard a lot about one Mr. Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), and even Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) have told Jason all about Dex.
Currently, Agent John Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington) has Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) under his thumb. Everyone knows that Jason isn’t one to be played. But Jagger Cates has just the right leverage to make Jason sit, stay, and roll over when he commands. According to GH recaps, Cates has Rico charges that he will gladly use to throw Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) in jail. Since Jason is as honorable as they come, he sacrifices himself to keep Carly out of harm’s way.
According to GH rumors Jagger has it out for Jason because of his history with Karen Wexler. Rumors even speculate that Jason and Karen had a child together. Unbeknownst to Jason, Karen had a boy.
General Hospital spoilers read that jealousy has taken over Agent Cates and it’s all directed at Jason… QUARTERMAINE. Jagger’s girl had an eye for Jason back then, and current climate shows that things haven’t changed. It looks like Jagger has a new crush and Jason is in his way yet again.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that all of Jaggers doings lead a father and son together. Jason and Dex come face-to-face and there’s no telling what’s next.
Agent John Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington) is laser focused on nailing a criminal. He returned to Port Charles with a vengeance, and on a mission to accomplish his goal.
As a professional FBI Agent, Cates organized a covert operation in the place he used to call home. The key word here is professional. However, his vendetta against Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan makes the situation extremely personal. According to GH recaps, Agent John Jagger Cates admitted that he holds ill will toward Sonny. These negative feelings have festered for 30 years, and it doesn’t get more personal than that.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Jagger is here and using his profession for his personal revenge. GH recaps recall that Jagger has RICO violation evidence on Carly Spencer Corinthos (Laura Wright). He’s using Jason’s loyalty to Carly as leverage to make Jason his puppet. Now, Jason is deceiving everyone he loves to protect one of them. Because if Jason doesn’t do what Jagger wants, then the evidence in Carly will be used to put her away. Moreover, the process involves busting organized crime in Port Charles. Specifically Pikeman and even the Corinthos Organization. In order to carry out his FBI operation, Agent Cates uses Jason against his family and friends.
Meanwhile, Carly and Jagger are getting closer. Their chemistry was evident from their first encounter. But things came to a screeching halt when she discovered his history with PC. GH spoilers and rumors tease that despite the reality of who they are, Jagger and Carly can’t fight the attraction. Suddenly, Agent Cates finds himself falling for Carly.
GH spoilers and rumors tease that if Agent Cates falls for Carly, he would lose leverage and control over Jason. How can he hold RICO violations against the woman he loves?
Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) isn’t known for her soft spoken nature. In fact, she’s know for her advocacy for speaking her mind in almost any situation.
Certainly, Carly hasn’t held back a bit when it comes to John, aka, Agent John Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington). She tells it like it is and doesn’t let anything slide. According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, a romance between Carly and Agent Cates could be brewing.
Is Carly Sleeping With The Enemy?
The chemistry between them is recognized by fans and has been a popular topic on social media platforms. GH recaps highlight their first few encounters at Bobbie’s. Their natural chemistry was imminent by their witty banter. Undeniably, something between them sparked.
Moreover, despite Jagger’s deceptive introduction, Carly didn’t hesitate to help the FBI Agent when he was in need. Someone had the sh!t kicked out of him and GH rumors hint that Drew (Cameron Mathison) is behind it. General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Carly and Agent Cates develop feelings for each other.
Will Carly betray Jason?
Jagger is forcing Jason to work for the FBI. Now that we know the nature of his leverage over Jason, the plot thickens. Evidently, Jason is protecting Carly. Not himself, and not Sonny. Therefore, if Carly becomes romantically entangled with Agent Cates, she wouldn’t just betray Jason, but she’d also betray herself.
GH Newcomers Charles Mesure and Adam J. Harrington stepped into a major storyline involving some of the biggest roles on General Hospital. It was Charles Mesure’s role that saw sparks with Laura Wright’s character, Carly Spencer (Corinthos). Brennan and Carly seemed to have hit it off from the start.
GH news confirmed that Mesure joined the General Hospital cast on December 1st, 2023. At the time he was Port Charles’s newest mystery man. His frequent stops into Bobbie’s led GH fans to jump on a potential pairing for the new guy. Almost immediately, l Hopelessly, romantic, General Hospital fan, saw the natural chemistry between Brennan and Carly Spencer. He became smitten with Carly and proceeded to charm her. Despite having been with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) at the time, she seemed to want to reciprocate.
GH’s Brennan Gives Jagger His Name
Eventually, he revealed himself as Mr. John Brennan. But before fans could rally get to know the new guy, his name changed from John to Jack. The change caught fans by surprise so they turned to the social media platform X for answers.
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal the reason behind Brendan’s name change. GH stars Charles Mesure and Adam J. Harrington chimed in as fans expressed their confusion on X.
I told ABC I’ll do GH as long as my name is John. You know, John Wayne, JFK and so forth. Then this other guy shows up, this @adamjharrington who’s arguably more handsome than me. Now I’m Jack. That’s cool. I’m a team player. Y’all are lucky I like the name Jack. Just watch out https://t.co/VeINjG9Lyt
Over the years it’s become apparent that Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) is no fan of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). In fact, the shady attorney dislikes the mobster because of everything that Scotty believes the mobster stands for. It’s safe to say that Scotty and Sonny are not and never were friends.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think that the 90s brought forth some of the most engaging and memorable storylines in Port Charles. General Hospital 90s recaps highlight the current front burner storyline. Jason Quartermaine (Steve Burton) and Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington) were two frenemies who were both crushing hard on the same girl. Eventually, Jason moved on, and Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne) became Jagger’s wife.
Moreover, Scott Baldwin and Jagger Cates have a few things in common. First, they both have decades old beef with Sonny and his organization. Secondly, Karyn Wexler connects Scott and Agent Cates because Scott is her father and John Jagger Cates was her husband. Sadly, Jagger and Karen were divorced, and she has since passed away. Evidently, their disdain for the PC coffee important due to Sonny’s part in Karen’s wild side.
Additionally, Sonny isn’t their only ongoing bad blood flowing through Port Charles. While Scotty despises Sonny and his organization overall (which would include Jason Morgan), Jagger takes issue with Jason Quartermaine. According to GH spoilers and rumors, Karen’s dad and Jagger both have it out for Jason Quartermaine, the Jason Morgan was before having been involved in a car crash with his brother AJ. Jagger has already admitted that his problem is with Quartermaine, not Morgan.
Scotty Helped Karen keep Dex From Jason
Previously, General Hospital Blog shared rumors that Jason and Karen are Dex Heller’s biological parents. Recent scenes brought about various revelations and even some clues. General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Jagger was brought back to connect some dots. Otherwise any FBI agent would’ve sufficed. Instead, it’s Jagger who has returned, and who holds a personal vendetta against Jason Quartermaine. In addition, Jason Morgan spoke of his last and admitted that he doesn’t remember anything from high school. And as we know, high school is the time that Jason was involved with Scott daughter Karen.
As things heat up and Port Charles, GH speculate that Scotty has kept a major secret. Did Scott Baldwin help his daughter cover up her teen pregnancy?
Agent Cates (Adam Harrington) is pulling out all the stops. He’ll whatever it takes to take down Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), just as long as the end justifies the means. That means that he’s willing to lie, cheat, and use people if it means his goal is accomplished.
According to recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors, things between Agent Cates and Anna Devane intensify as he pursues the former WSB Agent for all the wrong reasons. Clearly, Agent Cates uses deception and lies to get what he wants. He started out by approaching Carly Spencer well she held down the fort at Bobbie’s. back then he introduced himself under a false identity, and with false pretenses.
Anna Plays Agent Cates
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Cates strikes again, but this time it’s with Anna. it looks as though John Cates believes that he’s praying on Anna’s vulnerabilities. However, recent general rumors indicate that the jokes on John. It may look like John is playing Anna, but actually Anna‘s playing Agent Cates right back.
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is a wanted man (no pun intended). He disappeared in November of 2021 when a cave collapsed on Cassadine Island. His miraculous return has raised questions about whether or not Jason is on Sonny’s side or not. Is he a bad guy? A good guy? Or is Jason’s situation even more complex than we’ve all imagined?
Agent Cates (Adam Harrington) is out for blood, and he’s fixated on Jason Morgan. GH recaps recall John Cate’s first few encounters with Port Charles residents. Particularly, his engagements with Carly Spencer Corinthos (Laura Wright). Soon enough Carly suspected why he kept coming around. Surely it was to sniff out information on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Moreover, it’s become aware that Jagger’s biggest concern is actually Jason.
Jason and Dex
At first, Cates was deceptive and misled Carly about his indentity. Then shortly after, GH spoilers and rumors hinted toward his involvement with the entire operation. Fast forward to present time and we know Brennan’s true identity. Agent John Jagger Cates is on a mission to end organized crime in Port Charles. Whatever Cates has going on with Jason also involves many others. For starters, Sonny Corinthos. But now more people have been pulled in.
Thanks to Nina (Cynthia Watros), Josslyn (Eden McCoy) knows all about Dex’s plans to kill Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Of course, the orders to kill and not to kill came from none other than Sonny. But Joss wants nothing to do with Dex now that she’s aware of what he’s actually capable of, and willing to do.
GH previews indicate that Jason isn’t comfortable with how the situation has spiraled. Too many people have been roped in and Jason needs a solution. According to GH rumors, Jason and Dex turn themselves into the police. Like father, like son? Will Dex and Jason have the same idea when it comes to making business moves?
At first, Carly (Corinthos) Spencer (Laura Wright) and Agent John Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington) hit it off. They seemed to click and fans recognized their onscreen chemistry almost immediately following Carly and Jagger’s first encounter. Back then he went by the name of Brennan, and Carly and everyone else was unaware of his true identity. As it turns out, Brennan is actually a blast from the past with a new face- Agent John Jagger Cates.
Although Carly may have been sweet on “Brennan,” she has always kept her wits about her. She’s not easily played, even when she’s feeling vulnerable for whatever reason. Now that she knows exactly who Brennan really is, Carly’s guard is up even more.
According to GH spoilers and rumors Agent Cates turns to Carly for answers. But his fixation with Jason Morgan raises red flags. For some reason John, aka Jagger, anger focused on capturing Jason, as opposed to trying to identify the other shooter as well. So, what gives? Many GH fans have expressed their curiosity on social media platforms. It’s possible that agent Kitz has a lot more to do with the situation then he is letting on.
Last week’s General Hospital brought the shock factor to its audience on many different levels. Obviously Spencer and Esme made us gasp, Avery Pohl’s unexpected exit, Nikolas and Ace’s return to Laura, and more contributed to the ultimately shocking storylines.
General Hospital recaps highlight Spencer and Trina’s life or death situation. Their families came together to help rescue them from Esme Prince. While it looks like Esme and Spencer are swimming with the fishies, GH news reports confirm that Nicholas Alexander Chavez will return as Spencer, but Avery Pohl’s exit is indefinite. Now Trina is traumatized after the event and losing Spencer. To be honest, I’m traumatized too lol. I want Esme back! It still boggles my mind that GH took this direction. But that’s for another post at another time.
Anna’s Taken Aback By Jagger
Meanwhile, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) engage in their own life threatening drama. The two find themselves in an FBI ambush as they try to crack a case of their own. That’s when Jagger showed up. General Hospital spoilers reveal that a blast from the past has come back. Those who watched GH in the early 90s know exactly who Jagger Cates is. However, anyone would be confused and shocked by this because todays Jagger isn’t the man who made the role an iconic piece of American culture and Soap Opera history.
According to GH news reports, Jagger was recast with actor Adam Harrington. While Antonio Sabàto Jr. helped create the role over 30 years ago, it’s been reported that Sabato Jr. was not asked to reprise the ever-popular the role. Now, the actor has come out to speak on the subject.
In a now-deleted Instagram video, Sabato Jr. addressed a statement about Jagger’s recent recasting. “I’m being bombarded with a lot of questions about this General Hospital thing. You need to know the truth from me and you need to know the only truth about what’s going on.”
Antonio Sabato Jr. Address Jagger Recast
There’s no denying that Antonio Sabato Jr.’s role as Jagger Cates took the GH fandom by storm in the early 1990s. Certainly, his face became recognizable across the world as General Hospital fans tuned in to see what’s next. Antonio addressed the early starved of the character, and Jagger’s worldly popularity. “At the beginning of my career, I started on a character that I truly, truly adore, that I created with Wendy Riche, the executive producer, and an amazing team of writers at General Hospital back in 1992. I was on General Hospital from 92 to 94, playing a character by the name of John “Jagger” Cates.
Jagger Cates Popularity
I’ve been asked by the fans by millions all over the world, not just in America and in North America, but all over the world, about coming back to General Hospital for 30 years. Now, like I said, I’m doing very well. I’m not begging to go back on the show. This is not about that. I have many careers. I’m still acting very well. I have a movie coming out. I have a lot of things coming out and I’m very proud of.”
Reflecting on his popularity as Jagger, and the irony that he was never asked to return, Sabato stated, “I’ve never been asked to come back on General Hospital for 30 years. The producers at General Hospital, ABC, and Disney, they know where to find me. They know where I am. The fans always ask me every single day, ‘Are you going back to General Hospital?”
Adam Harrington Steps In as Jagger Recast
Fast forward to this week. It’s 2024 and has been 30 years since Sabato Jr. played the iconic Jagger Cates. Suddenly, the news hit fans and Antonio like a brick. He was bombarded with questions from fans, asking about the recent GH casting. That’s when Antonio commented on Jagger’s revival, and the fact that he wasn’t asked to step back into the role. Instead, GH hired Adam Harrington to take over as the memorable Cates.
“They don’t even call him ‘Jagger’. They call him ‘John’ because they know that the character’s only been played by me ’cause it’s part of who I am. It’s my life. It’s a character that is really a big part of, of my soul that I dedicated my life. And that’s what it turned out to be. I gave everything I have to that character and I would still do. So, the truth and the fact of the matter is people say, well, ‘you ruin your career because you voted for this or political or this and that.’ I shouldn’t be hired on my political views. I should be hired on my merit, on my acting abilities because you know, that works.”
“So this is on them hiring a new person, which is fine. They could do whatever they want. But hey, but for all the fans around the world to speculate or to say, you know, I ruined my career and all this stuff, mo, that’s not it. So now you know the truth. I’m gonna leave this out there for you to see.”
According to GH News and spoilers, Antonio’s message was addressed in a now-deleted IG video. Please be sure to check back with us at GH Blog for the latest developments.
