Jerry Jack’s son arrived in Port Charles to claim his daughter. Is Jude a chip off the old block or his own man? Trina was shocked when Heather turned up at the Cat’s Eye. Does Heather mean Trina harm? A General Hospital <\/em>commentary for the week ending October 30, 2026.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Dearest readers, the speculation and theories are over, and the truth is out! General Hospital<\/em> gave us some answers. Britt\u2019s one night stand is none other than Jude Jacks. Son of Jerry, nephew of Jasper “Jax”, cousin of Josslyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thought that Aussie accent might be a sign he had a Jacks connection, and boy, were we right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey Jude <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I liked Jude (Wil Traval) immediately. I think it\u2019s the accent. It’s why I changed the voice on my Siri to Australian male because that accent just does it for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Jude is probably just a charming but lethal criminal like his dad. And who is his mom? Anyone we know? Jerry is in his 60\u2019s, Jude is in his 40\u2019s if he mirrors the actor who portrays him, so who was Jerry with 40 years ago? You got me hanging. If the writers decided to age or de-age characters, or rewrite General Hospital’s<\/em> history, maybe they will make Bobbie Jude’s mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Make It Bad <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

And yes, I know General Hospital’s<\/em> history, but the writers have been playing fast and loose with General Hospital’s<\/em> history for years now, so unless you have been watching for 40 years like me, we can never assume something can\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was someone infertile in the past? Sure, but maybe now they aren\u2019t. Was someone tall and blond before, but now they are short and brunette? See AJ Quartermaine casting. We don\u2019t know how the writers will spin this, but I am excited to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew when Jude and Britt swore, they would never see each other again that they would definitely<\/em> see each other again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever Jude did to Britt in bed that night gave her a personality transplant. She was instantly sunny, apologetic for her bad behavior, and generous enough to bring Eckert\u2019s donuts to work for the staff. He must be one helluva lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Have Found Her<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

But most of all, Jude\u2019s entry into Port Charles is a spoiler for the life of one Phoebe Chase. She has it pretty good right now. Phoebe lives in a mansion with a beautifully appointed nursery, and a doting family who adore her every giggle and burp. She is surrounded by affluence and love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brook Lynn and Tracy are vowing to keep Phoebe there and will not let their sweet baby girl go easily, but we know that Ethan faked a DNA test and pretended to be the father. He signed away rights to a baby that did not belong to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember To Let Her Into Your Heart<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Next up, the mystery of Hudson. Is he just a spy for Jude, or something more? Is he a long-lost relative of Joss\u2019 too? The way Hudson was fawning over the baby, I thought he was the dad, but maybe just a cousin? I was totally wrong about him being the dad. See how easy it is to admit when you are wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Jude is anything like Jerry, Phoebe might have an affluent life, but not the happy, horse stable, rose garden, extended family sweetness of the Q family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Jane and John Jacks are dead, Jerry is a criminal, and Jax doesn\u2019t even bother seeing or talking to his own daughter. Jude is a charming rogue but doesn\u2019t strike me as a tender girl dad type of man. Think Valentin. For all his ruthlessness, he is tender for Charlotte. Does Jude have a tender streak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a Fool Who Plays It Cool <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I doubt it. Josslyn told Jason that her dad warned her to stay away from Jude and that Jude was just like Jerry. If Joss is the super spy she thinks she is, will she put two and two together and realize her dad probably isn\u2019t sailing around the world at all? I feel like Jerry and Jude probably have something to do with Jax\u2019s disappearance. I cannot imagine Jasper Jacks going away for so long without letting Carly and Joss know he would be unreachable for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jude told Alexis that he wanted to be a dad, but that Delilah was just a friend who agreed to carry a baby for him and the fertility clinic would back that up. Do we believe him? I don\u2019t. Because Ethan and Delilah ran away from him and I don\u2019t think they faked that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am hoping against hope that Phoebe gets to stay with Brooke Lynn. Hasn\u2019t she suffered enough? Maybe since Hudson is so fond of BLQ and Phoebe he will persuade Jude to allow Brooke Lynn to stay in Phoebe\u2019s life. After all, she truly believed she adopted Phoebe free and clear. I am anxious to see how this all plays out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pieces Of You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh, dear readers, isn\u2019t Outback such a good girl? Outback has been exploring in the nature preserve, uncovered a hand, and came back to the house with a finger in her mouth for Halloween. Fun! I laughed so hard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of calling the police about finding a finger, Carly and Valentin went out walking in the dark to look for the body on their own. When they saw Jack Brennan\u2019s rotting hand, his fingers looked like a pack of Oscar Mayer wieners covered in moss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week\u2019s previews look as if Officer Joe is lurking around out there and catches Carly and Valentin with the body. That\u2019s not good. Monday should be a wild episode! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deceptive Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Readers, there have been a lot of absurd scenes on General Hospital<\/em> this week, but one of the most laughable scenes was when Lucy and Serena were trying to shame Jason into supporting them over Tracy and Brook Lynn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason has never been a fan of Lucy, and he\u2019s only known Serena for two weeks. Also, Alan Quartermaine would definitely not be mad at Jason for siding with his family over Lucy. Lucy was an embarrassing mistake of Alan\u2019s, and in my humble opinion, he would not jeopardize ELQ’s holdings to appease Lucy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make It Make Sense<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Lucy and Serena both tried to scam Jason, so why would he do them a favor? There was no way Jason would side with them over the Quartermaine clan. Zero. Zip. Zilch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was this scene even about? I think it\u2019s clear that General Hospital’s<\/em> writers are trying to force a Serena and Jason romance on us after their planned Michael and Serena romance fizzled out. I would like Serena much more if instead of being Lucy\u2019s accomplice, Serena tried to be the voice of reason. She does that somewhat when she expresses her concerns but then she ruins it by going along with Lucy\u2019s harebrained schemes anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s interesting to me\u2026 General Hospital<\/em> viewers have begged and pleaded over multiple seasons of different writing teams for decades to let Liz and Jason have a shot. But General Hospital<\/em> never does it! It seems they will put Jason with anyone rather than Liz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Laison to Remember<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Someday when you have some time to kill, go on YouTube and search \u201cJason and Elizabeth General Hospital<\/em>\u201d and watch the old videos of the two of them together. Pure magic<\/a>. Wouldn\u2019t Liz make a great stepmom for Danny now that all her boys are grown and gone? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I am thoroughly enjoying the Dante and Liz scenes. When Dante wiped the frosting off of Liz\u2019s face during Friday’s, October 30, episode, I was yelling, \u201cKiss her!\u201d at the TV.  But ultimately, I would love to see Dante and Lulu reunite. I’ve been waiting for that ever since Lulu woke up from her coma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Rest For The Wicked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The General Hospital <\/em>writers are wonderful at writing tension and conflict, but terrible at writing resolution and payoffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminals never pay for their crimes. Angsty love stories never get their happy ending. It\u2019s just more conflict and chaos. Willow hasn\u2019t paid. Drew hasn\u2019t paid. Nina hasn\u2019t paid for Nixon Falls. Sonny hasn\u2019t paid for murdering Jagger. Josslyn hasn\u2019t paid for murdering Cyrus. Ava, Alexis and Kristina never paid for kidnapping Ric. Everyone just goes back to business as usual. It\u2019s annoying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Ric was held captive and Cody found him, we thought \u201cAha! Finally!\u201d But instead, everyone pretended Ric was on a cyber sabbatical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking News <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Lulu wrote her article about Willow drugging Drew for months and we thought, \u201cAha! Willow is finally going to pay for her crimes!\u201d But instead, Drew denied it, Sidwell denied it, and Willow is still playing the victim for her ex-husband Chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britt warned Willow to stay away from Chase and Willow refuses. Willow insisted, \u201cHe\u2019s the only one who thinks I am innocent.\u201d To which Britt had to sternly remind her cousin, \u201cBut you are NOT innocent.\u201d It\u2019s like Willow has forgotten that she is guilty of everything that she\u2019s being accused of!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Deal with The Devil<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Drew snuck onto the Q property to try and convince Willow to team up with him. He agreed to lie in order to cover their tracks, but good old Yuri alerted Jason that Drew was on the Q estate. Jason burst in and chased Drew away before Willow shook hands with the devil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason tried to give Willow advice by warning her against making a deal with Drew, but Willow is like a feral animal these days and she just went all honey badger on Jason. She opened her jaw and started screaming at him about how the Quartermaines are out to get her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always the Victim <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Does Willow ever think about why that is? Ever? Carly used to love Willow. The Q\u2019s used to embrace Willow. She had a true family with them, and her kids had a happy family. When she was diagnosed with cancer, Michael and his family rallied around her. But then\u2026 she couldn\u2019t resist Drew\u2019s siren song and had to sleep with Michael\u2019s uncle. Yet, Willow just can\u2019t understand why the Q\u2019s turned on her. Girl. Seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Biggest Fan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of criminals who never pay for their crimes, it turns out Trina\u2019s stalker is none other than a very glamorous Heather Webber. Remember that retcon? Heather’s decades of crimes were all chalked up to cobalt poisoning from a bad hip replacement even though some of her crimes happened before the hip replacement. But here she is, apparently stalking Trina? Is Esme with her? Where did she get all the money for roses and renting out concert venues? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If nothing else, it\u2019s a fun General Hospital<\/em> Halloween twist to have an old villain back on canvas, so I will wait and see where that goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Dominican Republic, we saw Chase and BLQ hesitating to sign their divorce papers. I thought, \u201cAha! They are going to refuse to sign and stay together.\u201d But nope. Wrong again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved them as a couple. I loved when they first got close when BLQ was pretending that Bailey Lu was hers — to protect Maxie\u2019s baby from Peter August — and Chase stepped up and pretended to be the dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s why I enjoyed the BLQ Chase montage as Chase sat on the beach in the Dominican Republic reminiscing about their life together. When Chase finally, finally, finally realizes that Willow is the true villain, I hope he goes to BLQ and begs for forgiveness, and I hope she makes him squirm for a long time until she grants it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind Devotion<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I was thrilled this week when Dante suggested to Chase that Willow might be guilty of everything Lulu wrote about. Dante told Chase that Willow might be lying and manipulating Chase. Chase will never believe it, but at least Dante planted a seed into the thick hard soil of Chase\u2019s brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Dante\u2019s warning, what did Chase do? He immediately drove over to Willow\u2019s place to get manipulated and lied to some more. He\u2019s so dumb. For a wannabe detective, Chase doesn\u2019t really have the instincts of Will Trent or R.J. Decker, does he?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrong Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another guy being dumbed down by General Hospital’s<\/em> writers is Curtis. He. Has. Learned. Nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For months Curtis swore to anyone who would listen that Isaiah was the second driver in their car accident (which Curtis and Jordan caused) and blamed Isaiah for Jordan\u2019s scars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Curtis discovered it was BLQ, he did not apologize for falsely accusing Isaiah. He didn\u2019t even have that internal blip of \u201cHow could I have gotten things so wrong?\u201d He basically destroyed his entire life and ended up in prison because he believed a lie he made up in his own head<\/em> and punched Isaiah over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Curtis is falsely accusing Sonny of ordering the hit on Sidwell and is just as sure about Sonny’s guilt as he was about Isaiah’s guilt, and he’s\u2026 Just. As. Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Room For Doubt <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Gio stopped by to visit Curtis and tried to get him to consider the possibility that Sonny may not be guilty. Curtis rejected Gio\u2019s premise and told him he wouldn\u2019t tell Trina that Gio had stopped by. Why? Because Trina would see it as a betrayal and is just as quick to jump to judgement as her daddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonny went to see Alexis as she was one of the few people in his life who hadn\u2019t chimed in to declare him guilty. Alexis told Sonny she didn\u2019t want to know if he was guilty or innocent. Disregarding her wishes, he proclaimed his innocence anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleeping with the Enemy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Readers, what do we think about Justine? Is she really partnering with Drew to take down Sonny, or is she going to double cross Drew? I can\u2019t decide. I know that Justine knows Drew tried to blackmail Sonny while Drew was still in Congress. She overheard Drew do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we are talking about Congress, here\u2019s my PSA to make sure to go vote on Tuesday. Let\u2019s see if we can evict all the real-life Drew and Willow type criminals who are hiding out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Little Magic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Readers, did you see the magic that is Finola Hughes and James Patrick Stuart during Anna’s therapy session? Those two were in some passionate angsty emotional dance together and it was mesmerizing to watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Anna and Valentin picked the scabs off of their ancient wounds and revisited their past, they felt it and we felt it. Valentin finally pried an \u201cIt wasn\u2019t my fault\u201d out of Anna. I especially liked the line about \u201cDo you think 19-year-old Emma would be a match for Faison?\u201d Bam. That\u2019s the age Anna was when Faison started messing with her. These scenes were beautifully written and executed to perfection by these two powerhouse actors. Please add these scenes to your Emmy reel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Reversal of Fortune<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also, we finally got a glimpse of Nina as Agent Baines went to see her and admitted that perhaps the WSB had rushed to judgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can Nina tell Baines that Jack Brennan was helping her and her daughter cover up their crimes? How would that make anything better? It wouldn\u2019t. Jack was right about Willow. Nina would go to prison to protect her daughter, but Willow would not go to prison to cover for Nina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just The Facts<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

What we know: Ava drugged Jack. Drew put her up to it. Drew searched Jack\u2019s room. Carly and Jason searched Drew\u2019s room. Brennan was found floating in the Metro Court pool by Charlotte and Danny when they snuck in a night swim. (I am so glad Danny told Carly and Valentin the truth!) Ava and Drew pulled Jack\u2019s body out of the pool and, as Carly surmised, put him in a laundry cart. Drew and Ava buried Jack in the nature preserve woods by the Q house. Finally, Outback smelled Jack\u2019s body and today claimed a finger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what is missing? We still do not know how Jack died, or who killed him. We suspect, but we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it the pill that Ava gave Brennan? Did he pass out and stumble into the pool? Or was he pushed? Is there another party involved who wanted rid of Jack?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one clue Carly found on the Metro Court cameras before someone took out the security system is that Charlotte and Danny were on the property the night Jack vanished. Good thing Charlotte is safely squirreled away in boarding school. But Danny? Could he withstand WSB questioning? Oh, this storyline is going to get so messy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ava Looks Out For Herself<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed the Ava and Alexis scenes this week. When Alexis opened with \u201cWho did you kill now?\u201d I laughed and laughed because Ava may have indeed contributed heavily to Jack\u2019s death. I would be completely on board with Ava getting a deal for immunity and Drew taking the fall for everything. Work your magic Alexis!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexis Is In Demand<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Alexis has had quite the week. After Ava, Jude Jacks showed up saying his dad Jerry recommended her. Her shocked face made me laugh. And Molly dropping the news that she might be moving away, although I think she and Cody decided to stay. Let\u2019s hope they re-sign their contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six Degrees of Cody<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I heard a few readers say they think Cody is a waste of a character who hasn\u2019t had a real storyline for a while. True, but I think soaps need those kinds of characters. The person other characters talk to, the person who is connected to enough characters on the canvas that they tie things together. Cody is connected to the Q family through his job, the Corinthos family through Dante, the Spencer family through Lulu, the Corinthos\/Davis family through Molly, and the Scorpio family by blood. This puts him in the center of so many orbits, and I think he\u2019s needed just to tie all of those pieces together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do miss Cody’s relationship with James and Maxie though. I think General Hospital’s<\/em> writers should bring Spinelli and the kids back and recast Maxie if Kirsten Storms isn\u2019t coming back. That\u2019s too big of a hole if you ask me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that Jason is out of the mob, he could hire Spinelli to be in charge of cyber security for ELQ and get him a real salary and benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team: Varly <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Readers, as much as I loved the Anna\/Valentin scenes, that doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t still love Carly and Valentin and desperately want them to stay together. It may be the healthiest relationship either of them has ever been in. They just get each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valentin told Carly he\u2019s so lucky because he woke up next to the most beautiful woman and is having dinner with the most beautiful woman and that the night\u2019s not over yet. Carly told him he could have many more nights like this. She should be thankful that someone — probably Jude — bought Wyndemere because Carly had no desire to love in that creepy ass castle where she and her daughter were held captive. Can you blame her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Helping Hand<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Carly told Valentin she heard from Charlotte, and Lulu overheard and started fighting with them, but then Lulu realized (with some help from Tracy) that Carly and Valentin are the two people who might know about Jack Brennan and the WSB. Lulu needs their help to defend herself in the upcoming lawsuit, so she had to slink back to their table and apologize in order to enlist their assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I swear, if Lulu loses her career over this, and Willow and Drew get away clean again, I will scream. But how can Valentin say that he saw Nina inject Drew with the paralytic without incriminating himself? It\u2019s going to be a tightrope for all involved to pin the blame where it belongs without exposing their own secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Will Happen Tomorrow, Dear Readers? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Will Ric and Alexis sit together at Thanksgiving and decide to go Christmas Tree shopping together again? (I love this scene<\/a> from 2004.) Will Carly and Valentin find it suspicious that Drew and Ava were nearby when Jack ended up dead? Will Dante decide to go to culinary school with Aiden to become a cupcake chef? Are Danny and Rocco going to be enemies forever now that Danny saw Rocco kissing his sister, whom he reminded Rocco was also kind of Rocco’s sister, too? Will Outback bring any further body parts into Tracy\u2019s house? (Monica gave the house to Tracy.) Will Leo, Wylie, Amelia or any other remaining General Hospital<\/em> kids show up at Liz\u2019s door for Trick-or-Treat? Will Jordan come home with no scars and immediately get another one when her and her sneaky sister Monet throw down?  And finally, will Lulu take Dante\u2019s advice and actually investigate Sidwell\u2019s story to prove it\u2019s true?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only tomorrow knows dear readers and I will tune in tomorrow as long as there are tomorrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
