General Hospital spoilers just dropped the biggest hint on the long-running murder mystery of Austin Gatlin-Holt! After months of speculation, all signs point to one man: Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Yep, the charming ex-WSB agent could be the one who pulled the trigger on poor Austin back in November 2023. Take a plunge to get the full scoop!
General Hospital spoilers: The Dress Shoes Give it Away?
General Hospital spoilers made us believe that Cyrus Renault was behind Austin’s tragic end. After all, Austin was about to expose some incriminating secrets about his boss before he kicked the bucket. The classic case of “eliminate the loose ends,” right? But why did the daytime drama drag out the big reveal for months?
That’s because the real killer might not be Cyrus at all. Let’s backtrack a bit to Austin’s final moments. We saw a mysterious man at the crime scene, and one very specific detail stood out: his dress shoes. And guess what? We all got a deja vu on February 20 when Jack Brennan was spotted wearing similar shoes. Coincidence?
Additionally, Brennan isn’t squeaky clean, as he has a history of crossing the line. Remember when he almost kidnapped Carly Spencer before getting tossed in prison? There’s no denying Jack has a dark side, which is apparent in his treatment of Josslyn Jacks. He played the role of a helpful mentor while subtly pushing her to join the WSB.
Chris and Laura’s Connection Goes Way Back
Now, let’s get to some interesting bits! Chris McKenna, who recently replaced Charles Mesure to play Jack Brennan, has a history with Laura Wright (Carly). Furthermore, their connection goes beyond Port Charles drama because this isn’t the first time the duo has shared the screen!
In 1993, McKenna played Joey on One Life to Live, while Wright rose to fame for portraying Ally on Loving. Recently, McKenna even shared a throwback pic from their early soap days, which got a hilarious reaction from Eden McCoy. “Oh my God,” she commented, surprised by how small the world is.
Back to the real drama, will GH officially confirm that Brennan is Austin’s killer? If so, this revelation will leave everyone on the edge, especially Carly. Similarly, Josslyn won’t be able to process that her mentor is nothing but a murderer. We can’t wait to see how this one plays out because the stakes are higher than ever! In the meantime, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more juicy General Hospital spoilers. What’s your take on Jack being Austin’s killer? Tell us in the comments.
