A Jacinda Comeback? ‘General Hospital’s’ Paige Herschell Drops Hints About a Return

General Hospital fans were crushed last month when Paige Herschell departed the soap after Jacinda Bracken left town in shame, but with a very hefty bank account.

Herschell, who joined the cast for what was just supposed to be a handful of episodes in 2025, was thrilled that her call girl character turned into something more over the course of a year and a half.

“It was supposed to be about three, four episodes and it just turned into more than that—turned into recurring,” Herschell explained during an appearance on GH star Maurice Benard‘s podcast, State of Mind. “56 episodes later, here we are. So, I’m super grateful for it. I’ve learned so much.”

When Jacinda was first introduced to the Port Charles scene, she was nothing more than the girl Portia (Brook Kerr) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) hired to slip Drew (Cameron Mathison) drugs and cause him to make a public scene, leading Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to believe that Drew was having an affair. Jacinda then left town on Nina’s orders and with Nina’s money. When she returned, Jacinda caught the eye of Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) and they entered into a sweet romance.

After Willow took out a restraining order against her, forbidding Jacinda from being around Willow and Michael’s kids, Jacinda drugged Willow, leading Michael to pay her to leave town. If the truth ever came out, they could both be in real trouble.

Jacinda took the money and ran, just as she did the first time, so might be return again? Herschell believes that’s in the realm of possibility.

“Jacinda’s gone for now. You never know what could happen. Maybe she’ll come back. You know, guns ablazing,” Herschell said.

If Jacinda does return, that would add a whole new layer to Michael and Willow’s never-ending War of the Roses battle.
