‘General Hospital’s’ Chris McKenna Reveals His Pick for Jack Brennan’s Killer

General Hospital’s Jack Brennan may be dead and buried, but that doesn’t mean Chris McKenna isn’t interested in learning what really happened to the character he’d played since February of 2025.

As it stands now, Jack’s body was found floating in the Metro Court pool after Ava spiked his drink with a sleeping pill.

“I would have loved to have had a big, heroic martyrdom or a big grand speech,” McKenna said in an interview with TV Insider. “Unfortunately, I just played my dead body floating in a pool for two days.

He added, “Though it’s not the end I woulda chosen for Jack, I hope this generates months of riveting television around ‘Who killed Brennan?'”

The last time fans saw Jack alive, he had entered the Metro Court elevator in a clearly impaired state. How he got from there to the pool remains to be seen, but McKenna has his own hopes for Jack’s killer’s identity.

“I hope that Willow killed him,” McKenna revealed. “It’s time she graduates to full-on murder.”

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) being the killer would not be out of the question. She already attempted to kill her ex-husband Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) by shooting him in the back twice.

When she was acquitted, she then injected him with a paralytic drug and kept him in a locked-in state for six months. She had also threatened Jack not long before he died and was at the Metro Court around the time Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) found him floating in the pool.

For the moment, it looks like Willow’s mom, Nina (Cynthia Watros), is going to be the main suspect in Jack’s disappearance, but McKenna might be onto something adding Willow to the list.
