Two ‘GH’ Fan Favorites Get Bumped To Contract Status
General Hospital has seen more behind-the-scenes drama lately than on-screen. The show recently rehired a previously fired writer. The casting door has been revolving constantly as fan-favorite actors such as Michael Easton exited stage left and Lucky Spencer headed back to town. The daytime soap reportedly just upgraded two recurring roles to contract status. Keep reading for all the details on the latest GH changes.
GH Star Charles Mesure Bumped To Contract Status
General Hospital fans are concerned about Adam J. Harrington’s future on the show after rumors began swirling that John “Jagger” Cates is leaving town soon. ABC has yet to confirm the rumors, but one soap fan took to Reddit to share some casting news that might make worried fans happy.
The Redditor claimed that two popular actors on the show had been bumped up from recurring to contract status. Charles Mesure joined the soap as John Brennan in December 2023. Brennan is the former director of the fictional spy agency WSB and has a history with Anna. The character is part of Sonny’s storyline.
GH fans reacted positively to the news of the contract news, which hasn’t been officially confirmed by the soap.
- This is awesome news! Love me some Charles Mesure
- This is great! I really think Kristen has come into her own as Molly and I love JohnJack (not to be confused with JohnJagger
- I could watch Charles ALL DAY LONG.
- Makes sense, first actor in a long time to have chem with Laura/Carly.
- Soooo excited Brennan will be a regular character!! He and Carly have the best chemistry.
- Who’s he gonna get with…Anna, Carly, Alexis, Jordan …he has his pick of the single ladies in Port Charles ! He’s extremely handsome
Brennan’s deflection is masterful, West Coast. What plan does he have to gain Anna’s trust (and to get Agent Cates off his trail)?

GH Shuts Down Rumors Of Haley Pullos Returning As Molly
Haley Pullos played Molly for nearly 14 years before she left following legal trouble. She was arrested for DUI in 2023. The actress was recently let out of jail after finishing her sentence. Some GH fans suggested that she might be returning to the ABC soap to reprise her role as Molly.
After she left, the soap went through several recasts before finally finding Kristen Vaganos, who took over the role in late 2023. Many soap viewers have been singing her praises for her portrayal of Molly’s grief after her baby died. Her sister, Kristina, had been carrying the baby as a surrogate but took a tumble out of a window.
According to the Reddit thread, Vaganos is also now in a contract role. The move comes just weeks after news that Rick Hearst is reprising his role as Molly’s father, Ric Lansing.

I would love for Jack Brennan to return to the story and him and Carley hook up he really likes Carley.
Get rid of Cates and Ava.
it’s a shame how the Writers ruined Avas Character on the story because I really liked her character.
To the writers, please start listening to your fans.
they should have never brought Cates character in the first place. just didn’t fit
It’s great to hear that Charles Measure has been upgraded to contract status, I was just saying awhile ago that his character should be kept around because he has that charisma & presence that he fits in the Luke mold that Geary had.
I really preferred the old Molly, wish they would’ve brought her back. I don’ t need to see Rick Hearst or Jonathan Jackson come back either. Who I would like to see come back is Michael Easton and the actors that played Franco and Spencer. John Cates can go, but please keep Ava.
