What Do Fans Call Jack Wagner When They Meet Him?
Actor and singer Jack Wagner has starred in a cornucopia of roles. He has been Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place, Domminck Marone in The Bold And The Beautiful, and Warren Lockridge on Santa Barbara. However, according to Michael Fairman TV, it is his OG role as Frisco Jones in General Hospital that fans acknowledge. They call Jack Frisco!
I still get called Frisco probably more than anything. When a fan base starts to fall in love with the characters, it is very real for them. It [When Calls The Heart] reminds me a little bit of the GH fans back in the 80s.
The publication reports that Wagner was on the Still The Place podcast, speaking to Daphne Zuniga, Laura Leighton, and Courtney Thorne-Smith about this phenomenon. Firstly, he shared that the Hearties who support the Hallmark series When Calls The Heart are similar to his General Hospital gig. It turns out that no matter who he is portraying now, he is still called Frisco by fans.
Jack played Frisco Jones from 1983-1995. Starting out as the lead singer of Blackie And The Riff Raffs, with John Stamos as Blackie, Frisco soon became a police officer, and then WSB agent. In the series, he met Felicia, portrayed by Kristina Wagner, who became his on-screen and real-life love.
Frisco and Felicia had two daughters Maxie Jones and the late Georgie Jones. In a Hallmark deep dive, Maxi marries Detective Nathan West, portrayed by Ryan Paevey. That means Ryan would be Jack’s late son-in-law on the show.
Could This Be A Good Time To Return To General Hospital?
It has been 12 years since Jack Wagner has portrayed Frisco Jones. Therefore, Michael Fairman thinks it is time for the General Hospital alum to return to the series. He calls the latest developments of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) and the WSB setting up in Port Charles a “solid story.”
With his busy golf schedule and assuming that When Calls The Heart will be returning for Season 13, he may have to squeeze in a guest appearance if he is ready to return to the ABC soap.
