‘General Hospital’ Who Is Dr. Isaiah Gannon?
There have been a lot of comings and goings in Port Charles as of late. General Hospital has seen a number of cast members return, while other fan favorites have been booted from the soap. One of the latest additions to the soap opera’s cast was Sawandi Wilson, who is playing the role of Dr. Isaiah Gannon. Who is the new doctor and could he be related to the Gannons of Llanview? Here is what we know so far.
Sawandi Wilson Goes From John Doe To Isaiah Gannon
Viewers may have noticed that a new name was added to the closing credits on General Hospital Friday. The September 6 credits rolled and as the contract players’s names were shown Sawandi Wilson caught the eye of many. He is listed as playing the character Dr. Isaiah Gannon.
Jason Morgan (portrayed by Steve Burton) was the first person to introduce Isaiah to viewers. Of course, he was “John Doe” at the time Jason found him. He was struck by a car driven by Agent Boyle and General Hospital baddie Ava Jerome was witness to it all as a passenger in the vehicle.
Sawandi, or Isaiah, made his debut on the ABC soap on August 26. In that episode, he appeared with Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson). Both of the characters were being held against their will in a refugee camp in Africa. Scenes showed Lucky helping Isaiah escape and instructing him to get back to Port Charles and get in touch with the World Security Bureau (WSB).
Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) has been keeping a close eye on John Doe, now known as Isaiah Gannon. Some GH viewers think there could be a potential for a love interest storyline between the two.
General Hospital Fans Wonder About One Life To Live Connection
However, most fans were focused on the new character’s last name: Gannon. General Hospital fans are now speculating if the new character might be connected to the Gannons of Llanview from One Life to Life. Although the soap has been off the air for more than a decade, many people still hold love for it in their hearts and would love to see some of the characters resurrected on GH.
Is it possible that Isaiah is the grandson of Nora (Hillary B. Smith) and Hank Gannon (Nathan Purdee)? That would make him the son of Rachel Gannon (Daphnee Duplaix). Or maybe he is related to Hank’s brother, RJ Gannon (Timothy B. Tickney). Of course, there is the possibility that he’s not related to the One Life to Live royalty at all, but fans can hope.

At the end of Friday’s episode, General Hospital viewers were left with a cliffhanger. Someone arrived in Port Charles with the intention of killing Isaiah with a syringe full of who knows what. Fans will have to wait and see if he will wake up in time to fend him off.
In addition to his new role on the ABC soap, Sawandi Wilson has a number of other credits to his name. He played Captain Leto in Star Trek: Discovery. The actor has also appeared in episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Quantico, The House of Flowers, Harlem, and Bull.
