NYPD Blue actress, Kim Delaney has made her debut on General Hospital as a recast for Demi Moore’s portrayal of journalist, Jackie Templeton.
In a recent interview with TV Insider, GH’s Josh Swickard discloses General Hospital spoilers related to the arrival of Kim Delaney as Jackie Templeton.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Jackie Templeton’s ties to Port Charles run much deeper than just the old clan including Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary), and her romantic involvement with Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers). General Hospital spoilers reveal Jackie used to be involved with Chase’s half brother, Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton), and she is Chase’s mother!
Josh Swickard reveals, “I found out very recently, a few weeks ago. I saw [Kim] on set and said, ‘Oh, who’s this wonderful new character?’ I was told: ‘It’s your mother.’ Kim and I sat down and talked and got to know each other. We did our first few scenes together. It was this instant feel of a mother-son relationship. After the second scene, we both thought, ‘Oh, this is going to work.’ When we met, I said, ‘You sound and look so familiar.’ I did my due diligence and looked up who she was. I feel honored to do scenes with her.”
When asked about this shocking plot twist and gaining insight into Chase’s background, Swickard responded, “Yes! This is something that Michael Easton and I were a little in the dark about. When I first started it was, “Finn really wants to hate Chase and Chase really wants to like him.” There were musings and rumors [as to why]. Now, it’s all becoming clear. Recently, I was on set late one night watching, thinking this is some good stuff. My hat’s off to the writers.”
