Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington) has it out for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), now and always. Their feud dates back to the early 1990s when Sonny was as bad as they come. Strip clubs, drugs, vulnerable women- Sonny was involved in it all.
Jagger Forced Jason to Work for the FBI
Apparently, times hasn’t healed Jagger’s wounds as he still feels pain from what happened to Karen. It might sound like over dramatic excuses to Sonny, but Jagger is very serious. Like Ava said, Jagger will never believe that Sonny was trying to help Karen all those years ago. Furthermore, Ava’s mob experience makes her no stranger to Sonny’s situation. She knows damn well than an FBI agent with a grudge is not someone you want on your tail. Presumably, an agent that has an issue with a certain criminal will hint them down until they’re caught.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Jagger is holding back. He knows more about the situation than he’d like to admit, and he’s more involved than he wants anyone to know. His anger and high emotional reactions suggest that he has it out for Sonny. The FBI is desperate to bust Sonny so they use the perfect tool to get the job done.
Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington) showed up in Port Charles again after many years away. He has history with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) that dates back to the 90s. Back then, Jagger, Sonny, and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) all had ties to the same girl, and her name was Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne). GH history confirms that Jagger always had it out for Sonny. And Jagger knew Jason as Jason Quartermaine. In fact, they knew each other well, especially after having been stranded on an island with Karen.
Suddenly, Jagger is back and is in the thick of a Port Charles investigation. It’s high time the people of Port Charles learn who was behind the Metro Court shooting. So who shot Curtis? Furthermore, who was the intended target? Maybe it was Curtis after all? According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, the shooter’s targets all have something in common. Evidently, someone is after high profile organized crime bosses. In addition to the attack on Sonny’s island, someone threatened Selina Wu (Lydia Look) and Olivia Jerome is dead. Also, Sonny and Ava were attacked on his island. Clearly someone wants to send a message.
General Hospital Spoilers: Jason and Jagger Work Together
Meanwhile, Jagger is dead set on keeping Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) far away from the investigation into what looks like organized crime attacks. There’s something shady going on with why Jagger doesn’t want help from Anna and Jordan. Does Jagger know more than he’s letting on?
After Sonny got Lee to talk, he revealed that the boss goes by the name of Stone. According to the latest GH spoilers and rumors, Stone stands for Stone Cold. As in, the one and only Jason Morgan!
Last week’s General Hospital brought the shock factor to its audience on many different levels. Obviously Spencer and Esme made us gasp, Avery Pohl’s unexpected exit, Nikolas and Ace’s return to Laura, and more contributed to the ultimately shocking storylines.
General Hospital recaps highlight Spencer and Trina’s life or death situation. Their families came together to help rescue them from Esme Prince. While it looks like Esme and Spencer are swimming with the fishies, GH news reports confirm that Nicholas Alexander Chavez will return as Spencer, but Avery Pohl’s exit is indefinite. Now Trina is traumatized after the event and losing Spencer. To be honest, I’m traumatized too lol. I want Esme back! It still boggles my mind that GH took this direction. But that’s for another post at another time.
Anna’s Taken Aback By Jagger
Meanwhile, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) engage in their own life threatening drama. The two find themselves in an FBI ambush as they try to crack a case of their own. That’s when Jagger showed up. General Hospital spoilers reveal that a blast from the past has come back. Those who watched GH in the early 90s know exactly who Jagger Cates is. However, anyone would be confused and shocked by this because todays Jagger isn’t the man who made the role an iconic piece of American culture and Soap Opera history.
According to GH news reports, Jagger was recast with actor Adam Harrington. While Antonio Sabàto Jr. helped create the role over 30 years ago, it’s been reported that Sabato Jr. was not asked to reprise the ever-popular the role. Now, the actor has come out to speak on the subject.
In a now-deleted Instagram video, Sabato Jr. addressed a statement about Jagger’s recent recasting. “I’m being bombarded with a lot of questions about this General Hospital thing. You need to know the truth from me and you need to know the only truth about what’s going on.”
Antonio Sabato Jr. Address Jagger Recast
There’s no denying that Antonio Sabato Jr.’s role as Jagger Cates took the GH fandom by storm in the early 1990s. Certainly, his face became recognizable across the world as General Hospital fans tuned in to see what’s next. Antonio addressed the early starved of the character, and Jagger’s worldly popularity. “At the beginning of my career, I started on a character that I truly, truly adore, that I created with Wendy Riche, the executive producer, and an amazing team of writers at General Hospital back in 1992. I was on General Hospital from 92 to 94, playing a character by the name of John “Jagger” Cates.
Jagger Cates Popularity
I’ve been asked by the fans by millions all over the world, not just in America and in North America, but all over the world, about coming back to General Hospital for 30 years. Now, like I said, I’m doing very well. I’m not begging to go back on the show. This is not about that. I have many careers. I’m still acting very well. I have a movie coming out. I have a lot of things coming out and I’m very proud of.”
Reflecting on his popularity as Jagger, and the irony that he was never asked to return, Sabato stated, “I’ve never been asked to come back on General Hospital for 30 years. The producers at General Hospital, ABC, and Disney, they know where to find me. They know where I am. The fans always ask me every single day, ‘Are you going back to General Hospital?”
Adam Harrington Steps In as Jagger Recast
Fast forward to this week. It’s 2024 and has been 30 years since Sabato Jr. played the iconic Jagger Cates. Suddenly, the news hit fans and Antonio like a brick. He was bombarded with questions from fans, asking about the recent GH casting. That’s when Antonio commented on Jagger’s revival, and the fact that he wasn’t asked to step back into the role. Instead, GH hired Adam Harrington to take over as the memorable Cates.
“They don’t even call him ‘Jagger’. They call him ‘John’ because they know that the character’s only been played by me ’cause it’s part of who I am. It’s my life. It’s a character that is really a big part of, of my soul that I dedicated my life. And that’s what it turned out to be. I gave everything I have to that character and I would still do. So, the truth and the fact of the matter is people say, well, ‘you ruin your career because you voted for this or political or this and that.’ I shouldn’t be hired on my political views. I should be hired on my merit, on my acting abilities because you know, that works.”
“So this is on them hiring a new person, which is fine. They could do whatever they want. But hey, but for all the fans around the world to speculate or to say, you know, I ruined my career and all this stuff, mo, that’s not it. So now you know the truth. I’m gonna leave this out there for you to see.”
According to GH News and spoilers, Antonio’s message was addressed in a now-deleted IG video. Please be sure to check back with us at GH Blog for the latest developments.
