On General Hospital, Chris McKenna’s Jack Brennan has been keeping viewers on edge. His character continues to worry about Joss and Vaughn’s mission, with the Cassadine connection adding even more tension.

His latest post gave viewers an extra dose of trivia about newcomer Bluesy Burke, the young actress who has surprisingly stepped into the role of Charlotte.
A Small World Connection

He and I did the film FORFEIT together.” The post quickly caught the attention of fans who loved learning the surprising connection.
Responses poured in with excitement and recognition. One follower said, “She did a great job today! Excited to see her take over the role. Have loved Billy Burke in many things ❤️.” Another chimed in with, “She impressed me today, 💪 start!” Someone else admitted, “I found out she was Billy’s daughter about an hour ago. I googled because I was curious about Bluesy. It’s a small world, though. I didn’t know about the movie and your connection.”
Fans Reacted to the Surprise
The reactions kept coming as fans tied McKenna’s trivia to their own memories of the actors’ careers. One person, who noted the actors on the Forfeit poster that McKenna shared, wrote, “Gregory Itzin and Sherry Stringfield, too? I may have to check this one out. What a fabulous cast! Thanks for posting. ❤️.” Another added, “She was great today. Now I’m gonna check FORFEIT out.” Many enjoyed the crossover trivia, with one fan declaring, “The Six Degrees of Chris McKenna!”
