‘General Hospital’ (GH) Rumor: Is Little Jake Spencer A Cassadine Agent, Brainwashed by Helena?

 'General Hospital' (GH) Rumor: Is Little Jake Spencer A Cassadine Agent, Brainwashed by Helena?It sure seemed like good news when Little Jake Spencer [James Nigbor] was brought back to town, but this ‘General Hospital’ spoiler shows why we may want to treat this kid with caution. Little Jake was a normal kid when he was spirited away four year ago by Helena Cassadine [Constance Towers] but you have to consider, who could spend four years under her evil spell and not come out a changed creature?

And – a very important question – how did Lucky Spencer [Jonathan Jackson] just happen to find out after all this time that his son was alive? With Little Jake quarantined on Cassadine Island, no one would have known about his presence. And then Lucky, Laura Spencer [Genie Francis] and Luke Spencer [Anthony Geary] found almost no resistance when they got to the Cassadine HQ lair – strange, right?

To top that off, Helena practically handed little Jake over on a silver platter. Why would Helena give the kid up without a fight? And why would she want a Spencer/Webber/Morgan offspring anyway? Helena is not terribly maternal, so why take a little kid? The answer: so she could make him into her little minion to do her bidding once she put him back in Port Charles.

Lucky didn’t get lucky when he found the kid. Helena leaked the information somewhere she knew he would hear about it then sat back to wait for the Spencers to come “rescue” little Jake. In actuality, what Laura, Lucky and Luke were doing was implanting Helena’s mini-spy in Port Charles for her with no one any the wiser. But this begs the question – exactly what is this kid capable of anyway?

Obviously, hand to hand combat isn’t going to be the forte of a mini-minion, but little Jake could be acting as Helena’s spy, he could leave information lying around, could leak information verbally to people, could poison someone, could sabotage things… There’s a lot that a kid like him could do if properly trained. He could even be a little evil assassin.

What’s most important to know is that little Jake knows that big Jake Doe [Billy Miller] is really Jason Morgan and is his biological father. What’s also very likely is that any affection for his parents has been brainwashed out of him and little Jake won’t care if he hurts Liz Webber [Rebecca Herbst] or anyone else that gets in the way of whatever mission Helena has assigned to him.

What’s not clear yet is exactly what plans Helena has for Port Charles that she plans to use little Jake to carry out – but given her murderous past, it won’t be pretty. It could be a micro-plot that targets the Spencers or Webbers… or it could be a bolder and wider spread plan to take down a big chunk of Port Charles. Helena could have the kid building a bomb in his closet to set off at Jake and Liz’s wedding…

Who knows? And it’s the not knowing that makes this very interesting. The whole notion of bringing Jake back from the dead seemed very dumb at the time – but if the new writers have turned it around and into something far more complex and intriguing, then we can look past the improbability of a kid surviving a hit and run and organ donation coming back to life.
