GH Spoilers: Is Jude Really Jerry Jacks? 5 Clues Point to a Shocking Return

General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal there are five reasons why Jude (Wil Traval) might really be Jerry Jacks (formerly Sebastian Roché).

Let’s look at these compelling reasons why Josslyn Jacks’ (Eden McCoy) villainous uncle might be back again.

Key Takeaways

• Jerry’s PCPD criminal record could connect him to Phoebe’s DNA mystery
• Jerry previously used Wyndemere as his base in Port Charles
• Jerry has undergone plastic surgery to disguise his identity
• Jerry’s past aliases often began with the letter J
• Jude’s reaction to the name Jane could be a revealing clue

Jerry Jacks Has A Police Record At The PCPD And Might Be Phoebe Chase’s Birth Father

General Hospital fans will remember when Ethan Lovett (then Nathan Dean) disguised himself as a policeman to get DNA from a cold case file in the PCPD.

Later, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel), who’s connected to Jasper Jacks Enterprises, and Ethan got into a terrible fight.

This was after Ethan used the DNA from the file to fake being Phoebe Chase’s (Luna and Lucia Creighton) birth father.

As Phoebe’s biological father mystery threatens Brook Lynn and Chase, that stolen DNA could turn out to be an important clue.

Hudson wasn’t known to anyone in Port Charles and wouldn’t have a criminal record, let alone a file with his DNA in it.

But Jerry would—and with Ethan, Jerry, and Hudson all being from Australia, they likely all know each other; and Jude just hit Port Charles after Wyndemere and Spoon Island were sold for cash.

Jerry Jacks Used Wyndemere For His Base The Last Several Times He Came To Town

Jerry used Wyndemere for his base the last several times he came to town, plus he used to live there.

The buyer who outbid Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) for the island and the castle paid in cash, at the very last minute.

Hudson would know how to facilitate that for Jude because he had just done it with Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) piers for Josslyn.

When Jude was at the Brown Dog Bar, getting ready to leave for a one-night stand with Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), he left a wad of cash on the bar—with one-hundred-dollar bills plainly in sight.

That could mean that he’s loaded with cash.

Jerry Has Had Plastic Surgery Before

Jerry has had plastic surgery before to change his appearance—and if he did it this time, why not make himself look a lot younger, although he still has a Jacks family resemblance?

Even though there’s a possibility that Jude could be a son of Jerry, and still match the DNA to be Phoebe’s birth father, it wouldn’t be surprising if Jerry would make himself look a lot younger.

As the theory about Jude’s identity and a possible Jacks family connection suggests, plastic surgery could explain why no one has recognized him.

Of the two Jacks brothers, Jasper (formerly Ingo Rademacher) and Jerry, Jerry is probably the more vain.

Jerry has always been involved in criminal activity, and Jax would try to get him out of trouble.

It would seem Jax is somewhat of a misguided enabler where his brother is concerned!

Jerry’s Aliases Always Begin With J

Jerry’s aliases have often begun with the letter J—James Craig, James Brosnan, and he even went by his father’s name, John Jacks, one time.

The only time he didn’t use an alias starting with J was when he went by “Mr. Moreau.”

He’s also gone by John Jacks, Jr. in the past.

If Jude indeed is Jerry, with plastic surgery again, partly as a disguise and partly out of vanity, it would fit the pattern.

Plus, fall previews for General Hospital say that Josslyn isn’t the only one who has rights to JJE—it’s possible Jerry does as well.

Jude’s Reaction To Britt’s Love Partner Aliases Suggestions

And then there’s Jude’s reaction to Britt’s love partner alias suggestions before they settled on “Crackerjack” and “Stunner.”

She wanted to use “John” and “Jane”—the names of Jerry’s and Jax’s parents—and he was much more opposed to “Jane!”

He was visibly grossed out—and no wonder. No man wants to be reminded of his mother when he’s having a hot one-night stand with a beautiful woman!

Meanwhile, Jude’s mysterious connection to Britt and the Jacks family could lead to even more shocking revelations about his real identity.

Annemarie’s Take

There are certainly some interesting clues here, especially Jude’s reaction to the name Jane and his possible connection to Wyndemere.

But I’m still not convinced Jude is Jerry Jacks! Wil Traval looks so much younger than Sebastian Roché that even plastic surgery seems like a stretch to me.

I actually think Jude being Jerry’s son would make more sense, and it could open up an entirely new chapter for the Jacks family.

Still, this is Port Charles, where anything is possible! I’d love to see Jerry return, but I want a little more proof before I believe Jude is really him.
