A longtime fan favorite is on his way out. After some controversy regarding Ingo Rademacher’s opposition to a Covid-19 vaccination mandate, the actor is being written off the soap. Rademacher will make his last appearance as Jasper “Jax” Jacks on Monday, November 22. He first joined the ABC soap in 1996.
On a brighter note, Parry Shen is set to return as Brad Cooper. The character went to prison for his role in keeping secret that Michael’s son Wiley was alive. Word is there’s some intriguing story planned for the General Hospital lab technician.
