One Life to Live vet Chris McKenna, best known for his portrayal of Joey Buchanan on the defunct ABC soap, has taken over the WSB honcho Jack Brennan role. McKenna, who also appeared as Mark Harding on The Young and the Restless and Dr. Hayden on The Bold and the Beautiful, made his debut last week. He explained his take on his new assignment here.
McKenna replaces Charles Mesure, who began airing as the cryptic and charismatic character in December 2023. According to a GH statement, Mesure opted to exit the role. The actor made his final appearance on January 30, just as Jack and Carly’s (Laura Wright) romance was heating up.
Asher Antonzyn is back as Danny Morgan. He shares scenes with his TV father, Steve Burton’s Jason, on Wednesday, February 12.
