GH Alum Ingo Rademacher Reaches Out For A Good Cause

The devastating fires in Maui hit very close to home for former General Hospital star Ingo Rademacher (ex-Jax) as the actor and his family called the Hawaii island of Oahu their home for many years. The actor’s wife, Ehiku, a native of Hawaii, has many relatives in the Lahaina area. Rademacher took to social media to share updates with fans and how they can help.

Ingo Rademacher Gives A Insider’s Report

When you witness such disasters as the fires raging on the island of Maui it is only natural to want to reach out and help but don’t know how or where. Rademacher reports he has relatives who are “boots on the ground” (soldiers and combat troops who are physically present) and actively participating in service to Lahaina. The actor is eager to share where fans can help.

The Rademacher clan resided on a compound in Oahu that he put on the market in 2022, a year after his exit from General Hospital due to refusing to get vaccinated. He and his family have since relocated to Panama City, Florida, but Hawaii is still very close to their hearts.

Rademacher and his wife have been in close contact with their Hawaiian family members to check in with the latest news on their safety and well-being. He took to Instagram to share the information with people who want to help.

A Piece Of Port Charles History

The actor joined General Hospital in 1996 as Jasper “Jax” Jacks, playing the role on and off until he was written off the show in 2021. Jax was paired with many of Port Charles’s leading ladies including Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer), Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), Chloe Morgan (Tava Smiley), Skye Quartermaine (Robin Christopher), Courtney Matthews (Alicia Leigh Willis), and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). Often, he’d go head-to-head against mobster Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

In 2009, Carly gave birth to Jax’s daughter, Josslyn (Eden McCoy). Over the years Jax made many friends and enemies but it was withholding the fact that Sonny was alive and well in Nixon Falls that truly earned his ex-wife Carly’s wrath. Rademacher’s last episode aired on November 22, 2021. The actor filed a lawsuit against ABC for his dismissal based on religious leaning but the court ruled in favor of the network saying it was based on health fears in June of 2023.

For fans that wish to donate to victims of the Maui fire, here is a list of local charities that are working on their behalf.
