General Hospital (GH) is set for an explosive week filled with drama, surprises, and significant cast changes. After the shocking events of the Friday, August 30 episode, where Sonny Corinthos shot Jagger Cates, fans are eager to see how the fallout unfolds. Here’s everything we know about what’s coming up on GH.

The Fate of Jagger Cates

Adam J. Harrington's character, Jagger Cates, has been at the center of compelling storylines in recent episodes. Sonny Corinthos's two point-blank shots at Jagger marked the culmination of Jagger's grievance against him. Many fans are left wondering after these developments whether or not Mick Jagger is actually dead and whether or not Adam J. Harrington will be departing the show. Following Sonny's two consecutive shots on Adam J. Harrington's character John "Jagger" Cates on Friday's episode, the majority of fans assumed that the character was about to leave.

Is Jagger Cates Dead?

Yes, Jagger Cates is confirmed to be dead on General Hospital. He was so angry at Sonny for how he treated Jagger's late wife, Karen Wexler, that he took a number of actions leading up to his death. When Jagger tries to get revenge by manipulating and framing Sonny's daughter Kristina and betraying his own accomplice Ava, his actions go too far and there is no turning back. The last mistake that ultimately brought him down was bragging to Sonny about his misdeeds.

Adam J. Harrington’s Departure

Adam J. Harrington has confirmed his exit from General Hospital. Harrington thanked the cast and crew in a recent X (previously Twitter) post, which confirmed his departure from the show. In addition, he expressed gratitude to his followers in a different post for their support during his time on the show. His message was filled with appreciation for the opportunity and the people he worked with, making it clear that his character’s death marks the end of his time on the show.

Nevertheless, anything is possible in this realm of daytime drama where the dead come back to life. While Harrington’s departure seems definite, the nature of daytime dramas means anything is possible, and characters often find ways to return.

General Hospital’s Tuesday, September 3 show will be a big one, and an episode that might clarify some things when it comes to characters, deaths, and what happens next! It is anticipated that future episodes will explore this plot in greater detail and show how Sonny intends to handle the consequences.
