Jerry Christmas from GH!

Jerry Christmas from GH!

General Hospital fans were no doubt thrilled to see Sebastian Roche's Jerry Jacks in Port Charles today, but will the character be sticking around for a while -- or will he disappear quicker than milk and cookies?

Hot on the heels of a special holiday greeting video from the cast of General Hospital and the news that several of the show's actors will be visiting fans in Paris this spring came the exciting gift of a Sebastian Roche (Jerry Jacks) return today.

The story has Robin (Kimberly McCullough) in yet another dangerous predicament, with ABC Manager, Current Programming, Nathan Varni asking fans: "Will Jerry give Robin one more chance or is the clock ticking & time running out?"

Rest assured, fans of the story and the actor. The twist seems to mean that Roche's alter ego will be sticking around for a short story arc that lasts a few episodes. Which means the holidays will be very Jerry, indeed!

"Working with Sebastian was great!" McCullough enthused to Soap Opera Digest. "He's the best. I actually went over to his house this past weekend to get our dogs together. He's very sweet, very unlike Jerry. For all those people out there who think he's a bad man, he made me an excellent omelet!"
