5 Questions About Britt's New Mystery Man on General Hospital

General Hospital's Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) is basking in the afterglow of her exciting night with the mystery man from the Brown Dog Bar. We have yet to learn what his story is, but here are five questions we have about him.

Is he the mystery person Hudson has been phoning?

We've occasionally seen Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) call a mysterious person and give him or her updates on his activities. Hudson works for JJE, which stands for Jasper Jacks Enterprises. Could Britt's new man be the person Hudson has been contacting?

Moreover, is Crackerjack (Britt's name for him) a member of the Jacks family? Longtime GH fans know that Jasper "Jax" Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) is the father of Josslyn (Eden McCoy). Could Crackerjack be Jax's son? Or might he be the son of Jax's brother, serial killer Jerry Jacks (Sebastian Roche)? The Jacks brothers are Australian, and Crackerjack is Australian as well.

Then there's baby Phoebe. Has Hudson been giving Crackerjack updates about Phoebe? Is there any chance that Britt's mystery man is Phoebe's biological father?

Is he in the WSB?

It feels like every other minute of every GH episode, we hear a character mention the WSB. So many GH characters are either WSB agents or were at one time or another. Now that we know that Crackerjack carries a gun, so many questions arise in our minds. Is he in the WSB? Is he an undercover cop? Is he in the mob? Or does he merely carry a gun for protection?

Since one of GH's main themes is intrigue, we're guessing that he isn't just packing heat for safety reasons. So, the next time we see Britt's mystery man, will he be reporting to Agent William Baines (Alimi Ballard)?

If he does, then Britt might have a problem with that. She doesn't trust WSB agents, so she might not be thrilled to realize that she slept with one, after the fact.

Is he related to Dr. Tristan Roberts?

Another one of GH's new characters, Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer), is also Australian. Is there any chance that Britt's mystery man is related to him? He used to work for the WSB, but he gave it up for a career as a surgeon at GH.

Tristan arrived in Port Charles a few months ago, but we still don't know much about him, except that he and Britt have a hard time getting along as co-workers. However, he does admire Anna (Finola Hughes), another ex-WSB agent. Otherwise, Tristan is still very much a mystery man, like Crackerjack. Is there any chance that the two men are connected somehow?

Is he related to Professor Henry Dalton?

Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard), another Australian, was killed by Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) almost a year ago. Is Britt's mystery man related to him?

Could it be that Crackerjack is on a mission to seek vengeance against Sidwell for Dalton's death? Even though Sidwell is a prisoner now, he's in the hospital at the moment, recuperating from the recent Pentonville beatings. In soap opera land, characters escape from hospitals all the time. Remember when Lulu (Alexa Havins) did it after she awoke from a four-year coma?

Did he purchase Spoon Island?

Now that Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has told Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) that Wyndemere is off the market, some GH fans wonder whether Britt's mystery man purchased it. After all, that's where Sidwell used to live, and it's also where he killed Dalton. Furthermore, Britt happened to be there at the time, and she witnessed the murder.

So, taking all of that into consideration, did Crackerjack's chance meeting with Britt really happen by chance? Or did he seek her out on purpose? Did he buy Spoon Island because of a connection to Dalton? Is he trying to find out information about Sidwell by purchasing the mobster's previous home?

We have no idea, and we're just speculating, but it will be fun to find out what Crackerjack's story is. Could this signal the beginning of a new romance for Britt? Who do you think her mystery man is? Sound off in the comments.
