I loved your Jack Brennan from day one, and you made #Jackly (Jack and Carly) sparkle even brighter.” McKenna thanked her.The X user @andrea9192 said, “What a day this was!!! A total win in the end.” @MichelleBl445 replied to her, “Absolutely! Chris was made for the role of Jack Brennan, and the bonus is us having #Jackly.”McKenna has won a lot of fans by continuing Brennan’s chaotic journey in Port Charles, romancing Carly while trying to stop Faison’s final project.@tonyrossimedia shared a thoughtful critique of McKenna’s portrayal of the layered and conflicted WSB officer, saying “Happy anniversary, Chris! When you (first) came on, I thought you conveyed a darker side than the previous actor. But over time, you've brought Brennan's humanity & even heroism to the fore, making him a well-rounded character. Wishing u many more years to develop Jack's complexity.”A fan account on X dedicated to McKenna (@chrismckennafan) paid tribute by saying “A few hours early I would like to say happy anniversary to @ChrisLMcKenna a year ago I smiled ear to ear when I heard the words ‘The Role Of Jack Brennan Will Now Be Played By Chris L McKenna.’ Thank you for making a show that I love even better.”Chris McKenna interacts with General Hospital fans@Krysia8467251 spotlighted the goatee McKenna was wearing on that episode, saying “Yes, a year ago today you graced our screens for the first time. I have loved you since then. Your goatee could have a storyline of it's own. It was funny to watch, full goatee, just growing it out and so on Lol Any fun facts you could tell us.” @chrismckennafan noticed that the goatee disappeared in an episode two weeks later, then came back, and McKenna replied, “Oh yes. Way out of order. You can see it come and go within the same episode in fact lol.”The fan @SugarNStitches posted pictures of her and McKenna at the General Hospital fan event at Graceland in Memphis last fall, saying “Happy #GH anniversary to one of my favorite dance partners…congrats on surviving a whole year of wacky GH fans.”Catch all-new episodes of General Hospital weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
