As first reported by the Soap Opera Digest website, Charles Mesure has elected to step away from the role of GH’s Brennan, which he originated back in December 2023.
“Charles Mesure opted to exit the role of Brennan,” a rep for the long-running ABC sudser confirms in a statement. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
Mesure’s final appearance as Brennan aired Jan. 30. Starting this Tuesday, Feb. 4, One Live to Live alum Chris McKenna will take over the role.
“General Hospital looks forward to continuing Brennan’s exciting storyline with Chris McKenna in the role,” says the GH spokesperson.
Ahead of his GH debut, Mesure’s TV credits included The Magicians, Once Upon a Time, Desperate Housewives, ABC’s V reboot and Crossing Jordan.
McKenna, meanwhile, started out his acting career as one of OLTL‘s many, many Joey Buchanans. His TV credits also include The CW’s 90210, NBC’s one-and-done State of Affairs, CBS’ The Young and the Restless (as Detective Mark Harding), Major Crimes and Good Trouble (playing Marc Rothman).
McKenna’s most recent primetime gig was a February 2024 episode of NCIS.
