General Hospital's Chris McKenna reveals the special meaning behind Josslyn's secret code

General Hospital's Josslyn blurted out some number to Pascal that may or may not have been the combination to a lockbox that Jack Brennan has in his Port Charles WSB office. However, they weren't just some random numbers that popped into Josslyn's head. According to Chris McKenna, they have a very special meaning.

A General Hospital surprise

After the August 26th episode aired, McKenna took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal what those numbers really meant, or at least to give fans a clue.

"The code Josslyn gives Pascal (101877) is a clever little Easter egg from the writers," McKenna wrote. "Anybody figured what it is?"

A quick Google search reveals that October 18, 1977, is McKenna's birthday. Since Josslyn (Eden McCoy) was telling Pascal (Marc Forget) how to get into Jack's box with some top-secret classified materials, it makes sense that the writers would make sure the numbers related to Jack.

However, one fan pointed out another meaning for this significant date that McKenna could relate to.

"A nod to 'Mr. October' Reggie Jackson's 3 home runs in game 6 of the 1977 World Series," @Kearnsatron5000 wrote, along with a gif from that long-ago Yankees game.

New York native McKenna replied: "Bahahaha absolutely!!! I was being born down the street when it happened. My dad was grateful I came out in time, so he didn’t miss the game!"

While McKenna was being born during a famous World Series baseball game, Josslyn was dressed in her undercover tennis best when she did her best to save Vaughn (Bryce Durfee) from Pascal's torture. Pascal seemed satisfied with Josslyn's information, but was she trying to throw him off track to buy some time for her and Vaughn to escape?

Back in Port Charles, Anna (Finola Hughes) warned Jack to abort the mission and get Josslyn home as soon as possible before the young agent gets herself killed. Did Josslyn do something to make her situation worse? Or did she really give Pascal the right numbers? If she did, would we one day learn that October 18th is also Jack's birthday?
