General Hospital star Chris McKenna reveals the secret behind Brennan and Valentin's meeting

Jack Brennan's story kicked into high gear on General Hospital once he got on the horn with Valentin, who's currently incarcerated. The two went back and forth in a heated discussion as Brennan worked furiously to get the 411 from the Cassadine convict!

General Hospital, secrets behind the screens

Jack (Chris McKenna) demanded -- and received -- a video call with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) as he believed he could be of invaluable aid to him in terms of rescuing Joss (Eden McCoy) and Vaughan (Bryce Durfee).

Valentin is currently residing in Steinmauer Maximum Security Prison in Switzerland. It was evident that there was no love lost between the two men as the dialogue recapped where Valentin was and what the past relationship between the two men was.

"You've not only survived the fall of Pikeman," Valentin quipped, "but you've maneuvered into a position of power to arrange for meetings such as this."

"Oh, I am but a humble station chief, stateside, of course," Brenna shot back.

Once the pleasantries were aside, Valentin got down to business and asked Jack how he could be of assistance. The WSB guru wanted to be told what Valentin knew about a double agent named Colette Morell (Mercedes Lopez Renard).

"Never heard of her," Valentin lied. Jack replied, "Now, can you skip to the part where you tell me what I need to know?" Ever the opportunist, Valentin asked what was in it for him. Brennan offered time outside, "shackled with a guard, of course."

Negotiations thicken, General Hospital

Hoping to up the ante, Jack pointed out that Colette was the person who took a shot at Valentin, almost killing him. This prompted Valentin to sing a different tune. "I may have had some dealings with her when she was with the director general for external security," Valentin revealed.

Jack agreed to Valentin's request that he get some face time with Charlotte, but was taken aback when he asked for an in-person meeting.

Speaking of being face-to-face, McKenna revealed that he and Stuart, who both spent time on New York soap operas when the former was Joey on One Life to Live, and Stewart was Will on All My Children, were not looking at each other when the scene was shot!

"Btw, James Patrick Stuart, and I never saw each other in today’s scenes. We were filmed separately #GH #Valentin #Brennan," McKenna revealed, showing a photo of an empty monitor.

Many followers were grateful that McKenna showed this behind-the-scenes secret. "Wow!" posted Mary Taylor AKA @mary_taylo77418. "How difficult was that? It was really well done.❤️." McKenna replied with a smile: "We’re pros, baby😎."

Stewart chimed in that, "The real star of the scene was Final Cut Pro."
