General Hospital spoilers and updates tease Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) nowhere to be found, as Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) may find out in shocking intel. Might it be that Valentin and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) are in witness protection?

General Hospital Spoilers – How Did Jack Brennan Pull It Off?

Related to the question of Valentin and Charlotte possibly being in witness protection is the sudden absence of Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure) from Pentonville.

He resurfaced as head of a new WSB field office in Port Charles, as Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) found out when she looked for him at the prison!

She initially found him at the national WSB headquarters and found out he walked away from Pikeman-as apparently did Valentin when he fled with Charlotte.

Nothing else makes sense for the situation of Brennan’s record being wiped and Valentin and Charlotte’s existence being wiped except witness protection.

Both Brennan and Valentin were involved heavily with Pikeman, with Valentin taking over as the leader when Brennan was in prison.

GH Spoilers – Witness Protection Means Valentin Was The Main One Who Spilled To The Feds

Witness protection means Valentin was the main one who spilled to the Feds, with enemies still out there who could make problems.

Brennan may have also spilled some Pikeman secrets, otherwise he would still be in prison-and it didn’t all go away just because John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington) was killed.

Anna wanted Brennan to find Valentin so Charlotte could come home and be with her mother Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins), but he wasn’t cooperative.

He was dodgy and wouldn’t say anything except not deny that he’d walked away from Pikeman, which he’d been in prison for being the head of!

Since then, Anna has had to shift her focus to bringing Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) home from Africa, along with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to help her.

General Hospital Spoilers – Will Charlotte And Valentin Cassadine Ever Be Able To Return?

The big question is if Charlotte and Valentin will ever be able to return-if they’re in witness protection they have new identities, and that’s for their own protection.

As long as they’re in danger from enemies who are likely the remainder of the Pikeman people, they’ll have to stay under the radar.

Pikeman was a place for disgraced former WSB and DVX agents to go for employment, and it’s likely still in existence though undercover.

It’s possible they’re even connected to Ulrich “Jenz” Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and his illegal mining operations where Jason and Anna are now. In the mercenary world, there are a lot of places to hide and keep operating!
