Who Is Dex’s Father on General Hospital? Jason or Jagger?

General Hospital fans are curious to uncover who is Dex’s father. Is Jason Morgan his father, or could it be Jagger Cates? With Dex’s tragic death in December 2024, the question remains unanswered, leaving fans speculating about his family ties and the potential impact on future storylines.

Here are all the details on who is Dex’s father on General Hospital. 

Is Jason Morgan Dex Heller’s father on General Hospital?

It still remains a mystery if Jason Morgan is Dex Heller’s father in General Hospital

Dex Heller, played by Evan Hofer, entered Port Charles as a complex character with a shadowy past. Dex revealed to Josslyn Jacks that his childhood was far from ideal, marked by an abusive father, a neglectful mother, and a family dynamic filled with misery. 

Now, fans have long speculated that Dex could be Jason Morgan’s long-lost son. Jason has been absent from Port Charles for years, presumed dead. However, his return in February 2024 has reignited theories about his connection to Dex.

Jason’s history of being away from Port Charles for extended periods leaves room for the possibility that he fathered a child without knowing it. Fans are wondering whether Dex’s mother had a fleeting relationship with Jason, leading to his birth.

Another compelling theory points to Jagger Cates (now known as John) as Dex’s father. Jagger’s return to Port Charles after years away has fueled speculation about his potential connection to Dex. Some fans believe Jagger might have known about Dex’s true paternity all along, using it as leverage to keep Jason away from Port Charles. This theory ties into Jagger’s complicated history with Jason and his vendetta against Sonny.

Evan Hofer, who brought Dex to life, addressed the paternity rumors in an interview with Soap Opera Digest, acknowledging the fan theories about both Jason and Jagger. While he remained neutral about which character he’d prefer as Dex’s father, he expressed, “Whatever the writers decide in whatever cool way sounds good to me.”
