GTA 6 fans strongly believe that some popular characters from previous Grand Theft Auto games will make an appearance in the upcoming title.

Their theories are grounded in Rockstar Games’ consistent history of referencing earlier games.

Rockstar has always included nods to its past in each new release, from subtle mentions to fully bringing back old characters.

With GTA 6’s rumored return to Vice City, players expect these references to continue.

Fans are now pointing to two familiar faces—Jerry Kapowitz and Luis Lopez—as strong candidates for making a comeback. Here’s why these characters stand out.

Rockstar’s Pattern: Connecting Old Games

Rockstar has always loved connecting the dots between its GTA titles. Players have spotted these links in every installment.

For example:

Characters often mention events or locations from earlier games. Familiar faces appear unexpectedly, creating excitement for long-time fans.

Fans believe GTA 6 will follow this trend. Even though Vice City’s original story took place decades ago, it’s still Rockstar’s most iconic location.

Fans expect at least a nod to legendary characters like Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance—two key figures in Vice City. A small reference, such as dialogue or Easter eggs, would keep the nostalgia alive.

But fans are now pointing beyond Vice City’s classics. They think Rockstar might reintroduce characters from GTA 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony, a popular DLC.

Jerry Kapowitz: A Story That Fits Vice City

Jerry Kapowitz is a character from GTA 4’s DLC, The Ballad of Gay Tony. Unlike most GTA characters, Jerry managed to escape the chaos alive.

At the end of the DLC, he came into possession of stolen diamonds and planned to move to Vice City to open a gun and liquor store.

This small but clear detail was pointed out by X/Twitter user JustMeRyder.

They explained:

“With Rockstar’s focus on small details, Jerry will likely show up in GTA 6.”

Rockstar is famous for paying attention to such character arcs.

Given Jerry’s plan to relocate to Vice City, fans think this is the perfect opportunity for Rockstar to bring him back.

He could easily appear as a store owner, tying together his story and GTA 6’s new setting.

Luis Lopez: The Perfect Character for Vice City’s Nightlife

Luis Lopez, the main protagonist of The Ballad of Gay Tony, is another strong candidate for a return.

Unlike most GTA main characters, Luis survived the DLC storyline. His survival makes him an easy choice for Rockstar to revisit in GTA 6.

The theory gained more traction after fans noticed something interesting on social media.

Mario D’Leon, the actor who played Luis Lopez, follows Manni Perez—the actress rumored to play Lucia, one of GTA 6’s main characters. She follows him back.

While this may not be direct evidence, fans see it as a potential clue. It wouldn’t be surprising for Rockstar to bring Luis back, especially since his character fits perfectly into Vice City’s environment.

The city’s focus on clubs, nightlife, and luxury aligns with Luis’s background as a nightclub manager.

Fans have shared their thoughts:

“Luis would make the most sense to return. He’s alive, and Vice City fits his story perfectly.”

“They brought back Tony Prince and Yusuf Amir in GTA Online. Bringing Luis back in GTA 6 would make a lot of sense.”

Luis’s character also brings versatility.

He could appear as a successful businessman, club owner, or someone tied to Vice City’s criminal underworld. His return would satisfy older fans while keeping the storyline fresh for new players.

A Word of Caution: Not Every Return Ends Well

While fans are excited about the possibility of seeing Jerry and Luis again, there’s reason to stay cautious. Rockstar has brought back characters in the past, but not all of them get happy endings.

For example, in GTA 5, Johnny Klebitz—the protagonist of GTA 4’s DLC The Lost and Damned—returned, but his story ended quickly and tragically.

Rockstar isn’t afraid to take risks, even with beloved characters.

If Luis or Jerry do return in GTA 6, fans should prepare for any outcome. Rockstar could make them allies, rivals, or even targets as part of the new storyline.

Conclusion

The idea of classic characters returning in GTA 6 is exciting for fans. Rockstar has a strong history of connecting its games, and Vice City is the perfect setting to revisit old stories.

Jerry Kapowitz’s plan to move to Vice City and Luis Lopez’s connection to the nightlife scene make both characters logical fits for GTA 6.

While these theories are not confirmed, they are based on details that align with Rockstar’s storytelling style.

For now, fans will have to wait for official updates. Whether or not Jerry and Luis return, Rockstar is sure to include plenty of references that keep players talking.
