Just as Kevin seemingly says goodbye to Port Charles on General Hospital, his portrayer Jon Lindstrom was added to the opening credits for his other daytime role on Beyond The Gates.
Key Takeaways
- Jon Lindstrom returned to GH in December after starring on Beyond The Gates.
- Kevin just left Port Charles with Ace to keep him safe from Sidwell.
- Lindstrom is now included on the opening credits of BTG.
Goodbye Kevin, Hello Joey
After a year long absence from GH, Lindstrom returned as Kevin in December, just in time to learn about his wife’s trouble with Sidwell (Carlo Rota). While it seemed like Kevin would be Sidwell’s next target, that theory may have been nipped in the bud now that Laura (Genie Francis) asked Kevin to leave Port Charles and take Ace with him.
Both Kevin and Ace seemed to be on Sidwell’s radar, but according to Laura during the January 7 episode of GH, Kevin and Ace have already left for Ireland, putting to bed any theories that Kevin would be Sidwell’s victim or that he’s really been Ryan Chamberlain all along.
Now, just as Kevin leaves Port Charles again, eagle-eyed soap fans noticed that Lindstrom is now featured during the opening credits of BTG. Lindstrom has played the villainous Joey Armstrong since the soap’s debut in February 2025, but only as a recurring character.
One BTG viewer on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out that Lindstrom replaces Ben Gavin (Derek), who was removed from the show’s closing credits as of Season 2.
Others reacted with excitement for Lindstrom’s appearance on the opening credits. “Omg Jon Lindstrom is now in the opening credits!! How awesome,” wrote one viewer, while another noted, “Wondered when Jon Lindstrom would be a regular on #BeyondTheGates, because it feels like he is on more than the regular actors.”
