General Hospital
Is Jason Morgan alive and well and heading back to General Hospital? One Life To Live alum Josh Kelly, who played Cutter Wentworth on the defunct ABC soap, is joining the cast in an undisclosed contract role. According to Deadline, the character will impact the lives of Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco,) Dante Falconeri (Dom Zamprogna), and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), which sounds suspiciously like Jason Morgan, who was previously portrayed by Steve Burton on the soap opera.
Gregory Harrison makes another appearance as Gregory Chase. He’ll share scenes with Jophielle Love’s Violet on Thursday, May 19.
Stephanie Erb has reportedly wrapped up her run as Alexis Davis. Erb temporarily replaced Nancy Lee Grahn, while she was recovering from back surgery.
That was Jen Ray playing Chelsea Lam, the psychic who tried to advise Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). Ram previously appeared on the show back in 2019.
Days of our Lives
Good news for Lucas Horton fans. Bryan R. Dattilo is returning to Days of our Lives for his next story arc. Look for Lucas to resurface in Salem on Tuesday, May 17. The character was last seen in January when he testified at EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) trial, and then rejoined Sami Brady DiMera (Alison Sweeney) in Italy.
