General Hospital
On the General Hospital front, Vernee Watson is finally back on the scene as Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) feisty aunt, Stella Henry. She shares scenes with Brooke Kerr’s Portia on Tuesday, June 8. Watson made her last appearance on the soap in October of 2020, when her character headed back to Europe to visit a newly discovered relative.
Kimberly J. Brown appears to have wrapped up her short-term run as nurse Chloe. The character fell down a boarded-up shaft in the woods, last week, after an altercation with Kirsten Storms’ Maxie.
The Bold and the Beautiful
Over at The Bold and the Beautiful Denise Richards is back for more airtime as Shauna Fulton. She’ll share powerful scenes with her TV daughter, Katrina Bowden, who plays Flo, as Shauna continues to dodge questions about “her fling” with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and interact with Rena Sofer, as Shauna and Quinn discuss the big secret they’re keeping.
With Liam (Scott Clifton) in the slammer, expect to see more appearances by cops and prison workers. Juan Blasquez turns up as a prison guard on Monday, June 7. Please note that air dates may be subject to change.
