Here’s the latest casting news from the ABC soap.

The week of January 15, 2018
After months off the canvas, it looks like Lucas is finally about to resurface in Port Charles. Actor Ryan Carnes, who played the character from 2004 to 2005 and returned in 2014, was at the show’s Hollywood studios on January 11.

A behind-the-scenes photo of Carnes with his TV mother, Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie), was posted on GH’s official Twitter page along with a message that he and Zeman had been filming scenes together.

Due to the lead time between production and actual airing, look for Carnes to turn up on screen in February. With Carnes back, fans can only hope that actor Parry Shen (Brad) is close behind. After all Lucas and Brad were married back in 2016. However, following the duo’s wedding their air time began to seriously dwindle.
