Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring or day player roles? Are any well remembered or beloved stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join the General Hospital fold in surprise new parts? Here’s the latest casting news from the ABC soap.
The week of November 25, 2019
Big news for GH fans, particularly fans of the Quartermaine clan. Jane Elliot is set to reprise her role as Tracy Quartermaine next month. It’s being labeled a holiday visit, but rumor is it could amount to more.
Elliot announced her retirement from the business in 2017 and made her last GH appearance that May. At the time, Traci ventured off to start a new life on her own and was last seen running in to her ex-husband Luke (Anthony Geary) in Amsterdam.
Anthony Montgomery returns as Andre Maddox, this week. The doctor is summoned back to Port Charles in hopes of turning Franco (Roger Howarth) back into his old self.
Rebecca Budig is reportedly out, again, as Hayden Barnes. The actress returned to the soap in July. Tamara Braun made her last appearance as Dr. Kim Nero last week. She created the role back in 2017, after previously playing Carly from 2001 to 2005.
Please note that due to coverage of the impeachment hearings, air dates may be subject to change.
GH made its debut in 1963 and is the second longest-running daytime soap opera in American history. The longest-running sudser is Guiding Light. While it’s not the longest-running sudser, General Hospital is the longest-running soap opera currently on air.
The daytime drama outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households! From Luke (Tony Geary) and Laura’s (Genie Francis) gripping romance and wedding, to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his mobster activities, GH knows how to please their viewers.
More than five decades of gripping drama has kept the daytime sudser on the air as other soap operas were axed. It is one of only four remaining soap operas currently on the air. The other three daytime dramas include Days of our Lives, The Young and the Restless (YR), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB).
