Patricia Bethune is heading back to the soap as Mary Pat, the nasty nurse who works at Ferncliff. She debuted on the soap back in June, when Carly (Laura Wright) was wrongfully committed to the sanitarium, and was last appeared on screen in August.

Bethune is slated to begin airing again later this month. Look for her character to be involved in the Kevin/Ryan (Jon Lindstrom) switcheroo storyline during her upcoming stint with the soap.

Katelyn MacMullen is playing Willow Tait, Aiden’s (Jason David) concerned teacher. She made her first appearance, last week, in scenes with Rebecca Herbst’s Elizabeth and Roger Howarth’s Franco. The role is recurring.

General Hospital (GH) airs weekdays on ABC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
