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

The week of September 4, 2017

Fans waiting for a resolution to the Hayden and Finn (Michael Easton) storyline, that ended quite abruptly when the bride left the groom and skipped town on their wedding day, will finally get one. However, it likely won’t be the one that viewers had been hoping for. Rebecca Budig, who was let go from the soap in late June, airs in her final scenes, this week.

Jean-Christophe Febbrari is back for another appearance as Inspector Desroches. He airs on Monday, September 4.
