General Hospital Comings and Goings: A Welcome Homecoming For A Longtime Fave

Who’s coming and who’s going from General Hospital (GH)?

Are any favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the near future?

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 December 4, 2017
Denise Alexander is heading home to Port Charles for the holidays as Lesley Webber, Laura’s (Genie Francis) mother. The character’s last appearance on the soap was in 2013.

Kathleen Gati is finally back on the scene as Dr. Liesl Obrecht, and she’s poised for a new storyline.

It looks like the soap will finally be addressing the mystery of her son Nathan’s (Ryan Paevey) paternity. Gati has been off the canvas since her character was fired from the General Hospital staff and retaliated by exacting her revenge against Finn (Michael Easton) and Hayden (Rebecca Budig).

Robert S. Martin III portrays CPO Locke on Tuesday, December 5 and Wednesday, December 6. If the actor looks familiar, it’s because he has appeared on the soap before. Back in May, he played a Port Charles firefighter.
