General Hospital coming and going

Tho’s coming and who’s going from General Hospital? Here’s the latest casting news from the ABC soap.

Get ready for a big exit, this week, as the show’s murderous DA, Paul Hornsby, strikes again. The character being killed off is a Port Charles mainstay, who’s been a beloved part of the cast since 2012.

On the not-so-beloved front, Jessica Ahlberg resurfaces as Darby on Tuesday, September 17. The character last appeared in scenes with Robert Palmer Watkins (Dillon), Bryan Craig (Morgan), and Hayley Erin (Kiki) to deliver the news that she had contracted an STI.
