A long-missing character is back at General Hospital, while another beloved one has said goodbye. Here’s the latest comings and goings casting news from the ABC soap. Find out which actors or actresses are boarding the show in contract, recurring, or day-player roles and if any of your other favorites are leaving.

The Week of  August 19, 2024

After eight long years, Rick Hearst is back on the scene as Ric Lansing this week. The character resurfaces in Port Charles to support his daughter, Molly (Kristen Vaganos). Hearst was originally cast as Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) half-brother in 2002 and stayed with the soap until 2009. His last run was from 2014 to 2016.  

The Deception crew – Jane Elliot’s Tracy, Lynn Herring’s Lucy, Kirsten Storms’ Maxie, and Eva LaRue’s Natalia  — is visiting Home & Heart. That likely means that Morgan Fairchild is back as Haven de Havilland, hostess of the shopping channel’s show, A Little Bit of Haven. Fairchild made her last appearance as Haven in April.

Jacqueline Grace Lopez has completed her run as Blaze. The singer left town and her girlfriend, Kristina (Kate Mansi), to be the opening act for a major music star’s world tour. Lopez joined the show’s cast in 2022.

Philip Cass has been playing Clement, the pharmacist Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) hired to underdose Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) bipolar medication.
