A popular family is out at General Hospital, at least for now, while a long-missing character returns. Here’s the soap’s latest comings and goings casting news for the week of July 27-31.
The Week of July 27, 2026
In a surprise move, the soap has decided to write out one of its most beloved families: Maxie and Spinelli’s blended clan. The story twist is likely due to actress Kirsten Storms’ off-screen woes, which prevent her from committing to portraying Maxie at the moment. Hence, following the news that Spinelli landed a new job in Australia, the couple and their kids are relocating. So Storms’ Maxie, Bradford Anderson’s Spinelli, Gary James Fuller’s James, Lily Fisher’s Georgie, and Miley and Riley Plonski’s Bailey will be off the canvas for the foreseeable future.
Kelly Kruger debuts as Serena Baldwin on Thursday, July 30. The character is the daughter of Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) and his late wife, Dominique (Shell Danielson); however, Lucy (Lynn Herring) is her surrogate mother. Serena was originally portrayed by Carly Schroeder and was last seen in 2017. Kruger previously played Mackenzie Browning on The Young and the Restless and Eva, a publicist, on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Paige Herschell returns as Jacinda Bracken. She has intriguing scenes with Rory Gibson’s Michael on Tuesday, July 28.
Finn Carr gets more screen time as Rocco Falconeri. He airs on Tuesday, July 28.
Asher Antonyzyn is back as Danny Morgan throughout the week. The actor recently expressed his appreciation for the show’s devoted fans. Look for Amanda Setton’s Brook Lynn to defend the teenager on Friday, July 31.
