It’s a wrap for Jeff Kober and his role as the murderous Cyrus Renault. After five fiendish years as the killer mobster, his character met his demise last week when he was shot dead by Josslyn (Eden McCoy). Kober joined the soap in 2020 and earned a Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Supporting Actor in 2022.
Meanwhile, the status of Jon Lindstrom, who has played Kevin Collins and his psychotic twin Ryan Collins on and off since 1992, remains uncertain. Lindstrom has landed the role of Joey Armstrong on the upcoming CBS soap Beyond the Gates, which films in Atlanta. Hence, his future as Laura’s (Genie Francis) husband on GH, which films in Los Angeles, has yet to be determined.
Guy Wilson, remembered for his stint as Will Horton on Days of our Lives, is temporarily subbing for Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer. Wilson made his first appearance in the role last week. No reason has been given for Jackson’s absence. However, he is already back at the studio filming and will resume appearing as Lucky later this month.
Charlie Besso has been cast as Aiden’s (Colin Cassidy) boyfriend, Tobias. The daytime newcomer, whose credits include The Calling, Will Trent, and Fallout, made his debut last week.
Chris McKenna is back as Jack Brennan. The WSB official discusses his budding relationship with Carly (Laura Wright) on Tuesday, February 25.
