SURPRISE!!! James DePaiva’s Coming To General Hospital!!!

It looks like General Hospital (GH) has yet another One Life to Live star arriving in town.

James DePaiva, beloved to OLTL fans as Max Holden for two decades, is taking on a “top secret” role according to a social media announcement tonight.

In a tweeted video, Executive Producer Frank Valentini makes an appearance talking about the hospital, and the camera cuts to DePaiva, who doesn’t say a word, but offers that signature grin.

With ABC once again owning the rights to OLTL, he could return as Max, but fans are already speculating he will be the new Jeff Webber, father of Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Hayden (Rebecca Budig). While we have no idea if that’s true, it would certainly shake things up a bit in their lives.

As Soap Hub learns more details, we’ll bring them to you. Meanwhile, watch the video below.
