9 Current and Former General Hospital Actors who Guest Starred on Supernatural

Leviathans, Vampires, Archangels, and Lucifer, oh my! The hit horror series Supernatural ran for 15 seasons, first on the WB and then on the CW. One of the show’s leads had soap opera roots. Jensen Ackles was the OG Eric Brady on Days of Our Lives. One of Supernatural’s most valuable assets was its guest stars. It turns out that the show often relied on current and former General Hospital actors to help support the scary drama. We break it down for you.

A Spooky Phenomenon

Supernatural premiered in 2005 and starred Ackles and Jared Padalecki as monster-hunting brothers Dean and Sam Winchester. Over the years, the show had great guest stars, including Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Sterling K. Brown, Aldis Hodge, Gary Cole, Sarah Shahi, Lauren Cohan, and Linda Blair.

Soap stars have also appeared on the show, which ended in 2020. Some familiar faces were DAYS’s Ashley Benson and Roark Critchlow, Young and the Restless‘ Mishael Morgan, Christopher Cousins, and David Tom, All My Children‘s Kathleen Noone and Carrie Genzel, Passions‘ Kim Johnston Ulrich, and Another World‘s Kim Rhodes and Mary Page Keller. But GH has a number of current and former cast members who have played key roles in the late great sci-fi series, which still has a huge fan base today.
