Soap Opera Comings And Goings: Beloved Daughters Return & Villains Exit

Who’s coming and who’s going from the soap opera casts of The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless?

Soap Opera Casting For The Week of July 3, 2023

Here’s a list of the top exit and entrance news from all four daytime dramas. Find out if any of your favorite performers from yesteryear are returning to the shows you follow, or if any new actors or actresses have been cast in contract, recurring, or day-player roles.

Days of our Lives

Another week, another return at Days of our Lives. Sal Stowers is back on as Lani Price Grant. The former Salem cop was last seen in July of  2022, when she headed to a corrections facility in Washington, D.C., after pleading guilty to killing her biological father, T.R. Coates (William Christian). Look for Lani to begin airing on Tuesday, July 4 to attend Abe Carver’s (James Reynolds) memorial service. The character’s visit won’t be all dismal drama. She’ll also get to celebrate her wedding anniversary with Eli Grant (Lamon Archey), too.  

Miranda Wilson makes her last appearance as Megan DiMera on Wednesday, July 6. The actress, who’s been working without a contract, shared the information on Facebook.

Jasper Newman wrapped up his two-month run as Colin Petersen, on June 29. He debuted on the soap opera as Sloan’s (Jessica Serfaty) brother in April.

General Hospital

One of General Hospital’s premiere villains is back on the scene. Jeff Kober is reprising his role as Cyrus Renault, the former drug lord who’s serving time at Pentonville prison. He’ll interact with Cameron Mathison’s Drew Cain, now that he’s been sentenced to three years in the slammer for insider trading. 

The Young and the Restless

The drama in Daniel Romalotti’s (Michael Graziadei) world will be revving up on The Young and the Restless. Vail Bloom will be making another visit as Heather Stevens, Daniel’s ex and Lucy’s (Lily Brooks O’Briant) mother. Vail will begin airing later this month. There’s no word yet if Brooks O’Briant will be joining her.
