Soap Opera Casting For The Week of May 10, 2021

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.

General Hospital

Roger Howarth is reportedly back on the General Hospital set taping scenes, as a new character slated to debut at the end of the month. The actor was killed off as Franco Baldwin in April, a role he’d played since 2013.

Kimberly J. Brown is set to debut on GH in a new mystery role, this week. The daytime vet is remembered for her role as Marah on Guiding Light.

Kristina Wagner will be popping in as Felicia Scorpio-Jones, when GH airs a special tribute episode to the late John Reilly (Sean Donely), later this month. It will mark her first appearance in a year.

James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) has been cast in a pilot for Disney Channel; however, he has no plans on leaving GH. The actor anticipates being able to tackle both series with some creative scheduling.
