Guiding Light veteran Robert Newman, fondly remembered as Josh Newman, takes over the role this week. His first airdate is Wednesday, February 9.

Beth Maitland took to Instagram to report that she’s back at work at the soap, along with a photo of the show’s CBS studio complex. Look for Traci Abbott to be in Genoa City again soon.
