Who’s coming and who’s going from the casts of The Bold and the Beautiful (BB), Days of our Lives (DAYS), General Hospital (GH), and The Young and the Restless (YR)?
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.
It’s time to say goodbye to Days of our Lives supercouple “Elani.” Lamon Archey, who debuted on the soap opera in 2017, makes his final appearance as Eli Grant this week. The actor had been recurring the past few months while doing double duty on the Fox series All American.
Accompanying Archey out of Salem will be his TV wife, Sal Stowers, who has portrayed Lani Price Grant since 2015. She’s slated to make her final appearance on Friday, July 1.
Meanwhile, on the return front, Casey Moss pops back in as JJ Deveraux in the wake of his sister Abigail Deveraux DiMera’s (Marci Miller) murder. Look for Moss to share emotional scenes with Billy Flynn’s Chad DiMera on Wednesday, June 29.
George DelHoyo returns to stir things up as Orpheus. He’ll deliver surprising news to Evan (Brock Kelly) on Tuesday, June 28.
Rebecca Herbst took to Twitter to quell the rumors that she’s been axed from General Hospital, now that her character, Elizabeth Webber Baldwin, has been shipped off to Shadybrook mental hospital. “Just thought I’d shut down some rumors that have been circulating: I haven’t been fired. I’m not on vacation. I don’t have COVID. My kids don’t keep me from working. Nor do I have cramps (the best one yet),” she posted on Twitter.
Primetime soap vet Morgan Fairchild (Falcon Crest, Flamingo Road) airs as Haven de Havilland this week, a home shopping hostess. Longtime soap opera fans will also remember Fairchild for her roles as Jennifer Pace on Search for Tomorrow and Sydney Chase and Debbie Tompkins on The City. Most recently, she played Anjelica Deveraux on Days of our Lives back in 2017.
Susan Batten, best known for her runs as Luna Moody on One Life to Live and Connor Walsh on As the World Turns, is set to air as Flora Gardens. She’ll share scenes opposite Sofia Mattsson’s Sasha and others.
After a six-month break, Judith Chapman is back at The Young and the Restless for another run as Gloria Bardwell. The character was last on the Genoa City scene in January. There’s no word as to the length of her stay this time around.
Leigh-Ann Rose pops back in on the soap opera as Imani Benedict, too. She’ll share scenes with Sean Dominic’s Nate on Wednesday, June 29.
