A soap superstar’s General Hospital debut is inching closer. Here’s the show’s latest comings and goings casting news
Find out if any other popular stars from yesteryear are joining the soap this week or in the near future, if any newcomers are boarding in contract, recurring, or day-player roles, and if any of your favorites are leaving the ABC drama.
The Week of September 22, 2025
One Life to Live alumna Erika Slezak, remembered for her powerful role as Victoria Lord, has begun filming scenes at GH.
Although her character’s identity has not yet been revealed, it’s been confirmed that she’ll have ties to the recently departed Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson).
A surprise guest is set to interrupt Monica’s memorial service on Friday, September 26. Might it be Slezak’s new character? Tune in to find out.
Expect to see Rena Sofer resurface as Lois Cerullo next week. She’ll be one of many on hand to pay their respects to the late Monica.
Ryan Paevey, who was killed off as Nathan West in 2018, is back on the Port Charles scene. (The actor recently reflected on his time away from the soap.) He debuted on Friday, September 19. Expect to see more of Paevey this week.
Michael Knight pops in as Martin Grey. His character makes a mysterious phone call on Tuesday, September 23.
Gary James Fuller is back on the scene as young James West, Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) son. On Wednesday, September 24, Felicia (Kristina Wagner) frets about her grandson.
Asher Antonyzyn and Finn Carr also get more airtime as “brothers” Danny Morgan and Rocco Falconeri. The pair continues to factor heavily into the storyline.
Goodbye Monica
It’s going to be a sad week in Port Charles as everyone gathers to say goodbye to Monica (the late Leslie Charleson).
The episodes will double as GH’s tribute to Charleson, and as the memorial continues into Friday, someone unexpected will show up. Could it be Ryan Paevey’s mystery character who debuted on Friday, or maybe Erika Slezak’s unknown character?
Portia and Isaiah
Despite assuring each other that what happened between them – more than once – can never happen again, Portia (Brook Kerr) will once again once again seek out Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson). Will this be for another round in bed, or perhaps something GH related?
Drew’s Orders
Of course, it wouldn’t be a week in Port Charles without some Drew (Cameron Mathison) drama. On Tuesday, he’ll be dishing out more orders, but to who? He’s already convinced Martin (Michael E. Knight) to work for him again, and with Monica’s death hitting The Quartermaines, it could be the perfect time to blindside them all.
