When ABC’s On the Red Carpet spoke to some of the stars of General Hospital before the 2024 Daytime Emmy Awards, they also spoke to the soap’s executive producer, Frank Valentini. When asked what he could tease about what viewers can expect to see coming up on GH, he thought for a moment and then dropped a particularly juicy bombshell!
“I’ll tease that a former cast member is coming back,” he revealed, “and I think the audience will go crazy for him.”
Valentini put extra emphasis on “him” to make sure fans knew that it was definitely an actor, not an actress coming back to the soap, and the speculation started flying fast and furious!
While some suspect he’s simply referring to John J. York’s return as Mac following his medical leave, that return has already been announced by GH, and since he just took time off to receive cancer treatments, York isn’t exactly a former cast member.
The other fan-favorite guesses so far are Bryan Craig bringing Morgan back from the dead and Jonathan Jackson returning as Lucky. Some also wondered if Roger Howarth would be coming back as yet another new character or if perhaps Ted King would resurrect Alcazar as the real head of Pikeman!
“I would say to the fans: keep watching, keep supporting us, and keep us on our toes,” Valentini declared. So stay tuned to see who comes back to Port Charles, but first, share your opinion in our online poll below!
Meet Eden McCoy’s Boyfriend Jonathan Heit
Josslyn has had a roller coaster of a love life on General Hospital but portrayer Eden McCoy is very happy with boyfriend Jonathan Heit! The actress’ birthday was on June 10, and Heit shared a cute photo of them sitting together on the beach where she was leaning back to kiss him while it looked like he was going to take a bite out of her cheek!
“This year I found out there are benefits to yours being before mine,” Heit wrote of McCoy’s special day. “Happy birthday to everyone’s favorite girl and my favorite snack.”
The second picture in his Instagram post was a text exchange about the picture where Heit claimed it for himself to post on her birthday and she happily agreed. And in the comments, McCoy declared: “Thanks for being the air [that I] breathe.”
Heit also shared some additional photos and videos of the couple in his Instagram stories, including a shot of them kissing at her birthday party where he simply wrote: “I love you.”
Heit is a former child actor whose IMDb page lists an uncredited appearance in a 2006 episode of GH as “Little Boy!” He has also appeared in shows like ER, Monk, and How I Met Your Mother as well as in films like Valentine’s Day and Date Night. Later in his career the actor began doing more voice work and could be heard on animated series like Captain Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Family Guy.
In 2014, Heit opened the Heit Gallery, which he calls “a modern take on the traditional gallery” with an online presence as well as pop-up galleries to differentiate it from the traditional white-walled art galleries.
They make a very cute couple, so please join us in wishing them every happiness together!
