General Hospital comings and goings confirm Mac Scorpio's final scenes air this week as the actor is currently on medical leave. Also, one GH character is recast and a familiar face returns. Get a look at the latest casting changes for the ABC sudsfest.
GH casting updates see Mac Scorpio (John J. York) leaving the sudser, and his last scenes take place this week. His portrayer, John J. York, is battling two blood and bone marrow disorders — Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Multiple Smoldering Myeloma.
Thankfully, John has a potential donor but will need to take at least three months, possibly four months off from filming.
Indeed, there's a lot more story to tell for Mac because he still doesn't know Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) is his son. We need to see Mac's reaction to Cody's lie and their father-son reunion. We wish John luck and a speedy recovery and can't wait for his return.
Additional General Hospital casting news promises Danny Morgan has been recast with young actor Asher Jared Antonyzyn. Zakary Risinger played the role for the last two years, but his time on GH has come to an end.
As Halloween kicks off this week in Port Charles, we'll see Danny trick-or-treating with his mom, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), and the rest of the kids. But, things take a dangerous turn.
Also, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) recently returned to General Hospital. Plus, Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) is still sticking around. No doubt, there will be plenty of family drama for both of them.
GH casting news also confirms Lily Fisher is back on as Georgie Spinelli. She's the daughter of Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson).
Also, Spinelli recently came back to help save Ava Jerome (Maura West). So, hopefully, he'll stay on the canvas for a while. Additionally, Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) may be on his way out soon. It looks like the thug will be heading to prison for kidnapping and trying to kill Ava. But, most likely, he'll be back at some point.
Plus, it's likely Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) will be staying on now that the villain is out of Pentonville. The action and drama keep coming on GH. Don't miss the final scenes of Mac Scorpio, and keep watching to see his return to the ABC soap.
