As previously reported, former “General Hospital” star Max Gail (ex-Mike Corbin) will be appearing in the Friday, April 1 episode of CBS’ “Magnum P.I.” The actor will portray Bob Braddock, a terminally ill veteran who bonds with Magnum (Jay Hernandez) while the investigator is volunteering at the No Veteran Dies Alone Program.
In the episode, entitled “Remember Me Tomorrow,” Magnum hopes to reunite Bob with his estranged family. Meanwhile, Higgins (Perdita Weeks) finds herself in a complicated situation when 12-year-old Ella (Hala Finley) asks for help cracking a triple homicide that involves her mother.
In a first look preview (shown below), watch as Bob gets into a disagreement with his nurse over the plant-based food she’s giving him to eat. He tells her, “Lady, I’m gonna be dead before this comes out the other end.” Enter Magnum, who, after knocking on Bob’s door, introduces himself as a rep from the We Honor Vets/No Veteran Dies Alone program. Bob isn’t too happy to hear from him as he didn’t sign up for the program and wants nothing to do with the program regardless of who did.
Check out Gail with “Magnum” star Jay Hernandez in the video clip below.
“Magnum P.I.” airs Fridays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Gail exited “General Hospital” in September 2020 after his character died from a battle with Alzheimer’s. The actor has subsequently appeared on multiple occasions throughout 2021 as a ghost version of the character, appearing before his son, Sonny (Maurice Benard), and others during their time of need. Earlier this year, Gail guest-starred in an episode of “Chicago Med.”
Gail took home the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Mike Corbin on “General Hospital” in 2019 and 2021, respectively.
