Nancy Lee Grahn, William deVry

More than a month since filming what was expected to be his final scenes as Julian Jerome on ABC’s “General Hospital,” following the two sides hitting an impasse during contract negotiations, actor William deVry and the daytime drama series have finally reached a deal that will keep the fan favorite on the soap opera for the foreseeable future.

Matt Cohen, How to Get Away with Murder

As previously reported, actor Matt Cohen (“How to Get Away with Murder”) has recently joined the cast of ABC’s “General Hospital” in the role of Griffin Munro, Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) new doctor who shares a past connection with someone already in Port Charles. He’ll debut on the Friday, February 5 episode of the soap. In the meantime, why not have your first look at what the new hot doctor looks like standing next to his rowdy patient?

When news first hit the web in August 2012 of Duke Lavery being very much alive on ABC’s “General Hospital,” it not only became a trending topic in the United States on Twitter, but also worldwide. Nearly three years later, it looks like the character will be heading back to the grave as portrayer Ian Buchanan is said to have recently learned that the writers have plans to off the character once more. It would be a huge mistake on their part as it would defeat the entire purpose of resurrecting the character in the first place.
