New episodes of The CW’s “The Flash” don’t premiere until October, but we already have some idea of what’s about to happen: “The Young and the Restless” alum Hartley Sawyer (ex-Kyle Abbott) has joined the cast for the upcoming fourth season of the series in the recurring role of Ralph Dibny (aka Elongated Man).

Five years since departing CBS’ “The Young and the Restless,” actor Peter Porte (ex-Ricky Williams) has made a name for himself with appearances in such shows as “NCIS,” “Living with Models” and more recently starring as Brad on “Baby Daddy.” On Saturday, August 5, the actor will star opposite Amanda Righetti (“Colony,” “The Mentalist”) in the Hallmark Channel original movie, “Love at the Shore.”

Former “Devious Maids” and “Entourage” star Dania Ramirez (ex-Rosie Falta) was said to be joining the upcoming seventh season of “Once Upon a Time” as a series regular, but now comes word from ABC that she’ll not only be playing the mother of an adult Henry’s child, but she’ll also be playing a different version of the beloved Cinderella.

Maurice Benard

From crime lord to crime drama. “General Hospital’s” Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) is guest-starring on ABC’s “Castle.” The actor will appear in the 19th episode of Season 8 of the ABC drama, which looks to be airing in April, with Jonathan Silverman.
