‘General Hospital’ spoilers suggest that Willow Cain (Katelynn MacMullen) may be a far more entertaining and compelling character as a psycho than she’s ever been.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Willow Is Playing Drew Like a Fiddle

 

 

Willow has officially embraced the dark side. She’s found her inner Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier); she’s full-blown coo coo for Cocoa Puffs. No matter how you say it, she’s a lot more interesting these days.

We found out last week that it really was Willow who shot Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). Hate Willow or love to hate her, Katelyn MacMullen deserves recognition for her Emmy-worthy performance as Willow.

From a much-anticipated debut to a veteran’s departure, here’s the very latest casting information about who’s coming and who’s going on General Hospital, Young and Restless, Beyond The Gates, Bold and Beautiful, and Days of Our Lives.

Jordi Vilasuso (Grayson Perez): Daytime Emmy-winning soap vet Vilasuso (ex-Tony, Guiding Light; ex-Rey, Y&R et al) will make his BTG debut on Tuesday, January 13. His character, a lab tech at Garland Memorial Hospital, is introduced in scenes with Jen Jacob (Ashley).

Brayan Nicoletti (RJ Forrester): Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) long-MIA son, last seen in 2024 in the form of Joshua Hoffman, is back in action as of Thursday, January 15. This is the first soap credit for Nicoletti, who is assuming the role.

Hank Northrop (Liam Selejko): Northrop, the son of the late Wayne Northrop (ex-Roman/Alex) and Lynn Herring (Lucy, GH), appears again this week. He will share scenes with Linsey Godfrey (Sarah).

Peter Porte (Dimitri von Leuschner): Dimitri remains in the center of things this week and shares scenes with, among others, Emily O’Brien (Gwen).

Nanzeen Contractor (Acting DA Justine Turner): Justine continues her high-profile efforts to pin Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting on his wife, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen).

Marc Forget (Pascal): The dour dweller of Wyndemere continues to do Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) bidding this week … which doesn’t sound like good news for a captive Anna (Finola Hughes)!

Gary James Fuller (James West): Nathan (Ryan Paevey) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) share scenes with Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) son this week.

Carolyn Hennesy (Diane Miller): Diane has been absent from the canvas since last October, since Daytime Emmy-nominated portrayer Hennesy suffered a broken leg that required multiple surgeries, but she makes her triumphant return on Tuesday, January 13.

Paige Herschell (Jacinda Bracken): Jacinda and Michael’s (Rory Gibson) relationship continues to blossom this week.

Cyrus Hobbi (Yuri): The Quartermaines’ loyal employee is on hand this week to do his best to keep the riffraff — Drew and Martin (Michael E. Knight) — out of the mansion.

Tim Lounibos (Judge Sullivan): As Willow’s trial draws to a close, Lounibos appears again this week as the judge presiding over the intense courtroom proceedings.

Parry Shen (Brad Cooper): Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) bestie has something to say to Jason (Steve Burton) this week.

James Patrick Stuart (Valentin Cassadine): Valentin continues his Port Charles operations this week — and has a risky task to assign to Carly (Laura Wright).

Viron Weaver (Wiley Corinthos): The boy with the most-discussed custom ringtone in daytime notches more air time this week.

Young and Restless
Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman Winters): The actress, who is on recurring status with the show, was back in the studio last week, as shown in a fun behind-the-scenes video shared by Ordway on Instagram.

Who’s Going
Days of Our Lives
Dan Gauthier (Peter Blake): A spokesperson for DAYS confirms that Gauthier has ended his run in the role of Kristen’s seemingly doomed brother. The former One Life to Live star (ex-Kevin Buchanan) made his debut on December 19, 2025.

Young and Restless
Christel Khalil (Lily Winters): The beloved Genoa City vet has commenced her maternity leave as she awaits the birth of her third child (her second with husband Sam Restagno). In the storyline, Lily left town to visit Mattie, one of the two kids she shares with ex-husband Cane (Billy Flynn).

Alumni Report
A Murder Between Friends, a playful whodunit starring Jacob Young (ex-Rick, B&B; ex-Lucky, GH et al), Nadia Bjorlin (ex-Chloe, DAYS), Joan Collins (ex-Alexis, Dynasty) and Trent Garrett (ex-Asher, All My Children), will be released on demand by Vision Films Inc. on January 13. The film was co-directed by Young and Garrett and was produced by Collins. In a statement, Young said, “I couldn’t be more excited for audiences to finally experience this film. This project has been incredibly meaningful to me, not only as a producer and director, but also stepping in front of the camera after a long hiatus as an actor. Working side by side with executive producer and my dear friend Mark Rozzano was a true labor of love from start to finish. Working alongside my talented co-star and longtime friend Nadia Bjorlin of 25 years made the journey even more special.”
