‘General Hospital’ Comings and Goings Aug 26-30: New Faces & Billy Miller Update

General Hospital comings and goings for the week of August 26-30 bring more outs and ins. Billy Miller‘s Drew Cain dropped off the radar literally. Drew went with no fanfare, which is disappointing. But there may be more Drew Cain scenes. Plus, Helena Cassadine’s (Constance Towers) return seemed quite short, didn’t it? Hmm… And Kiki Jerome’s return was fun, but is it done? Also, there are a few new faces headed to Port Charles in the next weeks of the ABC sudser. Take a look at the revolving door at GH.

General Hospital Comings and Goings August 26-30: Billy Miller’s Final Air Date or no?

The GH exit for Billy Miller as Drew Cain seemed like a non-event. Drew said goodbye to no one, sent a few texts, hopped a private jet and left town. For an Emmy-award winning actor like Billy Miller, that seemed less than he deserved. Rather like Drew Cain slipped out a side door rather than getting the big exit many fans expected. They announced a “final” air date for Billy Miller but that doesn’t mean they didn’t film some other scenes for Drew Cain.

Last week, Peter August (Wes Ramsey) called some cronies from his Heinrik days and ordered them to derail Drew Cain so he didn’t reach Andre Maddox (Anthony Montgomery). Of course, Peter didn’t give a kill order for Drew Cain, but he wasn’t very specific either. Perhaps General Hospital spoilers will offer us one last scene that’s a more fitting moment for Billy Miller. Fingers crossed. Next week, expect word to spread that his plane was lost en route and let’s hope we get one last look at Billy Miller.

GH Comings and Goings Week of August 26: Michael Knight Joins Cast

General Hospital comings and goings also confirm the wonderful Michael E Knight joined the cast. He was last on Young and the Restless as Dr Simon Neville, a sketchy physician. So far, the only hints are that he’s NOT in scenes with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) – at least not yet. The two are pals and JPS said he hopes he gets to work with his friend while he’s on GH. Since he’s got practice in a white lab coat, maybe he’ll be a new doctor.

But given the memory mapping stuff cropping up, he may be in deep with that. After all, many docs might have been messing with minds at the WSB and DVX. He could also be the guy keeping Cassandra Pierce (Jessica Tuck) on the move and out of sight of the WSB. Aside from Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin), General Hospital spoilers remind the show is light on villains right now, so maybe he’s a bad guy.

General Hospital: Helena Cassadine & Kiki Jerome – Done or More to Come?

GH comings and goings wonder whether Helena Cassadine and Kiki Jerome were just one and done. That doesn’t seem likely. With access to talent like that, and the rate they film, maybe the powers that be at the CBS sudser filming several scenes to use later. After all, Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) doesn’t seem likely to end anytime soon. As for Helena, there may be more story to tell as people try to sort the memory mapping project to get Dranco out and restore Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth). So, you might not have seen the last of these ladies yet!

Also, General Hospital casting news for the week has Michelle Argyris playing “Kendra”. Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) attends an exercise class and she may be the teacher. RuPaul’s Drag Race phenom Manila Luzon comes soon for a big appearance at the Floating Rib. Scout Wyatt Hoover (Patrick Gibbons) turns up, which seems pretty random. Also Vernee Watson remains MIA as Aunt Stella while Finola Hughes is back shooting so Anna Devane should be back in Hammy Finn’s arms soon. Watch to see what happens soon on the ABC sudser and whether Drew Cain and Billy Miller get a more apropos goodbye than a text message sent to Sam… Stay tuned.
