Sudden Actress Swap! Additional Casting News

Actress Swap! New Addition To Cast!

by Leph Turn

Look for actress Ashley Jones (Bridget, B& to join the cast of GH as "Sarah Webber". A few months ago we broke news that Erin Hershey Presley was to play the role, but due to the actress' pregnancy, the show decided to recast the role with her permission. Originally the writers planned to write her pregnancy into the show once they learned the news, but she didn't want them to make special concessions for her. It is expected that she will join the show in a yet unnamed role next year after her child is born. There are no hard feelings between Erin & GH and the storyline with Sarah Webber will continue on as scheduled.

Joining the returning Sarah Webber will be her and Liz's brother "Steven Lars Webber". Steven will be played by actor Nolan North, best known for his role on Port Charles as Dr. Chris Ramsey. The role of Steven was last played by Shaun Benson in 2005. We called the show for comment and was surprised when they agreed to do so. "Steven is returning to the show to be with his family. His sisters will be going through a rough time come 2007 and will need to be there to help them. The show is also in need of male characters. There have been many female additions to the cast. There is much story to be told with the Steven character."

Look for Nolan & Ashley to begin airing in two weeks.

We have received word that contract negotiations between Ingo Rademacher and GH have been going very well. It is expected the actor will be bumped back up to contract status in mid 2007. Rumor has it that "Jax" could be paired with Ashley Jones' character "Sarah" or Eileen Davidson's character "Victoria".
