This has been rumored about for most of the past week but now it's been confirmed.

Tuc Watkins will be crossing over to Port Charles.

"We always look forward to Tuc's visits," headwriter Ron Carlivati says. "We're hoping this might be a more permanent stay, if his schedule permits."

What brings David Vickers to Port Charles?

"His career is floundering and so is his marriage. Dorian had a sex scandal with an intern and this wrecked his film stardom. He's going to try to get his own TV show."

Story ideas?

"He's going to have a lot of laughs with Jason, Sonny, and Carly. I love these characters but they need more comedy. He's going to say things like, 'What, do you only own one color?' to Jason and 'Hey, don't shoot me!' or, 'Don't throw that at me!' to Sonny."

Sounds great. What about any romance?

"David's still pining for Dorian, but you never know. Port Charles has plenty of beautiful women."

Any plans to address Tuc's previous role as Dr. Pierce Dorman?

"Sure. When David meets Monica, he says, 'Remember when you consulted on Real Brain Surgeons of Beverly Hills and held a power drill to my skull?' It's hilarious."

Any other teasers?

"David will have a surprising tie to Spinelli. Let's just say - like father like son."

Interesting... I guess.

GOOD ONE, CARL!

Happy April Fools Day!

I'd honestly much rather see David Vickers on GH than Starr Manning or John McBain.

I almost had a heart attack. You are evil Carl!

Yeah, but admit it: for a second there, this all sounded legit.

How sad is it that I could actually see Ron and Frank doing this.

I really don't think that this would happen, since Tuc Watkins was never one of their pets. I am shocked that JPL was never asked to come to GH, however.

Dont give RC and FV any ideas or JPL will end up as a Dillon Quartermaine recast

.... and FF as a recast Georgie Jones.

...and of course do not forget, "The role of Audrey Hardy will now be played by Tuc Watkins."
