Note: It's unknown at this time if Lindstrom will continue portraying Kevin Collins on General Hospital, ala Wally Kurth who appears on both GH (as Ned) and Days of our Lives (as Justin), the latter of which as a contract player.

I had my suspicions. When we saw them as surprise guests during our press junket, I was floored.

Now, when I said it would break the soap internet (still quite early), I didn't mean literally, but I know GH fans will be pissed if this means the end of his appearing as Kevin (albeit he barely appears as is). It only shows that GH wasn't using him because clearly he's willing to work.

Contract or recurring roles? 

Looks like Cady’s been hinting at it on her IG recently as well:

She also randomly posted a flashback to her Emmy win for ATWT (her first stint there being the best acting work of her whole daytime career, IMO):

Cady McClain is a surprise to me.   I find this all surprising because, like Kimberly McCullough, Cady seemed to have transitioned into directing.  Cady acted in a one-woman show at a summer theatre a couple of years ago, but generally didn't do much acting.

She's been the artistic director of a theatre in New York for the past three years

That may have been part of the reason why she did only infrequent short-term stints as substitute Jennifer Horton on DAYS.

Cady lists her various projects here:

I wonder if she'll continue at the Axial Theatre while working part-time at BTG?

The SOD article quotes Cady in a way that makes it sound like a significant role at BTG. (unless it's a short-term significant role?) I don't know.  This sounds rather meaty:
“I’m just so thrilled to be a part of this incredible cast and this amazing show,” McClain enthused. “I think it is so exciting. It’s such a beautiful production [with] such amazing actors, and I have the great pleasure of getting to work a great deal with Karla [Mosley], and we have so much fun— probably too much fun!” Pamela will be in the thick of storyline with Mosley’s character, Dani. “We play very, very, very, very, very dear old friends, and we get up to a bit of trouble,” McClain teased.


Oh wow,  Cady's IG shows she recently dyed her hair red!!!!!  Must be for the BTG role?

Last time I went red with bangs (in 2010) I felt like a new person! As I do now! I love becoming new people, new parts of myself. It’s like unwrapping a present…

Anything that breaks up Kevin and Laura's boring marriage works for me at present! I do love Kevin but I have never liked those two characters together.

I would hope Jon is doing the Wally Kurth special but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. Always happy for Cady, less happy for her latest disastrous hair choice.

I thought the initial contract cast seemed small. Maybe it still is, but it seems like there might be some additions that weren't revealed. 

Did we ever find out what Real Anderws secret project was? I am wondering if he might pop up here too if his new project hasn't been announced.

Headed back to NYC today after a beautiful week of work (can’t share about it yet, but soon!). It is a strange and remarkable time. My soul is the driver but damn if shes not one wild child! Grateful for the work and for friends who keep texting and for students who keep learning, keep reaching, keep trying… and to keep being a student myself! It never ends.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
