Jequan Jackson (l.) and Linden Ashby are called to action at GH and Y&R, respectively.

Who’s Coming

Bold and Beautiful

Jamison Belushi: (April): After handling a secret DNA request last week, the hospital’s lab tech is going to be called into action once again.

Ted King (Jack Finnegan): Last week ended with Li (Naomi Matsuda) having accused her ex-husband of fathering her sister Poppy’s (Romy Park) daughter, Luna (Lisa Yamada) — and learning she her suspicions were unfounded. The two will see each other again this week.

Days of our Lives

Maggie Carney (Rita): Last seen in May 2024, EJ’s (Dan Feuerriegel) assistant will be back on the Salem scene. The actress has also been featured in TV series like American Horror Stories, Abbott Elementary and The Rookie.

Roslyn Gentle (Woman in White): The woman in white returns this week to keep Ava (Tamara Braun) away from Brady (Eric Martsolf).

Selena Moreno (Stripper): The action at “Rafe’s” (Galen Gering) bachelor party will add a bit more spice than the Brady Pub is used to seeing. Moreno has also been seen in the TV series Bubbleproof, the films Guitar Man and Jexi as well as the short inter mission.

Finley Rose Slater (Rachel Black): The young troublemaker will be keeping her father and her mom on their toes. Will Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) get to the bottom of what’s driving her daughter’s bad behavior?

General Hospital

Braedyn Bruner (Emma Scorpio-Drake): Anna (Finola Hughes) will be confronting her granddaughter who was already questioned by Felicia (Kristina Wagner) recently. What kind of trouble is she in now?

Samantha Cutaran (Nurse Gail): This medical professional interacts with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) at Turning Woods. Cutaran has appeared on such series as Criminal Minds, Murderville and Home Economics.

William Dixon (Ferner): Dixon returns this week as the administrator of Turning Woods. He last appeared in November 2024, when Lulu (Alexa Havins) was making her escape from the facility after coming out of her coma.

Jequan Jackson (Quinn): Jackson returns to the canvas this week as a PCU buddy of Kai’s (Jens Austin Astrup). The actor made his Port Charles debut in November 2024.

Michael E. Knight (Martin Grey): The busy lawyer will continue to go toe-to-toe with Tracy (Jane Elliot) this week as the two have a run-in.

Robyn Lynne Norris (Nurse): Norris’s character also works at Turning Woods.

Parry Shen (Brad Cooper): Brad makes an outrageous request this week but to whom will he be making it? Will this have something to do with his GH boss Portia (Brook Kerr) or perhaps Lucas (Van Hansis) — the man he wants to win back? Or could this involve someone else?

Young and Restless

Linden Ashby (Cameron Kirsten): Sharon (Sharon Case) conjures up her dark side once again this week in the form of the man who once tormented her (and who she killed back in 2023).

Valarie Pettiford (Amy Lewis): Look for her to interact with Nate (Sean Dominic) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) at his penthouse apartment.

Ray Wise (Ian Ward): Ian kicks his plan to torment the Newmans into high gear this week. He will be holding Victor (Eric Braeden), Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Michael (Christian J. LeBlanc) at gunpoint.

 

Who’s Going

Young and Restless

Colleen Zenk (Aunt Jordan): After drinking the poisoned tea at the end of the episode on January 23, it certainly appeared on January 24 that Genoa City had finally seen the end of Jordan. As such, Zenk, who first appeared on Y&R back in November 2023, has wrapped up her current run on the soap. Check out this photo gallery of her villainy.
