Who’s Going
General Hospital
Bryce Durfee (WSB Agent Vaughn): Durfee, a fixture on the show as Vaughn from March 2025 until November 2025, popped up on the Friday, July 3 episode. His short-term comeback concluded on Monday, July 6, when Vaughn visited his ex-lover, Josslyn (Eden McCoy), before heading off on his next assignment. That same day, Durfee and his wife, Amber, revealed in a joint post on Instagram that they have moved out of Los Angeles. “It’s official,” they wrote. “[We] packed up the California sunshine, drove across the country, and we are officially living in Vermont!”
Andrew Hawkes (WSB Director Ross Cullum): The corrupt Cullum was shot dead on Thursday, July 2, and Hawkes has exited the show after a six-month run. In his exclusive exit interview with Digest, the actor said he would “say yes in a heartbeat” if GH somehow figured out a way to bring him back.
Ryan Paevey (Cassius Faison): Paevey has ended his Port Charles comeback, which kicked off in September 2025. His last episode aired on Monday, July 6 — but with the twist that Cassius did not die at Cullum’s hands, the show allowed for the possibility that Paevey could return down the line as the twin brother of the character he originally played from 2013-18, Nathan West. “The door is always open,” Executive Producer Frank Valentini told TV Insider.
Who’s Staying
General Hospital
Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis): The Daytime Emmy-winning veteran, who will mark her 30th year in Port Charles this September, has inked a deal to remain with the show for three more years.
