Many followers clamored for “General Hospital” to take Walt Willey on as a regular cast member, but on July 14 on Twitter, he doubted it would happen any time soon due to the strikes that have been plaguing Hollywood. However, he followed that post up with, “But hang in there! Please keep letting the PTB at ‘GH’ know YOUR feelings –- lest they forget! As for me, I would be honored to rejoin my ABC Daytime Family! And that family includes YOU!” And now, there’s good news for fans! TV Line confirmed on August 7 that Willey will be returning to “GH” late in August for several episodes.
He doubly-confirmed the good news by retweeting the article post with the caption, “Yes, it’s true! I’m back on @GeneralHospital for a couple more shows! Join me as I join the ‘Port Charles Bunch’ on AUGUST 29 and 30! Lots of other surprises in store so stay tuned (as they say)!” The actor was clearly touched by the fan love he received after his episodes aired in July, tweeting, “Hey Folks…Again, I must share how absolutely stunned I am by all the positive comments and pleas to TPTB to make “Jackson” a more regular part of General Hospital! I had a great time on set and enjoyed finding our ‘Jackson’ again after his being ‘mothballed’ for so long!”
We’re also excited for Willey’s return, hopefully, the first of many!
