Who’s Going
General Hospital
Jeff Kober (Cyrus Renault): Port Charles bad guy Cyrus has finally bitten the dust, courtesy of Josslyn (Eden McCoy) shooting him, which means that Kober’s five-year stint with the show has come to an end. The actor, who picked up a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor for the role in 2022, was originally tapped for what was expected to be only a six-month stint. Kober tells Digest exclusively that he is open to hopping to another show in the daytime landscape, saying, “I’ve noticed that a lot of different actors go from one soap to another. Perhaps someone else needs a Cyrus on their show. Who knows!”

Guy Wilson (Lucky Spencer): Jackson has reclaimed his role, bringing the short-term, pinch-hitting stint of Wilson to an end.

Status Change
General Hospital
Tajh Bellow (TJ Ashford): GH does not comment on its actors contract status, but the closing credits of the Friday, February 21 episode of the show confirmed that Bellow has gone from contract player to one on recurring status. The actor made his debut in November 2018 as the third actor to play TJ (Krys Meyer originated the role in 2012, and Tequan Richmond played him from 2012-18), and was on recurring status until he was put on contract in February 2022. On February 18, the Daytime Emmy-nominated actor posted on Instagram, “WHAT A YEAR WE HAD!!!! ✊🏾” and tagged the show before writing, “Playing Dr. TJ Ashford has been a groundbreaking experience for my career. Pouring into TJ as he poured into me has been illuminating in many regards.” Referring to the tragic storyline he played out with the death of the baby Kristina was carrying for TJ and Molly, he noted, “Grieving such immense loss took everything in me and I’m blessed that my work resonated with you all. I know a lot of my fans are wondering what’s next for TJ, but before I speak to that I wanted to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together.”
