General Hospital Shocks Fans: Ryan Paevey Returns Seven Years After Dramatic Exit!
BREAKING: Ryan Paevey Set to Sizzle Back on General Hospital After Seven-Year Absence!
In a bombshell move, beloved star Ryan Paevey is set to make his highly anticipated return to General Hospital after an astonishing seven-year hiatus. The 40-year-old hunk first burst onto the scene in 2013 as the dashing Detective Nathan West, quickly captivating audiences with his chiseled good looks and undeniable charm.
Paevey's character's tragic demise in 2018 sent shockwaves through Port Charles, leaving fans heartbroken and clamoring for a return. And now, the actor has confirmed to Deadline that Executive Producer Frank Valentini extended an unexpected olive branch, sparking conversations about a possible comeback.
"We talked a bit, and he asked if I'd consider returning for a while," Paevey revealed. "We floated different story ideas involving various time commitments, and I thought, 'If we're going to do this, let's really do it and surprise the fans with a meaty storyline!'"
The Torrance native's excitement was palpable as he shared his last call sheet from his final taping day on January 18, 2018, proudly displayed in his home office. "I still have my last call sheet from that fateful day, and it's like reliving the memories all over again," he said.
Rumors of Paevey's return had been circulating for weeks, particularly after Kelly Thiebaud, who played Nathan's sister Britt, made a surprise appearance on the soap in July. The timing of both comebacks has sparked theories about a potential family-centered storyline, leaving fans eagerly speculating about Paevey's role.
While some are rooting for Nathan's resurrection, others believe Paevey could be set to take on an entirely new character in classic soap fashion. One thing is certain: with Paevey's return, General Hospital will be heating up the airwaves once more!
In related news, the soap world is still reeling from the passing of beloved star Tristan Rogers, who fought a courageous battle with lung cancer. Since 1980, Rogers embodied the iconic role of Robert Scorpio on General Hospital, captivating audiences with his larger-than-life personality and undeniable charm.
"Scorpio was everything to him," said Meryl Soodak, Rogers' manager, in an emotional tribute. "He loved being a part of Port Charles and creating that character from scratch. He was a genuinely kind human being who adored his family."
As Paevey prepares to return to the soap, he's been busy building a successful career in TV movies. After breaking out in Hallmark's Unleashing Mr. Darcy in 2016, he went on to star in over a dozen romantic comedies for the network, including Two Tickets to Paradise in 2022 and Fourth Down and Love.
Paevey has also made appearances outside of Hallmark, with credits on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Games People Play. The actor's versatility and talent have solidified his position as a sought-after leading man in the industry.
With filming set to begin this week, fans can expect Paevey's return to General Hospital sometime in September. Will Nathan rise from the ashes, or will Paevey take on a new role? One thing is certain: the excitement is palpable, and General Hospital is about to sizzle like never before!
