Daytime Comings and Goings Week of June 22: An Old Flame Resurfaces for a Risky Move, a Vet Steps Into a Legacy Role, and a Socialite Storms the Runway
Familiar faces flood daytime this week: Anna, Morgan Fairchild, Paul and more headline the Comings and Goings for June 22-26.
DAYTIME COMINGS AND GOINGS BRING A RISKY RETURN, A FAMILIAR FILL-IN, AND A CROWDED ARRIVAL
TL;DR: This week’s Comings and Goings are stacked. Anna takes a dangerous gamble on General Hospital, Lauren Koslow steps in as Jill on Young and the Restless, Paul circles back to Salem on Days of Our Lives as Marlena marks fifty years, Morgan Fairchild leads a runway-sized Bold and the Beautiful guest list, and Beyond the Gates teases a goodbye that may not stick.
General Hospital Comings & Goings Lead With a Risky Return
The biggest cheer belongs to Port Charles, where Finola Hughes resurfaces as Anna Devane after months away. The character meets with her doctor on Wednesday, June 24, then takes a sizable risk on Friday, June 26. Hughes has been off the canvas since February, so her return lands right as the Faison clinic mystery is heating up and Valentin Cassadine is busy tracing a very suspicious phone call.
She is not the only one heading home. Robert Gossett brings Marshall Ashford back to town this summer to visit family, dropping in on son Curtis Ashford. Jequan Jackson, who first played PCU football teammate Quinn back in 2024 opposite Kai Taylor, is on set filming scenes for a summer resurfacing of his own.
The Scout Cain recast also took a fresh twist. Hot on word that Kayden Brenna Tokarski would take over the role in July from Cosette Abinante, Reagan Park stepped in to play the part on June 17. The fill-in was reportedly a one-and-done, a classic daytime pinch-hit when the regular player cannot report.

Young and the Restless Comings & Goings Bring a Familiar Vet
In Genoa City, Lauren Koslow steps into the role of Jill Abbott on Thursday, June 25. Koslow currently stars as Kate Roberts on Days of Our Lives and once played Lindsey Wells on the show from 1984 to 1986. She is filling in for daytime stalwart Jess Walton, who has played Jill since 1987, during a brief arc set up by a scheduling conflict that kept Walton from traveling to Los Angeles to film.
Doug Tompos turns up as Dr. Nowling on Monday, June 22. He shares scenes with Nikki Newman and Victoria Newman when Nikki, who has been battling a run of headaches, receives sobering news about her health.
Days of Our Lives Comings & Goings Welcome a Familiar Son
Over in Salem, Christopher Sean returns as Paul Narita, son of the late John, as Marlena Evans reflects on her fifty years in town on Monday, June 22. Sean’s onscreen husband, Colton Little‘s Andrew, is along for the trip, and the ISA agent has a scolding waiting for Cat on that same Monday. Maggie Carney also pops back in as Rita, EJ DiMera‘s executive assistant, alerting her boss to a developing problem on Thursday, June 25.
Bold and the Beautiful Comings & Goings Throw a Crowded Party
L.A. rolls out the biggest welcome wagon of all. Morgan Fairchild and Jim J. Bullock are back as San Francisco socialite Dottie Bright and her right-hand man Joseph Beasley, getting an exclusive preview at Forrester Creations on Tuesday, June 23, with a repeat appearance on Friday, June 26. Theodora Greece returns as Bill Spencer‘s trusted assistant Alison Montgomery, with scenes at Logan on Tuesday and Friday.
The Friday, June 26 episode is positively crowded.

A full runway’s worth of Logan models, Megan Udero, Marketa Lim, Kassandra Gibbs, Elena Moseikina, Zuzu, Mia Hannah, Bella Drew, and Lex Savides, round out the day.
Beyond the Gates Comings & Goings Tease a Goodbye
Down in Fairmont Crest, the question is less who is coming and more who might be going. During a recent visit, Heather Armstrong asked her brother Joey Armstrong to go into business together, and when he passed, she announced she is heading back to London. Whether that goodbye sticks is anyone’s guess, so do not write her off yet.
