Beyond the Gates
Daytime Comings and Goings Week of September 21: A Forrester Heir Comes Home, Port Charles Welcomes A New Legal Eagle, and Salem’s Shadiest Ex Swings Back Into Town
Daytime’s biggest names keep coming and going this week, with new faces arriving and familiar ones stepping back into the spotlight.
DAYTIME COMINGS AND GOINGS BRING A FAMILY REUNION, A COURTROOM NEWCOMER, AND ONE VERY UNWELCOME BLAST FROM THE PAST
This week’s Comings and Goings skip Beyond the Gates entirely — Fairmont Crest is sitting this one out with zero new arrivals or exits. Bold and the Beautiful brings a Forrester son home for a pivotal Electra Line moment alongside a returning ex and a full house at the Bikini Bar, Days of Our Lives has Holly finally face-to-face with the man who’s been throwing shade her way, General Hospital welcomes a sharp new attorney with a secret already attached, and Young and the Restless gets a rare house call from Billy’s sister while a certain doctor’s countdown clock quietly starts ticking.
Beyond the Gates Comings & Goings
Fairmont Crest’s revolving door is actually holding still for once. There’s no new castings to report for Beyond the Gates this week — every familiar face on the canvas is staying exactly where you left them, drama and all.

Bold and the Beautiful Comings & Goings
Delon de Metz resurfaces as Zende Forrester Dominguez, stepping back into pivotal Electra Line scenes with R.J. Forrester and others on Thursday, September 24, and Friday, September 25. Kelly Sullivan also returns those same two days as Darcy Dylan, sharing scenes with her onscreen daughter, Melissa Dylan.
The Bikini Bar is fully staffed too. Sincere Cato is back on the scene as bartender Alex on Tuesday, September 22, while Megan Udero gets more facetime as Logan model Jasmine Monday through Wednesday, and Cameron Cooperrecurs as a Bikini patron across that same stretch.
And here’s a theory worth sitting with: headwriter Bradley Bell already teased a new man circling Deke Sharpe this fall with no casting attached, and now Katie’s reportedly eyeing “something new” for Logan. Could the mystery man Bell was talking about be walking in through Katie’s door instead of Deke’s? No casting is confirmed either way, but it’s a connection we can’t stop thinking about.
Days of Our Lives Comings & Goings
Brandon Butler is back on the scene as Mason Whitfield, and Holly is finally done letting his cryptic shade slide. She confronts him directly on Tuesday, September 22.
Also worth flagging: Steve is set to get on the phone with Bo and Hope this week. We may not actually see them onscreen, but come on — is this a hint that Salem’s most iconic couple could be circling back into the picture? We’re watching this one closely.
General Hospital Comings & Goings
Miller & Davis just got a new name on the door. Blythe Howard debuts as attorney Monet on Wednesday, September 23, and her very first client already comes with a secret attached.
And for anyone panicking about the mob-exit fallout: Steve Burton is staying put. His contract situation is locked in for the next few years, so Jason Morgan isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
Young and the Restless Comings & Goings
Beth Maitland pops back in as Traci Abbott, making a much-needed house call on her onscreen brother, Billy Abbott, on Thursday, September 24. Vivica A. Fox also resurfaces as Dr. Stephanie Simmons, defining things with Nate Hastings on Tuesday, September 22 — though we already know her time in Genoa City is limited, with an exit reportedly coming in the next few weeks.
There’s also unconfirmed chatter to flag: Claire dropped Aunt Jordan’s name like a bomb in this week’s preview, and while nothing about an actual return has been confirmed, Jordan Howard was too big a villain on this show for us not to mention it.
Which return has you the most excited this week? Head to the comments and tell us!
Whose Comeback Wins the Week?
A Forrester son walking back into the design office, a new attorney with a secret client, and enough “is this a tease or isn’t it” energy to fuel a dozen fan theories — this week’s Comings and Goings cover a lot of ground even with Fairmont Crest sitting quiet.
Head to our Facebook page and let us know which one you’re most invested in.
