Beyond the Gates
Daytime Comings and Goings Week of September 28: A New Sister Stirs the Pot, a Public Accusation Rocks the Town, and a Goodbye Rumor Swirls
The latest Comings and Goings bring fresh faces, welcome returns and a few whispered goodbyes to daytime, so here’s who to watch for.
THIS WEEK’S COMINGS AND GOINGS BRING SISTERS, SECRETS AND SENDOFFS
This week’s Comings and Goings are serving déjà vu with a side of scandal. Beyond the Gates invites a doctor back to Fairmont Crest for a homecoming party, Bold and the Beautiful hands Brooke Logan more face time right as a baby bombshell lands, Days of Our Lives lets an attorney loose with an accusation to make, General Hospitaljuggles a scene-stealing new sister and a flurry of exit headlines, and Young and the Restless rolls out the welcome mat for Abby Newman and Christine Blair. Grab the popcorn and let’s dig in!
Beyond the Gates Comings & Goings
Get ready for more Greg Vaughan as Dr. Kial Rollins! The good doctor hasn’t set foot on screen since late August, and lately he’s only been a text message on Nicole Dupree Richardson‘s phone, telling her how much he misses her.
On Friday, he’s back in the flesh for a homecoming party that forces Nicole and Ted Richardson to navigate their new normal with Kial and Shanice Johnson. Something tells us the punch bowl won’t be the only thing getting stirred.

Bold and the Beautiful Comings & Goings
We get more face time this week with Katherine Kelly Lang‘s Brooke Logan, who’s been missing from the action since early September. On Tuesday, Ridge Forrester nudges her to reach out to Hope Logan, and on Thursday, Daphne Roseshares her baby news with the pair. Little do they know that the “remarkable woman” Daphne and Carter Walton lined up as their surrogate is Ridge’s own daughter, Steffy Forrester.
After a month-long breather, Annika Noelle‘s Hope and Delon de Metz‘s Zende Forrester Dominguez are firmly back in the mix. Zende chafes at being sidelined while Katie Logan sends Melissa Dylan to have a word with him, and by Friday, Hope and Katie lay everything on the table.
Days of Our Lives Comings & Goings
Tina Huang resurfaces as Melinda Trask, and she isn’t back to make friends. On Thursday, the attorney levels a very public accusation against Linsey Godfrey‘s Sarah Horton.
Wednesday is a busy day for familiar faces. Lamon Archey is back as Eli Grant, urging Lani Price to think about her future, while Lauren Koslow‘s Kate Roberts confronts Philip Kiriakis about his gambling habit. That same day, Leo Howard‘s Tate Black finally crosses paths with Brandon Butler‘s Mason Whitfield, the Salem newcomer who can’t stand Ashley Puzemis‘s Holly Jonas.
And on Friday, Maggie Carney pops in as Rita when Dan Feuerriegel‘s EJ DiMera confides in his longtime executive assistant.
General Hospital Comings & Goings
Port Charles has a new troublemaker in heels. Blythe Howard debuted as Monet Mitchell, the Miller & Davis attorney who turned out to be the estranged younger sister of Tanisha Harper‘s Jordan Ashford. Monet is already courting a new client on Tuesday, so she’s clearly planning to stick around.
Meanwhile, the rumor mill is working overtime. Bluesy Burke‘s exit as Charlotte Cassadine hasn’t been confirmed, but on September 8 she shared a few shots from her last day on set on Instagram. They included a dressing room door sign reading “That’s A Wrap. Good Night.” and a photo of her hugging her teen castmates goodbye. William deVry, on the other hand, shut down the whispers of a Julian Jerome comeback, and Chris McKenna opened up about being firedafter Jack Brennan was written off.
Mark your calendars, too. Alley Mills is returning as Heather Webber on Thursday, November 5, and Port Charles’ most notorious schemer has never rolled into town quietly.
Young and the Restless Comings & Goings
Back on set is Melissa Ordway, who returns as Abby Newman for a chat with Jason Thompson‘s Billy Abbott and Courtney Hope‘s Sally Spectra about their pending baby.
Lauralee Bell resurfaces as Christine Blair on Tuesday to counsel her stepson, Michael Graziadei‘s Daniel Romalotti. Kate Linder pops in as Esther Valentine on Wednesday, when the Crimson Lights employee shares some wisdom with Sharon Case‘s Sharon Newman. And the show must go on: Eileen Davidson, who plays Ashley Abbott, is already back on set after her recent leg injury, knee brace and all.
Looking ahead, Patrika Darbo‘s Shirley Spectra and Ashley Campbell‘s Coco Spectra are headed to Genoa City in October for Sally and Billy’s wedding. And Shemar Moore says the door is always open for more Malcolm Winters. Easter egg? We’re keeping our eyes peeled!
