Daytime Comings and Goings Week of August 3: A Beloved Face Comes Home, a Kidnapper Returns, and a Family Says a Painful Goodbye

DAYTIME COMINGS AND GOINGS BRING A HOMECOMING, A VILLAIN’S RETURN, AND A HARD GOODBYE

TL;DR: This week’s Comings and Goings cover a lot of ground. Young and the Restless welcomes back three familiar faces while saying goodbye to two others, Days of Our Lives brings back a dangerous face from the past and says an emotional farewell of its own, and General Hospital keeps two family members around a little longer.

General Hospital Comings & Goings Keep Two Family Members Around

This week confirms the exit already reported for Christian Howard, whose run as Ethan Lovett came to an abrupt end on Friday, July 31, only days after he took over the role from Nathan Dean. The character left the country, closing out one of the shortest recasts in recent memory.

On a steadier note, Port Charles isn’t losing anyone new this week. Robert Gossett continues his visit as Marshall Ashford, while Vernee Watson is back as Stella Henry.
