General Hospital is keeping Port Charles busy this week with a handful of familiar faces and intriguing returns. From a notorious villain resurfacing in an unexpected way to legal figures stepping back into the spotlight, the cast lineup for January 19–23 brings meaningful shifts to ongoing storylines. Here’s a clear breakdown of who’s appearing, who’s stirring trouble, and what their presence means for the week ahead.
List of everyone who is joining and leaving General Hospital’s cast from January 19–23
Who’s coming
Anders Hove: One comeback everyone’s talking about involves Anders Hove and his legendary villain, Cesar Faison. Even though Faison was killed off back in 2018, he’s clearly not done haunting Port Charles. Hove is back using his voice only, and it’s more than enough to stir trouble. Through intercom messages, Faison plays with Anna Devane’s head, proving his grip on her didn’t die with his body.
Andrew Hawkes: He is once again stepping in as Ross Cullum. In addition to being a suit, Cullum is shady and powerful, clearly pulling strings behind the scenes. He’s teamed up with Sidwell and even outranks Jack at the WSB, which instantly changes the power dynamics. Starting Tuesday, January 20, viewers will see Cullum calling the shots.
Nazneen Contractor and Tim Lounibos: The courtroom drama heats up as two familiar faces make a comeback. Nazneen Contractor is back as district attorney Justine Turner, and Tim Lounibos returns to the bench as Judge Sullivan. They show up on Monday, January 19, just as the verdict in Willow’s trial is finalised.
Who’s going
There aren’t any confirmed cast exits for the week of January 19–23. That said, a few characters, especially those tied to the courtroom and the WSB storyline, may fade into the background once their major scenes play out. Right now, it’s less about goodbyes and more about smart returns and surprise cameos.
