Is Ryan Paevey Returning to 'General Hospital'?
General Hospital alum Ryan Paevey has hearts fluttering after a recent social media share. Paevey took a step back from acting in 2024 but is now gearing up for a comeback.
The Hallmark hunk took to Instagram the other day to tease that he's getting back into the entertainment business. 'Got some irons in the fire on the big screen and the small screen that I'm hoping will enable me to share more stuff like this with you guys….a lot more. Get busy living right?' he wrote.If that wasn't enough, the soap star used social media again to keep fans guessing. This time, he shared a headshot with googly-eyed emojis as the caption.
In the comments section, Paevey popped up to ask his followers, 'What do you guys think it will be?' The remark had fans sharing their thoughts, and many of them are hoping for a General Hospital return.
Paevey played Nathan West on the ABC soap for nearly four years. Even though Nathan was killed off, soap fans know a character can always come back from the dead.
'thinking TV like maaaybe GH 🤷🏻♀️,' wrote one fan, while another expressed, 'I'm not sure back to general hospital lol.'
Other comments related to the ABC soap included, 'General hospital would be great 😊,' and 'Really hoping it's GH since Britt's on her way back.' The latter refers toKelly Thiebaud returning to the ABC soap in July.
If General Hospital can resurrect Britt, the show can certainly find a way to bring back Nathan. However, that doesn't mean Paevey is returning to Port Charles.
It's more likely he will be back to filming TV movies for Hallmark or Great American Family. The actor added fuel to that fire with a throwback to a film he did with Jen Lilley on Hallmark.
Here's hoping we find out soon what will bring actor Ryan Paevey back to our TV screens.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.

‘Dexter' Has ‘Probably Done a Number on Me,' Says Michael C. Hall: ‘I'm Not Crazy, I Know I'm Not Him'
Dexter Morgan is back, officially, now that Paramount+ with Showtime dropped the first episode of 'Dexter: Resurrection' on Friday, July 11. IndieWire's Ben Travers gave the series cautiously positive marks, writing, 'Dexter's new lease on life may actually be worth waking the dead.' New episodes will continue weekly through September 5. Michael C. Hall has been playing Dexter now, off and on, since 2006. While Hall has certainly appeared in numerous other projects in the 19 years since the pilot aired — from 'The Crown' to 'Safe' and 'Game Night' — the 'Dark Passenger' (Dexter's nickname for his thirst to kill) has been character he just can't shake, though he assured Vanity Fair in an interview that leaves Dexter's unsavory qualities on set. More from IndieWire John Goodman Doesn't Speak to Roseanne Anymore: 'I'd Rather Doubt If She Wants to Talk to Me' Lena Dunham's 'Too Much': A Guide to All Those Cameos - and Each Wink to Her Own Celebrity Lore 'Thankfully, I'm not predisposed to act on the kind of compulsions that Dexter's afflicted by — but yeah, I mean, certainly when we finish shooting a season, I need some time to just put it away, if nothing else,' he explained. 'It's just his life is so stressful. I could never live a life this fraught with stress. I mean, I guess everybody's life is stressful, but Dexter's is sort of beyond.' Hall does speculate, though, on why he is able to play the character, for which he has received six Emmy nominations, so well. 'I'm not crazy; I know I'm not him. I know he doesn't actually exist. He's just words on a page, and a character, and an idea that remains a mysterious one for me. I don't feel that I necessarily have any more of a hold on the character than I ever did. I intuitively know how to play him, but I don't know — he's probably done a number on me that I couldn't even tell you about because the lines are so blurred. But I don't think I'm him, thankfully,' he said. Asked by Vanity Fair what his 'Dark Passenger' was, Hall responded, 'None of your business.' Hall also described the new season — which moves the action from Los Angeles to New York City — as an opportunity for the character to have 'a second chance at life,' saying that Dexter has 'been finally released from what's been a burdensome relationship to his past.'

John Goodman Doesn't Speak to Roseanne Anymore: ‘I'd Rather Doubt If She Wants to Talk to Me'
It's been just over seven years since Roseanne Barr was fired from her self-titled series' successful relaunch following a racist tweet about former President Barack Obama's adviser Valerie Jarrett… which she infamously blamed on 'Ambien tweeting.' It has, perhaps not coincidentally, been about the same amount of time since 'Smurfs' star John Goodman has spoken to his sitcom wife. 'I'd rather doubt if she wants to talk to me,' he told The Hollywood Reporter. 'We haven't talked for about seven or eight years.' More from IndieWire 'Dexter' Has 'Probably Done a Number on Me,' Says Michael C. Hall: 'I'm Not Crazy, I Know I'm Not Him' Lena Dunham's 'Too Much': A Guide to All Those Cameos - and Each Wink to Her Own Celebrity Lore Goodman, of course, went on to anchor the spinoff 'The Conners,' which garnered consistently positive reviews, lasted seven seasons and 112 episodes without Barr, whose 'Roseanne' character was killed off. 'I didn't think [the 'Roseanne' reboot] was going to go beyond the initial five or six episodes,' Goodman said. 'I thought it'd be a one-off thing, and then we got picked up, and Roseanne got fired. I thought that was it, and as soon as they dismissed the cast, I picked up 'Righteous Gemstones.' Then we got to do the show again as 'The Conners.' I didn't know how long it would last, but I sure enjoyed it while I was there.' In an expression of his goodwill to the fans, 'The Conners' ended in April with a scene of Goodman alone, breaking the fourth wall and saying 'Good night' while sitting on the show's iconic couch. 'I wanted to do it, and they let me, and they kept it. I thought it was just us saying, 'Good night, folks. Thank you,'' he explained. Goodman's career remains busy as ever. In addition to voicing Papa Smurf in the upcoming animated 'Smurfs' film, out July 18, he's also recently lent his voice to series like 'The Freak Brothers' and 'Monsters at Work' (reprising Sulley from 'Monsters, Inc.'). His HBO series 'The Righteous Gemstones' aired its final episode in May, and he's set to appear in the next Alejandro González Iñárritu film alongside Tom Cruise and Sandra Hüller, due for release in October 2026. 'There are a lot of funny moments in it,' Goodman said, describing the yet-untitled comedy. 'Tom is a force of nature, and it's fun to just hang on and see what he's going to do. He's a 63-year-old professional athlete and artist. He's got the drive and the energy, and I wish I had half of it.'

Megan Stalter on ‘Too Much,' Lena Dunham, and Playing Characters Who Are ‘Confident and Nervous at the Same Time'
Not long ago, Megan Stalter — star of Lena Dunham's new Netflix romantic comedy series, 'Too Much' — was still hustling to make a name for herself in comedy. After leaving Ohio in the mid-2010s to pursue an entertainment career, Stalter did stand-up, improv, and other stage work in Chicago until she found an early dose of fame on social media, posting video parodies of cringe women — including a memorable butter entrepreneur who's opening line was 'Hi, gay!' It didn't take long for her to parlay her various pursuits, including a web series called 'The Megan Stalter Show,' into a breakout part on HBO's 'Hacks,' cameos in projects like Julio Torres' 'Problemista,' and other enviable onscreen roles. Her relatively short road to fame, however, was windy enough for her to learn that, whatever medium she was working in, her true passion was to entertain. More from IndieWire John Goodman Doesn't Speak to Roseanne Anymore: 'I'd Rather Doubt If She Wants to Talk to Me' 'Dexter' Has 'Probably Done a Number on Me,' Says Michael C. Hall: 'I'm Not Crazy, I Know I'm Not Him' 'When I was a kid, I always wanted to be an actor. And when I decided that that's what I was going to go for, I found improv and stand-up as a door into performing, and then fell in love with that,' Stalter told IndieWire ahead of the 'Too Much' series premiere on July 10. 'I just think I love performing so much and will always do it.' Stalter added that she appreciates how each phase of her career — from staging offbeat comedy shows to posting humorous videos on social media and working on some of the biggest series in recent years — has brought out something unique in her as a performer. 'Every single chapter of my career has changed me. I was a different performer before 'Hacks,' and now I'm a different performer after 'Too Much.' And I think it's so cool that we can change in our careers, in the way that we perform, like that,' she said. 'It's even fun to think about being back in Chicago and doing live stuff. There was a chapter where I was doing, like, weird burlesque stuff at stand-up shows. It was comedy, but I was always in my bra, spraying whipped cream on myself,' she continued with a trilling laugh. The Cleveland native who now lives in Los Angeles may have come a long way from entertaining on Midwest stages in her undergarments, but there are certainly remnants of that performer in her onscreen roles. In 'Hacks,' Stalter's Kayla, a chaotic nepo baby with a heart of gold, steals the show with her off-the-wall comments and frequent passes at her coworker Jimmy (Paul W. Downs). And in 'Too Much,' her character, Jess, has both vulnerability and awkward charm that immediately draw others in — in addition to regularly appearing in high-waist underwear that Stalter handpicked. Though, she's also very obviously Dunham-esque. 'Too Much,' which is a dream gig for Stalter as a longtime fan of 'Girls,' is loosely based on Dunham's love story with her now-husband Luis Felber, a British musician whom she met after moving to the U.K. in 2021. Taking a page from Dunham — who had a breakup of sorts with New York and TV acting after six demanding seasons of her hit series — Jess moves to London to jump-start her stalled career in production and find a fresh start after a messy split with her live-in boyfriend (Michael Zegen). Almost immediately, she falls for a troubled musician named Felix (Will Sharpe) and gets swept up in a world populated by chic exes and wealthy, rudderless Londoners. And she suddenly finds herself with a new life that's almost busy enough to distract her from what's going on back at home with her ex and his new girlfriend, Wendy Jones (Emily Ratajkowski). While navigating her new reality, Jess often finds herself in uncomfortable or embarrassing situations, which are well-suited to Stalter's brand of comedy and her background in improv. Particularly when playing opposite Sharpe ('The White Lotus'), the comedian demonstrates her talent for creating a character who's relatable and outlandish, endearing but painful to watch — not unlike Dunham, who plays Jess' sister in the new series, back in 'Girls.' 'One of the things that I do a lot, which I feel like comes easy to me, is playing someone that's really confident and nervous at the same time,' Stalter said of Dunham encouraging the actors to improvise uncomfortable moments between Felix and Jess, citing a scene involving a particularly awkward kiss. 'Improvising an embarrassing moment comes most natural to me.' Like 'Girls,' 'Tiny Furniture,' and other projects from Dunham, 'Too Much' takes melancholic turns, with occasionally more serious blow-ups between the lead characters — including one fight that Stalter said 'felt really sad and weird and scary' to film given the usually jovial environment on set. During these scenes, Stalter said, she leaned more heavily on Dunham, who would help her tap into some of the more serious aspects of the series' protagonist. 'She helped me access whatever I couldn't in the moment,' Stalter said, explaining that she'd occasionally struggle to get into the character's mindset because of a long day, little sleep the night before, or not being able to relate. 'If I just connected with her before the scene, I was right there. If I talked to her, then I could cry in every shot. 'I think that it just shows her skills as a director to be able to connect with me like that,' she added, relaying that from their first meeting, she felt as if she had known Dunham forever — although it felt 'surreal' to actually share a set with the multihyphenate. Though 'Too Much' isn't a purely light watch, even the heavier moments in the show elicit a smirk or at least a few laughs, thanks to Dunham's wry sense of humor, Sharpe and Stalter's deliveries, and a star-studded supporting cast featuring some of the most versatile American, British, and European actors in the biz. Richard E. Grant plays Jess' London boss who hosts drug-fueled gatherings for the staff with the help of his wife, played by Naomi Watts. Adèle Exarchopoulos gives a hilarious turn as one of multiple exes named Polly who make up Felix's circle. Rhea Perlman and Rita Wilson appear as Jess' highly opinionated, codependent mother and grandmother. Even Andrew Scott shows up to play a self-serious director whose serial cheating has caught up with him. And Stalter, no stranger to starring alongside big-name actors after four seasons of 'Hacks,' plays off them like a seasoned pro — all while, as she puts it in the press notes, being 'weird and goofy' and 'misbehaving' on set. 'I feel like it is just part of my personality: In high school, I didn't get a good part in the play, but I'd be really funny backstage and too loud during rehearsal,' Stalter said, reviewing her favorite moments from filming, which included working alongside Scott, whom she compares to her beloved 'Hacks' co-star Downs, and Exarchopoulos, whom she describes as intuitively funny and the kind of cool that's only seen in movies. 'But I also think I'm just so excited and happy to be there. From the moment I was, like, 'I'm going to move out of Ohio and do comedy full time,' every part of it has been a dream. I'd be, like, 'I can't believe I'm in improv class. I'm so excited to be here.' And that energy, I think, makes you mischievous and naughty in a good way,' she said, giving a devious smile. There are many more unbelievable and naughty moments to come in Stalter's career, to be sure. But for the moment, she's still basking in the glow of starring opposite the likes of Dunham, Scott, Exarchopoulos, and the rest of the 'Too Much' cast and keeping her expectations for what comes next reasonably low. 'I just, first of all, want to keep going. My goal has always been to write stuff that I'm in. And I really would love to be in something kind of scary. I mean, of course, everybody wants to be in 'The White Lotus,'' the actor said, adding that she'd be more than happy to take on a funny horror film if Mike White doesn't come knocking. 'I think that'd be so cool.' 'Too Much' premieres on Netflix July 10.
