General Hospital (2025): Full cast list guide

General Hospital has been seeing returning cast members as characters make their way back into Port Charles. The long-running ABC daily soap has had characters move in and out of the show, with a few central ones staying on as the pillars of the storyline. However, while the central character of Monica left the show after actor Leslie Charleson’s death, Kelly Thiebaud’s Britt and Ryan Paevey’s Nathan returned to the show. 

With more twists in the storyline likely to bring back more PC residents, this may be a good time to look into the soap’s cast list. A quick recap of the latest General Hospital plot shows Willow’s cases heating up. On one hand, she is one of the prime accused in Drew’s shootout while on the other, she is battling Michael for the custody of their children. To secure her custody, she recently married Drew hoping that may help drop her shooting case.

Elsewhere, Sidwell framed Laura with Dalton’s dead body after shooting the professor himself. While Sonny helped free Laura from the mess with Jason’s help, Sidwell blackmailed them with their photographs alongside the dead Dalton for Sonny’s piers. Meanwhile, Brennan reached out to Valentin for information on Faison’s last project. At the same time, Carly wanted Valentin’s help to take revenge on Brennan.

To complicate the matters on General Hospital, Valentin escaped prison and landed at Carly’s home as Brennan tasked Josslyn to help look for Valentin. The WSB chief also asked Nina to get Charlotte into the loop for Valentin’s search in exchange of tampering with the evidence against Willow.
