James DePaiva to Debut Today on General Hospital

We know James DePaiva is playing a doctor–but Dr. Who?

Breathe In and Out For Me

This is a big deal for OLTL and DePaiva fans. One of our favorite handsome, dashing, sweep-me-off-my-feet Llanview hunks is back on our screens! This time he’s wearing a white coat.

We’ll know the full story, so to speak, today, according to a Facebook post by his wife, soap star Kassie DePaiva. You can see that post below. But first, read on!

In a teaser video posted to General Hospital‘s official Facebook page, DePaiva was seen only for a split second. It’s amazing how all that charm rushes back at us from his Llanview heyday in that one moment! See the original teaser GH posted about DePaiva’s daytime return.

Tears and Tantalizing Tidbits

In the new video, Kelly Monaco as Sam continued her moving, even disturbing, job of portraying a woman tortured by hallucinations, fearing for her husband’s safety–and fearing she’s losing her mind.

Also: GH Co-Head Writer Jean Passanante recently announced her retirement.

On an examining table, a tearful Sam sat in front of DePaiva in his lab coat, glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.

“You OK?” he asked. We almost fan-girl-ed out when we heard his voice, and you will too, dear Soap Cities readers.

But Is There More

But who is this doctor? Could it be GH classic and legacy character Jeff Webber? A brand new face at GH? Is the role short-lived, as Jennifer Bassey’s (Quinn) seems it may be, or long-term?

Don’t Miss: Jennifer Bassey plays a glamorous book agent in Port Charles.
