Is Roger Howarth returning to Port Charles?
That’s what a lot of General Hospital fans can’t help but wonder, as there seems to be a rumor swelling online that he will be back on the canvas sooner rather than later.
Per the latest report, it looks like Roger might return, with some people suggesting that he could play Josslyn’s next WSB assignment.
The last time fans saw Roger on the canvas was back in 2023, right before he was let go from his contract.
There was even speculation at the time that Roger might have been released from his contract to make room for much younger actors on the show.
Some have even pointed out that Roger — who was best known for his character Austin that year — didn’t have much of a say when it came to his storyline.
Yet a child actor like Sophia Love got to debut her new song on the show.
This prompted a lot of fans to ask, “What gives?”
A few General Hospital fans have even commented on the matter with:
“I think Roger is one of the most special actors to ever be in a soap. There’s no one else like him. I would always love to have him back on GH.”
Another fan wrote:
“What’s next for Roger Howarth? I suspect Howarth returned to a CBS soap. The Gates is an easy East Coast commute once you semi-retire and can afford it. Probably takes a lot to go back to a soap grind. Sadly, I suspect he’s gone gone.”
And then there was this comment as well:
“Roger needs to stay away. He has played three different characters on this show — Todd, Franco, Austin — all with the same face, just like John McBain started, then went to Caleb, Molly or whatever, then he was Hamilton Finn.”
So far, the producers of the soap have not made any comment about whether or not Roger Howarth will be returning to the show.
In the meantime, fans will simply have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next.
