Justin Bruening recently stopped by the General Hospital set to visit his wife, Alexa Havins, who plays Lulu Spencer. His visit has raised questions about whether the former All My Children actor could be joining the ABC soap.
While nothing has been confirmed, Bruening already has connections to two members of the General Hospital cast, including an actor who once played his father.
Justin Bruening and Michael E. Knight's All My Children Connection.
Alexa Havins Addresses the Possibility
Bruening played Jamie Martin on All My Children from 2003 to 2007. Jamie was the son of Tad Martin, played by Michael E. Knight, who now portrays Martin Grey on General Hospital.
Knight joined General Hospital in 2019, and his character has since become part of Lulu's extended family.
Bruening's visit included a photo with Knight's portrait at the studio, a small nod to their All My Children history.
If Bruening were to join General Hospital, it would give the two actors an opportunity to work together again nearly two decades after Bruening left Pine Valley.
Havins recently spoke about the possibility of working with her husband on General Hospital during an interview with Swooon at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
She said she would welcome the opportunity and revealed that people have been asking whether Bruening might join the cast.
The couple previously worked together on All My Children, where Havins played Babe Carey. They married in 2005 and have four children.
Bruening has also expressed interest in appearing on General Hospital. During an earlier interview, he said he wouldn't rule it out and even joked about playing a barista in the background.
However, his recent visit was not a casting announcement, and there is no confirmation that he's been approached for a role.
Could Bruening Return to Daytime Television?
Since leaving All My Children, Bruening has appeared in several primetime series, including Grey's Anatomy, Knight Rider, and Netflix's Sweet Magnolias.
He played Cal Maddox on Sweet Magnolias, which was canceled in September after five seasons.
With that series finished, Bruening could have room in his schedule for another television role, although he hasn't announced any plans to return to daytime.
Some viewers have suggested that he could play Dillon Quartermaine, a character with an established connection to Lulu. It's a fan casting idea rather than anything announced by General Hospital.
Could Another Pine Valley Reunion Happen?
Bruening joining General Hospital would put him on the same show as Havins and Knight, bringing together three actors with ties to All My Children.
The possibility is particularly interesting because Knight played Bruening's onscreen father for several years. Whether the writers would acknowledge that connection through a storyline is another matter.
For now, Bruening has only visited the set, and General Hospital has made no announcement about casting him.
