In a surprise move, Parry Shen has wrapped up his latest stint as Brad Cooper. The lab technician quit his job and left Port Charles after exposing Portia’s (Brooke Kerr) latest crime to Drew (Cameron Mathison) and receiving a huge payoff. Shen, who’s recurred on the soap since 2013, resurfaced in August of 2024. The door remains open for the actor’s return at a later date.
After Chris McKenna, who plays Jack, posted a behind-the-scenes photo with his former One Life to Live co-star Jessica Tuck — the pair played siblings Joey and Megan on the defunct soap — rumors have begun surfacing that Tuck might be returning to GH. The actress played Cassandra Pierce, a drug trafficker with ties to Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), from 2017 to 2019. When last seen, Cassandra was kidnapped by a mysterious man wearing a ring with the Cassadine family crest.
