Todd Manning might want to see if there’s a room available at the Metro Court, because fan favorite Roger Howarth has been put on contract at General Hospital, TVLine has learned exclusively.
An Emmy winner during his run as One Life to Live‘s resident scalawag, Howarth brought Todd to GH this past Monday, initially on a short-term basis, as the protective pop seeks out a pound of flesh for the tragic death of his granddaughter.
As seen in promos, Todd will train a gun on no less than mob boss Sonny, laying the groundwork for an imminent showdown between the Mannings of Llanview and Port Charles’ Corinthos clan.
Howarth’s TV daughter, Kristen Alderson (Starr), herself made the jump to GH in late February, as a contract player. Kassie DePaiva, who plays Blair, Starr’s mother/Todd’s ex, at this point is still recurring.
