Coming up on the Friday March 7th, there will be a new recurring character on the canvas when Bryce Durfee joins the cast of General Hospital as Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) WSB handler named Vaughn.

Now that Josslyn has joined the WSB looks like she will be crossing paths with Vaughn. However, could this mean that being her handler could ignite a love affair, or is too soon for Josslyn to move on from the death of her previous boyfriend Dex Heller played by Evan Hofer?

If Durfee looks familiar. he previously appeared on primetime series including: Yellowstone, Last Man Standing, Man with a Plan, 9-1-1, and Hacks. Bryce also appeared on the PassionFlix original series Driven. On daytime, he actually appeared as a male model on an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful back in 2012.

Taking to his Instagram once his casting was revealed, Durfee expressed, “Not really sure how the cat got in the bag… either way, it’s out. #generalhospital #vaughn”

On his new role on General Hospital, Durfee told Soap Opera Digest, “I didn’t know what to expect because I knew the soap world moves fast. But as far as the performance, I had just finished another project and was feeling loose and ready to go, so I was really excited for that.” He added, “That first day was just a whirlwind! I kind of felt like I got thrown into a washing machine and I got spit out an hour later (laughs). That’s kind of how I remember that first day. I can’t wait to see how it turned out!”

Bryce had previously auditioned for roles on GH, so casting director Mark Teschner obviously knew of his work and presence. In fact, back in 2018, Durfee auditioned for the part of Harrison Chase which ultimately went to Josh Swickard, with whom Durfee knew from their modeling days. “It was down to me, Josh and I think a third guy,” Durfee recalled. “And the best man got it! Josh is absolutely fantastic, and I was really excited to run into him on set (at GH) recently.”

In story, Josslyn has lost two great loves of her life: Oscar (Garren Stint) who died of cancer back on April 29th, 2019 episode (which was shown on May 1, 2019), and Dex who died back on the December 13, 2024 episode of GH.  Will being partners at the WSB open up new beginnings for Joss with Vaughn? Stay tuned.

So, what are your thoughts on the casting of Bryce Durfee as Josslyn’s WSB handler, Vaughn? Comment below.

Just what she needs… another love internet that will last well beyond their expiration.

Did your cat die? Think you had nasty posts on all the recent stories Micheal posted

Huh?!

i’m still hoping Emma is already a spy and has had training, which would make more sense since both her granparents and her mothers godfathers were spy, and Emma wanted to follow in her grandparents footsteps not her parents. Joslyn already doing field work, i mean come on, i guess you either got it or y0u don’t i just don’t see joslyn as a spy.

In this photo he looks like he could be the son of the original “Aussie” Jack Brennan. Too bad the original actor left but I don’t blame him. This story is stupid.

I agree that he looks a bit like he could be Breenans long lost son, lol . I mean original who I dearly miss!

Joss already had a perfectly great love interest in Dex.
There was no need to invent a new one.

He’s to old for joss he 14 years older than joss

But Willow and Drew is ok ? Their age difference is great than 14 years.

I could stomach Joss and new guy way better than Drew and Willow any day..

I cant joss and dex were amazing to destroy them was terrible and horrible

First of all, it’d be “too.” Second of all, 14 years older is not too old, especially if both happen to be adults (and they are).

He’s in his 30 put him in the group with the 30s not 20s

Ease up! Huh? Two, to or too. Guess we all need a grammer refresh..

Two = 1 + 1
Too = also
To = go to the store

I’m not the one needing the grammar lesson.

I wonder if it was easier to kill of Dex than build his background story.

I will swear upon the fires of Hell that they originally hired “Dex” to be revealed later as a Morgan Corinthos recast, and it was going to be part of a bigger storyline involving the return of Lorenzo Alcazar. Then two things happened:

1) Ted King – for whatever reasons – couldn’t make the deal with Valentini, so they had to rewrite the whole “Pikeman” clusterphuck midstream, and some of the elements they took off the table entirely, until they rewrote them for the new character Sidwell over a year later.

2) They noticed that Dex and Joss seemed to have some “chemistry”. Which obviously would not be appropriate for brother & sister. This is General Hospital, not the Duggars, for Hell’s sake.

Unfortunately that chemistry can only take you so far. And once Jason returned last year, Dex really didn’t have a place within the Corinthos Coffee, LLC organization. So they made him a uniformed cop in the PCPD. But that’s always the kiss of death. Just ask most of Maxie’s dead former boyfriends.

They could of made him Jasons son

And that would have been even dumber than making Sasha into Robert & Holly’s daughter, or making the fiddling poolboy into BrookLynn & Dante’s kid.

Jason Morgan has been in Port Charles every day since 1996, apart from his 5 year absence 2012-2017 and his 2 1/2 year absence November 2021 – March 2024. Obviously Dex would be too old to have been born during either of those times.

Who would have been his mother? Courtney died right after Spencer was born and she didn’t have any other kids. Dex would be too old to be the “missing twin” of Jake or Danny” so that leaves Liz & Sam out of the question.

And if Keesha Ward had been pregnant at the time of Jason’s brain scrambling.. well that kid would have looked a little different than Dex, obviously.

While I agree that Jason fathering an adult child is far fetched, he was off the canvas for most of 2000 and a large part of 2001.

You went back to dust that theory off again.

There’s no space on the canvas for Morgan. The character (right now) is worth more dead than alive.

I maintain that they’ll only bring Morgan back if/when the show gets a cancellation notice.

Eden McCoy is a special young lady. I do see her as a spy in training. You have to keep talent busy or they fizzle out. Look at the Q’s house, it wasnt even shown twice a week, a couple years ago. Now its Grand Central Station and Tracy is one hell of an engineer. She is having too much fun to leave. Eden is young and talented. I’m sure she wants to try other things but for now, use her talents. She has chemistry with any one she works with. Lets be honest, Dex was a wooden character who looked to be long gone long ago but by being paired with Eden he got better. It was ashamed that they killed him off. But they did and now comes a new guy, Vaughn. Handsome guy, if he can act, him and Joss with me magic and could lead a huge summer story together.

He is 14 years older then joss gross not happening

How is it gross? They’re both ADULTS! I swear, people got to stop with this kind of mess.

Vaughn is in williow Sasha Maxie she age mid 30s not 20s

So? I know plenty of couples with 13+ years age difference, including my own parents, so it’s not that unheard of.

Bravo—as one of my favorite singer/ songwriters— Brenda Russell wrote: “ageless minds attract each other/ learn from love / and not from numbers” — consensual adults — check.

So what. That difference means nothing

Great. Also get rid of that back ground music takes away from the acting

Bring Dec back as someone else and Lulu is the worst she is south a pest always trying to tell something on someone and please do not put Lulu with Danta again put Alexis with Martin Gray not with Tracy and why did you give Sonny heart problems that was a bad choice

Please put Jason and Sasha together and not with cry baby Anna all she does is tear up start to cry.next will you please put Sonny and Carly back together and why did you give Sonny a bad heart that was not good ok put Alexis with Martin Gray

Not sure why Joss wants to be a WSB agent when she is so anti crime because of Sonny and does she not realize that WSB agents kill people

If they are not bringing Dex back, i think Vaughn is a good choice for Joss. He is very handsome. He is mature. The age difference means nothing. There are many many relationships in which there is a large age difference. That means nothing. I would like to see Joss and Vaughn develop a relationship. I hope frank is smart enough to put Bryce on contract. He was stupid to.let Evan got

Give us more Joss and Vaughn.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)? Can Carly (Laura Wright) with the help of her brother, Lucas (Van Hansis) rescue Josslyn (Eden McCoy) from captivity at Wyndemere? These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!

Now weigh-in: Do you think Anna is still mentally off-balance, or OK, and just pretending to be troubled to get out of France and get back to Port Charles? Will Josslyn finally be rescued, or will Carly and Lucas find themselves locked up with her? And, who will get to Britt and Rocco first? Cullum, or Dante and Lulu?

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

By

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..

In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”

GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW

So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!

FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD

As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and  and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”

Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.

So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL

Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.

The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.

In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”

So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
