Daytime Emmy winner Jeff Branson has been cast as one of the DC Comic characters in CBS’s Supergirl! The annoucement game during the TCA Winter Press Tour, where press members were welcomed to the set of the series.
Branson who played Shayne Lewis on GL, Ronan Malloy on Y&R , as well as Jonathan Lavery on All My Children is set to play the recurring role of Master Jailer, the forceful and unrelenting jail guard on Fort Rozz who showed no mercy. Now on Earth, he is hellbent on catching all of the Fort Rozz escapees and brutally bringing them to justice. Seeing the escaped inmates unleash their wrath on National City only stirs up his inner-vigilante, and he goes on a merciless hunt to round up the prisoners and restore justice to the universe.
The actor tweeted his enthuisiam for his new role on Monday relating: “Could not be more excited to be part of the @supergirlcbs world! Feb 22nd everyone. #Supergirl”

Kelly Thiebaud Departing General Hospital and Heading Back to ‘Station 19’
Kelly Thiebaud is now set to reprise her role of Eva Vasquez, on ABC’s primetime drama, Station 19 and thus the Daytime Emmy winner will exit her role as Dr. Britt Westbourne on General Hospital.
According to Deadline, Thiebaud will be part of the cast for the series 6th season, which premieres on October 6th.

Previously, Kelly appeared on the show’s 3rd season when in story, as the widow of firefighter Rigo Vasquez (Rigo Sanchez), she had an affair with her husband’s colleague Jack Gibson (Grey Damon) that resulted in total chaos.
In a tease for Thiebaud’s return, ABC shared, “Misery loves company and Eva finds solace with someone from her past.”
Kelly has played GH’s Britt on and off since 2012. She won her first Daytime Emmy this past June for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance.
Look for Kelly to exit her GH role in November, while a rep for the soap shared that the actress will be leaving by year’s end.
What do you think of Kelly going to Station 19 and departing General Hospital? How do you think GH will deal with her exit? Will tragedy befall Britt with her living with Huntington’s Disease? Will she be written-off the canvas, leaving the door open for her return?
Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first check out our conversation with Kelly from a year ago and then backstage at the Daytime Emmys following her victory,

So happy for Jeff! He’s too talented not to have been picked up for something new. Y&R’s loss.
Oh, yes, Caroline. I wish ‘Ronan’ would go to Port Charles, collect ‘Phyllis’ and both make a run for Genoa City. They were so hoooot together.
Jeff is a very nice guy and a very talented actor. I wish him all the best. Nice to see a Daytime alum doing well on Primetime!
Jeff Branson knows how to ACT! This new TV show is lucky to have him, and daytime TV should regret letting Branson slip through its fingers…
Cool! I wish Supergirl was available on Hulu. I do not get the major networks or cable.
He reminds me so much of actor Michael Shannon.
I miss waiting tables with jeff, great sense of humor and a nice butt to boot! LOL
Supergirl’s a cute show. Glad to hear he’ll be on it.
I’ll never forget him in the movie, “I Spit on Your Grave” (2010 remake). His character died in the most awful way imaginable.
I’m so proud of you Jeff. I’m an positive you will rock this roll. Just don’t forget about us little people. Love you. Linda
