Yesterday’s episode of General Hospital brought with it the surprise return of Alicia Leigh Willis shortly reprising her role of Courtney Matthews, as she escorts Mike (Max Gail) to heaven.

Willis was last seen on GH in 2015 as a spirit and created the role back in 2001.

The actress took to social media and shared:”A little clip of my surprise return on @generalhospitalabc What a wonderful experience reminiscing with my favorite cast & crew.”

Viewers know that as Mike succumbed to Alzheimer’s, he wanted the dignity of not dying in front of his son, Sonny (Maurice Benard), and to shield Sonny from witnessing his death.

But in the story, Mike did not pass on alone; as his daughter showed up to take him with her to the afterlife.

Check out Courtney’s post below.

She played Faith Newman on The Young and the Restless from 2013-2015 and since that time her career has skyrocketed.

Now comes word that Mckenna Grace has joined the cast of The Handsmaid Tale for its fourth season that is now in production and underway in Toronto, Canada.

According to Deadline, Grace will recur as Mrs. Keyes, a sharply intelligent, teen-aged wife of a much older Commander who rules her farm and household with confidence. She has a rebellious, subversive streak, and is calm and pious on the outside with turmoil, even insanity, on the inside.

The Handmaid Tale is Hulu’s Emmy Award-winning drama and is nominated for 10 Emmys this year and took home its first gold of the ten last night at the Creative Arts Emmys.

As for Mckenna’s other credits … she will be appearing in the upcoming film Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Grace recently starred with Viola Davis in the Amazon feature Troop Zero and in New Line’s Annabelle Comes Home. The actress also was in the film I, Tonya, Lifetime’s The Bad Seed,  and Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and s he has had recurring roles on TV’s Designated Survivor, Young Sheldon and Fuller House.

So what do you think of Mckenna joining the cast of The Handsmaid’s Tale?

Look for The Bold and the Beautiful to add to their cast with news on Thursday that Diamond White (previously see on Empire as Lala) will take on the role of Zoe’s (Kiara Barnes)sister, Paris Buckingham on the CBS daytime drama.

Paris and Zoe are the daughters of crime-ridden Dr. Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady) who was sent to the slammer for his baby-switch plot involving baby Beth and his gambling debts.

Besides her role on Empire, Diamond has had a recurring role on Netflix’s Dear White People, as well as a guest art on ABC’s Fresh off the Boat, and more,
