It all goes down today between 1PM-4PMEST at the CBS Restaurant and Bar in Foxboro.
And in addition to your chance to audition, B&B’s Scott Clifton (Liam) and Melissa Ordway (Abby) will be on hand for a meet and greet with the fans (even if you are not there to audition!).
For those about to get a taste of the life of an actor trying to get on a daytime soap, here is what you need to know if you are auditioning:
Contestants will each receive a 2-minute audition and will be asked to act out a scene. Click here to download a copy of the Male & Female scenes.
The local casting committee will select 10 finalists from each region to be submitted to the network to select a winner.
The person who is selected will receive a SAG/AFTRA contract guaranteeing him or her compensation as a principal performer in a dramatic serial for a single episode at the prevailing scale rate.
The episode, tape date, character portrayed, amount of dialogue, and/or the broadcast of any scenes in which the person selected appears are at the sole discretion of the producers. As is the case with the editing of the show in general, the producers reserve the right not to include the participant’s appearance in the show.
Additionally, the person who is selected will receive round-trip coach class airfare for two from airport nearest winner’s home to Los Angeles, three nights lodging (double occupancy), ground transportation and a per diem. The actual dates of travel are to be determined.

I was hoping to attend this casting, however, I could not get out of my scheduled work shift.
This is probably a good idea for fledgling actors…and quite a baptism by fire given the time constraints of a soap schedule. But I hope it’s not also a trigger for a show (especially GENERAL HOSPITAL) to add more unnecessary characters. I feel that Y&R made that mistake with Stitch, Luca, probably more I can’t recall. And don’t get me started on GH’S transgressions in this area: Jordan, Andre, Valentin, Nurse Amy, Aaron, Parker, T.J., Claudette, Officer (!) Valerie, Claudette’s daughter…enough already!
I agree Soaphound. Or they could go the opposite way, such as B&B, who hire wonderful talent, and don’t take advantage of that talent. In my opinion, one example would be the terrifically talented actor who plays Maya’s dad. Ioved when Maya’s family was introduced and getting all that air time. At least it took us away from the world of Wyatt, Steffie, and Liam, if only for a little while

Nicolas Bechtel On His Return To GH: “I’m Back and I Am Still Spencer”
Look for Spencer Cassadine to finally return to the canvas of General Hospital! Next week, Nicolas Bechtel reprises his fan favorite role as Nikolas’ son!
What will happen when Spencer learns that the father he grieved for over three years is alive and well?
Meanwhile, Bechtel took to Twitter to confirm his return to the ABC daytime drama series expressing: “Well…it’s out of the bag. It was so hard not to reply to all of you. I’m back and I am still Spencer. I can’t wait for next week. Thank you SO much to everyone who supported me. I love being a part of this phenomenal show #gh”
Viewers are looking forward to scenes between Bechtel and Marcus Coloma (Nikolas), Maura West (Ava), Genie Francis (Laura) and James Patrick Stuart (Valentin). Will those all come to pass? Stay tuned.
So, happy to know Bechtel is back as the mischievous Spencer C.? Comment below.

Real Andrews Returns As Marcus Taggert On General Hospital
Well, well, well! Looks who’s back in Port Charles! A major surprise occurred during Thursday’s “Next-On-General Hospital” teasers when viewers saw Sonny’s former nemesis Marcus Taggert, and Sonny himself, in a clip from a scene.
Turns out that today on Friday, January 17th look for the return of Real Andrews to his role as Taggert! Andrews took to his Twitter and Instagram account to confirm the casting news.
Maurice Benard tweeted: “@realandrews He’s Back!!! Bigger and better than ever. On General Hospital. You don’t want to miss it.”
While, Andrews tweeted: “It is going to be a great ride.”
Real played the role of Marcus from 1996-1997 and then again from 1998-2003. He was last seen on the soaps on Days of our Lives back in 2016 and 2017.
In real life, Benard and Andrews are good friends.
Now the question is, could Taggert’s re-emergence tie in to the new case that Jordan (Briana Nicole Henry) is working on, and somehow the return of Nikolas Cassadine to the canvas? Years ago, Taggert’s sister, Gia was involved with the dark prince, leaving fans speculating that perhaps Nik and Gia had a daughter, who could turn out to be Trina played by Sydney Mikayla. Hmmm.
So, give a big “welcome back” to Real as Taggert hits the screen today on GH via the comment section below.
