William deVry to Guest Star on Upcoming Episode of ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’
William deVry, last seen on daytime as General Hospital’s Julian Jerome, will be appearing in an upcoming episode of CBS’ NCIS: Los Angeles. Circle, Sunday March 20th (9PM ET/PT).
In an episode titled “Murmation”, the NCIS team investigates an unidentified aircraft that flies into U.S. airspace and crashes into a Navy plane. In addition, Deeks and Kensi begin to prepare for their foster inspection.
Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, and Linda Hunt star, and deVry will take on the role of Navy Captain Lombardo/XO.
NCIS: Los Angeles, is also available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
So, excited to see Will back on network TV on the NCIS Franchise? Comment below.
The treatment of Julian Jerome was more criminal than almost anything the man did himself. The hypocritical judgments of Julian by Sam and others who were eager to forgive Sonny’s evil deeds were appalling. They wrote him into a corner…why? Too handsome to be on the same show as Sonny or Jason? That’s what it seems like. I had hoped Will would replace Richard Burgi as Ashland Locke. That at least would have raised the heat quotient on Y&R. I hope he finds a home in either day- or prime time.
Holding a knife to his wife’s throat, killing people by leaving a bomb in a restaurant, chloroforming Monica to steal Wiley… let’s not sugarcoat the character. The “Olivia/Cyrus/Nelle made me do it” excuse just doesn’t hold up. The popularity of the Alexis/Julian pairing was the main reason he stayed on the show as long as he did.
It wasn’t my intention to sugarcoat anything. I’m just saying that the deeds of Sonny, Jason, Carly, Ava…these all get either forgotten or swept so far under the rug that we’ll never see them again. And I don’t agree that his tenure depended on Alexis; with better writing they’d have had another leading man to reckon with, instead of dull Drew and dopey Dante.
Agree Soaphound, completely! SO many killers and more and now they are heros… and don’t forget Nina ripped Avery from Ava’s loins and now they are besties! Julian was written into a corner and I know from actually meeting and talking to him, he wanted to stay. Too much hotness, I guess!!♀️
Mom2530, hotness is right. Even the back of that man’s NECK used to stoke my fires. I keep hoping he’ll show up on YR or DOOL.
You do know somebody wrote that garbage right..citing character flaws when the main topic is about why this actor should still be on gH is the sign of a mark…They clearly had issues with the actor for them to go so deeply to destroy his character…They didn’t treat the Peter/Heinrich character as badly as they wrote Julian and Wes Ramsey is a terrible actor
He has always had a cowardly history, even before Sonny came on the scene. And don’t forget he slithered into town under an assumed name and Ava killed Connie to keep his secret. Oh, and didn’t he gut Carrlos like a fish? Tried to kill Brad, too, but couldn’t even get that right; hurt Lucas instead. He was never that strong of a character going back to when his father was alive.
Agreed Alic
When first introduced, Victor and Olivia Jerome were the most compelling members of the family.
Victor Jerome’s infatuation with Lucy and Olivia Jerome’s redemption with Colton were both good storylines.
Going back in GH history, it’s puzzling that they never retconned Lucas to be Robert’s son. However, that would’ve taken him out of Bobbie’s orbit and into Mac’s after Robert’s presumed death in the early 90s.
With responsibility for the perceived “first deaths” of Duke Lavery and Olivia Jerome, Julian was written according to character when he did all the bad things over the past 5 years. It’s a testament to deVry’s skilled acting that the character stayed around as long as he did.
Right, Steve. The actor himself is skilled and seems likeable, but his character has always been weak, and he could never quite do the right thing. He was a bad mobster and a dodgy “reformed” mobster.
Much missed from GH, but will watch him in this show…
Listen situations happen behind the scenes something was going on he got sideways with somebody it’s all politics with the soaps as everything is !
So true… always a soap opera behind the soap opera ! I will alway enjoy watching William Devry… just because he is a fellow Canadian !
If a Devil remembers correctly, it was more an issue of William being able to live in Canada & work in the US… which proved to be extremely difficult during the worst of the pandemic when the border was effectively closed. So he chose Canada. Given that they have an actual health care system… and there was a pandemic going on… that was a logical choice.
Now of course you could argue about the way the character was written out, considering he pretty much undid any “redemption” he might have earned since his return from the dead.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Who Will Turn Out to Be Adam’s Father?
For weeks, General Hospital has been playing up the anxiousness, anxiety, pressures of a college student named Adam as played by Joshua Benard (the son of Maurice Benard) on the ABC daytime drama series.
Adam and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) have become friends, and along the way she seems to be attempting to put together the pieces of what is going on with this young man. In story, what we have learned as it seems that he is receiving unbelievable pressure from his mom and dad, to ensure he has the best grades in order to become a doctor.
On Wednesday’s episode, after receiving a 97 on his test in a do-over, he called his father. We don’t hear the voice on the other line, only Adam’s. Apparently, the father was not happy that Adam has to do a make up test, even though he received a high score.

So, where is this all leading? Is Adam suffering from bipolar disorder or mental illness? Is he talking to anyone on the phone? Or, is he the son of a current character on the canvas, or a new or incoming villain?
Much speculation has been made that Adam might turn out to be the bio-son of Mr, Brennan (Charles Mesure), presumed to be the nefarious ‘Pikeman’. However, Adam had said that his parents were both doctors. Others are assuming he could turn out to be another child of Sonny Corinthos, but Sonny doesn’t know it, and he was raised by some over-achieving well-to-do parents.
Looks like next week, Josslyn and Trina (Tabyana Ali) may be on the case to try to figure out what is really going on with the guy.
So the questions become … do you think this will turn out to be just a random story featuring Joshua Benard? Do you think Adam till be tied-in more to the Port Charles canvas? Is Joss spending too much time with Adam and and not enough time with Dex (Evan Hofer)?
In addition, Joshua just turned 19-years-old this week on December 5th. Shout out to another year around the sun.
Share your theories on Adam. what you think is going on with him, and who could be his father, via the comment section. Now below, check out the scenes between Adam and Joss from Wednesday’s GH.

Kimberly McCullough Shares Remembrance of the Late TV Legend Norman Lear on the Set of ‘One Day At a Time’
Television legend, Norman Lear passed away on Wednesday at the age of 101 years old. The comedy genius who created, wrote and produced some of the greatest sitcoms of all time died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Lear’s body of work included: All in the Family, One Day at a Time, Maude, The Jeffersons and Good Times, Sanford & Son, plus the soapy, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
General Hospital’s beloved Kimberly McCullough (Robin) has been working as a director in the television industry for years now and upon learning the news of Lear’s passing, shared a very touching moment via her Instagram that stayed with her through her directorial career. McCullough had been a director on the reboot of One Day at a Time that featured EGOT winner, Rita Moreno.

McCullough expressed: “My hat goes off to your, sir Norman. What a wonderful life you lived. In my very first directing job, only 6 weeks after having a baby, I was feeling fragile and not quite ready to get back to work. On the set of One Day At A Time, you squeezed my chin and said ‘Look at you! A baby directing our show.’ It wasn’t condescending at all. In fact you seemed thrilled by how far we’d come in the industry, giving young women a seat at the table. I replied, ‘I’m not a baby. I just had a baby.”‘
McCullough added: “You gave me nod of approval saying, ‘Even better. You let me know if you need anything.’ That meant the world to me. Thank you for your service of the television industry, of our country and being a stand up human. #ripnormanlear”
In a previous post pictured with Norman Lear, Kimberly shared: “Thank you changing the world with your storytelling. Honored to say I’ve been able to work with you. One time I heard you say “but where is the HEART of the story?” I have a feeling you’ve asked that question a lot…”
The Lear family also put out this statement on the death of the iconic TV genius: “Thank you for the moving outpouring of love and support in honor of our wonderful husband, father, and grandfather,” the Lear family said in a statement. “Norman lived a life of creativity, tenacity, and empathy. He deeply loved our country and spent a lifetime helping to preserve its founding ideals of justice and equality for all. Knowing and loving him has been the greatest of gifts. We ask for your understanding as we mourn privately in celebration of this remarkable human being.”
Tonight, across all network television, an in memoriam card will air at 8PM ET/PT to pay tribute to Lear and acknowledging his influence in the medium.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What are Your First Impressions of Charles Mesure as ‘Mr. Brennan’?
There’s a new villain in town and things are about to get turned upside down for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) as General Hospital circles back around to the looming mysterious ‘Pikeman’ story and who was the target of the shooting at the Metro Court that put Curtis in a wheelchair.
Last Friday, and into yesterday’s Tuesday, December 5th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, viewers were introduced to “Mr. Brennan” who has to turn out to be the dastardly “Pikeman.”
If his portrayer looks familiar, actor Charles Mesure has appeared in numerous television series and film roles including: Once Upon a Time, Castle, The Mentalist, Desperate Housewives, Bones and more. Mesure is also British-born, but moved to Australia when he was younger, accounting for the fabulous accent “Mr Brennan” has on GH.

In story on GH, as Sonny was telling “Mr. Brennan’s” minion, Hume that he would no longer run Pikeman’s shipments through his territory, the guy showed up at Kelly’s Diner with an ominous message for Carly (Laura Wright), although she doesn’t know it.
On Tuesday, in his room at the Metro Court, Brennan is upset that Sonny won’t work with him and tells Hume he plans to stay in Port Charles to make sure the shipments to Canada are ready to go. We also learn that apparently the head of the WSB has taken a leave of absence. Brennan reveals that being the director has its benefits. He then says he got rid of Frisco and he can work remotely and now things are falling into place.
Hume asks Brennan who the intended target is in all of this, and he says both Sonny and Anna. “Brennan’s” goal is to force Sonny’s hand to continue the shipments and more. Meanwhile, Curtis on the case as to who is behind his shooting and more.
So, what has been your impressions thus far of GH’s newest baddie as played by Charles Mesure? Let us know in the comment section below.
