On Thursday, GENERAL HOSPITAL revealed that Roger Howarth, Michael Easton and Kristen Alderson would be returning to the soap on May 10, as new characters. Today, head writer Ron Carlivati filled TV Guide Magazine in on the plans for some of the veteran GH actors that have returned in 2013. Below are a few excerpted quotes:

Genie Francis (Laura) & Kin Shriner (Scotty):
There's still a lot of story to tell with Genie and Kin. We'll keep that triangle very much alive for a while but it will be resolved. I don't see either one leaving us anytime soon.
Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie):
It's been so great having Jackie Zeman back on the show but she will be going away again, but not without a wonderful capper on her visit. It's a lovely little payoff, something the audience will be very happy with
Lynn Herring (Lucy):
She's sticking around. I adore Lynn Herring. She brings humor and warmth and so much heart to the show, so I don't want her to go anywhere.
Jack Wagner (Frisco):
There's nothing more for him right now.
Vanessa Marcil (Brenda) & Ingo Rademacher (Jax):
Vanessa will remain with us at least through the resolution of this arc. I have a real soft spot for that character, even when she's gone too far. As for Ingo, I'm very open to having him come back. We love that guy.
