General Hospital Comings and Goings: GH Gets a Sci-Fi Boost With Sawandi Wilson of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’!
General Hospital Comings and Goings are buzzing with arrivals! Fans rejoiced when they learned about Jonathan Jackson’s comeback as Lucky Spencer. But hold your horses as we’ve got another arrival to shake things up. Yep, General Hospital has just cast Star Trek: Discovery fame Sawandi Wilson. And it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Find out the whole tea!
The ABC Soap Welcomes Sawandi Wilson
General Hospital Comings and Goings reveal that Wilson will play a character named Isaiah. The actor will make his debut on August 26, so make sure you don’t miss the action. Also, it’s established that Isaiah shares a mysterious “connection” with Lucky. Is it enough to predict that the fresh face might turn Lucky’s word upside down?
Meanwhile, Sawandi is not an amateur, and his acting chops are well-recognized. The actor rose to fame while playing Capt. Leto in the last season of Star Trek: Discovery. And let’s not forget his fascinating role as Marcus in Amazon’s Harlem. The GH role will be Wilson’s first stint in an American soap. However, he’s not dealing with serialized drama for the first time.
Remember his recurring role as Dominique on Netflix’s Spanish-language soap The House of Flowers? Additionally, Sawandi had a decent career as a breakdancer before making it big on screen. He then honed his acting skills with notable coaches like Marishka Phillips, Susan Batson, and Bob Krakower.
But let’s not keep the dance thing away from the Star Trek fame. His dance skills might make him a standout at the Nurses Ball if he sticks around Port Charles for a while. Now, let’s talk about Lucky’s highly anticipated comeback. He will bounce back into Port Charles on August 23 and is expected to stay for a good while. The details of his storyline remain scarce.
But, it’s a safe bet that Isaiah will play a role in this drama. In addition, the ABC soap showrunner Nathan Varni increased excitement on X/Twitter by teasing a major twist. He mentioned a big reveal with a masked character and urged viewers to tune in to “Friday’s thrilling episode.” Who could it be other than Lucky, right?
After all, GH viewers have seen him getting severe treatment in prison while undergoing intense interrogation. With Sawandi Wilson’s Isaiah now part of the mix, we can’t wait to see how he’ll fit in!
