It wasn’t that long ago that General Hospital’s Liz mentioned that her half-brother Steven was finally out of prison after 11 long years, and moving to Arizona. We wondered if we’d be seeing him again, but Elizabeth said he wanted to steer clear of his occasionally psychotic mom. But it looks like that’s changed, as he will, indeed, be returning, once again played by Scott Reeves!
TV Insider spoke with Reeves as they broke the news that Steven would pop up in Port Charles once more starting on October 24.
“Steven did his time,” the actor explains to TV Insider. “He’s been out of prison for a few months now and has been living in Sedona, Arizona trying to start over and figure out what life is supposed to look like at this point. He lost his medical license, obviously, when he went to prison, but he felt justified in it.”
For those who can’t quite remember why he lost his medical license and went to prison, we’ve got a refresher for you here!
But before he starts over, we guess Steven is going to feel the pull of family, as he’s heading back to Port Charles to reconnect with mom Heather and sis Elizabeth. Yes, Heather tried to murder the woman Steven loved, but she’s a different woman these days now that her cobalt poisoning has been dealt with. And she’s in the middle of a battle to prove that, after Portia tampered with her test results.
Steven may be coming back because of his mom’s legal woes, but time will tell if that’s to support her or push to keep her incarcerated! Whichever it is, Reeves told TV Insider that, “It was great to meet and work with Alley Mills. She is so hilarious and plays that role to the hilt.” The last time he was around, Robin Mattson was playing Heather, so this was a first!
Plus, he had a blast reconnecting with Rebecca Herbst. “That was like reuniting with family because Becky and I are close outside of GH. She really was like my younger sister.”
For now, though, while Reeves says how comforting it was “to work with everybody again and fall back into the lives of those characters,” don’t expect it to be a permanent return. “I would be totally open to coming back because I think there’s so much potential with Steven. Anytime they want me back, I’m there.”
