Great news, General Hospital fans! Jon Lindstrom will soon be back in Port Charles as Kevin Collins.

The actor, who was briefly replaced by Anthony Starke while he was filming True Detective, is set to arrive on the canvas later this year.

"I was very happily surprised to get a call from [casting director] Mark Teschner asking if I'd be interested in making some appearances," the actor tells Soap Opera Digest. "I was so pleased to go and romp with my old friends at GH again!"

Lindstrom, who's married to soap vet Cady McClain (ex-Kelly Andrews, The Young and the Restless; ex-Dixie Cooney, All My Children), has played the role of Kevin on-again, off-again since 1994. He also played the character on the GH spin-off Port Charles as well as the character of Craig Montgomery on As the World Turns.
