[Spoiler], Is That You? General Hospital Casts Another Leading Man From Down Under to Play a Pivotal Role
General Hospital just keeps importing actors from Australia. First the show cast Dean Geyer as Tristan, then it recruited Troy Lennon Appel to play Hudson, and now it’s hired Wil Traval for a key role, TV Insider reports.
Who’s That Guy?
Come October, Traval will make his debut as mystery man Jude — who we’d bet anything is a member of the Jacks family, seeing as their names always start with J. (Jasper, Jerry, Josslyn… ) Though he looks a bit young to play Jax, he could even be stepping into the role of Carly’s former husband and Joss’ MIA dad.

The Face Is Familiar, But…
If the actor looks familiar, it could be because you’ve seen him on anything from Grey’s Anatomy to Chicago P.D. Down Under, he played doctor on the enduring medical drama All Saints.

Traval is just one of about a zillion new General Hospital hires. In addition to his fellow Australian natives, the show has recently cast Alimi Ballard as Jack’s replacement Baines at the WSB, Kearran Giovanni as Kevin stand-in Dr. Nichols and Blythe Howard, whose Monet is taking ill-fated Marco’s place at Davis & Miller.
