I have a correction to make from General Hospital's spring preview -- Michael will be returned to Sonny and Carly, not Alexis. Thanks to Christine, who spotted that. Sorry for all the confusion guys.

Meanwhile, all the One Life to Live fans can rejoice. Returning characters + new characters = News, news, news.

All My Children Braden (Joe Murphy) -- will we see him or won't we? (Check out the AMC teasers below.) At least for now, Murphy is voicing the character.

As the World Turns Henry looks for a job at Apex April 4, meaning cast favorite Felicia Taylor will play herself. (Apex is the car service cast members use to commute to their Brooklyn studio.)

Days of Our Lives Tek (Rhasaan Orange) will get more screen time. Orange is officially on contract.

General Hospital Helena (Constance Towers) returns in May.

Guiding Light Lena (Linda Dano) begins April 15.

One Life to Live Lisa Williamson (Janet Hubert, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) is Evangeline's mom and Clay (Obba Babatunde) is her uncle, both characters appear April 22. Renee Elise Goldsberry's (Evangeline) real-life mother will also appear in scenes that day. Ginger (Shannon McGinnis) gets rescued by Tess April 12.

OUT

As the World Turns Rafael (Michael Cardelle) has officially been nixed.

NEWS & RUMORS

Lauralee Bell (Christine, Young & the Restless) has been bumped to recurring status. The actress has plenty of irons in the fire: She's in Carpool Guy, owns a store (On Sunset), has a few more projects in development and will soon be involved in a major storyline at Y&R. Not to mention raising her own children. (For more on Bell, check out next week's "Spotlight On..." feature.)

One Life to Live stars return -- briefly. Susan Haskell (Marty) and Jason-Shane Scott (Will), both in May. Marty will be involved with Todd's rape and Will, as Jen (Jessica Morris), his sister, leaves town.

Speaking of OLTL, one of Kassie DePaiva's (Blair) hobbies is crocheting. You can own one of her handmade hats, called Kassie's Happy Hats. Each one is $35 with proceedings supporting the League for the Hard of Hearing. For more details (and pics), check out her website, kassiedepaiva.com
