Days of our Lives and General...
Days of our Lives and
General Hospital are now officially confirming what TVGuide.com
told you last week: Soap vet
John Ingle has left his gig as
Days' Mickey Horton to reprise his signature role as
GH's crusty patriarch, Edward Quartermaine.
"We were so fortunate that John Ingle was available to us at a time when we were desperate to fill story and were dealing with the departure of [Mickey's original portrayer]
John Clarke," says
Days chief
Ken Corday. "We have loved having [Ingle] here, both professionally and personally, but also know a big part of his heart and history is with
General Hospital. Our loss is certainly
GH’s gain, and we wish John nothing but continued success. He will truly be missed!"
A
GH rep says Ingle will be seen on the ABC sudser again sometime this spring. As for
Days, the NBC soap has no plans to recast Mickey at this time.
