Local soap opera fans are buzzing about the future of Jon Lindstrom, the actor who plays Kevin Collins on “General Hospital.” Lindstrom recently joined the cast of the new CBS soap, “Beyond the Gates.”
“Beyond the Gates” is making history as the first hour-long Black soap opera. It premieres this month, taking over the former timeslot of “The Talk.”
Lindstrom’s new role has “General Hospital” viewers wondering if he’s leaving Port Charles behind. The actor will be playing Joey Armstrong on the CBS soap.
So far, Lindstrom’s status on “General Hospital” remains unclear. The show doesn’t comment on casting, and Lindstrom hasn’t publicly addressed his future with the long-running ABC series.
What we do know is that Lindstrom hasn’t been on contract with “General Hospital” for a while. He’s been appearing on a recurring basis, as needed. His last appearance as Kevin was in December 2024.
It’s also unknown whether Lindstrom is on contract with “Beyond the Gates.” The scope of his role will likely become clearer once the show premieres. The actor has expressed his excitement about the new project and praised its creator, Michele Val Jean.
Could Lindstrom juggle both shows? It’s certainly possible, especially if he’s not under contract with either. Other soap actors, like Wally Kurth, have successfully worked on multiple shows simultaneously.
However, it’s also possible that a more enticing contract offer could lead Lindstrom to focus on one show over the other. Time will tell how central his character becomes on “Beyond the Gates” and whether that impacts his future in Port Charles.
