Paevey, who starred on the show as Nathan West from 2013 to 2018, said the character he's playing is being kept under wraps for now

The actor explained that the idea of returning to the series was kickstarted by receiving a text from "General Hospital" executive producer Frank Valentini.

In a rather shocking twist, Ryan Paevey is on his way back to General Hospital, although it is not clear if he will take on the role of Nathan upon his return. As Nathan was killed off when he left, it could be a tough road integrating him in the tale again.
