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

After his time on “General Hospital,” Paevey went on to star in several Hallmark Channel movies, including “Unleashing Mr. Darcy” and “A Little Daytime Drama.” His return to “General Hospital” comes one year after he announced that he was “taking a step back from acting.”

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
