'General Hospital' fans have lots to look forward to with deVry's return
The “General Hospital” star spoke to TV Insider about returning to the show.
William deVry notes that he has a slow re-entry, as he will only appear in three episodes during the first two weeks of his return. However, once that third week hits, viewers can expect things to start to get wild.
deVry signed a three-year deal in this “General Hospital” return, which is great news for fans of his character Julian. Will there be a “Julexis” reunion with Nancy Lee Grahn's Alexis?

Julexis fans should brace themselves for a wild ride
The fan-favorite “General Hospital” actor notes that good writing can get a character out of a corner and he knows that the majority of the “GH” audience ultimately wants to see Julian and Alexis together again.
What about those who think it's too late to redeem Jerome? DeVry says that he hopes those viewers can be lured back with a good story, and given the three-year contract that is in place, it seems clear that the writers have a plan that they think can do the trick.

However, he credits the passionate reaction from the Julexis Army for helping to bring him back to the role.
