Scott Clifton, who is best known to soap opera fans for his role as Dillon Quartermaine on General Hospital between 2006-2007, is coming aboard One Life to Live.

Daytime Confidential has published a series of pics of the actor in the role of Schuyler, a high school teacher. Look for him to debut on January 9.

Scott Clifton is coming back to daytime TV!

Might this be the year Brenda returns to General Hospital?

Vanessa Marcil recently made such a comeback sound very possible, telling Soap Opera Weekly: "We're trying to make it work again."

Marcil starred on the soap opera from 1992-1998. Since then, her most prominent roles have included Beverly Hills, 90210 and Las Vegas.

We'd love to see Vanessa Marcil return to General Hospital.

On the January 2 edition of E!'s The Soup, a pair of stars from The Bold and the Beautiful helped host Joel McHale ring in the New Year by poking fun at themselves.

Ronn Moss  and Kyle Lowder stopped by the set, as their clip - in which Ridge constantly utters Rick’s name - came in at number-five on the show’s year-end countdown.

Enjoy this look at the appearance:
