Former soap star Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing, General Hospital; ex-Whip Jones, The Bold and the Beautiful; ex-Carter Mills/Matt Clark, The Young and the Restless) is making a guest-starring appearance on Vampire Diaries.
Soap opera alum Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing, General Hospital; ex-Whipple Jones, B&B; ex-Matt Clark, The Young and the Restless; ex-Alan-Michael Spaulding, Guiding Light; ex-Scotty Banning, Days of our Lives) recently made a quick return trip to GH's Port Charles, and it must have given him a hankering for vampires (Caleb Morley, anyone?), because he's now heading to The CW's Vampire Diaries.
"So stoked! Just booked an episode of #vampirediaries," the actor tweeted along with a hilarious meme to go along with the news. "Will there be blood? Wait and see..."
Hearst later took to Instagram with a photo of him on the set of the popular primetime series with the caption, "My Digs for the next 2 Days! #thevampirediaries #actorslife #thisdoesnotsuck"
UPDATE (October 24):
Hearst took to Instagram to share that his Vampire Diaries episode will air on Friday, October 28. He opens the scene, so make sure you're prompt!
