General Hospital has churned out quite a few stars over the years. Rock star Rick Springfield and TV star John Stamos immediately come to mind. More recently, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, who played Spencer Cassadine, has become a breakout star in the Netflix show Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
Not all actors leave the show completely and choose to stay on board while pursuing other projects on the side. Cameron Mathison (Drew Quartermaine), Adam Huss (Nikolas Cassadine), and Parry Shen (Brad Cooper) are just a few of the actors who’ve had success with other shows while still playing their General Hospital characters.
Youngster Viron Weaver, who plays the adorable Wiley Corinthos, has joined that list and recently made a special announcement.

Soaps in Depth broke the news that Weaver would be appearing in a brand-new digital movie called Caution! Cute Baby Alert! on ReelShort.com, describing it as a “feel-good story about love, secrets, and family!”
What distinguishes the ReelShort films from other ones is that they’re divided into two-minute-long videos, and this one comprises 77 parts. Weaver plays Charlie, who shares scenes with Charlie’s parents, Scarlett and Robert, played respectively by Skylar Fast and Jake Hobbs.
ReelShort describes the film thusly:
One night with Robert the billionaire, and Scarlett was pregnant. She never saw him again. Her parents rejected her and her baby was confirmed dead. Unbeknownst to Scarlett, her baby didn't die; instead, he was sold. Years later, a cute baby called her mommy. He wants her to marry his dad who pretends to be a chauffeur.
Soaps in Depth further encapsulates the film’s synopsis as:
Meanwhile, Robert has been raising Charlie as a single dad, unaware that the woman he believes is his son’s mother has been lying to him. The guys’ lives are turned upside down after a chance meeting with Scarlett, with whom Charlie feels an instant connection. Robert and Scarlett fall in love and get married — but he’s keeping a huge secret from her, and it’s not just about Charlie’s mother!
While Weaver’s Wiley on General Hospital is a nice kid, Charlie is described as being spoiled. You can see some of him in action in the trailer, as well as Weaver’s Instagram page, where he shared some behind-the-scenes videos with the caption:
Behind the scenes of my latest film Caution! Cute Baby Alert! streaming on ReelShort! I had a blast doing stunts and got some time to enjoy the pool!

And when you watch the clips he shared, you can clearly see that it’s not a 30-year-old stuntman, but Weaver himself falling down, jumping into a pool, and more. The kid’s got amazing acting talent, and if he keeps this up, he’s gonna be doing his own stunts like Tom Cruise!
You can watch new episodes of General Hospital on ABC and Hulu.
