Q:Whatever happened to Antonio Sabato Jr.? I saw that his character is back on “General Hospital,” but being played by a different actor. -- K.W.
A:Antonio Sabato Jr. recently expressed his disappointment on social media about not being asked to return to the daytime soap “General Hospital” in the 30 years since he departed it. He theorizes that his conservative political views aren’t in alignment with Hollywood’s and that he’s been blacklisted from the ABC soap.
For whatever undisclosed reason, the soap recently recast the role he originated -- John “Jagger” Cates -- with actor Adam J. Harrington.

Is Catherine O’Hara going to be in a new show or movie anytime soon? I loved her in “Schitt’s Creek” and still watch the reruns. -- B.B.
Q:A: While Catherine O’Hara has been making audiences roar with laughter since her “Second City Television” sketch-comedy days almost 50 years ago, she reached the pinnacle of her fame playing Moira Rose in “Schitt’s Creek.” The Canadian comedy series gained a huge following
when it arrived on Netflix, and now at the age of almost 70, O’Hara is busier than ever. She’s currently in the movie “Argylle,” starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard, and you can still catch her in the Netflix film “Pain Hustlers” with Emily Blunt and Chris Evans. However, it’s her upcoming role in the highly anticipated second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us” that has people talking. No further details have been announced about her role. Production for the new season is set to begin this spring, but the series likely won’t air on HBO and Max until 2025.
