Great news! Drake Hogestyn (John) has recovered/back at studio

[Jason47]

Head writer Dena Higley tweeted the news earlier today that Drake Hogestyn (John) is back! Hogestyn had been injured in a stunt on May 5 and had been unable to work since then.

Glad to hear he's well enough to work again.

Oh, yay! That means John won't be killed off!

 

[Poirot]

Oh, that is wonderful news! Bless his heart.

Oh, yay! That means John won't be killed off!

I just figured they'd slap him into yet another coma while the actor was recovering.

Or say he's been kidnapped

Terrific news that he is back!

Jason, do you know whether he was back taping before this & the announcement was made today or that he did in fact return for the first time today? Thanks!! (your cookies are in the mail - haha!)

Wonderful news and Thursday is his birthday.

I wonder if they will go back and film scenes to add into storylines while he was gone.

Sure am glad Drake Hogestyn (John) is back in the studio today, but it bothers me that NONE of the cast has mentioned a word!

 

[Just Samantha]

Maybe the cast was told not to mention anything about him publicly, since it was an on-set accident.

 

[Poirot]

Twitter & Facebook are full of the news, so it is out that he is at the studio. For a cast member to say "good to have him back" is not spilling anything. And the soap mags are only elaborating on Dena's tweet. Just odd.

 

[Just Samantha]

Just seems like there was a total blackout on any news of him from the cast and crew during this whole injury and recovery period.

 

[Poirot]

Oh, I know they were all under orders to not say a single word. But if he really is back working, it is odd that there is really NO pic, nor even a "good to see him"...just nothing. And if everyone was told to keep their lips zipped, then why did Dena say anything?

[Heather4CU]

I think Dena was told to tweet

 

[Poirot]

could be....but she only said he was in the studio---he coould have been visiting? Not working..

Wow now May 5th seems so long ago. Glad to hear he is in studio!
