Ryan Paevey

And of course, Z saved Cassius and then packed him off to a WSB black site to decide what to do with him later.

This exit was to facilitate an end to Ryan Paevey's stint on General Hospital.

He had some movie work to do, but there was supposed to be an eye on bringing him back later.

And now of course Liesl's mourning, Britt's upset, everybody thinks the worst of Cassius and assumes he's dead.

So Joss helped the WSB save face, and in exchange she got Jason and Valentin both pardoned and released from WSB custody.

But Ryan Paevey said he's definitely open to returning as Cassius, and our leaker said a while ago he wasn't gone for good.

That was before his death/non-death on GH, and now the leaker's back with more info about Ryan Paevey's return to General Hospital.

Our source says we're gonna get Cassius back this fall.
