If you haven’t heard, Brandon Barash is parting with Days of Our Lives, and what is Days’ loss could be General Hospital’s gain.
Prior to him portraying Stefan DiMera on the Peacock series, Barash captivated many daytime TV fans as the one and only Johnny Zacchara. Like Sonny (Maurice Benard), he was a big kingpin in Port Charles who was just as charming as he was dangerous. While Sonny and Johnny never managed to become friends by any stretch of the imagination (for a time the Zacchara family were mortal enemies of Sonny), the two men actually shared some overlap in family and friends. Both Sonny and Johnny have been romantically involved with Carly (Laura Wright) and Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), and Johnny once befriended Sonny’s daughter Kristina.
