‘General Hospital’ News finds that while a lot of people have certainly played two different characters at one, this was new territory for this soap star. In fact, ‘General Hospital’ star Roger Howarth is opening up about the challenges that he faced while playing his character, Franco Baldwin. But it’s not playing Franco that was the problem. It was playing Franco with Drew Cain’s mind inside of his own that proved to be quite a task! Here’s what he has to say.

And while there’s no doubt that Roger Howarth is a pro at what he does, he did have to step a little out of the box so to speak in order to make his character within a character story line seem real – or at least as real as can be in the soap world!
“I’m excited… and a little intimidated,’” Howarth recently told ABC Soaps in Depth in an interview. “It’s like somebody hid all the tools and I’ve still got to make stuff. I need a whole other set of walk-ins and talk-ins!”
Despite the challenges, the handsome actor says that he is grateful for all of the support that he has gotten from his fellow ‘General Hospital’ co-stars, the crew and of course, the writers. After all, they are the ones who are responsible for making Franco believe that he’s a man that is either missing or presumed dead! Of course, none of that has been confirmed yet.
“It’s super fun,” Howarth raved. “I just want to make sure the ideas I have work for the longer story… without really being aware of what that story is yet. That’s the puzzle. We [actors] never really know what the bigger picture is. But in this case, I really don’t know!”
