— Salina?✨ (@Salinaverse) May 11, 2026Bennett did admit it was a bit challenging to get back into the daytime groove after nearly 25 years. The actor previously starred on All My Childrenas Adam "J.R." Chandler Jr. from 2001 to 2002.
There’s no question that the fast pace of filming General Hospitalwas quite different than filming Hallmark movies, but Bennett admitted it didn’t take him long to find his daytime groove.
“I’m feeling excited, and I’m also laughing because I can’t wait for the world to see what Joe Fitzpatrick is really all about,” Bennett teased to TV Guide magazine. He also admitted that he did not have returning to soaps on his bingo card for 2026.

The timing of Joe's arrival in Port Charles has some fans speculating that the character could be a possible love interest for Lucas (Van Hansis). However, if that is the case, it probably won’t happen for a while.
Lucas is still reeling from Marco’s (Adrian Anchondo) death and is out for revenge against Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell (Carlo Rotta) for it. Perhaps Joe will help Lucas find justice for Marco, but only time will tell.
Whatever happens, Bennett is thrilled to be back in the soap world. The actor previously called going to General Hospital a no-brainer, and he’s thrilled to be part of the show.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
