General Hospital News: Sebastian Roché Is Headed To Primetime – Hot New Job!

Former “General Hospital” cast member, Sebastian Roché, is returning to CW for a recurring role in a new TV series called “Batwoman.” Roché will be working with Ruby Rose, who’s taking on the lead role, as well as Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Nicole Kang, Rachel Skarsten and Dougray Scott.

There’s no news yet as to when he’ll make his first appearance on the show so viewers have to tune in for updates. The DC Comics character was created by Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, and Keith Giffen.

Roché is best known for his role as Mikael Mikaelson, the vampire slayer in the hit series “Vampire Diaries” and the original vampire in the spin-off series “The Originals.” The actor will no longer be playing the character of a blood sucking demon but instead take on an alter ego, Dr. Campbell, who’s respected in the field of philanthropy and plastic surgery.
