The soap opera world is buzzing with a massive casting rumor! Carson Boatman is officially wrapping up his time as Johnny DiMera. Fans of Days of Our Lives were shocked by his exit news earlier this year. However, the actor is already looking at his next big move. Could his future involve a trip to Port Charles? Boatman recently dropped hints about joining General Hospital.
Trading Salem for Port Charles’ General Hospital
Carson Boatman recently finished filming his final scenes in Salem. The news of his departure stunned the entire daytime community. Three other young stars were also let go during a holiday hiatus. Boatman admitted he felt blindsided by the sudden changes to the contract. Yet he remains incredibly grateful for his five years on the show. He called the set a truly special place for any actor.
Now the star is eyeing a potential role on General Hospital. Boatman openly shared his interest during a recent press tour. “I would love a jump to GH as well,” he told reporters. He noted he is absolutely open to seeing life in Port Charles. Fans are already imagining him in a high-stakes legacy role. Some viewers think he would make a perfect Spencer Cassadine recast. His charm and intensity would certainly fit the Cassadine family drama.
Chasing Music and New Melodies after Days Of Our Lives
While his acting future is bright, Boatman is also pivoting to music. He recently released a brand-new single titled “Wild Thing.” This career shift allows him to explore different creative outlets. He explained that music offers a unique form of storytelling. In soaps, an actor plays one character for many years. Music lets him become someone new with every single song.
He co-wrote his latest track and shared the video on social media. His Days of Our Lives co-stars have shown immense support for his talent. Eric Martsolf and Brandon Barash even cheered him on in the comments. Boatman plans to release even more music through the year 2027. He is currently touring with The Day Players band across the country. Fans love seeing this different side of the talented young star.
Looking Toward a Bright Future in General Hospital
The actor will remain on our screens for a long time. Days of Our Lives films episodes nearly ten months in advance. Because of this, Johnny DiMera will stay in Salem until 2027. This gives fans plenty of time to say their final goodbyes. It also allows the show to wrap up his messy romances. We will see how things end between Johnny and his wife, Chanel.
However, the excitement for his potential General Hospital debut continues to grow. Boatman has a natural leading-man energy that fits the ABC soap perfectly. He is keeping a very positive attitude about his career transition. He is genuinely excited to see what the future holds for him.
Whether he is singing or acting, Boatman stays busy and focused. He might even return to Salem one day if they ask. For now, Port Charles seems like his most likely next destination. Fans will be watching closely for any official casting news. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more General Hospital updates!
