The landscape of Port Charles could have looked very different. Colton Little, known to fans as Andrew Donovan on Days of Our Lives, recently revealed that he came incredibly close to joining the cast of General Hospital as Ross Callum.
Little shared the story during an appearance on soap journalist Michael Fairman's YouTube channel, where his partner, Adrian Anchondo, was being interviewed about his exit from the ABC soap opera.
During the conversation, Little said he not only auditioned for the role but also tested in front of the producers.
He added that the character was still evolving at the time. "They were trying to figure out Callum," he said.
Little said he advanced significantly in the casting process before the role ultimately went to Andrew Hawkes. "I got pretty far, and they ended up going in a different direction," he explained.
According to Little, the creative team was still shaping the role during auditions. "I think they were trying to figure out what to do with that character as far as age, type, and how the storyline was going to go. So, they did sort of a broad casting and then narrowed it down," he said.
Although he didn't land the role, Little said he has continued to audition for the show. "I've been in for one other character since on the show," he shared.
