Blake Berris steps in as Spinelli for Maxie & Nathan's wedding on General Hospital

Days of our Lives alum Blake Berris (ex-Nick) temporarily steps in for Bradford Anderson as Spinelli beginning today on General Hospital, and plans to mark the occasion on twitter.

Berris tweeted, "will live tweet my 1st appearance on @GeneralHospital tomorrow. excited to meet you all. #GH"

One person who is excited for Berris is the aforementioned Anderson, who replied, "Go get 'em pal!"

As previously reported, Anderson--who isn't on contract with GH-- backed out at the last minute to appear on Homeland, necessitating the surprise recast.

Welcome to General Hospital, Blake Berris! We will enjoy you for the short time we have you.

Update: Due to GH's national preemption on Friday, January 6, Berris will now first appear as Spinelli on Monday, January 16.
