Is William DeVry Going to Renew His Contract with 'General Hospital'?

William deVry

Is William deVry going to re-sign his contract with General Hospital when it comes up for renewal later this year?

The actor has five months left on his contract and he reveals in the latest issue of ABC Soaps In Depth, he isn't sure what he is going to do. "You have to cross that bridge as the world unfolds before you-- that's all you can do in daytime!"

Let's hope that deVry is the one who makes the ultimate decision and the show doesn't do it for him! I hear the show was very close to axing him the last time his contract was set to expire.
