Beyond the Gates Season 2 has already brought some surprises, from updated title cards to name changes and new faces in the opening sequence. One of the biggest updates is Jon Lindstrom.
Lindstrom has been part of the show since its February 2025 premiere, playing resident bad boy Joey Armstrong, a character unlike his General Hospital role as Dr. Kevin Collins.
Viewers noticed that until the January 5 episode, Lindstrom’s name had not appeared in the Beyond the Gates opening credits, despite him being featured heavily in the series since his debut. His storylines have driven major plots, while GH fans had not seen much of his character since he began filming in Atlanta while GH shoots in Los Angeles.
That changed in December when Lindstrom made a surprise return as Kevin Collins. The return could not have come at a better time, particularly for his on-screen wife, Mayor Laura Collins.
However in this week’s episodes, as the story unfolded, Laura encouraged Kevin to take a teaching position in Dublin and bring their grandson Ace along to keep him safe. Kevin was hesitant to leave, especially without Laura. She wisely pointed out that it wasn’t the right time for her to leave town, and after some convincing, Kevin agreed to go to Ireland with Ace. This move allows Laura to focus on her own mission to take down Sidwell.
What Happens to Kevin on General Hospital?
With Lindstrom now officially added to the Beyond the Gates opening credits and Kevin leaving Port Charles on GH, fans are wondering what this means for Kevin’s future. Could this be the last we see of him?
In a recent interview with TV Insider, Lindstrom discussed the challenges of balancing GH appearances with his heavy schedule on Beyond the Gates. He emphasized that he would happily return to GH, but admitted, “I just don’t know if we can work it out. I’m busier than I have ever been, and I thought I would be rested by now.“
Fans will be watching closely to see if Lindstrom can juggle both roles or if Kevin Collins’ future on GH is about to take a very long pause.
