Two
pieces of good news for Jon Lindstrom (ex-Dr. Mark McCormick) : first, the actor
has joined the cast of CBS's new daytime soap opera Beyond
the Gates, which premiered on February 24. Focused on a predominantly
African-American cast, this is the first new soap opera launch on American
television since Passions in
1999. In this new soap created by Michelle Val Jean, writer on Santa
Barbara between 1991 and 1993 and whom
we had interviewed in 2018,
Jon plays Joey Armstrong, an entrepreneur and casino owner. He reunites with
actress Cady McClain, whom he was married to until their separation last April.
Jon is expected to juggle his role in Beyond
the Gates with his portrayal of Kevin Collins in General
Hospital on ABC.
The other piece of good news concerns his debut novel, Hollywood
Hustle, published in February 2024 (see the
News of 03/25/2024).
The rights have been purchased by a studio to produce a movie adaptation ! Jon
is expected to serve as executive producer. A great start to the year for the
actor !
