Inspired by seeing Stephen A. Smith on General Hospital, Oliver demanded a ridiculous character name, murder/slap plotlines, and plenty of close-ups—and both shows happily obliged. He’s already taped episodes for Days of Our Lives, calling it an honor to join legends like Deidre Hall, and will appear in three episodes of General Hospital starting July 2nd. His soap debut is set to air in mid-August, proving that even the most unlikely stars can find their place in daytime drama—and fans are already buzzing.
