The evil As the World Turns character of James Stenbeck - portrayed by Anthony Hererra on and off since 1980 - is returning to the series. Look for his first appearance on August 27.

In other show news, Soap Opera Digest reports that Grayson McCouch is also returning as Dusty Donovan. He'll begin taping in mid-August and debut on September 24.

As the World Turns fans know, of course, that Dusty died earlier this year. Therefore, it's unclear at the moment if the character will be alive or showing up from the Great Beyond. Guess we'll need to tune in to find out!
