Vincent Irizarry - who recently wrapped up his stint as David Chow on The Young and the Restless - will return to the role of Dr. David Hayward on All My Children later this year.

The doctor (ex-lover of Erica and Krystal, father to Babe, and nemesis of numerous Pine Valley citizens) made his All My Children debut in 1998 and skipped town in November 2006 when the popular vetern was given his walking papers.
