Cady McClain is returning to As the World Turns.

The actress recently blogged about the exciting come back:

I am very excited to be joining ATWT again. They have shared with me some really cool ideas for bring back Rosanna and I am truly looking forward to playing the part! I know last time was rough, everyone at the show knows that, but I realized there was a writers strike going on, and that did play into some of the rough transitions.

Look for McClain to appear on the series again on May 20.
