"I have nothing but incredibly positive things to say about my experience playing Todd and at this point, I would pretty much look forward to it he's a great character. And while he's happy to be playing Austin, Howarth says he would have been cool with Todd, as well. Prior to Howarth's reintroduction as Austin, fan speculation about who he might play included the possibility of Todd Manning, his former One Life to Live character that he brought to GH in 2012.

Howarth, who until very recently played Franco Baldwin, says that taking on the role of the new doctor has come with a learning curve for him, as well. General Hospital fans are slowly getting used to seeing Roger Howarth in the shoes of yet another Port Charles character, but it's not just viewers who have needed a little time to adjust to Austin.
