Valentin Chmerkovskiy To Appear In GENERAL HOSPITAL

Kelly Monaco's DANCING WITH THE STARS: ALL-STARS partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, tweeted on Wednesday he would be appearing in GENERAL HOSPITAL:

On my way to @GeneralHospital and its not cause @kellymonaco1 is working... #DaytimeEmmy here I come lol #thrilled #honored

Monaco also tweeted about the cameo:

So proud of ‪@iamValC [Chmerkovskiy's Twitter handle]‬ Had his 1st day of shooting on the set of ‪@GeneralHospital‬... from ‪#DWTS‬ to ‪#GH‬ :)

GH co-Star Nancy Lee Grahn tweeted a tease of her own:

guess who i'm working with on gh today? hint; he's tall dark and Russian.

As it turns out ‪@iamValC‬ is a better actor than I am.‪ #slightlyannoyed‬.

ABC confirms Chmerkovskiy will play a boxer and he is in scenes with Grahn (Alexis), Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Sean Blakemore (Shawn).

It's a bit of a role reversal for Chmerkovskiy and Monaco, Aas she is on hand today to serve as his acting coach. She is not in the scenes.

His episode is slated to air on December 10.
Meanwhile, Grahn was unable to make it to New York to shoot her appearance on THE CHEW, but will still be a guest on Thursday's episode with a behind the scenes look at GH.
