ABC/Rick Rowell)

As the World Turns fan favorite Trent Dawson has been cast as Huxley on ABC soap opera General Hospital.

Dawson, who played Henry Coleman on ATWT for the show's final 11 years, will be reuniting him with former co-stars Maura West (Ava; ex-Carly ATWT), Jon Lindstrom (Kevin; ex-Craig ATWT,) Lynn Herring (Lucy; ex-Audrey ATWT), and Roger Howarth (Franco; ex-Paul ATWT).

Dawson tells Soap Opera Digest, Huxley is "a heightened character and very British--that's the way I'm playing him so far and no one's told me to stop!"

Although Huxley is scheduled to be a short-term role, Dawson says he would love to continue with the popular show.

"Henry was supposed to be on for a weeks and he went on for years, so you never know," he says.

Dawson first airs on June 13.
