Prepare for Nathan Parsons, General Hospital fans.

The actor will make his soap opera debut the week of January 26.

As TV Guide reports, Parsons will portray the recurring role of Ethan. He'll interact specifically with Anthony Geary (Luke), as the pair bond at an out-of-town bar.

There, a friendship slowly forms, as a Luke begrudgingly realizes that he and this youngster have more in common than he might want to think.
