Jon Lindstrom is coming aboard As the World Turns.

The former General Hospital star will appear on the show as Craig Montgomery, the man that fled Oakdale last February after attempting murder. Look for the actor to debut on December 3.

"Jon is a witty and immensely likable actor even when he's doing unspeakable things – as he did [playing twins Kevin and Ryan] on General Hospital," As the World Turns head writer Jean Passanante told TV Guide. "And that pretty much sums up Craig."

Craig will come back to Oakdale "with a deep desire to reconnect with his family, though his first order of business is to get himself off the hook for trying to kill Paul [Roger Howarth]. It's a big problem, but Craig is up for the challenge," Passanante added.

The original Craig Montgomery, Scott Bryce, was fired from As the World Turns earlier this year.
