Howarth left OLTL in March 2003 because he didn't like the direction is character was taking and the role was eventually recast with Trevor St. John. Howarth than joined As the World Turns as Paul Ryan and played the role until the series cancellation in 2010. In May 2011, Howarth returned to OLTL and it was eventually revealed that St. John's Todd was really Victor Lord Jr. Howarth played Todd until OLTL was cancelled in January 2012. Howarth appeared on General Hospital in March 2012 as his OLTL character, Todd Manning, in a guest starring arc. Howarth returned in May 2012 as a contract series regular.  Due to legal issues with Prospect Park and ABC, Howarth's Todd had to exit the GH canvas but Howarth returned to GH as Franco.
