General Hospital alum Robert Palmer Watkins teases sinister new role in The Fostered

Robert Palmer Watkins has been busy since leaving General Hospital, where he played Dillon Quartermaine, Tracy’s (Jane Elliot) son. Now that everyone is reeling from the death of Monica Quartermaine, fans wonder if Watkins will reprise his role so that Dillon can pay his respects. As that drama unfolds, Watkins has a happier reason to celebrate in real life — he just shared news about his latest movie, and it’s already getting fans talking.

A sinister new film

On Instagram, General Hospital alum Robert Palmer Watkins, who has been busy with numerous projects, revealed his new collaboration with producer Gunnar Garrett. He wrote, “The Fostered featuring @robertpalmerwatkins @britt_underwood @savinaandserena @iamhusky4life is out! You can watch it on Amazon Prime, On Demand, Fandango, Apple TV, Google Play, and YouTube TV.”

In the video he attached, Watkins introduced himself and explained that he plays the role of Kevin. He described the premise as a married couple struggling with infertility who decide to foster children, only to discover that what seemed like a solution turns into something far more sinister than they ever anticipated.

Fans quickly filled the comments section with excitement and support for the former General Hospital star. @hello_itsjess_ wanted to know, “Where can you watch that?” while @fancydancer76 cheered him on, writing, “Hey great to hear you got this gig!!!” Some kept it short and fiery, like @majaalooca, who responded with multiple flame emojis, and @sophiaella664, who added, “Amazing.”

Fans were drawn in

Others had already watched the film starring the General Hospital alum and couldn’t wait to share their thoughts. @justinafrbrown praised, “When you start watching this movie, you are drawn in and want to find out how it ends. The whole cast was great and so talented. I recommend this movie if you're in the mood for a suspenseful thriller.” Similarly, @myra_418 declared, “I loved it!” while @besca_shelton1 added, “I enjoyed watching it. Great actors.” Another fan, @jenixgen, kept it simple: “It was so good!”

Anticipation was just as strong among those who hadn’t yet pressed play. @cathporte admitted, “I haven't watched it yet, but I love the actor you are, so I can't wait to see it.” @susanmattison_ agreed, writing, “Oh, I can't wait. This looks so incredible.” @50fabdam promised, “Gonna watch today!” and @loulilobue added, “Can’t wait to see it! You’re always brilliant [in] every role!”

Some fans couldn’t contain their enthusiasm. @auntjo97 left two lengthy replies: “@gunnar_garrett I can not wait to watch this when i get home from work It looks like a fantastic movie Thank you for all you share,” and later, “East Coast here I just saw this post and I went to check the movie out and I can't believe I have to go to work and not sit home and watch it…I can't wait to get home from work and watch it. I will let you all know, but by the trailer I just watched, it's going to be great @robertpalmerwatkins. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us. You are fantastic. Stay safe.”

International fans of the former General Hospital actor joined in as well. @linda_turnbull71 explained, “Hoping to be able to watch it at some point. For now not available in Belgium,” while @fatin__ahmad told the actor directly, “@robertpalmerwatkins you always my favourite..I wish you always success and ❤️ You 👌.” Meanwhile, @wildpalmtree couldn’t stop raving: “This movie was so good and u were amazing in this too❤️🙌❤️.”
