SERIES

Robert Kelker-Kelly, a veteran actor who’s had roles on “Another World” and “Days of Our Lives,” joins “General Hospital” (2 p.m. ABC) as Stavros Cassidine, a fellow presumed to have died nearly two decades ago.

“Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher” (12:05 a.m. ABC) reaches its 1,000th installment.
