For Massiah, the latest update marks a return to the series regular status.
She was seen in a recurring role in the maiden season of the show. This was followed by a regular stint from Season 2 to 5. Post the fifth season, Massiah again was back to the recurring role, where her character, May Grant, attended USC. This was the time when she took a break, as she herself was a full-time student at UCLA.
As per the Deadline report, Massiah got her degree in sociology two months ago and is now looking forward to be back on the drama series as a full-time cast member.
On the other hand, Elijah Cooper has been featured in a recurring role since the seventh season of the series. Before he was roped in for the role, Harry Grant was essayed by a different actor from Season 1 to 5. The character was not featured in the sixth season, since this was the time when Harry went away to stay with his father.
