His character is set to bring new dynamics to the show’s power struggles.
Jesse Williams will take on the role of Vernon, UBN’s newly appointed Head of News. His arrival is expected to create tension within the news division.

Meanwhile, Karen Pittman’s character, Mia, may reassess her career ambitions after reflecting on Stella’s legacy.
