While I am gutted for Lexi Ainsworth⏤who I’ve only liked since her return in 2015⏤I cannot hide my excitement at Kate Mansi being cast in the role, especially since I never saw Mansi returning to daytime, especially on another soap opera outside of DAYS OF OUR LIVES. There is contention for this casting: was Ainsworth unavailable, fired, etc. but it’s my belief they’ve wanted Kristina around for a while, and Ainsworth has been unavailable while seemingly being in Europe, and when she’s back in Los Angeles she is openly available, and comes to play. And you don’t temporarily recast a role with a major name like this, and not state it’s temporary! I’m wishing Mansi luck in the role and have hopes this could mean more Kristina Davis in the coming months!

Now… produce a new cast shoot so we can get new images of Mansi, ASAP! And let’s get Kristina, the superior Davis daughter, back at the forefront.

I like both actresses but favor Kate whom I understand will be carrying her sisters baby. That should be quite a story.

I agree Scott, Kristina is superior! Helena can come pick up Molly and Alexis and take them to the basement of Cassadine island and stay there!

Wow! Very interesting!! I can see her as Kristina.

I loved Lexi in the role of Kristina. I think Kate looks too old for the role; she almost looks like a peer of Sam’s.

agree…They aged Kristina with LM and she didn’t even last a whole year before bringing Lexi back. Frank is making a big mistake…but Lexi deserves better treatment and she will have it.

I agree. I wish Lexi all the best if leaving was her choice but if it wasn’t it will be very difficult to accept another actress in the role.

Agreed! You can see Lexi’s response on her IG

I loved Lexi as Kristina; no news on why she was recast? And if Kate left DAYS several times because she didn’t want to be tied down to daytime soaps, I don’t see how GH is banking on her sticking around. Also looks too mature for the role; more like Sam’s age rather than Kristina. Interesting and surprising.

Kate Mansi is 5 years old than Lexi but still younger than Kelly Monaco so it works age wise. That said, the Davis Girls actresses are a pretty tight group. Also, Lexi is the only one who had chemistry with Maurice Bernard. It should be interesting

Love Lexi Ainsworth and so disappointed for her!!

I thought we were told Lexi was given a bigger part on the show. Now she is gone. Confused.

They said story was coming up for Kristina – not necessarily who plays her.

Why??? Lexi was fabulous and had such a great connection with everyone. Was it Lexi’s choice to leave?

Don’t know about this one….

For one thing, they tried a Kristina recast before and it was a complete failure. Then they brought Lexi back and have failed to write for her ever since, which is probably why she’s leaving.

As for Kate Mansi, she was good on Days. Until she got bored with it and wanted out. Then wanted back in. And created that whole “musical chairs” scenario with Marci Miller where you didn’t know which one it was going to be from one year to the next. Then suddenly neither one was available, so they slaughtered the character and implied that she wasn’t somehow eligible for the “Rolf Zombie potion” treatment, even though she was a DiMera by marriage.

Kate does look passable as the sister of Sam & Molly and the daughter of Alexis and Sonny, so she’s got that much in her favor, I guess. Not going to say I’m not going to be a little pissed off if they’re suddenly willing to write for her, when they wouldn’t write for Lexi though.

Have they lost their ever-effing minds recasting Kristina?!?!?!?! There better be a good explanation for this like Lexi not wanting to continue or having a major conflict. Lexi IS Kristina! She looks like a Davis girl! Fans have been with Lexi for YEARS! Lexi has chemistry with Maurice as her father! Infact, she has chemistry with everyone on the show! WHY?!? WHY?!? WHY?!?

I saw Kate on DAYS and she’s a fine actress but she is NOT Kristina!

What the H precipitated this disastrous decision? We deserve an explanation!

Really burnt up about this if you can’t tell.

bummed too, hope Lexi wasn’t fired and that she just couldn’t commit. still Kate could’ve been cast as a new character. damn I’m really bummed out about this one.

Lexi posted a video on her Instagram. She said she was looking forward to the story. It doesn’t sound like it was her decision to leave. I’m pissed! I’m also kind of wondering what brings Kate to GH after not wanting to stick around at DAYS. I mean I was a bigger fan of Marci Miller anyway! Still there’s no loyalty or dedication there!

I kinda hate to see the present Kristina leave, but I know Kate very well from Days of our Lives. I Love, Love Kate and think she is an Amazing actress !!! I ‘m just not happy that she will be taking such a minimal role. Kate is a main star actress !! ❤️❤️

I want real Kristina back already! Didn’t care for Kate’s Abby on DAYS. Kristina was my favorite of the sisters not anymore. An explanation would be nice!

She hasnt been on in a long time. You can get use to Kate. She is a really good actress and will make the role her own.

Good luck girly you are in for a rough ride! I would not take this job for a million dollars you are acting against vampire Nancy the complete nut job ! Prayers are with you

Lololol! !!!!!

I don’t watch Days but I did see a few weeks of Kate’s Abigail back in the day, and she is a fantastic actor. I’m guessing the Lexi does not have the time to commit to a big storyline, and thus GH has chosen to recast if they are developing a more significant SL. I just wish that we had known when Lexi’s last airdate was back in April. I think Lexi will go far with whatever endeavors she is seeking, and Kate will fit right in at GH, with a hopeful significant role in PC.

why Kristina? did Lexi not able to commit? is the character going full time? I pray they didn’t fire Lexi, hope she couldn’t commit and that’s why the role was recast, because Lexi was wonderful, she grew up on Gh and she’s a great Kristina and won an Emmy .I don’t like this. really sad no diss against Kate, never really seen her on days but I’ve heard good things about her, just wish she wasn’t taking over for Lexi.

Nope Lexi posted on her Instagram that she had been looking forward to the pending storyline. Seems like it wasn’t her decision. Shame

So was Lexi fired?

Just when I become impressed GH is writing stories for the younger Davis daughters, they end up recasting one of them. I think Lexi could have handled the upcoming storyline and it sounded like she was looking forward to it. Which makes me think it wasn’t her choice to leave.
I love Kate and, although I don’t want GH bringing on new characters, I would have made an exception for Kate. I’d rather Kate portray someone new than portray Christina. It must be awkward for Kate on set right now. Both ladies deserve better.

Lexi, good luck! Kate, welcome to the GH family. I love this move. Kate is an excellent actor and I hope they expand on her character and make her more equal to Michael and Dante. Give her front burner stories. Put her in the business and let her work along side her dad. Michael and Dante never wanted anything to do with Sonny’s mob dealings. Let Kristina strong arm some of these heavies around town and make them wish they never met her. Love life? Maybe she is written again to be heterosexual? I dont care, whatever. Maybe bisexual. Who cares, let this talented actress act!

I’m so glad they are going with Kate i watched her on Days she is an amazing actress. This is going to be great, she is going to take Dex from Joss can’t wait to see her work

More likely that Kristina and Dex are related than a romantic pairing with this recast. (Is he Courtney’s son – making him Krissy’s cousin?)

Mansi is 15 years older than McCoy. They’ve kind of put Dex in the younger zone. While Ainsworth could straddle that line, Mansi can’t.

Loved Lexi playing Kristina, but excited to see Kate Mansi take over her role. Should be a great storyline and hope they pair Kristina with Chase.

Things are getting complicated over there. I like Kate but not sure how she’s gonna fit as Lexi but I guess we’ll see as she’ll be carrying Molly’s baby I hear. Even more complicated is Haley in rehab for her DUI. Is Kate still married in real life? Her husband has disappeared from her IG account. (Kinda sounding like a soap opera )

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Has a Stalker: Is it Simon, Quinn, or Someone From Her Past?

Published

on

By

Trina

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) looks to be the next soap opera character to fall under the “woman being stalked or the center of someone’s obsession,” soap trope, when in the closing moments of the Wednesday, July 22 episode of General Hospital, a bulletin board was revealed covered with various photos of the budding young singer who just landed her first record label deal.

Now that GH has launched this summer mystery, the soap opera gave us two potential culprits right off the bat, although they could be major red herrings, and someone else currently on the canvas, who would be the least likely person, could be the obsessed stalker. Or, could it be a blast from the past (think the ‘late’ Esme Prince) and someone who has an ax to grind with Trina?

Here’s what went down: Simon (Grady Eldridge) revealed to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina, that the record label wants Gio and Trina to sign separate artist deals, which surprised all three. Brook Lynn talks it over with her clients, and Gio is firm. He only wants to do the deal if he and Trina come as a package. After Simon learned of their decision, we later see him on a call. On the call he says although they had signed Trina and Gio, Trina was “the one to watch.”

QUINN SHOWS UP OUT OF NOWHERE WITH APOLOGIES FOR KAI AND TRINA

Meanwhile, Trina’s boyfriend Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) ran into former friend and football teammate Quinn (Jequan Jackson in his return to GH). The last time viewers saw Quinn was back in February of 2025, when after Kai’s injury that ended his football career, Quinn blamed this all on Trina for splitting Kai’s focus between football and her, when he needed to be concentrating on his career aspirations.

As Kai is waiting for Trina (following her meeting with music executive, Simon), Quinn shows up and apologizes to Kai for speaking to Trina so badly in the wake of his accident. Quinn hopes their friendship can be repaired. Suddenly, Trina arrives and is shocked to see Quinn. He promptly apologizes to her for his past mistake and hopes they could all hang out sometime.

When Quinn makes his exit, Trina informs Kai about what happened during the record label meeting and the two kiss as the camera pana to Quinn sitting in the corner table glowering at Trina and Kai. From there, we get the full on bulletin board with cut-out pics in  a Trina collage, and the camera comes in close, and then we fade to black.

So, what do you think is going on here? Who is the obsessed stalker, or who is wanting payback on Trina? Do you think Simon or Quinn are true suspects? Could it be a very much alive Esme Prince, or someone else entirely? Weigh-in with your picks via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Tristan and Britt Continue to Have Snarky Runs-Ins: Do You Feel an On-Screen Spark?

Published

Tristan, Britt

On the Tuesday, July 21 episode of General Hospital, the new cardiac surgeon in town, Dr. Tristan Rogers, played by recent cast addition Dean Geyer, once again had a confrontation with Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). This time while at the hospital.

In the scenes, Britt arrived to have a meeting to hopefully get her job back. However, she was not happy to learn from her new pal, Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) that Tristan is the new surgeon on staff at GH!

Britt informs Lucas she is on the edge because she has to meet with Stella (Vernee Watson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) to see if they would reinstate her. Lucas warns her to try to be humble. Immediately after that, Tristan sees Britt. He informs her that her room at Bobbie’s is available again as he is moving out and to the Metro Court which is more to his liking and style.

BRITT GETS REINSTATED WITH CONDITIONS

The two throw barbs at each other when Britt finds out how Carly supposedly helped Tristan to get the room at the hotel. Lucas pulled Tristan away for a patient consult to ease the snark between the two doctors.

In the meeting, Stella and Elizabeth decide to give Britt an opportunity to explain her actions. Britt then has to apology for locking Elizabeth in the closet so she could flee the country with Rocco. Stella and Elizabeth also note how she faked her own death and the list of bad behavior and choices she has exhibited in the past year alone.

When Elizabeth and Stella ask, why they should rehire her? Britt says because she is an excellent doctor, which Elizabeth agrees with and gives Britt props for saving the life and bringing baby Phoebe into the world when Delilah died.

Ultimately, Britt is hired back with a six-month probationary period with a laundry list of additional responsibilities such as weekend shifts, working with the children, and more.

Meanwhile, Lucas invites Tristan to join the GH softball team to get to know people and they have a game tonight. Just then, Elizabeth came up with the idea that one of Britt’s additional duties was to be the new equipment manager for the team.  In that moment, Tristan and Britt realize they have to see more of each other, when they already can’t stand each other (or so they say).

So, do you think that Tristan and Britt will soon be a new couple, especially after Jason sees Britt this week after his return from captivity? While Britt may hope things can pick right back up with Jason, will she be in for a devastating letdown, clearing the path down the line for a romance with Tristan? Do you think there are on-screen sparks already between Britt and Tristan, or do you feel like its completely feeling forced? Let us know via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kayden Brenna Tokarski Makes Her Debut; Is Scout Working with Drew To Bring Down Willow?

KAYDEN BRENNA TOKARSKI

On the Monday, July 20th episode of General Hospital, 16-year-old, Kayden Brenna Tokarski made her debut as the new Scout Cain; the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco).

In Kayden’s first scenes she appeared with Katelyn MacMullen (Willow Cain), Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine) and Daytime Emmy nominee, Amanda Setton (Brook Lynn Quartermaine).

When Tokarski entered the GH canvas on-screen, here’s what went down: Willow and Scout showed up at the Quartermaine stables. After Willow exits, Scout tells Tracy she was hoping she would allow her to use the lake on the property for a swim practice.

SCOUT WANTS TRACY TO ALLOW DREW ON THE QUARTERMAINE BOATHOUSE PROPERTY

Suddenly, Brook Lynn enters and with a wink-wink to the audience as she notes how grownup Scout looks! Now, Scout begins to  explain to BLQ and Tracy that she has been training for a charity swim and plans to donate the money she raises for breast cancer research in honor of Monica.

Tracy being Tracy know something is up and asks Scout point blank, “What’s the catch?” Scout pipes up that there is one catch: She wants Tracy to let Drew watch her swim. Tracy agrees to allow Drew onto Quartermaine property for Scout. When Scout exits, Tracy makes a remark to Brook Lynn that Scout is definitely acting like a Quartermaine.

But do you think there is more to this? Is Scout onto or in on the fact that Drew will soon be seen able to speak and move? Could Scout be on to Willow’s machinations and be the one who actually trips her up and Willow’s house of cards finally comes tumbling down around her? Stay tuned.

THE AGED-UP SCOUT

On her GH debut, Kayden Brenna Tokarski spoke to Soap Opera Digest on what concerns the GH faithful might have or the older version of Scout. “I know that this age-up and recast was shocking to many. I think many people are concerned that she’s going to be very bratty, but I think just the opposite. I think she’s a lovely teenager who’s navigating a lot of things in life, but she’s a problem-solver and always trying to keep the peace and help others,” shared Kayden.

The young actress also added, “I truly hope that people enjoy watching Scout’s storyline and seeing some new relationships in her life that are a little more grown-up.”

So this begs the question: Do you think the new version of Scout Cain will be scheming like a Quartermaine with the adventuress traits of her mother Sam, and the often unscrupulousness of her dad, Drew? Do you think she will be helping Drew destroy Willow? Let us know your thoughts and send your welcomes to Kayden via the comment section below.
