DAYS Alum Kate Mansi Cast as General Hospital’s New Kristina
General Hospital has recast the role of Sonny and Alexis’ daughter, Kristina, with Daytime Emmy-winner, Kate Mansi (ex-Abigail, Days of our Lives).
Mansi will take over the role on-screen beginning the week of May 22nd.
According to Soap Opera Digest, the actress is currently taping scenes and episodes at the GH studios.
Kristina’s previous portrayer, Daytime Emmy-winner, Lexi Ainsworth, who played the role on and off since 2009, last aired on April 27th.

As for Kate Mansi, she began her daytime run as Days Abigail Deveraux from 2011 and stayed with the show till 2016. She later returned to the part from 2018-2020. She was replaced by Marci Miller both times during her departures from the show.
Now the question becomes, with Kate Mansi in the role of Kristina, what will become of the character? Will we see a different side of her? Who might she become romantically linked with? Share your thoughts on this casting news via the comment section below.
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
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Britt and Rocco Say Their Goodbyes, Then She Gets Arrested; Anna Reveals “Nathan West” is an Imposter

On the Friday, June 26 episode of General Hospital, emotional moments, a new duo on the run, the end of the line for Britt and an eye-opening moment between Anna and Felicia were the order of the day. Let’s take a look at what went down, but first let’s give a round of applause for Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) and Finn Carr (Rocco) on their goodbye scenes.
In the story, Rocco insists to his parents, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu (Alexa Havins) that he wouldn’t leave Tortola without Britt. Dante is getting impatient because Britt brought all the trouble in recent months to his son. They need to protect him and they can’t if he stays with Britt. Lulu tells Britt she is the only one who can do the right thing, right now.
Britt explained it is too dangerous for Rocco to stay with her. She was very selfish and made a lot of terrible decisions along the way and Cullum is tracking her down because she did not finish the project he enlisted her for. She convinces Rocco to go with his parents and gives him a little token of something that reminded her of when he was a baby which is a bottle to blow bubbles with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Rocco makes Britt promise to take her medication to ward off her Huntington’s disease symptoms and to keep changing locations so she is not caught. The two share a final hug as both are in tears. Dante makes a call. While in the car ready to leave Britt behind, Rocco says he will never forgive himself is something happened to Britt.
Back inside, Britt is ready to inject herself with her medication but is unaware that Cullum has now tainted it with poison! But she is saved from that, when two police officers burst through the door to arrest her for kidnapping charges! Did Dante call the local police? Is he doing this to keep her safe or to pay her back?
In Port Charles, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) arrives at Crimson, completely unaware that the man in the elevator is following her. Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Charlotte have an argument about Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Suddenly, Willow calls her mother that she is being questioned by the PCPD, and Nina learns, it is as a suspect for being the other driver that left Jordan and Curtis injured by the side of the road on Route 91.
ARRIVALS AND DESTINATIONS IN QUESTION
Chase (Josh Swickard) comes to Willow’s rescue much to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) chagrin. Willow learns Lucy and Drew are the supposed witnesses against her. Chase figures out when Joe (Jonathan Bennett) was alone with Drew, he got him to blink in a way that implicated her. However, in a shocking moment, Justine reveals that the trip log from Willow’s BMW SUV placed her at the scene of the accident just second before it occurred.
Meanwhile, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) comes by Crimson to see Charlotte. He says he broke into the WSB office to get info to expose Cullum as a double agent. Charlotte blows a gasket! She can’t believe that he would do something so stupid that it could have gotten him killed. She firmly tells Danny that best thing he can do to help Jason is to stay out of things. Danny storms out, but notices the stranger in the elevator who now steps into the Crimson lobby.

The man tells Charlotte he is Agent Mark McKay with the WSB and he has orders to bring her in. When she resisted, he was about to chloroform her, when Danny knocked him out and took off with Charlotte.
ANNA PUTS HER TRUST IN FELICIA
In France, after having some private time with Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Anna (Finola Hughes) wants to talk to Felicia (Kristina Wagner). She tells her best friend she was trying to figure out what memories of her past with Faison, she could trust and not trust. Since Felicia knows her best she is hoping she can believe what she is about to tell her.
It is then that Anna says, “Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is not who he says he is.” Felicia looks dumb-founded. Will she believe her friend … or think she has drummed this all up in her mind? Stay tuned.
So, what did you think about the goodbye scenes featuring Finn Carr and Kelly Thiebaud? Did you reach for the hankies? Do you believe that soon, Cassius will be caught for his duplicity and the truth about Britt’s “illness” will come to light? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below. But first check out the scenes featuring Anna on her road to recovery in France

‘General Hospital’ Alum Chad Duell Drops First Single EDM/Dance Track ‘If You Need Me’

Last weekend, we shared the news that General Hospital alum and Daytime Emmy winner, Chad Duell (ex-Michael Corinthos) was releasing his first single today on June 26th and it has indeed dropped! And for those readers who guessed that Duell’s first track out of the gate was going to be an EDM/Dance/House track … you are correct, sir!
The song entitled, “If You Need Me” is perfect for the late night clubs and can be found on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! Duell is noted as the performing artist, but as the composer/ lyricist and the beatmaker of the track. For his music projects, Chad is going solely by the name of “Duelly” which has been his social media handle for years.
Taking to his Instagram on Friday, Duell explained his deep dive into making music, expressing, “I’ve wanted to make music for a long time… I just never did it. It always felt like this huge, overwhelming thing to learn. All the technical side of it, the programs, everything that goes into actually building a track… it was easy to keep pushing it off. A couple months ago I finally just decided to go for it.”

BIT BY BIT PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Chad added, “Since then I’ve been putting in a lot of time learning, experimenting, figuring things out, and slowly starting to find a sound I’m really proud of. This first release is more of a dance/EDM vibe, but I’ve also been working on a lot of different styles behind the scenes that I’m just as excited about. At some point I realized I could keep holding onto everything trying to make it perfect… or I could just start putting music out and grow as I go.”
Stepping out of his own way, Duell firmly says, “So that’s what I’m doing. My first track “If You Need Me” is out now. More coming soon… this is just the beginning.”
As GH viewers know, Chad made the decision to step away from General Hospital after a 15-year run with the series where his last episode aired in January of 2025. By May of last year, the role was recast with Rory Gibson debuting in the part.
Give a listen below to Duelly’s “If You Need Me,” and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Did You Think of the Return of Anna Devane, and What’s In the Letter?

Finola Hughes made her dramatic return on-screen on the Wednesday, June 24 episode of General Hospital. Viewers will see Finola as Anna Devane again on tomorrow’s June 26th episode.
In the story, while in the French mental health facility, Anna has a session with Dr. Laurent. She tell her she now knows she was never kidnapped and that Cesar Faison is dead.
As she continued with her ruse, she went on to say she understands she was enlisted back into the WSB on a secret mission, and through that she relived all the trauma she endured by Faison, which caused her to have a psychotic break. Anna promises Dr. Laurent that her treatment plan had helped her so much in figuring out what was real, and what was in her imagination.

ANNA’S GOT HER OWN PLAN TO ESCAPE
In a smart move (hopefully) Anna told Laurent if she could talk to someone else who had known Faison that it might aid in her recover. She was given the phone and she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), who agreed to fly to France in the morning. Dr. Laurent claims she is pleased with Anna’s progress, but that they still have a very long long way to go.
Now by herself, Anna pulled out a packet of letters from a bedside table. There is one in particular that she is fixated on. What does it contain? Is this all a part of her escape plan? Will she warn Felicia that “Nathan” is really Cassius (Ryan Paevey)? If so, will Felicia even believe her?
In a summer preview with Soap Opera Digest, GH co-head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten shared, “We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”
So, were you happy to see Anna Devane back on your screens? What do you think is in the particular letter she was staring at? Will Felicia help Anna escape or not believe a word she says? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, you can check out some of the scenes from Anna’s on-screen return below.
