Intriguing news for GH fans! Emma Samms will be reprising her role as Holly Sutton.

The longtime fan favorite who recently returned to play out her original come back storyline, and wrapped her on-screen appearances back at the end of November of 2022, is set for an April return.

According to Soap Opera Digest, look for Emma back on-screen on April 14th.

There is no word yet at this time on just how long Samms will be taping all-new episodes of the ABC daytime drama series.

When viewers last saw Holly, she was being smuggled out of Port Charles with the help of Robert (Tristan Rogers) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner), so she could get out from behind the clutches of Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) and go find her son, Ethan.

As previously reported, Emma has been suffering from Long Covid, and so her last visit to the states from the UK, where she resides, was only for a short window.

Emma first appeared on General Hospital back in the summer of July 1982. She stayed with the show till 1985, returned again in 1992-93, then has made appearances in 2006, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2015, very briefly in 2020, and as previously mentioned in 2022.

Looking forward to having Emma back on the GH canvas? Will Holly’s return play into the downfall of Victor Cassadine? Would you like to see Holly and Robert romantically involved again? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

This may be too much for a Devil to hope for, but perhaps this is all leading up to the revelation of the fact that Luke Spencer is not “dead”. Which would be a perfect thing to integrate into the 60th anniversary.

Even better if Jason Morgan is in the same location.

Wow, I’d love to hear that both Luke and Jason are alive. I don’t miss Tony and he has retired but I really miss Burton.

I would like to know that too

I don’t miss Jason at all but I miss Luke, the old Luke, and not that embittered ass whose swan song was more evocative of a tattered old black swan. Make Luke Great Again and let him rid viewers of the bitter aftertaste he left us with . Let him finish his relationship with Laura by letting us know what was in his letter to her. Then he may go but he’s got to fix this.

Preach! 🙂

Harry,
Oh, I agree. I could care less about Jason, at least he escaped Carly and now poor Drew is saddled with her. I know a lot of people do not like him but I think he’s a good guy, trying to do right by everyone, including Carly. I would like to see Luke come back and reunite with Bobbie, and everyone that loves him, but before Victor is taken down, so he can see that ALL his plans failed, especially getting rid of Luke , than they can haul him off, kill him I don’t care, such a horrible person!

As a Luke fan/Tony Geary I agree it would be perfect. I would watch for sure.

Satan
And Tracy to welcome them both!

We already know Tracy will be back for the 60th anniversary, so that’s a very real possibility.

We all want Luke back alive but this april 14 is after the 60 th anniversary and the nurses ball?!

Not all of us want Luke back. If that’s where it’s headed, let it be a merciful short visit.

OG Steve,
I agree, but I do want that horrible Victor dealt with, and maybe that’s how they mean to wrap this up by having Luke return even if it’s just short term.

Not a major surprise since she already listed at the end of the contract section of the cast credits on Friday’s episode.

Still great to have her (and Jane Elliott) back

Love Emma Samms and I’m so glad she is returning as Holly. I can’t wait to see the Robert/Holly scenes!

Me too, Renee. I am happy Holly is coming back and she can circumvent any possibility that Robert and Diane can become a thing. Holly and Robert are classically and timelessly romantic.

I love Robert and Holly. They’ve still got tremendous chemistry. Diane is cute and spunky, but she doesn’t have the heart and soul that Holly still has with Robert.
Too bad Emma lives so far away. She should have made that kiss with Robert her last appearance on the show. She’s already been killed off at least three times.
Disappearing in the mist was so romantic.

Holly back in time for the big 60th and the Nurses Ball! Perfect. In time to help take down Victor. I hope they get Nathan Parsons on as Ethan and we FINALLY learn that he’s actually Robert’s son. If Mac gets a son, Robert should also. It’s only fair. LOL

It’s probably too late to change Ethan’s paternity. We’ve gone through too many paternity storylines recently. And if Parsons does return, it’s likely only for an episode or two.

He might not have anything better to do at the moment. He had a steady string of prime time gigs for a while, but those were all on the CW network, which basically no longer exists after this current season. One of the many casualties of the Warner/Discovery carnage fests… they cancelled most of their programs and sold it off to the right wing NexStar corporation.

LisaGemini,
It seems to me she’s already taken him down, much to his dismay. I hope Holly takes the credit.

Well, she’s taken part of him “down” at least.

Is this a first for daytime… defeating a villain with a “limp noodle”?

And he’s giving all the credit to Laura. Can you imagine Nosy Nina finding this out, would she tell Ava first?

Ugh ..why ?

I do hope it’s for a longer stay. Maybe a triangle with Robert, Diane and Holly? And I do hope Ethan is in tow. I heard he and Kristina may be heading for a storyline. That would be nice.

Unless Emma has recovered from long Covid, I doubt she’s around for more than a month or two.

Don’t think it’s going to happen, but 12 years after they first tried, Ethan and Kristina could finally work.

Absolutely excited to see Emma returning to GH , it’s about time that we finally see how Emma deals with Victor , it’s time to conclude the story line with Victor and to move on . In honesty can’t wait to see how the righters will put Holly and Robert together finally, they deserve to be together . As in showbiz they are the perfect couple

Robert and Holly forever. Robert and Diane do not make any type of a couple. They need to get RnH back together. The fans would love it. They will never be happy with anyone else. RnH

I would. Love to see holly and Robert involved. And it would be fanastic if Luke and Jason came back. It would be shocking for all the fans. We would be so. Happy.

Yes I most certainly would love to see Holly and Robert back together again they are Awesome together.

Josh Swickard

While General Hospital’s Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has seemingly come to an end based on trust issues, and his unrelenting believe of the innocence of his ex-wife Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) when she has committed heinous crimes, Josh Swickard is also being featured in another story on another platform in the new faith-based movie, The Space Between Us.

In the streaming feature now on the Angel platform, Swickard is playing Levi Boone, a handsome young solider, who finds himself attracted to a married woman played by Jennifer Taylor. The two have an affair. The movie made it’s debut last week on October 8.

According to the loglines, “The Space Between Us dives deep into modern relationships, following marriages straining under the heavy weight of busyness, unmet expectations, and spiritual disconnection. Described as a story of grace in the mess, the film takes a grounded, deeply relatable look at how even the best intentions can fall apart—and how faith, strong community, and honest vulnerability can bring true healing.”

In a cast interview, which features Swickard, Taylor and Kristoffer Poloha, the trio discussed their thoughts on betrayal in marriage, and who’s right and who’s wrong and more.

Josh Swickard explains, “The audience can get it from a lot of sides too where we can show it, and if you have crossed that line in your marriage. it doesn’t have to be over. And when two people are willing to work, anything’s possible. Not giving the end away. I’m just saying. It could happen. It could happen. People can end up together.”

Meanwhile, Kristoffer Poloha added, “Like, wait a minute, but this other guy steps in and I think passion takes over. I think what you see is how easy it is to stumble. Whether it’s adultery or whether it’s another type of sin, you can basically burn your house down in many different ways and how quickly it is to light that fire.”

The Space Between Us is from Canyon Productions. The company delivers faiith-based media designed to encourage, inspire, and uplift viewers along their spiritual journeys. By showcasing the genuine struggles and eventual triumphs of relatable characters facing tough real-world challenges, Canyon aims to create projects that point audiences directly toward hope and perseverance.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Published

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!
