Finola Hughes Has Extended Her Time Away From General Hospital!

44
0ooh geez. hope she’s not messing with a facelift.. lol
I really have not noticed that she has left.
Anyways- it will be good to see her again when she gets back.
I know right. Some celebrities don’t know when to stop and they wind up looking like a mannequin.
I hadn’t even noticed, either. Too bad Sonny doesn’t take an extended leave (like ten years or so).
And take Carly with him!
Don’t tell me there is yet ANOTHER contract dispute! GIVE HER THE MONEY–LOL!
She is already signed long term.
Timmm, wish “signed long term” really meant something. You and I know that any actor can be let go by the suits–even with a longterm contract, so called.
I really haven’t watched, but would totally notice her not being on the show! She is my favorite.
It seems people just want to be away from GH. At least this way they can’t make Anna do things OOC
Too long to have a great actress off the canvas…hope she has a better storyline when she returns…maybe Carlos lookalike Joe will be attracted to Anna-that would be something!!!
and what if they did do the twin switch and he really is Carlos and only Anna suspects this?…will that psychiatrist guy-Andre?-think Anna is off her rocker-lol
Oh—PU-L-L-EEEZ! Let Carlos go–they took him too far. Let the new character remain “new.”
Good point, Jimh. That’s something TPTB would pull.
Jimh, from your words to the writer’s keyboards. Anna deserves so much better than what she’s been getting. A pairing of Finola and Jeffrey VP would be TOO great for words. But I’m gonna hope anyway.
Hi Nancy..
It’s not about Carlos or now Dr. Joe..
It is about the great extraordinary acting abilities of Jeffrey Vincent Parise that bring any character he plays to vivid life ..
I am looking forward to JVP’s Dr. Joe because Jeffrey will give it his best!
And— he doesn’t need a woman to hold him down!
((he is very good!)
It would be great if Anna is off finding out that Duke had actually staged his death (again) to save her. I love Anna and Duke. I won’t watch unless they bring Duke back. Such chemistry!!!!
As long as she IS coming back, then good for her.
I always wonder, though, why an actor takes an “extended time away.” Hope it’s not like Tyler’s time away.
Yeah, like I said earlier! Seems suspicious, indeed!
now that Nick Stabile has ended his run
GH / ABC whats the long and short of Tyler Christopher
I would like to know when he will be returning
Tyler said today that he will start taping in August and will be onscreen in Sept. He announced that at the GH weekend.
this Duke will be waiting… Anna… my dear…
this sucks, i miss seeing her on the air!
I know, aria, me too. I find myself smiling like a fool whenever I see Anna scheduled. We need her back.
I want her in a Charmed Reunion!
I’d stay away too, and await new writers
Please bring her back via a classic wsb tale. Why waste her rich double agent history by having her work as some thinly drawn special investigator.
All the more reason to get Robert Scorpio back to GH.
Genie Francis should be given front burner icon status in story while Finola is away.
Yes–please!
So far she’s no disappointing GH fans, and giving us her A game.
She had a lot of air time in the last few months. Perhaps she just wants a vacation, or perhaps she’s directing in or working/acting on another project. Off to England to see family? Whatever the reason…good for her! Looking forward to her return whenever that may be.
I bet Tristan wraps up that god awful character over at Y&R soon and Anna brings Robert back with her in the Fall.
What a treat that would be!
He has not done ONE thing on Y&R that is memorable!
Love to see him back at GH, and especially with Anna.
She is one of the few actors that always brings her A game even with poor writing, love her!! GH is getting better lately but still kind of predictable..I am seeing Elizabeth and Hayden becoming sisters..Seems Jeff Webber had fling with Hayden’s mom and Hayden was their baby and Heather has been blackmailing her for years or there was a baby switch and Liz is actually not a Webber..Hayden is!! Predictable and not original..I hope I am wrong and that the writers surprise the heck out of me!! Hopefully when Finola comes back, she will get a great storyline..No more… Read more »
Always “brings her game,” yes, even with meager material.
Anna needed the time off tbh. She was beginning to kiss Sonny’s behind.
When she comes back I hope she builds a friendship with Laura. It’s stupid that they aren’t friends!!!
Love Finola and looking forward to her return in due time.
Wouldn’t she and Genie be a power team?
I wonder if these times away from the show that many of the actors have been reported as having this year are due to financial more than personal concerns? FH is a huge asset to GH, a wonderful actress! She brings class and dignity to everything she does, so, of course, I’m anxious to see her back in PC.
Bring her back–like yesterday–:)
I’m hoping her leave has been extended so that she will finally be on Dancing with the Stars! She is an accomplished dancer and the timeline for her return seems to fit.
@Betty….Whilst I agree Finola would be an absolutely phenomenal addition to DWTS, it would seem that she would possess a beyond unfair competitive advantage over the other contestants. Not only does she have extensive dance experience, but she was a professional on both stage and screen for years, as her appearance in “Staying Alive” attests! I recently re-viewed that film and was amazed by Finola’s acting and dance performances (circa 1985) all over again!!! Let’s just say that unlike her many contemporaries on GH, the soap didn’t make her because she already was totally impressive in her own right, but… Read more »
I look forward to seeing her in the Fall. If I have my way, with good writing and a Duke return just around the corner. I doubt I’ll be watching much of GH while she’s gone but I do like some of the things the new writers are doing this year with the focus on the hospital and on vets like Anna, Laura and Tracy.
