GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dante and Charlotte Visit Comatose Lulu: Isn’t it Time to Wake Her Up Already?

Courtesy/ABC

The Friday July 28th episode and recap of General Hospital featured Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu’s daughter, Charlotte (Scarlett Fernandez), visiting her mom while she still remains in a coma.  However. Lulu has been moved back from a long term care facility to Port Charles.

In story, Dante takes Charlotte to visit Lulu at General Hospital.  An emotional Dante and Lulu sit with Lulu and fill her in on the latest happenings, but, of course, Lulu is unresponsive and hooked up to machines to breath for her.

Later, Dante gives Charlotte a minute alone with her mom, and that’s when Charlotte breaks down in tears telling Lulu how much she really misses her and needs her.  She goes on to say that both Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Laura (Genie Francis) take her out to do things, but it’s just not the same and that Lulu needs to wake up (YES! She does!).

Charlotte tells Dante in the hallway that she wants her mom to come home … to their old home. She says she looked into the house the other day and everything was covered in sheets. In her mind, she believes Lulu would want someone living there.

It would seem to be a good sign that Lulu was part of the story on the episode, and that she is now in care at GH.  The question becomes, is the ABC daytime drama series, ready to wake the character up, so it would cause conflict for Sam and Dante’s romance?

If Lulu comes out of her coma, who do you hope plays the part? Emme Rylan, Julie Berman or a new actress? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

First of all, it’s great to see the real Charlotte back. The recast was absolutely horrible, and I hate to say that about child actors, but there’s a reason she pretty much vanished after two or three episodes.

This is the first time we even were allowed to see the place where comatose Lulu is currently residing, so that to me is a sign that yes, she is about to wake up. Now having said that, I can’t imagine she will actually open her eyes until her mother Laura is back from “summer vacation”.

Seeing a return of the original Lulu, Julie Berman would be a Devil’s preference. If it’s Emme Rylan I’m OK with it. After the most recent run of recasts at GH, I’d really hope there’s not a Lulu 3.0

In either case, should there ever be a wedding for Sam & Dante, it’s going to be “crashed” by either Lulu or Jason. Or maybe both. You can bet your soul on that!

Please not Jason! Not a fan of that character at all! I liked Billy Miller in the role but not Steve Burton. I actually don’t mind him as Harris on Days but still seems a bit one note to me.

Steve Burton is the only “real” Jason!

You are entitled to your opinion. However, I do not like Steve Burton as Jason and never have.

Yes. Bring back Steve Burton as Jason. I have always wanted a guy friend like Jason. Much love.

Please.
Brains Jason back to general hospitals.
And Lulu 2.
A Nathan.
Nathan and maxi back together.

I need Jason back and no one can play lulu but lulu

I’m not a Lulu fan, maybe someone new would picque my interest. I’m not a fan of Sam and Dante either so I’m ready for a new scenario. You know Charlotte will pull her mom and Dante together. Wonder why Nina has ” dumped” Charlotte. She was her biggest champion when Nina was with “Papa”.
.

Just please get rid of Nina. Nina cannot act, she is unattractive, she is nosey, will not take responsibility of her wrongs, which are many, she feels she should get what she wants, and she is a big time LIER. She does not deserve to have a relationship with Willow or her grandchildren. Nina deserves to be driven out of Port Charles forever. Off of the show of General Hospital.

Emme or a new actress for me. I like Julie Berman but not as Lulu. Her friendship with Maxie didn’t feel as authentic and I could not have bought her Lulu as a mother.

Agree 100%

Let it be the original so that Emme Rylan can come back to the y n r where she can take over as Abby!!;
Current Abby just needs to go. Period. Nice girl but was never Abby. A Abbott or Newman cousin maybe but not Victor and Ashley s daughter.

Julie Berman

Dante and Lulu belong together and those skids need their Mom

Julie played a badass Lulu, which I really liked. I didn’t like the reinterpretation of Lulu when Emme played her.

Emme Rylan

I agree!

Julie Berman would be ideal or Emme Rylan. At least it wouldn’t be yet another new recast as there are several most recently. Otherwise keep the character in a coma.

So great to see the original Charlotte.
Let’s keep it this way, GH!

What do we think of charlotte and Jake? What a surprise. I got scared when Jake stayed back, after everyone left for the game. With Esme there, I was afraid he had eyes for her.

Honestly, I am just happy that Scarlett Fernandez has returned. I hope Charlotte is featured more.

She has always brought good fun in her scenes and will always be the best Charlotte. A Bree Williamson return would be great too but recall her character was killed off camera (?)

Emme needs 2 play her there’s been way 2 many recasts already, let’s bring back a familiar face. Sam & Dante DNT seem good 2gether anyways & technically Dante is still married 2 lulu sooooooo, come on writers let’s do this, have lulu come back have Gladys & Nina in prison &. Sonny & Carly back 2gether, keep drew way away.

Hallelujah to ALL of this!!!

I think that Lulu& Dante got a divorce.

I agree to all this.

Would love to see Julie Berman back!

I want Emme back, I loved her.

Welcome back OG Charlotte!

The scene was a setup for Maxie to move into Lulu’s house. That way, they get to reuse the set. Speaking of reused sets, the Chechnya House was Carly’s old home with recognizable center stairs.

As for Lulu returning, there has to be a long term story arc as the character wasn’t really driving story the last few years she was on.

Julie Berman would be outstanding or someone new. As nice as Emme is, her portrayal of Lulu wasn’t very dynamic.

I’m so happy to see Scarlett Fernandez back as Charlotte. I would love to see Lulu back. Julie Berman would be ideal, but I highly doubt she would return because I think she’s moved on, so then Emme Rylan should come back. I agree with the other posts. We’ve already seen recasts of Molly and Kristina, so we don’t need a third Lulu. Emme Rylan was fired and upset about it, so it’s very possible that she would be willing to come back.

Emme Rylan

Would love to see her wake up and Emme Rylan playing the part of Lulu.

I want Julie Berman, the original Lulu to come back, she is the best. Not crazy about Emme Ryan playing the part, never have been.

New actress,loved the first one but not the second. They mention one from all my children would be perfect. New blood

Who’s the one from All My Children?

Emme Rylan, please!

I would LOVE to see Emme back as Lulu! No offense to Julie, but I wasn’t watching when she was on, so Emme IS Lulu to me. And I miss her.

If Julie Berman can’t come back, I would love to see Stephanie Gatschet return to daytime and take over as Lulu. I never liked Emme Rylan in the role, she was much better as Abby on Y&R.

Either one, but please not another new one.

Bring back Julie Berman, both her and Dominik Zamprogna had such chemistry together. Julie played Lulu Spencer so well. She was bad ass, like a true Spencer would be.

I can hear Charlotte with all her arguments to Dante etc, why they need to reopen the house so it will be ready for LuLu when she wakes up, knowing her family is there waiting for her, etc,etc.Dante and LuLu were divorced and she had just accepted that school teacher’s ring when he got blown up. This is really going to mess with Dante and Sam’s relationship.

Is Charlotte here to stay? What is the mystery surrounding Martin and Valentin? Good or bad? Is Valentin responsible for burning Anna’s house? Why?
Aside—Ned said, “Gumpa”—Writers: there is no such word in the Italian vocabulary. This is an Americanized dialect word which is very offensive. Cut it out!! The correct word is, “compare” or “padrino “ which both mean, “Godfather”…

I want lulu to wake up. I want Sam far away from Dante. Hopefully when lulu wakes up he will realize like lulu did that he is still in love with lulu. Of course he will fight it but in the end I hope lante get back together. Also I would really love with everything going on with Valentin that something reveals that Dante is Charlotte biological dad with Lulu. It wouldn’t change Valentin/Charlotte love for each other but would give Lante 2 biological children together. Plus give the Valentin actor a great storyline

How nice for Maxi and her two kids to live in Lulu’s house. What did they do with baby, give her away?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nikolas Gets an Earful from Ava About Sonny and His Meds; Nina and Drew Can’t Seem to Resist Each Other

Ava (Maura West) seems to feel she has a confidante in a jailed Nikolas (Adam Huss) on the Monday, April 29th episode of General Hospital. In story, Ava heads to Pentonville to visit her ex-husband before he is set to get transferred out of state.

When discussing her living relationship with Sonny (Maurice Benard), which Nikolas already knew about, Ava says she is happy about how her relationship with Sonny has been evolving, Nikolas ask if she’s in love with Sonny. Ava denies it, but goes on to say how great it is for her daughter, Avery to be living with both her parents, who are on the same side and not at odds.

Nikolas believes that Ava loves being in Sonny’s inner sanctum and the power that comes with it. Ava fires back that she spent years looking in from the outside and that everyone despised her. When Nikolas brings up Nina (Cynthia Watros), she says Nina never really could understand the true type of man that Sonny is.

Then, Ava launches in on Carly (Laura Wright), and how she would love to stick it to her, for all the times she blocked Ava from seeing her child and Carly’s attitude towards her. Then, Ava admits to Nikolas that she knows that Sonny has a watered-down version of his bipolar medication, which is making him more vulnerable and she’s capitalizing on it for her own gain. She says she needs to figure out who is responsible, but Nikolas voices concern for Ava’s plan and that if Sonny ever found out she knew about it and did nothing, he would be on the warpath against her. Ava promises she knows what she’s doing. When she says goodbye to Nikolas, he looks upset and sad, as he still seemingly cares for Ava.

Meanwhile in Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) office, Nina walks in complaining about Carly giving her a hard time about maintenance in her office. Nina wants payback for Jason (Steve Burton) buying Carly the hotel, but Drew is not up for playing games with her.  She says they both want revenge on Jason and Carly, which Drew denies. Next thing you know, Nina grabs Drew and kisses him. Although, it seems he might walk out the door and away from her, he locks it, and the two proceed to have round 2 of their hate-sex.

Elsewhere, Anna tells Jason about her shooting Charlotte and her concern about Valentin’s (James Patrick Stuart) involvement with Pikeman. Meanwhile, Valentin visits Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure) in Pentonville, where threats are laid out to make Sonny look like the guilty party in eliminating Jason, while Anna is the line of fire, if she doesn’t keep her nose out of Pikeman business, which worries Valentin, who doesn’t want Anna getting hurt in any of this.

So, what do you think about Ava’s plans? Did you like seeing Nikolas back on the canvas? Are you all for a Drew/Nina continued affair? Will Anna get caught in the crossfire only to be saved by Valentin? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.

Haley Pullos Receives 90-Day Jail Sentence Following DUI Charge And Wrong-Way Car Crash

Former General Hospital actress, Haley Pullos (ex-Molly Lansing-Davis) is going to be doing time in jail, exactly one-year after her arrest from a hit and run wrong-way car collision.

The crash resulted in bodily harm and damages to the other driver, and now Pullos who pleaded “no contest” to the charges and will serve 90 days in jail. She was taken in custody on Monday, April 29th, after the ruling.

According to Haley’s attorney, Mark Daniel Melnick, the 25-year-old actress struck a plea deal and after her three months in jail will be sentenced on July 29th. As part of that sentencing, she must serve five years probation, 200 hours of community service and pay $8,260 in restitution to Courteney Wilder, the other driver in the crash and her driver’s license is revoked for a year.

According to TMZ, the plea deal for Pullos has the “no contest” to one DUI, while the judge dropped the felony DUI causing bodily injury and misdemeanor hit and run charges.

Melnick said in a statement to PEOPLE, “Haley is very grateful to the court for a minimum sentence and for recognizing her remorse and the strides she has made in her sobriety.”

Pullos had played the daughter of Alexis Davis (played by Nancy Lee Grahn) on the ABC soap opera since 2009, but after her car crash and DUI she was replaced by three different actresses until the show finally settled on the current Molly, Kristen Vaganos.

Back in April 29 of 2023, and at the scene of the crash, the police found edibles and mini-bottles of tequila in Pullos’ vehicle and that she was intoxicated. As it turned out, this was to be the second hit and run in the evening for Pullos who had an earlier collision with another car.

The courts decision follows a year-long legal battle with Haley’s pleas changing throughout it, ranging from “not guilty” to “no contest”. She sought treatment for her drinking at a rehab following the crash.

Nancy Lee Grahn, who portrayed Pullos’ on-screen mom took to X on Monday night, April 29th and shared on the sentence and the specific jail, Haley will be serving time: “As Haley’s TV mom I can tell some truths about her as I’ve loved her since she was little girl. She made a HUGE mistake, knows it, owns it & has spent the last yr doing EVERYTHING imaginable to take responsibility 4 it. It’s not that I oppose jail. It’s that I oppose this jail.” The jail in question by Grahn is the L.A. county jail.

So, what do you think about Haley Pullos serving a 90-days jail sentence, and the other rulings that will be part of her sentencing? Comment below.
