GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dante and Charlotte Visit Comatose Lulu: Isn’t it Time to Wake Her Up Already?
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
‘General Hospital’ SORAS’s Scout Cain and Casts Kayden Brenna Tokarski in the Role of Drew and Sam’s Daughter
In General Hospital casting news, none other than Scout Cain just grew up right before our eyes! In a case of SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) the daughter of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and the late Sam McCall (formerly played by Kelly Monaco) has been recast.
According to Soap Opera Digest, Kayden Brenna Tokarski takes over the role from Cosette Abinante who has played Scout since 2022. If you caught yesterday’s GH 16,000 episode on set cast celebration video, you may have witnessed Kayden at the festivities. The young actress will make her debut in July since GH tapes about six weeks ahead of air.
Taking to her Instagram on Tuesday, June 2, Kayden confirmed her casting by posting: “A DREAM COME TRUE. So honored to be joining the General Hospital family!! Biggest thanks to Mark Teschner (casting director, GH) and Frank Valentini (EP, GH) for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to work on this iconic show.”

The decision to make a sharp turn with the age of the character was for upcoming story purposes, and to open up Scout for more teenaged and young adult storylines; especially since Drew Cain is eventually going to come out of his locked-in state and perhaps Scout can go at war with Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) for what she did to her father? Stay tuned.
SCOUT CAIN READY FOR TEENAGE ROMANCE?
As General Hospital viewers know, Scout was born in 2017, which makes her about 9 before the SORAS occurred. Some rumors are circulating that a more teenaged Scout could become a love interest fo Finn Carr’s Rocco Falonceri? Previously, the two characters bonded over Sam’s death, since at the time Rocco’s father, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) was engaged to Sam, and the two, along with Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), tried to stick together as “brothers and sister,” after her mom passed. But will that relationship dynamic change?
Tokarski who is 16, has an impressive acting resume which includes: Gaslit on Starz. Lifetime’s My Professor’s Deadly Secret, where she played Lauren the on-screen daughter of Passions and Y&R alum James Hyde (ex-Sam and ex-Jeremy Stark, respectively) character of John, and another Lifetime thriller, Killer in the Woods.
More recently, Kayden completed production on the indie thriller Quads & the Kicker, and can be seen in the upcoming Curse of Vandor starring Dee Wallace (ex-Pat Spencer, GH). The actress has also appeared in numerous national ad and branding campaigns including being featured opposite Joey Fantone in a Red Lobster commercial and voicing the part of “Wednesday Addams” in a Wendy’s commercial as a tie-in to the Netflix series Wednesday.
So, what do you think of General Hospital casting Kayden Brenna Tokarski as the new Scout Cain? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
Monday, June 1, ABC’s General Hospital celebrated yet another milestone in their iconic history with the taping of their 16,000 which will air on July 13th. To mark the occasion the cast and crew took some time out to acknowledge the big day.
General Hospital’s Instagram and social accounts posted a video of the cast cavorting on the set where it was revealed that longtime favorites, Steve Burton and Finola Hughes are back in action and taping all-new episodes of the series in their signature roles of Jason Morgan and Anna Devane.
Today marked Steve Burton’s actual return date, while according to Soap Opera Digest, Finola Hughes has already been back for some time. As GH fans know, Steve went on an extended hiatus from the show in February, his last episode till now aired on March 25, but the two-time Daytime Emmy promised to be back in June and here he is.
THE WHEREABOUTS OF JASON AND ANNA
In story, Jason took the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) who was attempting to kill Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). Now that Cullum has figured out Rocco is the one who shot him, Rocco fled Port Charles along with Britt and they remain MIA. Might they find Jason, while they are on the run?
As for Anna Devane, the character was last seen on-screen in February. Hughes was written out after Anna was kidnapped and given hallucinogens by Sidwell (Carlo Rota), Cullum and company believing that her nemesis Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) was alive. Eventually, a gaslighted Anna wound up at a mental health facility in France, tried to break free, and was captured again and put back in the facility.
Recently, Congresswoman Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) helped ensure that the French authorities would drop any legal charges against Anna potentially paving the way for Anna’s return to Port Charles? We shall see!
Below you can check out the special video marking General Hospital’s 16,000 episode with the accompanying words, “There’s nothing like celebrating a milestone with family, friends, and cake to cure a case of the Mondays. 63 years and 16,000 episodes later, we’re still going strong thanks to all of you! Thank you so much for watching.”

Today on June 1, General Hospital marked another milestone with the taping of their 16,000 episode. And along with that, came some very intriguing casting news when actor Dean Geyer was spotted in the social media video that made the rounds of the cast celebrating on set.
As it turns out, and according to TV Insider, Geyer has joined the cast of the ABC soap opera in the contract of role of … wait for it, Tristan Roberts. If you think it’s a nod to the late great Tristan Rogers who passed away on August 2025 and who played Robert Scorpio for decades you would be correct!
Tristan Rogers hailed from Australia, and Dean is also from Australia by way of South Africa. Geyer moved down under at 15. So, yes, “Tristan Roberts” will indeed have an authenticate Aussie accent.
GLEE AND NEIGHBOURS ALUM
GH isn’t the first soap Geyer has appeared on having played the role of struggling musician Ty Harper on the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours from 2008-2029
Dean may look very familiar to primetime fans having appeared in some major television shows including: Terra Nova as Mark Reynolds, Glee as Brody Weston, Zoey 1o2 as Todd, plus 9-1-1 as Zane Williams.
The talented Geyer is also a singer/songwriter having appeared on season 4 of Australian Idol, where he came in third. In 2007, Dean released his album titled Rush.
Look for the 16,000 episode to air on July 13 since General Hospital tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
You can check out the music video for Geyer’s track, “If You Don’t Mean It” released in 2007 below.
As well, look below for the video that surfaced today where General Hospital shared on their latest milestone, “There’s nothing like celebrating a milestone with friends, family, and cake to cure a case of the Mondays. 63 years and 16,000 episodes later, we’re still going strong thanks to all of you! 🎂 Thank you so much for watching.”
