Kin Shriner Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ TV Daughter Kelly Kruger

It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.
Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.
In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?
On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.
In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”
The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.” Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.
So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Would love to see Scotty back
To TPTB: Please bring Scott Baldwin home. He’s part of the fabric of GH and frequently involved in Lucy’s schemes. It’s only fitting that he return to accompany daughter Serena in Lucy’s latest undertaking. Scott’s been gone too long. Please bring back Kin Shriner.
Agreed. Bring back Scotty!
Kelly Kruger seems a bit stiff in her scenes. Needs to loosen up a bit. And the story line is so-so. Scheming Lucy again? Not sure where this will go and I surely hope the writers don’t pair her up with Jason or Michael.
Agreed. She is not a fit for either. The whole story line is ridiculous, how can a mother use her daughter like that? Are these novice writers?
They need to give Serena something else to do besides Deception. For a legacy character, it’s unfortunate that she has no friends in PC. Lulu was responsible for one of her retcon brother’s death, so that could be awkward. BLQ has the Deception conflict. Lucas already has his hands full with a lot friends. Maybe, Britt. Could be interesting since Scott & Liesl were a thing for a few minutes.
Kelly Kruger is quickly winning me over. The character of Serena is not well conceived so far, and in spite of that, Kruger is making her sympathetic, especially in scenes this week with Steve Burton. She is a really good actor. The comments about her appearance are gross. These are all gorgeous human beings risking everything to put themselves out there and they deserve better than nasty comments from petty, mean-spirited people hiding behind screens.
I assumed that Kin would return as Scott when they brought Serena back to the show. That only makes sense, so of course it hasn’t happened. Hopefully it does at some point. There is always room for Scotty Baldwin in Port Charles, he’s as iconic of a character as Tracy, Laura, Anna, Felicia, Lucy, Mac, and any of the others that have been around for so long.
Seems like they’re more concerned with adding a never ending parade of new characters than they are bringing back a fan favorite. I need a scorecard when I watch the show now to keep up with the names of all these new characters. Way too many in such a short period of time.
There are also the persistent social media rumors, although none ever confirmed, that Kin had some sort of behind the scenes falling out with Frank Valentini, which could also be a factor in this. But they remain rumors at this point.
True. Love the legacy characters. Interested in the Monet storyline. Not interested in a Trina stalking. Tired of Chase and Willow storyline, please blow that up already and get Chase back with Brooklyn, maybe have Violet come back and live with them. And stop the attack on Sunny now! And knock Joss down a bit, love the actress but they are killing her character.
i spoke with kin on Instagram this week he said it was his foot issues not conflict with the show that has kept him off.
I would take Kin’s comment to you with a grain of salt. I wish that was the case, but I’ve been following soaps since Kim started as Scotty. Cold departures from the show without mentions from other cast members indicate something else is going on.
This is Kin’s standard wise guy of saying he suffers from foot in mouth disease, and therefore, cannot comment. He really wants to come back to GH.
If they have room for Monet and Hudson and Tristan and on and on, they have money to pay Kin Shriner.
I am waiting for a scene where Monet isn’t carring her purse on her arm.
Agreed
Yes please bring Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) back to GH! He is a Legacy Character and an amazing actor.
Nope. Not liking the Serena addition. She is NOT a fit for Jason, so don’t go there. And bring back Jacinda. And, please end this ridiculous take down of Sunny!
Agree 100%. I speed through her scenes, Lucy’s too. Letting Jacinda go was a mistake. I loved her with Michael. Michael & Jordan-just NO. I am also very disappointed in ADA Turner’s severe change of heart toward Sonny. Can’t wait to see everyone in town finding out the truth-what Drew & Ava have done. I sure hope that happens, sooner than later. I hope Laura gets back soon. She’ll believe Sonny.
Jacinda was awesome and actually had chemistry with all her scene partners, so of course they wrote her off. ♀️
I can take Kin Shriner in very small doses because he overacts.
Why don’t we have Scotty back? He’s a legacy character we all love. Instead we got endless newbies no one cares about.
She is a great addition to the show love the character Serena give her more airtime and the actual story lines of her own without Lucy keep up the good work Kelly Kruger

‘General Hospital’ Favorite Amanda Setton Talks Brook Lynn and Chase’s Divorce, Jude Jacks, Baby Phoebe, and What’s Next (Exclusive)

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) life as she knows it has turned upside down. First, she and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed divorce papers while in the Dominican Republic. As much as they loved each other, they just couldn’t get past all the trust issues between them.
Then, right after that, Jude Jax (Wil Traval) shows up at the Q mansion and demands to see his daughter, baby Phoebe! Brook Lynn is thrown for a complete loop. Is this guy claiming to be the biological father of Delilah Wilson’s daughter, which had been adopted by Brook Lynn and Chase, telling the truth? Brook Lynn is on her way to getting to the bottom of his claims.
Meanwhile, Brook Lynn’s portrayer, Amanda Setton just celebrated her first-ever Daytime Emmy nomination, and in the very competitive Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. While Amanda ultimately did not take home the gold statuette, that honor went to The Young and the Restless’ longtime veteran, Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott), she was in great spirits when Michael Fairman TV caught up with her on the red carpet.

THE END OF THE LINE FOR BROOK LYNN AND CHASE
When asked how she felt about Brook Lynn being the first (between her and Chase) to put pen to paper on their divorce papers, Settton recalled, “She did. But I’m like, ‘Did she or did he kind of?’ They did it (both of them).”
Getting a new co-star and cast member can go one of two ways, great or not so great, but Amanda had nothing but high praise for Wil Traval’s entrance and performance as Jude Jacks!
THE ARRIVAL OF JUDE JAX
“Wil Traval is fabulous to work with. His debut was so amazing the other day, wasn’t it? He was just such a force and everybody’s faces and reactions when he says that he’s, ‘Jude Jacks, Jerry’s son.’ It was so good and well-played! Wil’s awesome. I’m excited for what’s to come. We’re going to have a lot of stuff together.”

According to Amanda, Brook Lynn will have her hands full in the months to come: “There’s a lot of stuff coming down the pike with Baby Phoebe. Will Chase and Brooklyn work together? Will they not? Is it really Jude’s daughter? Lots of questions!”
GRATITUDE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY HER PEERS
For Setton, being an Emmy nominee meant the world to her, and to finally be acknowledged by her peers in a television career that spanned daytime and primetime including her performances as Kimberly Andrews on One Life to Live. But most importantly for her work in 2025 in the emotional rollercoaster of a story where Brook Lynn learns Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is her biological son.
“It means so much to me,” expressed Amanda. “It really does. I keep using this line, but I really mean it. It feels like a big hug. You know, not everybody who votes for these categories works with you. It’s really a very humbling feeling to know that your work actually touched someone and moved someone enough for them to vote for you. And getting to play the storyline that I got to play was such a privilege. It really was, with the actors I got to play it with. To be a little rewarded for it feels so nice.”
You can check out our chat with Amanda Setton on the red carpet at the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards below. Then make sure to check out all the Michael Fairman Channel red carpet interviews from daytime’s biggest night here.
So, do you think Brook Lynn and Chase will unite to keep baby Phoebe away from Jude Jacks? What do you think of Wil Traval’s performances thus far as Jude?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Elizabeth Thinks of Dante While With Ric; Will She Leave Her Ex in the Dust?

Clearly, head nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) is trying to deny her feelings for Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) on General Hospital, when she is trying to make up for missed opportunities and dates with her former husband, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst).
On the Friday, November 6 episode, Elizabeth arrived at the Metro Court for her date with Ric. She made sure she thanked the legal eagle for taking care of her house on Halloween when she was called into work.
However, while telling Ric this, Elizabeth is struck by a flashback of her and Dante baking in her kitchen, where a very close encounter almost led Dante and Elizabeth to kiss. After shaking that image off in her head, she goes back to her date with Ric, who is being very sweet to her.

ELIZABETH HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT RIC
Their date gets interrupted when Lulu (Alexa Havins) shows up at their table asking Elizabeth to convince Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to drop the libel case against her.
Later, when Liz talked with Willow, and Willow shared she appreciated the head nurse looking out for her, she asks her friend if Ric is the kind of man she wants her life?
Willow is pointing out, as she had in her relationship with Drew (Cameron Mathison), does Ric really love Elizabeth … or is he using her to get what he wants? That comment puts more doubt in Elizabeth’s mind over reconnecting with Ric, and giving her more credence to follow her feelings for Dante.
So, where is this leading? Will Elizabeth cut things off with Ric? If so, will he snap? Is Ric using Elizabeth? And what about Dante? Are you enjoying the growing closeness between Elizabeth and Dante, or do you prefer Elizabeth with Ric? Let us know in the comment section, But first, check what went down on Ric and Elizabeth’s dinner date which lead to more questions than answers below.
