When Kristina Wagner debuted on General Hospital back in 1984, her character Felicia Cummings was brought on to the canvas as an aztec princess who falls madly in love with Frisco Jones (Jack Wagner).

Since 1984, Kristina has played the role of Felicia on and off since today in 2023.  However, back in 2021, Wagner was placed back on-contract much to the delight of GH viewers, who appreciate the veteran performers they grew up with, after being on recurring status for years.

Kristina looked back at her time as Felicia Scorpio and offered insights into her soap opera alter ego, in a new interview in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now.

When weighing-on on the best moments in Felicia’s life and the most challenging times, Wagner mentioned several storylines. For the best moments, Wagner expressed, “I loved all the phases of her life. But I think the best time would be today, because she’s more grounded and she can make the choice to pursue happiness.”  Kristina added, “She’s very content in her marriage to Mac (John J. York) and being present for Maxie (Kristen Storms) and her grandchildren.”

As for the emotionally difficult moments in Felicia’s life, Wagner pointed to, “Maxie’s heart transplant would be one, and the second would be Georgie’s death. Being a mother is one of the most important aspects of her life, and so the hardest times were when her children were struggling, and the worst time in her life would be when Georgie died. I know from personal experience what that is like (Having lost son Harrison in 2022). That is very critical and would change you, and make you into a different character, actually.”

I adore Kristina and Felicia. My favorite moments were any that she shared with the late great John Reilly as Sean Donely. One of my most HATED storylines in GH history, though was her amnesia story. Hated Phoebelicia!

Kristina is as beautiful today at 60 as she was the day she debuted on GH almost 40 years ago. I was so sorry for the unspeakable tragedy that she and Jack went through with the loss of their son. That’s an experience I can only imagine, and my heart goes out to anyone that has suffered through that.

I was happy when they put her back on contract a few years ago. Wish they would have a little more for Felicia to do, but they have a large cast, and I know it’s not easy to come up with regular screen time for everybody. The new job working at the hospital with Stella is definitely a step in the right direction. Love her scenes with Mac and Maxie with the grand kids.

I was thinking the same thing, Dan, as I clicked on the photo/article: she’s always been beautiful, but some people lose that as they get older, and she still looks gorgeous. (Ditto Genie Francis; not sure what they’re doing, but whatever it is, they’re doing it right.)

I’ve always liked Felicia and been glad when she’s on my screen, and I give KW full credit for that, because although sometimes they’ve given her really good material, much of the time, well, not so much–but whatever they give her, KW somehow rocks it.

Definitely time for Felicia to get a storyline of her own. Clever of the writers to have her be the one who eventually did in Heinrich and a key role in Ryan’s demise. Still think the original plan was for her to be Esme’s mom, which I’m glad they didn’t pursue.

Kristina is such a class act. She’s not only beautiful, smart & funny but a true talent. She was sorely missed from the show & so glad GH had the chance to make it right & put her back on contract. We need to see MORE of her talent on the screen. I know the 50th reunion with Jack Wagner was a “bust” for Frisco and Felicia fans, but would love to see Jack Wagner come back and make that storyline right for its fans. The romance between those two characters could never be duplicated. The romance between Mac and Felicia is just not the same. It lacks the passion & excitement.

Ava

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!

Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.

Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?

At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.

Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.

Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?

Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.

Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt  Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.

You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.

Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
