GH’s Holly Set Ablaze; Show Reveals Stunt Double For Emma Samms From Major Cliffhanger

If you caught the end of Tuesday’s fiery episode of General Hospital, you know that Holly (Emma Samms) who was cornered by the PCPD, ended up on fire when the cabin she was in went up in flames!
In the cliffhanger, Holly was seen on fire coming out of the cabin. Of course, viewers knew that a stunt double would have to be called in to tape such a moment, and that is exactly what the ABC daytime drama series did.
On Wednesday, GH’s official Instagram released a photo of Samms and stunt performer Colby Lemmo stating: “We’re seeing double! 🔥 Let’s give stunt performer @colby_lemmo a hand for helping bring yesterday’s explosive finale to life. 👏👏👏 ”
Lemmo has performed stunts for major motion pictures and TV shows including: The Mandalorian, Westworld, Criminal Minds, 9-1-1. and many others.
Now the question becomes, what will happen to Holly? We know that Emma Samms only returned to GH for a limited-run to reprise her signature GH role.
Does this mean that Holly might be recast with a new face, if she is badly burned and disfigured … or is this just an exit strategy where the character gets sent away to heal from her burns … or was that not really Holly who came out of the cabin? Three possible theories that fans are pondering.
So, what did you think of the fiery conclusion of yesterday’s GH? What do you think will happen to Holly? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
I think it was all a setup so Victor will think Holly is dead, and she can skip town and reunite with Ethan. Victor’s henchman is watching from behind that tree to report to him. I think much has been unshown yet as to how the plan unfolded. I can’t imagine them ending Holly’s story in such a horrible way, so the person on fire was either Holly or a decoy in protective fire gear of some sort. Remember, anything can happen on GH, like Holly in a silly Anna mask! Fingers crossed!
I can’t stand Holly now. I hope she goes away forever.
I don’t like her either. Terrible actress
The scene was over the effective as I was horrified and could not believe what my eyes were seeing !
what a relief the end was.
This just seem so out there, why would they do this to a legacy character? I know in the soap world getting burn Is no big deal but for real in the real world this would leave someone disfigured and its to much to do to a beloved character. If it was a villain then that’s different but who knows what’s going on I guess I gotta see it play out.
Once again, GH has gone too far with the violence quotient. I don’t care if Hitler’s ghost was under those clothes, I don’t need to see ANYONE burned alive. There’s enough real world mayhem these days; I don’t want it in my afternoon fare. Bad taste!
Soaphound…AGREE!!,
You know, Rose, in the past couple of months, we’ve had beatings; threats of torture with knives; ACTUAL torture with Dex strung up like Braveheart; multiple shootings; hook murders; poisonings; body burning; and, the worst torture of all: watching Nina drool over a comatose Sonny and Carly acting like a teenager from GREASE with Droop as Danny Zuko. What did we do to deserve this?
I was not entertained. Especially for a character many were looking forward to seeing again, even if for a brief time because of her long covid. So I don’t care how it plays out. It was a horrible scene for GH to show. Even some nighttime shows I’ve watched didn’t end in such a “fiery” way.

GH’s Scarlett Fernandez on Charlotte’s Mindset: “She Completely Believes That Anna is Out to Get Her”

Once returning to General Hospital, Scarlett Fernandez (Charlotte) has been involved in a juicy storyline, where an impressionable young Charlotte Cassadine has been persuaded almost brain-washed, if you will, via a letter from Victor Cassadine from the grave.
In it, he implores Charlotte to keep Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) away from her father, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). So, taking that to heart, Charlotte burned Anna’s house down and much more. When she gets shot by Anna after intruding into the super spy’s apartment, the stakes get even higher.
Valenin had figured out that Charlotte was stalking Anna and trying to do her harm, but did not inform Anna. That has caused a major rift in their relationship. Meanwhile, Laura (Genie Francis) and Valentin confronted Charlotte after she returned home from the hospital.

Photo: ABC
In her latest interview with Soap Opera Digest, Fernandez shared on getting to play this kind of story: “It’s definitely an honor because when I was little, I was getting storylines, but this is just crazy! I kind of feel like I’m treated like an adult on the show now, almost, and it’s just been great. I’ve been given great stuff and the fact that Frank (Valentini, EP, GH) and all of his co-workers have trusted me has just been an amazing feeling.”
With everyone confronting Charlotte on her dirty deeds against Anna, and her denying it, Fernandez weighs-in on just where Charlotte is at this point in her mind: “I think that she definitely realizes that the people around her don’t believe her and don’t trust her and I think that really frustrates her because she completely believes that Anna is out to get her. So that (the adults in her life don’t believe her) is hard for her.”

Photo: ABC
There is also burgeoning chemistry between Jake (Hudson West) and Charlotte! So what does Fernandez think of that? Is she using him, or could be the beginning of young love? She expressed: “I think it’s definitely a little bit of both. I think that maybe she and Jake are partners-in-crime, but I also think that Jake has or will have a good influence on her. She just really needs someone to be there for her and for her to be able to confide in and I think that he has been that.”
So, have you been enjoying Scarlett’s performances as a troubled Charlotte? Would you like to see Jake and Charlotte have a ‘date’? Do you think Charlotte needs deprogramming to help her out of the grip that Victor has on her; as she believes Anna is the cause of all the trouble that will come her father’s way, if she doesn’t find a way to get rid of her? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
