Just What Brings Kassie DePaiva and One Life to Live’s Blair Cramer to General Hospital Revealed
When daytime fan favorite, Kassie DePaiva, drops into Port Charles and General Hospital, she will be reprising her One Life to Live role as Blair Cramer.
Circle this Friday, September 15th for the start of Kassie’s stint.
According to TV Line, in story, it will be revealed that Blair is the ‘mysterious’ third wife of Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight). Look for DePaiva to share scenes not only with Knight, but the one and only Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine).

This is not Blair’s first trip to Port Charles. DePaiva brought her Llanview alter-ego to GH back in March of 2012, just two months after One Life to Live went off the air on ABC.

At that time, Blair was part of a story arc on GH that lasted several months, along with Roger Howarth, who was then playing Todd Manning. Howarth is still on the show today in his third incarnation as Austin Gatlin-Holt.

Fans may remember the “What If'” ABC Daytime short-form stories and promos. One of which featured Knight as AMC’s Tad Martin meeting DePaiva’s Blair Cramer on an airplane flight. You can check that out below.
So, what do you think about Blair being liked up with Martin on GH? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Thank you for the heads up. I can’t wait to see the one and only Blair Cramer again. I love Kassie DePaiva and pairing her with Michael E. Knight is brilliant. I also can’t wait to see Blair trade punches with Tracy Quartermaine. Good thing this show is about a hospital.
Kassie wasn’t “the only” Blair Cramer as another actress of a whole different ethnicity played Blair when the character debuted and married Asa. Although, technically at that time she was going by Blair Dahmler.
I most definitely do remember Mia Korf as the original Blair. Blair came on the scene was quite a pistol: doing the horizontal mambo (I got that euphemism from RJ Gannon) with Max on top of the gown she was going to wear to marry Asa.
Oh how I miss One Life to Live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At Asa’s fake funeral, when each of the ex-wives flashback to their wedding day is classic. After showing Mia’s Blair at the altar, Kassie checks her compact mirror. Exceptionally clever!
Yes, I remember. Another of the many reasons the I love OLTL. They weren’t afraid to poke fun at themselves. Asa’s fake funeral was a hoot.
Ugh…
There was no reason to bring her back to GH, except for picking up the “ball” that was dropped in 2012, and that was the “mystery” of whether that “Tomas” dude from OLTL was actually Lorenzo Alcazar, a person who most of Port Charles believed to be dead, but who was never actually in Hell (and he damned sure would not have been in Heaven!)
The story was dropped of course, because of the Prospect Park legal hassles and never mentioned again. But it’s a relevant issue now, because Alcazar is the most likely suspect to be the guy behind the shadowy “Pikeman” mercenary arms smuggling group that gave Sonny the “offer he couldn’t refuse”. Alcazar, under his own name, previously tried to move weapons through Sonny’s territory and was told that would never happen.
There’s nothing interesting at all about her being Marty’s ex wife. In fact, I was hoping his ex wife would be Faith Roscoe, who is known to have escaped from Hell (sorry about that) and her being married to Marty would explain how Cyrus got involved with the “Pawtuck Mafia”
Kassie DePaiva’s return to GH is casting genius. GH has the best actresses in daytime. You remember her on OLTL but I loved her as Chelsea Reardon on the historic Guiding Light. Now if we could get Kim Zimmer to sign on at GH, that hospital would be rocking!
Kim said a few things in interviews with Michael Logan about her OLTL return as Echo that rubbed Frank the wrong way. Highly unlikely we’ll see her in PC.
Now I don’t want to offend the Dark Lord.. but I hope Blair becomes a long term character. I hope ABC show bring back OLTL in some form and use this a it’s lead spin off… I still have a small percentage of hope for this.
I agree with you. I want Blair to be a regular cast member. I would much rather have her on OLTL, but I love seeing old familiar characters return, that I have missed for so long. Fans want All My Children and OLTL back, even a 30 minute format will do!!!
Not going to happen, ABC is owned by Disney for now..
I don’t believe in Hell or Satan so I’m loving the fact that Blair is back.
Too much fun! What mess will Blair make messier? Can’t wait to see.
Kassie is a great add to the show, now we need Kim Zimmer to be Austin’s mother
See reply above as why that’s unlikely. Although the character isn’t necessary, Jill Larson would make a great Charity Gatlin.
Kim is happily retired, and GH could not afford her anyway.
Bad girl—Good girl……Always a pleasure to see Kassie..
Couldn’t stand her on Days, but she pairs up well with Tracy, the other witch.
Hey, Violet—loved Kassie as Blair on OLTL—hope she hangs around for a long, long while. Imagine if she and Austin hooked up??
Celia, sorry this time I can’t agree with you. I can’t stand this actress . Guess her role on Days just ruined it for me. She was a real bitch in plain English.. I like Austin and until proven otherwise I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. I haven’t seen anyone yet that I like for him. Even Ava is too harsh for him as far as I’m concerned.
Running to watch it right now! Great idea for GH. Hopefully it’ll be well received and it’ll lead to more. And with Kassie Depaiva it’ll most likely be good!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
