General Hospital
Kelly Frye To Debut On General Hospital In Recurring Role!
Courtesy/IMDB
There have been rumors circulating the Internet, plus an item in the December 22nd issue of ABC Soaps in Depth on newsstands now, that actress Kelly Frye is joining the cast of General Hospital in the recurring role of Ivy, and will be on-air by the end of this month on the ABC soap opera.
SID related, ” GH confirms that actress Kelly Frye has been cast in the recurring role of Ivy. Although no other details were available at press time, Frye will make her Port Charles debut on Tuesday December 30.”
Some are speculating that since a casting call went out a few months ago for a new female doctor, that this could be the role.
Frye recently appeared on the CW series, The Flash in the role of “Plastique”. She has also appeared on the CBS drama series, The Mentalist, and FX’s Anger Management.
So who do you think Kelly will play on GH? Comment below!
Would be interested to see Kelly paired with Ryan Paevey.
What did she ever do to you!
ELLIE TROUT, ELLIE TROUT, ELLIE TROUT
I feel REALLY SILLY for not guessing this already-long red hair, same age minus 7 months or so, a doctor or hospital employee. Emily Wilson has been doing an HBO Show called The Newsroom I think. Most importantly Spin will be back in town next week w/Georgie in tow, ALLEGEDLY. She would come to help w/Georgie. ?
But maybe she’s her evil twin Ivy who has come to PC to reek havoc on all those who have ever done her wrong, starting w/her newly found birth mother Nina Clay
I know it’s unclear if it’s supposed to be a recast, but I’m going to say Ellie, final answer Regis!
Ellie Trout is a good call. Another person I thought of is Christina. Wouldnt she want to see her dad since he is in Pentonville?
On second thought, she looks to old to be Ellie. Could be Nina’s daughter?
Dr. Serena Baldwin…
This would be cool – I would love to see Serena Baldwin back on the canvas.
Could be Kailey Cassadine, Brook Lynn Ashton, or Nina’s long lost not miscarried after all daughter, as the actress does have red hair. The actress is 29. Unless she’s playing younger that would be too old for Nina’s daughter.
Could be Serena. I see a lot of actress suggestions for Serena Baldwin but why wouldn’t they just bring back the original Serena Baldwin, Carly Schroeder, though? The actress is 24 and pretty.
This actress is 29 & though she doesn’t look it, she seems too old for a Morgan or Michael love interest. They clearly both like older women, though-lol.
Sarah Webber is older than Liz so she seems too young to be her, but that would be fine w/me.
A Robin recast would be great, but seems too young.
Even though I’ve listed 20 possibilities, I’m never right when it comes to this regime. They fool me every time. More than likely she’ll be Nathan’s ex who shows up to make trouble for Nathan and Maxie now that the obstacle of the crooked judge is about to be gone when Maxie gets her daughter back next week. Can’t go a week w/o an obstacle, right?
I don’t mind new characters, but I don’t like that current great ones like Maxie have been pushed aside for months at a time.
Hey Jim,
I think it’s may be Ellie Trout.
Maybe Ellie is Agent Sloane’s long lost daughter that he didn’t know existed, since she was conceived when he was a young, 18 yr old, punk, who her mother never told after he cheated on her w/an older Anna Devane..RME!! I gotta stop!!
All I know is that “Red” & “Agent Sexy Pants Sloane” may be arriving in PC on the same day, no idea if they are in the same sl. Could mean nothing. Could mean everything.
BRIT
Not Britt…maybe a recast Robin???????????????
But you could be right
Wow, she is beautiful! She could be a doctor, decorator, or connected to Nina? Anyway, possibly a new love interest for Prince Nicholas. A nanny for Spencer? With everyone getting arrested maybe an attorney. Could be Serena. Like I’ve said, Scott is not in the forefront right now and he needs to be a father Franco never had. Would there be room for a daughter? Maybe Ethan can come back and wink in her direction. The next generation of the Baldwins and the Spencers!
Dear Lord, in the name of everything that is good and holy, please NO more love interests for Nik!! His bed’s still warm from Britt & his 8 year old son is skipping school, declaring his hate for him and yesterday was hanging at pier 4 w/2 murderers-Liesl & “snakes in her hair” grams! Dad, none the wiser, was too busy beelining it to Liz’s & scolding her about who does or doesn’t warm her couch! The absolute LAST thing he needs is a woman! He has plenty enough $ to pay for hookers if necessary while Spence is at school instead of dragging yet another woman into his young son’s life right now. I almost melted down when Brit told Spencer what a good dad he was yesterday. Okay, I’m done!
Timmm, you gotta stop picking on my Nathan-tee hee! He’s not that bad! I’d rather have a stiff Nathan than..(okay, Mr. Fairman’s going to snip that!)
Okay Laurie, perhaps I’m a little jealous of “Magic Nathan!” I’ll leave him alone. [Today]
Ivy my foot I bet she’s the new Sarah Webber.
Could be – Sarah has been mentioned a few times and Lizzie could use family.
(Sarcastically) Yay, another new face in another new role. I might could get excited if this was a long lost Q– like Jimmy Lee Holt’s daughter, but doubtful. I will do my best to give her a shot as I know it has to be hard for new actors with brand new, unconnected roles. Just wish the powers at be would listen to our request to bring back missing characters than create new ones.
Maybe, a possible love interest for Morgan. Morgan & Ivy? Though, I’m hoping Morgan and Ava will find their way back to each other once the baby is returned and revealed as Morgan’s.
I’d like to see Ivy as a long-long daughter of Laura (Genie Francis), and maybe Helena has been hiding her all these years. GH, bring back Genie!
*long-lost daughter
I don’t know how Morgan and Ava are going to have anything other than conjugal visits…I don’t see how they’ll get her out of going to jail for Connie’s murder…though I’ve heard she’s not leaving the show. Should be interesting to see how they handle it.
Either a Brit recast or we are finally Lucy’s daughter Christina
Nina and Silas’ daughter
Having given up on Kiki, that is the best guess yet, Ms Quartermaine…
I do not think Kelly is a recast..
Being she will be with the hospital, I think she is long lost offspring of …??
It could be just me but-
I see RC and FV trying to revive the Q’s..
Ned is being seen and Michael has now become a Q and I think Jake/Jason this time around, eventually, will return to his Q roots, also..
Perhaps Kelly will be of Q blood..
I wouldn’t be surprised if she were in fact a Brit recast, rumor had it the actress playing her now will be the new Stephie Forrester on B&B!
JMW is headed back to B&B for February sweeps, so that’s false!!
Doubt it she wants to try out for movies and prime time work not work on another soap.
She isnt headed to B and B. Not enough talent there.
See, and I think B&B has the LEAST talented cast on daytime, except Hrather Tom and Rena Sofer who are amazing! The ex-Brit would be a huge improvement of talent.
I believe u misunderstood my comment. When I said not enough talent,,I was referring to Kelly T. BRITT as not having the talent to play a role like Hope. B and B has a lot more talent than Heather and Rena. Jacob, Don, Thorsten, KKL, John, Windsor, Jennifer
I hope Ivy is a new doctor . If the writers are not going to put Patrick back with Sabrina where her belongs than maybe Ivy can be a new love interest for him.
where he belongs not her belongs
maybe Sean Donnely’s daughter !!
Never heard of the actress before, and quite honestly, I don’t think we need another new character on GH right now. Hopefully she turns out to be Sarah Webber, but if not, maybe she’s Sean Donnely’s daughter.
I doubt she’s a Britt recast, though, because Britt just exited the canvas and she has no story at this point. Britt, (like Sabrina, Carlos, Brad, Felix) is an expendable character that serves no real purpose so I wasn’t sad to see her go and I don’t wish for her to return.
Characters don’t always need a “purpose.” They’re people we fall in love with and immerse ourselves in…just as many of us have with Britt, Brad, Dr. O, Nathan, etc. And, Britt did have a story. She was a doctor, she was a mom figure to Spencer, she was Brad’s best friend, Nina’s cousin, Dr. O’s daughter…and a complex, sympathetic character. Just being on the canvas, mingling in the town, interacting, being a part of this make-believe world, is sometimes satisfying in and of itself til the next adventure comes along into which tapestry they are woven.
Britt was a dropped stitch and hopefully will remain one!
Lol, Eileen.. I think Britt will be back in the tight KNIT community at some point… Hopefully sooner rather than later. To each his own…
This is SO Sarah Webber, Liz’s sister….i hope she comes on and catches Nikolas’ eye!!!!
Sarah is older then liz this actress is younger the Rebecca.
Change my mind she could be sarah the actress is 30 not 20s like I assume so sarah charater is possible
i’m thinking she’s Annie Donnely, Anna’s goddaughter. She is a red head like the previous actress who played her briefly.
#gingerpower! I doubt that she’s a legacy character as the actress is on recurring. The story has a void with Britt leaving so they need another female doctor for some scenes. I imagine she’ll move around the cast a bit until they lock in the chemistry with a male co-star.
I had seen a rumor that a female doctor last seen in 2002 was returning soon. The only character that fits that description is Sarah Webber who was last seen in 2002 played by Sarah Laine. Hope there’s a bigger plan in place now for the character. Liz could use the family, and Sarah’s oldest history is with Nikolas, so what better obstacle than Sarah now that Britt is off canvas and Jason is a lingering mystery. But what about Ric? Can’t he also come out of witness protection now?
Hes out of witness protection.
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
