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 Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
