This past week, General Hospital fans were thrilled with the news that longtime fan favorite, Kristina Wagner (Felicia) was on her way back to the soap opera to tape new episodes.  However on Saturday, the actress shared even bigger news.  She is back on contract at the ABC daytime drama series.

Kristina revealed via her Instagram: “I’m pleased to announce I just finished my first work week on contract with General Hospital. The good people there have made it a well oiled machine. I’m so impressed with the way they navigate the Covid protocols. It’s not easy but we’ll worth it. We’ve got some fun storylines coming up. I’ve been thrown in the middle of a current storyline and I think Felicia’s part in it gives it some color. Stay tuned!”

Earlier in the week on Tuesday via Twitter, Kristina expressed: “Tomorrow I head back to work on General Hospital! Lucky me. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of that family once again. Here we go. More to come. Felicia Scorpio rides again.”

Wagner began her GH role as Felicia Cummings, the Aztec princess back in 1984 and has appeared on and off the show since then.

So what storyline do you think Felicia will get thrown into? Will she return to Port Charles to help Maxie (Kirsten Storms)?  Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Yea!!! Kristina is back. And hopefully more Genie as Laura.

Amazing news!

Maybe we’ll finally get Felicia’s reaction to losing her bar to Julian’s bomb.

Maxie gets her mother’s ear. And, what if Felicia possibly has a connection with Esme?

The show has a powerful group of actresses over 50 now on contract. Alexis, Anna, Carly, Felicia, Harmony and Laura. Throw in frequently used recurring Liesl and Olivia with Monica shining from time-to-time. What an awesome troupe of vibrant mature women.

I don’t know if Felicia herself would be “connected” to Esme. But she might very well be the first one to notice that Esme seems a little bit like Ryan Chamberlin…. because she’s probably his daughter.

Obviously Felicia has history with Ryan, but that doesn’t mean she was keeping track of his whereabouts in the years he was gone from Port Charles. Like everybody else, she probably assumed he burned to death in the carnival fire back in the 1990s. Of course in her recent unexplained extended absence to Texas (or where ever she supposedly has been) she might have had time to do her own research into Ryan’s missing years. Might be interesting to see her reaction when she meets Harmony (who might be Esme’s mother)

My big question is how does Esme know of Ryan and the fact that he may be her father. Does she know the mother who gave her birth,etc,etc??

Nearly every longtime female character on GH eventually has a never before mentioned child. Monica (Dawn), Bobbie (Carly), Alexis (Sam), Laura (Nikolas),Liesl (not as long term, but Nathan still). They tried with Anna, but fan backlash and a poorly conceived storyline forced them to undo that. Felicia may soon join that club.

Totally agreed! Also the great Jackie Zeman should be included on the list.

this is great news, Felicia is a character w/ such rich history, daughter Maxie has nothing on mom w/ the villains she’s fought and the adventures she’s been on. So happy for Kristina Wagner, and for us fans this is great news.

ya, I always like Frisco and Felicia I had read she was supposed to be back in 121/1/21?

Wonder if this means contracts for other vets? Because honestly if someone told me “Guess which vet is back on contract?” KW would’ve been low on my list because she’s been absent for so long.

Putting KW on contract seems to indicate there’s a major story coming up that they want to make sure she’s available.

Back in the early 2000’s when Kirsten Storms joined GH one of her first stories had them revisiting Maxie’s heart issues. JFP refused to give KW a contract resulting in the quick recast of Sandra Ferguson as Felicia. The storyline fell flat with 2 new recasts and the inability to use any flashbacks.

Makes sense. Just because she’s on contract doesn’t mean she’ll be on contract long term. Can be a 6 month contract for all we know.

Plus, contracts don’t mean the same number of appearances that they use to. The performers who play Shawn, Victor and Harmony are on contract but have been seen less on screen than recurring characters such as Valentin, Ned and Liesl.

This is great news… and makes me feel GH isn’t going to end any time soon as some predict with the departure of Jason…

Aka after the 60th anniversary.

“Hi, Felicia!”
So glad to see her back in the mix, awol far too long to make sense in several storylines. Please treat her well!

Absolutely in agreement, Kevin! On all counts!

What about bringing back Mac?

So glad she’s coming back and am delighted she’s now on contract!
Does that mean John J. York’s “Mac” isn’t too far behind???? One can hope!

York is still recurring.

Nice news. BUT, for years, Genie would come and go and they didnt know what to do with her. They finally hit pay dirt with her being Mayor and having two long lost brothers. I hope they have a story for Kristina. One of her problems is Mac. He and her have no drama and not nearly the chemistry as she and Frisco. Jack probably doesnt want to ever return so why not breakup Mac and Felicia and let her find someone new that she can get involved in other stories on GH and let her have some excitement!

hmm. could she be Esme’s mom?

there’s a scarry thought

Very!

I guess it looks like I’m the ONLY one who is not thrilled to see her return to GH? I am not trying to be mean, and it’s not that I dislike the idea of her character or anything like that? I just really think her acting skills are very much lacking anymore… Sorry.
That voice is like ‘finger nails scratching down a chalk board’ just so baby like irritating. I can’t be the only person who that drives nuts?

No, I agree.

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help

Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.

Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?

Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).

According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”

Take a look below at the rest of the official teasers for the week.

REPORT: General Hospital Alum, Robyn Bernard, Homeless & Battling Addiction, Before Her Passing at 64

Robyn Bernard passed away earlier this week on March 12th, when her body was found in an empty field, which is allegedly behind a 7/11, and some trailer homes, in San Jacinto, California. The actress and singer, and former General Hospital alum, played Terry Brock from 1984-1990 and was 64-years-old at the time of her death.

New reporting on the life that she led over the past year, and longtime mental health issues and struggles with addiction, paint a picture that may have led to her death. Although it should be noted, the toxicology report is currently not completed or released. However, the sheriff department stated that no foul play is suspected.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, friends of Bernard spoke on how she had become part of their homeless community, and that she she struggled with alcohol addiction, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia through the latter part of her life.

In their accounts, things went south for Robyn when in 2014 she moved to the community in San Jacinto, which is 84 miles from Los Angeles. At that time, she moved into a trailer park for senior citizens and was beloved for her singing by her neighbors.

The report also notes that in 2015, tragically, Bernard’s trailer park home was burned to the ground taking 7 of her 8 beloved cats and all of her possessions. After that, Robin stayed with many people of the community, but the previous management chased her off of the premises. She then broke up with her boyfriend and eventually stopped communicating with her parents.

Bernard’s final home was in a community called Parkview Estates, facilitated by Riverside County’s Adult Protective Services Department.  According to police records obtained by Daily Mail, through 2017-2019, Bernard faced numerous DUI drugs and alcohol arrests during that period.

Joni Woods, who lives opposite the space where Bernard’s trailer once was said: ‘I used to see her (Robyn) around town all the time pushing her shopping carts. She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.” Robyn’s former boyfriend, Dan Berlin, expressed that the last time he had seen the GH alum was two years ago, “She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way. She was a schizophrenic.’

The friends of Bernard shared: “She used to say that Hollywood screwed her over,” adding, “They did her dirty and that’s why she ended up living in San Jacinto of all places.”

Share your thoughts on this tragic story of the last part of Robyn’s life, which again, stresses the importance of trying to find the appropriate help for those dealing with mental illness, being homeless, and addiction.

On General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has thus far survived two bullets to the chest, and is laying in a coma. Sam (Kelly Monaco), his lady love, is by his side and beside herself after learning her ex Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is alive and is of the belief that Jason have been the shooter who tried to take out Dante.

While Dante’s life is still hanging in the balance, it appears that his portrayer, Dominic Zamprogna, took a diverse range of headshot and portrait photos under the eyes of talented photographer Jackson Davis. The photos were posted on Davis’ Instagram account.

Zamprogna joined General Hospital back in 2009 and has been nominated four times for a Daytime Emmy Award throughout his time thus far on the ABC daytime drama series.
