If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.

Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.

One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?

Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).

In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.

HEALING ANNA

On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital.  Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.

In a metaphor for the start of the school year and their upcoming anniversary in November, Days of our Lives revealed its “Class of Season 62,” with a very clever yearbook montage on their social media handles, welcoming new cast members, while paying respect to the veterans and “class”-iying the other characters in Salem.

The official Days of our Lives Instagram account shared on the posting, “The Class of Salem Season 62 has arrived. Familiar faces, new names and plenty of personality. Flip through our yearbook for a peek at this year’s class.”

Let’s take a look at how they broke it all down: The Salem Yearbook starts with saying “another unforgettable season,” with some group pics, and then we dovetail into Salem’s new class which features: Sydney Malakeh (Sydney DiMera), Brandon Butler (Mason Whitfield), Angelica Nero (Victoria Kiriakis), Cole Gersmeyer (Thomas DiMera) and Lorelei Olivia Mote (Rachel Black).

There is nothing more soap fans love better than when their favorite daytime drama updates their opening title sequence to showcase all the new characters, replace long-held images of the cast and delete those who are no longer airing on the series.

Now comes word from the B&B app (Bold and Beautiful TV) that there is a brand new opening title sequence as the show heads towards its 40th anniversary celebration next year on March 23, 2027.

The new title sequence uses previously seen images mixed with brand new images and begins with series long-running stars, John McCook (Eric), then Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Thorsten Kaye (Ridge), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), Tanner Novlan (Finn), then comes Lawrence-Saint Victor (Carter), Annika Noelle (Hope), Scott Clifton (Liam) and Rebecca Budig (Taylor).

Next up, the Spencer clan with Don Diamont (Bill), Heather Tom (Katie), Crew Morrow (Will), Sydney Bullock (Dylan), Delon de Metz (Zende), Brayan Nicoletti (R.J.) Laneya Grace (Electra), then Lawrence Saint-Victor, Murielle Hilaire (Daphne), Harrison Cone (Deke), Sean Kanan (Deacon), Kimberlin Brown (Sheila), a shot of Tanner Novlan as Finn, another of Jacqueline MacInnes Wood as Steffy, Naomi Matsuda (Li), Jennifer Gareis (Donna), a shirtless Scott Clifton, Annika Noelle, Darin Brooks (Wyatt) and Denise Richards (Shauna).

In the final set up, look for more shots of Heather Tom, Murielle Hilaire, Katherine Kelly Lang, Laneya Grace, Brayan Nicoletti, Crew Morrow, and at the end of the opening sequence, previously seen title sequence shots of Bill, Katie Ridge, Brooke and Eric, round out the conclusion,
