After nearly a month of speculation, General Hospital viewers finally know who will play Lulu Spencer.
Emme Rylan spoke about not being asked to return after her 2020 departure. Lulu was in a coma due to an injury when The Floating Rib exploded.
Several names were tossed around on Soap Twitter, but TVLine officially confirmed it.
Former All My Children fan favorite Alexa Havins will be the new Lulu on General Hospital.
ABC soap viewers will remember her as Babe Chandler, who was one-half of the supercouple with Jacob Young’s Jr Chandler.
She fits the bill, but will viewers accept her in the role after it’s being brought back four years later?
Lulu Spencer’s General Hospital storyline
Lulu is currently comatose at General Hospital following her transfer back to Port Charles from her long-term care facility.
Her liver is failing, and the search for Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) is on.

Grey’s Anatomy has broken many hearts over its 20 seasons (and counting), but it’s also angered fans with how certain characters were written off. Realistically, no one wants to see their favorite character leave a show, but if it’s handled the right way, a good departure allows the legacy of the character to remain untouched.

Deadline broke the news this week that the role of Katie Townsend would be recast.

There's a reason why Sarah Drew and Justin Bruening continue to do projects together. They simply never miss.
Their chemistry is out of this world and always so endearing to watch that it draws you in whenever they're onscreen together. Reindeer Games Homecoming is a prime example of this.
And Sarah Drew was as lovely as always, starring in, executive producing, and penning this heartfelt story of grief, love, and finding oneself.
Reindeer Games had many of the common staples for a classic Christmas film. We had the small-town heroine reconnecting with the hot-shot high school crush who went off and became famous.
We had those fun festivities and a great sense of community that was prominent thanks to the supporting characters. And some conflict and other things almost interfered with our couple finding their way back to one another and having their happily ever after.

Life in Serenity is looking anything but serene these days. Netflix on Friday released the official trailer for Sweet Magnolias‘ upcoming second season, and the ladies are drowning in drama — and margaritas, thankfully.
The two-minute preview of the new season offers a taste of what’s in store for Maddie, Dana Sue and Heather, including: Maddie growing closer to Cal, while still finding time to put Bill in his place (multitasking at its finest!); Dana Sue struggling to choose between Jeremy and Ronnie (a win-win if you ask us); and Helen coming to terms with her own feelings for Erik.

It's a great week to be a fan of Netflix's Sweet Magnolias.
We learned the show would premiere its second season on February 4, 2022 earlier this week, and now we have some photos.
Hooray, right?
Yes, the streamer released three photos, one for each main character, and they're our biggest glimpse at Sweet Magnolias Season 2 yet.
The best part of the trio of photos?
Our trio at the wheel of the show are all in happy places, likely meaning that there will be a lot of good things to come for them on the second season.
Now, you may also be wondering what's about to go down on the second season, and thankfully, Netflix has dropped a spoilery synopsis.
It reads as follows:
As Season 2 opens, Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue learn who is in the car.
But that's just the first of many surprises that come out of Prom Night...

There's nothing quite like a sister's love.
And one sister will go through hell and back to find her twin when she vanishes without a trace.
Lifetime brings all the palpable drama and thrills with Vanished: Searching for My Sister, which bolsters a stellar cast and is bound to have us glued to the screen with bated breath.
A Lifetime veteran is at the forefront of this one doing double duty, too.
Tatyana Ali stars as twin sisters Jada and Kayla, and the two could not be more different if they tried.
Jada is the twin who appears to have it all together. She's strong, independent, and has a stable office job. She's mild-mannered and doesn't appear to get into any sort of trouble.
However, the same cannot be said for Jade, a wild child. As a result, trouble seems to follow Jade wherever she goes, and that much is...
