General Hospital Stealth Recasts Legacy Character

[setsuna16]

Just a few weeks after announcing that former All My Children actor Alexa Havins has been cast as Lulu Spencer, General Hospital adds yet another member of the Spencer family, this time with former As The World Turns actor Van Hansis taking over the role of Lulu's cousin, Lucas Jones

I think I remember Lucas from that "teen summer" they tried to have in the mid 2000s where Lulu got an abortion (I think it was her?). Now it seems all those characters are coming back.

Is Maxie still around? Do they mention Dillon? Trying to remember who else was there. Ned's daughter too.

Lulu did indeed abort Dillon's baby.

Maxie is still around and has been a constant presence since Kirsten Storms took over the role (although Storms has had periods of unavailability due to personal stuff, so the role has been recast a few times). Dillon hasn't been around for at least like 6 years. They tried to recast the character and the recast was serviceable, but never really took off. They did just mention him about a month ago, talking about the abortion because Lulu's medical situation is probably the 1B story. Ned's daughter, Brook Lynn, is also a regular on the show at the moment.

Woah thanks for all the reminders! I remembered the actress was Adriana Leon but never would have remembered the Brook Lynn name. I need to dig into what's happening on GH these days.

her replacement isn’t as magnetic as adrianne. i miss her in the role

Whoa! Brook Lynn is on? I’m not sure I ever saw her beyond when she was born. I freaking loved Lois, the L&B days… she and Ned were great together, it’s too bad Rena and Wally crashed and burned. Rena is one of the most beautiful women ever.

Rena is actually back on the show as Lois too

All they need to do now is bring back Brenda!!

They don't have the budget for the sweaters with massively oversized sleeves that she would require.
