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

They're building up the Spencer family again for some reason (probably a rating's ploy), so bringing back both of Luke and Laura's children, who were off canvas, was a priority. They asked Julie Marie Berman, the most beloved Lulu by the fans more than likely, if she wanted to return but she turned them down. They skipped over Marcy Rylan, the most recent actress to play her, for some reason (apparently they did Marcy wrong in some way, but there aren't any firm details as to what the 'wrongness' ended up being), so they had to go and find someone else and they found Alexa.

I actually forgot that she went by Emme. She started as Marcy on Guiding Light so I guess I just imprinted that as her name.
