BBG News

As a lifestyle expert with over three decades of experience in the entertainment industry, I must say that news like this brings a wave of nostalgia and excitement to fans everywhere. The return of Emma Samms as Holly Sutton-Scorpio on General Hospital is a testament to the enduring power of soap operas and their ability to captivate audiences for generations.

1. Fans of General Hospital are experiencing a whirlwind of feelings following the news that Emma Samms will reprise her role as beloved character Holly Sutton-Scorpio on the show. (Paraphrased)

One year after disappearing from the screens, the network revealed that the 63-year-old actress would make her return to Port Charles as early as September’s beginning.

On a buzzing Monday, I couldn’t help but leap onto my favorite platform, once famously known as Twitter, to broadcast some thrilling updates! It all began with a tantalizing headline from Variety, breaking the news before anyone else. So here it is, folks – ‘Breaking News…’ indeed!

Fans of General Hospital didn’t take long to rejoice over the shocking casting announcement and took to social media to share their excitement.

One wrote: ‘So many emotions…. Such wonderful news.’ 

Another said: ‘What a fantastic way to start the week. This is the best news. Bring on September!’

A third person expressed joy: “I’m thrilled to have you back at PC (Port Charles), your presence is truly beautiful.”

‘Looking forward to your return!!!’ a fourth continued. ‘Can’t wait to see what’s in store!!!’

1. User5 wrote: ‘Our top choice is coming back… The perfect birthday present. Thanks, laugh out loud. I can hardly wait to see Holly reunited with her friends again.’

1. Actress Emma, of British origin, initially portrayed Holly on General Hospital from 1982 until 1985. Over the past four decades, she has made multiple comebacks to the series, resulting in over 300 appearances.

In April 2023, she made her final appearance on the soap opera in a significant storyline. During this plotline, she teamed up with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) to stop Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) from releasing deadly biological agents, which would have eliminated approximately 80% of the global population in Greenland.

1. Following her heroic act, she made an effort but ultimately couldn’t revive the romance with Robert. Eventually, she said goodbye and moved from Port Charles to Australia, aiming to assist Nathan Parsons in sorting out his financial issues.

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest last year, Emma shared her inner struggle about deciding to come back to General Hospital.

She expressed: “Last time was nearly perfect, receiving overwhelming praise. It may have been best if I’d stepped back then, permanently, leaving on an ultimate high.”

Regarding her latest return, she added: “The focus isn’t solely on my character; rather, it’s on the narrative. In a sense, this allows me to breathe a sigh of relief.”

‘Even though my character is important to the story, it’s not my character’s story.’

The news about Emma returning to General Hospital has emerged, following a month from when they announced Jonathan Jackson would resume his role as Lucky Spencer.)

Sharing the bombshell in a video posted to his Instagram, he said: ‘Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I will be returning to General Hospital this summer.

I’m really looking forward to diving right into the happenings in Port Charles. Naturally, I’m eager to see Genie Francis, among many other familiar faces.
