AceShowbiz - Alexa Havins, known for her portrayal of Babe Carey Chandler in "All My Children", will debut as Lulu Spencer on "General Hospital" later this fall. Lulu has been in a coma since late 2020, but recent storylines have hinted at her imminent return.
Havins will replace Emme Rylan, who played Lulu from 2013 to 2020. Rylan confirmed the recasting in August, expressing disappointment but also relief at finally having closure with the role.
Before her time on "All My Children", Havins appeared in 'Astronaut Wives Club,' 'Grey's Anatomy,' and 'One Life to Live.' She will join a renewed cast of 'General Hospital,' which includes the return of Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer and Emma Samms as Holly Sutton.
Lulu's awakening from her coma has been a highly anticipated storyline, with speculation beginning after a July 2021 episode where her ex-husband Dante and her mother urged her to wake up for her children.
Havins' casting marks the latest significant development for 'General Hospital,' following the departure of Kelly Monaco as Sam McCall and the arrival of Rick Hearst as Ric Lansing.
