I personally vastly preferred Mansi to Miller as Abigail on Days.  I did tend to find some of Miller's choices as Abby very dull and perhaps the two actresses contrasted one another too much?  I also think Mansi had better chemistry with BF.

Anyhow, I could see MM as an adult Lulu.  I think Miller's style meshes a bit better with JMB and EM's Lulu's.  While I would never called Miller "spunky" or a "spitfire", I do think she could portray an mature Lulu where she would be now in her life and still have some spark to her.

Honestly, that's part of the allure of wanting Miller as Lulu: having both Abigail's on the canvas, and just how cheeky it could be. But, in reality, I've wanted Miller on General Hospital for some time now, even pre-dating Kate Mansi's casting as Kristina (and I casting I quite like). Miller has that ethereal look that I adore, and her acting style just suits a soap opera, but would also suit Lulu as a spitfire Spencer, which is who should return post-coma (way past due). Plus, Miller has rapport with the General Hospital cast, so I do think she'd fit in quite well. And, visually, she just suits the role (from my POV).

Did those top two actresses actually play Lulu?  Lol.  No recollection of them.

I was wondering the same thing. But the first photo does resemble the shy, dark haired little girl that played Lulu as a baby. As she got older she barely spoke and seemed really shy to me.

Anna telling Carly to be as smart as she (Carly) thinks she is now one of my favorite telling Carly off scenes ever.

Yes. Stephanie Allen played Lulu from 2001–2003, and Tessa Allen was Lulu from 2004–2005.

I have always wondered why the show cast that really dark haired child (twins?) and kept her so long since she didn't ever talk and looked nothing like Luke/Laura/Lucky lol.

Thanks.  Don't remember them at all, but I assuming they didn't appear that much.

They were pre-SORASing of Lulu with Berman.

Not what anyone is talking about, but here's a pic of some of the GH gang last Friday night at SAS's event. LW is in a simple black Diane Von Furstenburg dress & black strappy dress sandals. I don't know who Alley Mills is wearing but she has the boots on that she bought last year for the Emmys & they are Christian Loubutin & cost a bundle! Now, I return you to your usual discussion.

Is that the new Cerullo kid talking to Dex?

Looks like him.

 

And with all the Lulu recast talk, it does make me wonder if Lucky was to finally come back...and JJ was not willing...who would be a good casting choice for him.

I have ideas... but I still think recasting Lucky is a heavy task.

HW: Patrick Mulcahey & Elizabeth Korte

BDW: Chris Van Etten

SW: Stacey Pulwer

DIR: Tina Keller

So Van Etten never left, LMAO, this show I tell ya

 

Cynthia Watros vs. Maura West is everything I have wanted since Watros joined General Hospital. So much more intense and worthy of airtime in comparison to Michelle Stafford vs. West.

My guess? A backup incase something went wrong...? Who knows. I feel like this commonplace now. Instead of hiring new people / re-hiring former writers (Mulcahey-style), this was likely a fail safe, via Korte's request.

CVE was not a good HW. He had issues developing long story. He does better at helping map out said long story, hence the return as BDW

Loving Ava bringing up all the crap Nina has done. 

Sam McMurray is back

Shannon Peace was fired because someone wanted to keep Chris Van Etten employed still, despite failing and being fired as a HW. 

So Drew is gonna go for the Congressman's seat. This is a good story but not for  Drew as played by CM

Now we're gunning for Drew Quartermaine? Is this how we're growing the Q name? 🙄 And, per usual, Maura West has undeniable chemistry with Adam Harrington. Whew.
