After an exhaustive casting search, it looks like “General Hospital” has finally found its new Lulu Spencer.

Daytime Confidential reports that the ABC daytime drama series has hired “All My Children” alum Alexa Havins (ex-Babe Chandler) to portray the daughter of Luke and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis and Anthony Geary), and the younger sister of Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson).

Since Daytime Confidential‘s reporting, TV Line has confirmed Havins has been cast as Lulu.

Last played by Emme Rylan, the return of Lulu marks a turning point for the character who was placed in a coma in 2020 when an explosion at the Floating Rib left several others injured and caused the deaths of Lulu’s love interest at the time, Dustin Phillips (Mark Lawson), and teenager Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab).

Although a return date has not been announced, recent episodes of the series have seen a body double taking the place of Lulu as her friends and family gather to visit her at General Hospital following news that she needs a liver transplant or else she might not survive.

Reportedly, other actors in the running for the role of Lulu Spencer included Jennifer Landon (“Yellowstone,” “As The World Turns”) and Marci Miller (“Days of our Lives”).

Since exiting daytime in 2007, Havins went on to make several guest appearances in such primetime shows as “CSI: Miami,” “CSI: NY,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Castle,” “Constantine,” “Barry” and even “Sweet Magnolias,” which features her real-life husband and former “All My Children” co-star, Justin Bruening (ex-Jamie Martin), in a starring role.

In 2011, Havins briefly returned to “All My Children” to help close out the character’s story arc as the series was concluding on ABC. That same year, she starred as Esther Drummond in the BBC America original series “Torchwood.”

Check out a clip from the Floating Rib explosion below.

    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
    • And to think the original plan was for David and Lesley to have an affair.  Not only would that have made no sense - Lesley wasn't THAT stupid, lol - but it also would've ruined her and GH.
