Emme Rylan Addresses ‘General Hospital’ Recasting of Lulu

General Hospital hinted that Lulu Spencer might soon come out of her coma. Actress Emme Rylan discussed her possible return to the show. Here are all the details.

General Hospital recently caused a buzz about Lulu Spencer, a character who has been in a coma off-screen since 2020. With news that Jonathan Jackson is returning as her brother, fans speculated that Lulu might wake up soon.

In a recent episode, Lulu’s mother Laura and ex-husband Dante visited her hospital room. Emme Rylan last played Lulu from 2013 to 2020. Fans wondered if she would reprise her role or if Julie Marie Berman, a fan favorite, would return.

However, it appears the show has different plans. TV Insider revealed today that the role might be recast. They posted a casting call that seemed to describe Lulu, though the character was listed under a different name, “Lauren.”

“GH” has put out a call for the character of “Lauren,” who is described as 34 to 40 years old and a blonde, white woman. Lauren is described as beautiful, dynamic, and fiery (three characteristics that fit Lulu quite well). The character has overcome challenging circumstances and is now stronger and more determined than ever.”

The casting call fueled intense speculation. Emme Rylan responded to an article about the rumors via her Instagram Story.

Rylan confirmed the rumors were true and that the show was recasting Lulu. She wrote, “Yes it is true. GH has decided to recast Lulu.”

Rylan admitted she felt disappointed but also relieved to have closure after years of rumors. The confirmation has fans speculating that Lulu might wake up from her coma soon. There’s even a possibility that her father, Luke Spencer, who supposedly died in 2022, could return since surprising twists are common in soap operas.

Rylan’s Instagram stories hinted that she might be more upset than she let on about General Hospital’s decision to recast her role. She shared a quote emphasizing the need for closure and understanding that one deserves better. Another quote she posted referred to being removed from a situation where “poison” was being served.

The timing of these quotes has led to suspicions about their true meaning.
