Emme Rylan Confirms GH to Recast Lulu

When news emerged that “General Hospital” had issued a casting call for a character strongly resembling Lulu Spencer, it sparked a whirlwind of speculation among fans. Many hoped it was a mistake as they dearly wished for Emme Rylan’s return to the iconic role she vacated in December 2020.

Sadly, Rylan confirmed the news. The actress shared a screenshot of Soaps In Depth’s Instagram post, which discussed the potential recast, in her Instagram Stories. “Yes, it is true,” she wrote. “GH has decided to recast Lulu.”

Rylan, known for her roles as Lizzie Spaulding on “Guiding Light” and Abby Newman on “The Young & The Restless,” took over the role of Lulu Spencer on “General Hospital” from Julie Marie Berman in April 2013. Lulu was placed in a coma in December 2020 following injuries sustained in an explosion. Despite this, fans clung to the hope that Lulu would eventually wake up and that Rylan would reprise the role.

Last August, Rylan reassured her fans, stating she was prepared to return whenever the show needed her. “I have made it very clear to GH that I am always available to play Lulu should she ever want to wake up,” she said. “It is my understanding that when they choose to wake her up, they would be calling me. That could always change. Who knows?”

However, the show decided to move in a different direction, leaving Rylan’s loyal followers disheartened. “Although I am very disappointed with their choice,” the actress expressed in her Instagram Story, “I am glad to finally have closure. (And thank goodness GH brought all of you fabulous people into my life! Love you guys!)”

As news about GH’s Lulu recast develops, fans eagerly await updates. In the meantime, many will continue to follow Rylan’s career closely, supporting her future endeavors.
