Emma Samms Returns to GH!

The returns just keep coming! Now Emma Samms is coming back to General Hospital as Holly for another visit!

Variety is reporting that Samms is set to reprise her role in early September and Holly’s return will be tied into that of Jonathan Jackson’s Lucky . Naturally, GH is remaining tight-lipped about any further details regarding her comeback at this time.

Samms made her debut as Holly Sutton on GH back in 1982 and remained with the soap until 1985. She returned for another stint from 1992-93, and later made appearances in 2006, 009, 2023, 2013, and 2015 (for Anthony Geary’s final storyline as Luke).

Although Holly had been presumed dead, it was revealed in 2020 that she was actually alive, but the actress was only able to make a brief appearance in one shot in 2020 because Samms suffers from Long COVID and wasn’t actually well enough to return to the soap until October 2022 for another short visit. Her last trip to Port Charles was in 2023 where Holly helped defeat Victor Cassadine and tried to rekindle her romance with Robert. Realizing they were in different places right now, she decided to leave and help Ethan.

In addition to Jackson coming back as Lucky, Bryan Craig is slated to play Morgan Corinthos again (though only just for one episode), and Rick Hearst is reprising his role of Ric Lansing .

How will Holly’s return tie into Lucky’s? And will she once again make a play for Robert? Keep checking back here at SoapsInDepth.com for more updates on Samms’ return to GH!
