Deadline has learned that Emma Samms is making another comeback to General Hospital in September. Her last visit to the ABC soap kicked off in October of 2022. At that time, her character had been missing since 2020.

Samms told Deadline in 2022 that “I can’t believe that it’s been 40 years since I first appeared on General Hospital and that, once again, I get to play the wonderful character of Holly Sutton. No one is more interested in what’s happened to her since we saw her two years ago, being held captive by a mysterious villain, than me!”

Samms debuted as Holly on GH in 1982 and appeared on and off through 2015. Her other TV credits include Dynasty and its spinoff The Colbys .
