GH sources explain that Laura Collins left the ABC daytime drama in January 2018, shortly after she married Dr. Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom). She was deeply embroiled in the Port Charles mayoral campaign against Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) as well. It was shocking to see her leave town to attend to her hurt grandson, Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) and upset fans worldwide when the announcement came that she was bumped to recurring.
Genie Francis reveals to Soaps In Depth, “I’m looking forward to coming home, and I’m really excited about this new, invigorating story they have for Laura.” It will be interesting to see how everything unfolds now that the mysterious patient in Ferncliff has been revealed to be either Kevin Collins or his twin brother, Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom portrays both characters). One has to wonder which brother is roaming free in Port Charles, and how will this twist entwine with Laura’s return?
I’m really excited for @GenieFrancis to be rejoining the cast. We have an amazing story for her. Stay tuned. #GH55 @GeneralHospital https://t.co/fHYZzoLDWF
