GH spoilers – Kate Mansi Plays Kristina Corinthos
Mansi debuted on General Hospital in 2023, taking over the role from Lexi Ainsworth who played Kristina from 2009 until 2023.
Mansi jumped right into front burner storylines with plots about surrogacy, and more recently, murder.
Kristina is one of many who wanted John “Jagger” Cates (Adam Harrington) dead. Ultimately her dad Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) shot the FBI agent in order to protect Kristina from the berserk lawman.

Mansi talked to Michael Fairman TV about Kristina’s recent behavior saying “I think that Kristina will always be someone who is of two worlds, right? She was raised by Sonny Corinthos. He has a moral code and all of those things she tells herself. But I think there’s some big things coming that will also be a really big shift in Kristina’s world that will change her perspective a bit.”
She added “I think when Lexi Ainsworth played the role, the character was also younger, and he had a different type of fatherly relationship with her. I feel like Mo and I can really go toe to toe on things.”
The first thing to know is that some fans were not on board with the change in actresses portraying the legacy character. The second thing to know is that soap fans are legendarily loyal.
GH Spoilers – Mansi’s Social Media Comments
After the interview was published one GH fan tweeted a clip of Kristina, as played by Ainsworth, trading fire with Sonny, with the words “Lexi/K had more fire at 17 than 37.”
Dozens of responses followed, for instance “Lexi can act circles around her,” “I really need her to keep Lexi’s name out of her mouth,” and “She is easily the most unlikable and insufferable cast member on that show and that’s saying something.”
But wait, there’s more: “Yikes! She’s a bit dismissive of Lexi, isn’t she?” and “That’s really insulting to Lexi. Why would she say that?”
