Betty is the ultimate mean girl, but her portrayer is nothing like the new nanny. Here is everything you need to know about Ella Lentini while she scorches up the small screen this summer.
General Hospital Spoilers – Ella Lentini Is Betty
Lentini debuted on the soap in July. This is her first daytime role but her resume is impeccable. The actress made acting debut in the 2000 short film, Cusp.

But wait, there’s more! Lentini is a multihyphenate: she also writes, directs and produces in addition to acting. Her directorial debut came with Piece of Cake, which screened in HBO’s Outfest.

General Hospital Spoilers – What Happens Next In Port Charles, New York?
Fans are hoping that the show finds a way of keeping Lentini despite her character’s atrocious behavior. After all, Betty is just a plant, doing the bidding of Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) and his reluctant cousin Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth).
By the way, fans definitely noticed that this week Mason called their boss HE while before the honcho was a SHE.
Betty is vicious but she is just following orders—could it be that deep down she is afraid for her life and this is why she is acting so ruthlessly, going after Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) who she bears a striking resemblance to?
Sonny enjoyed his life back in the day, who’s to say that he doesn’t have a daughter from Pautuck that he doesn’t know about?!
