General Hospital spoilers reveal that over three decades ago GH fans caught their first glimpse of Finola Hughes in Port Charles and for many, it was love at first sight, a relationship that has spawned years of entertainment and special memories.
General Hospital Spoilers – Finola Hughes Celebrates 35th Anniversary As Anna Devane
Daytime Emmy Award winner Finola Hughes debuted on GH on April 10th, 1985. Back then she was a mysterious sylph, pretending to be a jewel thief while actually being employed by the World Security Bureau as a spy who could do just about anything.
Since those early days, we’ve watched as Anna has matured, endured joy, experienced heartache, and stared down any and every challenge that has come her way.
Who could forget the early years as she raised her daughter Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough)? It’s the stuff of legend, but it’s true, the story about Finola putting her foot down when TPTB tried to SORAS Robin. Finola knew that the relationship between Anna and Robin was magical and could never be duplicated with another actress—in the end, she won the argument and millions of GH fans who watched Kimberly grow up on our screen are winners, too.

GH Spoilers – Anna Devane Has Had Tons Of Romance Through The Years
It could be argued that Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), Robin’s father, will always hold a special place in Anna’s heart. But no one will ever forget the swashbuckling romance she had with dashing Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) who proudly married Anna in his native Scottish attire, a kilt.
Currently, Dr. Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) is Anna’s lover. Does he deserve her? There are mixed feelings among fans on that count. Their romance has been neither as long or legendary as her relationships with Robert or Duke. He still has time to redeem betraying her trust where Peter August (Wes Ramsey) is concerned, but the sands in the hourglass are running out quickly!
General Hospital Spoilers – Finola Hughes Took To Instagram To Recognize Her Special Moment

About her anniversary, Finola shared a throwback pic on Instagram and said: “This happened #35 yrs ago when I started at #GH. That day I couldn’t have known I would play this character on and off over the next three decades and love it so much. I couldn’t have known the extraordinary friends and family I would make. I couldn’t have known the outpouring of love from our dedicated audience. I also didn’t know the life I would lead in my adopted country and the welcome I would feel or the children that were to come. Thank you for embracing Anna’s badassery. Love you lots #staysafe #staysane #stayhome (I also didn’t know what was going to be under my peek-a-boo hairdo, but that’s another story).”
Fun fact: Finola won the Outstanding Lead Actress Daytime Emmy Award for her portrayal as Anna Devane in 1991.
Congratulations Finola Hughes on your incredible run as the incomparable Anna Devane!
Absolute fan!
I am a fan of Finola. I hope things will work out in regards to Anna and Peter. I hope that they will continue to bond as mother and son. I hope that Peter will somehow become the son that Anna can be proud of in the end. I also hope that Anna will continue to be happy with Finn. However if that does not work out then maybe she could be with Valentin or David Haywood if he came on GH. I really like Anna’s relationships with Robin, Emma, Robert, Mac, Felicia, Maxie, and the rest of her family. I look forward to seeing more out of Anna in the future.
