GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Is Drew About to Be Saved from the Clutches of Willow?

One of the all-time greatest assets and MVPs of General Hospital, the wonderful Lynn Herring, is getting her due today on Saturday, April 11. On this date back in 1986, Herring made her debut on the ABC soap opera as Lucy Coe.

When viewers first met Lucy, she was a mousy librarian who later turned out to be the town home wrecker and husband stealer! As the years went on, while maintaining the essence of Lucy, the character and Lynn have made the annual GH Nurses’ Ball must-see TV with the heart, drama and comedy brought year after year in memorable performances by Lynn.

While the actress has come and gone from GH several times during the four decades: when taking on the roles of Lisanne Gardner on Days of our Lives or Audrey Coleman on As the World Turns, or bringing Lucy to the GH spin-off Port Charles, the long-running General Hospital has remained her home.

To mark the occasion, the entire cast of the ABC soap opera, participated in a celebrating Lynn’s 40th anniversary with a heartfelt viral video that shows just how much the cast adores, appreciates and loves Lynn. TheGeneral Hospital social media accounts expressed, “We love you, Lynn. Never Change!”

Participating stars included: Giovanni Mazza (Gio), Maurice Benard (Sonny), Josh Swickard (Chase), Lisa LoCiero (Olivia), Genie Francis (Laura), Jane Elliot (Tracy), John J. York (Mac), Kristina Wagner (Felicia), Braedyn Bruner (Emma), Kate Mansi (Kristina), Kristen Vaganos (Molly), Katelyn MacMullen (Will0w), Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis), Amanda Setton (Brook Lynn), Donnell Turner (Curtis), and Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth).

In addition, the following stars also send along video messages to Lynn, including: Brook Kerr (Portia), Chris McKenna (Jack), Tabyana Ali (Trina), Dominic Zamprogna (Dante), Eden McCoy (Josslyn), Ryan Paevey (Cassius), Sawandi Wilson (Isaiah), Cameron Mathison (Drew), Tanisha Harper (Jordan), Nazneen Contractor (Justine), Kelly Thiebaud (Britt), Finn Carr (Rocco), Rick Hearst (Ric), Laura Wright (Carly), James Patrick Stuart (Valentin), Van Hansis (Lucas), Carlo Rota (Sidwell), Maura West (Ava), Rory Gibson (Michael), and Cynthia Watros (Nina).
