The week of June 27, 2022
Rebecca Herbst, whose character, Elizabeth Webber Baldwin, has been shipped off to Shadybrook mental hospital, took to social media to assure fans she’s still with the show. “Just thought I’d shut down some rumors that have been circulating: I haven’t been fired. I’m not on vacation. I don’t have COVID. My kids don’t keep me from working. Nor do I have cramps (the best one yet),” she posted on Twitter.
Primetime soap vet Morgan Fairchild (Falcon Crest, Flamingo Road) is popping onto the Port Charles scene. She’ll air as Haven de Havilland this week. The character is a home shopping hostess. Longtime soap fans will also remember Fairchild for her roles as Jennifer Pace on Search for Tomorrow and Sydney Chase and Debbie Tompkins on The City. She also played Anjelica Deveraux on Days of our Lives back in 2017.
Susan Batten, best known for her runs as Luna Moody on One Life to Live and Connor Walsh on As the World Turns, is set to air as Flora Gardens. She’ll share scenes with Sofia Mattsson’s Sasha Gilmore Corbin and others.
GH made its debut in 1963 and is the longest-running soap opera currently on the air. From legendary Laura’s (Genie Francis) four decades on and off and back on as the show’s leading heroine, to Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) exploits, to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his mobster activities, GH certainly knows how to please their viewers.
More than five decades of gripping drama as well as love in the afternoon have kept this ABC daytime soap on the air and winning Daytime Emmys. It is one of four soap operas currently on the air.
