After years of speculation surrounding a return, Marcus Coloma debuted in the role. Her run on General Hospital was pointless and short-lived.įinally, Nikolas Cassadine returned to Port Charles. While trying to avenge her brother, Kendra was killed before she could run over Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

A sister wasn’t mentioned back then, and to add her now was a bit confusing. Writing her as Kiefer’s sister was a bit of a stretch, especially for General Hospital fans who remember the storyline with him abusing Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth). She appeared almost out of nowhere and was connected to Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin). The addition of Kendra (Michelle Argyris) was weird. Now, she is teaming up with Ava (Maura West) to take down the Cassadine men. The performance delivered when she found out the truth about Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) not being her daughter was on point. While initially she wasn’t welcomed with open arms, many viewers have warmed up to her. In April, it was announced that Cynthia Watros had been hired to replace Michelle Stafford. Who would be replacing Michelle Stafford in the role she originated? Would the NuNina be able to handle all of the critiquing that would come with taking a role like this on? Rumblings had been happening for weeks after the initial news was revealed. When it was announced that Michelle Stafford was exiting the role of Nina and heading back to The Young and the Restless as Phyllis, viewers lost their minds. The most buzz when it came to characters and actors on General Hospital came back in the spring. Adding that Franco (Roger Howarth) becoming Drew was completely unnecessary, especially with Billy Miller off the canvas. Not only was the death insulting to fans who wanted to root for Drew, but not to have a remembrance for those who loved him in Port Charles was over the top. General Hospital had so much potential to use Drew in various ways, including coupled with some of the single ladies of Port Charles, and yet, they killed him off during an off-screen plane crash. Watching Oscar (Garren Stitt) die was brutal for fans as they watched Drew and Kim (Tamara Braun) grieve their son. Once General Hospital brought back Steve Burton to be Jason Morgan, and Miller was switched to Drew Cain, the writing was on the all. Saying goodbye to Billy Miller as Drew was both shocking and expected.

There have been plenty of comings and going, but these are the ones that have stood out among General Hospital fans. From recasts to characters being cut off and never discussed again, fans of the ABC soaps have seen a lot. General Hospital has been up and down throughout 2019.
