10 More ‘General Hospital’ Stars We Want to Return: Anthony Geary, Vanessa Marcil & More
Jonathan Jackson will be making his triumphant return as Lucky Spencer on General Hospital later this summer. It’s been nearly a decade since Luke and Laura’s son was walking around Port Charles.
With all the hype around Jackson’s return and Bryan Craig reprising his role as Morgan Corinthos, we’ve been thinking about other beloved General Hospital stars we’d love to see back on the long-running soap.
Since it’s Lucky Spencer, wouldn’t it be incredible to see Anthony Geary or Emme Rylan back on GH to reunite the Spencer clan? Isn’t it about time for Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) to resurface? (Yes.)
Scroll down to see the General Hospital alums we need to see pop back up in Port Charles sooner rather than later.
General Hospital, Weekdays, ABC
Anthony Geary as Luke Spencer
With Lucky returning, it’s only natural that we’d want Luke Spencer to resurface in Port Charles to reunite with his son. Luke was supposedly killed in a cable-car accident, but no one’s every really dead in soap world.
Given how magnetic Geary and Jackson are playing father and son, we need to see these two onscreen together. Come on, Geary. Bring back THE Luke Spencer! The timing has never been more perfect.
Vanessa Marcil as Brenda Barrett
Brenda Barrett always shakes things up whenever she’s in Port Charles. Marcil has come and gone on General Hospital through the years. Her last appearance was in 2013. After a decade, let’s have Brenda reenter the mix and spice up Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) life once again.
Robin Christopher as Skye Quartermaine
We love Quartermaine family drama, and the return of the glamorous and always fierce Skye Chandler Quartermaine would be epic. Christopher last played Skye in 2012, so she’s overdue for a comeback. Our dream would be for Geary and Christopher to share another scene as Luke and “Red.”
Sean Blakemore as Shawn Butler
Shawn still has a lot of ties in Port Charles, and we’d love to have him resurface on General Hospital. Shawn’s been to hell and back over the years, so we need to check on him.
Kristen Alderson as Starr Manning
Kiki Jerome is technically dead (but, again, no one is ever really dead) so let’s get Alderson back as Starr Manning, the role she originated on One Life to Live. After OLTL’s cancellation, she brought Starr to Port Charles for a brief period. If Prospect Park no longer owns the rights to the OLTL characters, having Starr make a return trip to Port Charles would be very fun.
William DeVry as Julian Jerome
Talk about a twist. Sonny and Jason (Steve Burton) would be very surprised to see Julian back from the dead. DeVry always delivers no matter what role he’s playing, but we’d especially love to see him step back into Julian’s shoes.
Emme Rylan as Lulu Spencer
Fans have been wanting Lulu to wake up from her coma for some time now, and Rylan has been vocal about how she’s willing to return. With Lucky coming back into the picture, we need to see Lulu open her eyes and reunite with her older brother.
John Stamos as Blackie Parrish
It’s been 40 years since Stamos last played Blackie Parrish on General Hospital. With this kind of anniversary, the GH gods need to urge Stamos to come back, even if it’s just a quick cameo! Stamos, don’t let us down!
Carly Schroeder as Serena Baldwin
It’s time! From the moment she was born, Serena was a pivotal character on General Hospital and spinoff series Port Charles. With Lucy’s (Lynn Herring) larger-than-life presence in Port Charles, Serena needs to book a flight from Paris and pay a visit to her mom.
Rick Hearst as Ric Lansing
Ric Lansing became an integral part of the General Hospital fabric when he showed up in 2002. Hearst’s brilliant performance as Sonny’s half-brother made him one to watch every weekday. He had some of the most memorable storylines over the years, including that wild panic room plot. Ric disappeared in 2016, and he’s been quiet ever since. What’s he been up to? We need to find out!

How about someone a little more recent, like say Lisel. As you say nobody ever stays dead on GH. Bring back Franco and have him find out Dex is his son. A good way for Scotty to be a grandpa and Elizabeth to be a stepmom.

Pretty much nope to all of them, except Julian and maybe Kristen Alderson, though not as Starr. The thing about this show and Frank Valentini's number one goal of keeping things under budget is, when he brings one of these older characters back, he fires one or more of the current characters as we've seen twice, of late. I'm very much afraid there's a third going soon.

Skye and starr no! Their characters did add anything to the show. They did make mistake of killing off Roger Howarth , irritating with 2 characters, Austin didn't give him enough to develop. Julian had some good scenes, but leave him dead. Blackie and Serena have no ties in Port Charles that anyone cares about. Lucy and Scott are ridiculous. The characters are not likeable and not good enough to " love to hate" And the cast is at a high level now blocking the progression any good storyline. There are some current staff they could drop too. (Porcha, Aunt Stella). They need to Develop Curtis better. He had more substance to the characters than they have him now. Glad Fin is gone, but had an excellent scene saying good bye to Charlotte. That little girl was fantastic!

Bring Frisco Jones back to right the wrongs the awful writers did to his character. He could begin a positive relationship with his daughter and grandchildren and possibly co-grandparent with Felicia. Who knows what the future could hold for them. They were robbed of an amazing power couple story line
