"Her brother is in a coma. Her father is hitting the bottle more often than not. The Spencer-Baldwin feud is threatening to commence one more.
What more perfect time for Serena Baldwin to make her appearance and exact revenge against the girl who created this? Will Lesly Lu's choice depend on Serena's actions?

Stay tuned General Hospital fans. Her return promises to stir things up for the Spencers, and it might surprise you to know which one she ultimately sets her sights on!"

Hm...GH definitely needs more younger characters that have ties to older GH characters, but before we bring them on, they really should focus on the older characters more!!! And plus we need more younger male characters...like say Lucas Jones!

[Tara]

I am so intrigued!

I hope Teschner gets it right this time! I'm still reeling from the whole Borianna 1/Borianna 2 fiasco.

[Scott]

Ok I have confidence in the casting department. I mean last year we got Megan Ward, Josh Duhon, Jason Gerhardt, Sebastian Roche and Carolyn Hennessy so lets hope that the actresses that have played Marianna are boring because of writing.

There's no possible way that its due to bad writing. Rick Hearst has chemistry with everyone. I mean everyone. Tamara. Nancy. Becky. Cynthia. Laura. Robin. I could go on. But not on either of these Marianna's. Why is that? Casting!

[Scott]

Eh well i'm still confident in the casting department I mean two bad casts out of the last what ten isn't too bad, especially considering what some other shows cast for leads!!!

Oh yeah, I mean in the past I have been confident in them. I'm just saying. I hope they do a better job than this last bit of casting.

[D_wsb]

about damn time IMHO!

BUT I do think Nadine could've been Serena.

I just dont understand why GH consistently brings on people with no heritage background to the show.. its like SOAP 101

then we'll be less attentive to them.

[Scott]

I totally agree, why waste time bringing in characters that have no ties to those we already know and love. There in lies the real important part. You can't just bring in new characters that are tied to someone else in town, but they have to be tied to a character that is generally liked, that way the new character stands a chance of being accepted faster. I mean when they aged Lulu i think the character was accepted faster than say Sage was, a character whose ties to town really had no real history with the show.

[LuSamFanFirst]

I hope they cast her that would be awesome.

[Scott]

Any ideas on who should play here? How about Stephanie Gatschet from GL fame?

[Tishy]

Anyone that has ties to Scotty makes my day. I agree, Nadine would have been perfect for the role. She isn't needed now. I like the thought of SG, she has the angelic look about her. I would love, but know it wouldn't happen is Brittany Snow. I would like the girl that plays Morgan on Days

[William]

It is about time! It shounds like she is going to have Lulu hate. And as for her boy... i think they are gonna pair her with Spinelli. Humm, i wonder how her and Maxie will get along...

as for casting, i predict a unkowen. if they went "name" i wouldnt mind ash bash (ex-mac, yr) rachel kimsey (ex-mac, yr) or ashley benson (ex-abby, days) ... i would LOVE Gabrille Christian, who was the star of South Of Nowhere.

oh god. i just had a vision of frons thinking they should do a lesbian story.... maxie/serena? ....

[Scott]

I hope they don't pair her with Spinelli and not only start at Lulu/Serena feud but also a Maxie/Serena feud. They don't have to make all three hate each other. And i'm excited to see where the Maxie/Spin relationship goes.

[William]

Serena & Spinelli can cause so much drama. Logan hates Spinelli, Serena hates Lulu. Soctt doesnt like Spinelli. And who knows where they are going to go with Maxie on this one... Happy that Spin found someone, not lulu? Jelous? Hating on serena? they should make serena/lulu hate eachother and make serena/maxie frenemies.

[Tishy]

Lulu is a Spencer

Serena is a Baldwin

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Need I say more?

[William]

^well thats a given. i read a few weeks back they were casting for a new love for spinelli, i wonder if they decided to make it serena?

i wonder how long until her and sonny become bff, ala lulu/jason

[Scott]

Ugh they need to keep any new young woman away from Sonny and Jason. I really wants Spin and Maxie to become involved but if not, i want them to be friends with the common denominator being Georgie. Now anyone remember when Lulu and Serena were younger they were friends?
