Daytime Emmy Winner Ally Mills Teases Possible Return to General Hospital
Heather Weber’s shadow may fall over Port Charles once again.
Daytime television fans know that in the soap world, no exit is ever truly final—and one General Hospital alum is fueling speculation that a long-awaited comeback may be closer than anyone expected. Daytime Emmy winner Ally Mills, who portrayed the unforgettable and dangerously unpredictable Heather Weber, has officially teased that her return to Port Charles could be right around the corner.
A Triumphant Moment at the Daytime Emmys
Mills recently attended the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, where she took home the award for Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series for her chilling and widely praised performance as Heather. It was during this celebratory night that she gave fans exactly the tease they’ve been hoping for.
While speaking with soap journalist Michael Fairman of Michael Fairman TV on the red carpet, Mills was asked the question every GH fan has been asking since her 2023 exit: Is Heather Weber coming back?
“I’ll Be Back”—A Line Fans Haven’t Forgotten
With a grin, Mills reminded Fairman that her final on-screen moment in 2023 was intentionally loaded. Her parting words—directed at baby Ace—were simply:
“I’ll be back.”
And according to Mills, that might not have been just a dramatic flourish.
She revealed that she has spent much of the past year busy with theater work, explaining:
“It hasn’t been that soon because I’ve been gone doing a play all year. But my schedule has opened up. I’m back in L.A.”
Even more intriguing, Mills shared a past conversation with General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini, who had hinted at the timing of a potential return:
“Frank said about a year—and it’s about a year next month.”
With Mills now back in Los Angeles and her calendar more flexible, the timing couldn’t be more suspiciously perfect for a Heather resurgence.
Is Heather Turning Over a New Leaf?
When asked whether fans could expect Heather to stir up more chaos—or, perhaps shockingly, tone things down—Mills joked with a mischievous smile:
“I think maybe I won’t kill anybody anymore. I think that’s what ABC wants.”
Given Heather’s decades-long history of mayhem, kidnappings, stabbings, and psychological warfare, the idea of a “reformed” Heather Weber is equal parts hilarious and terrifying. But this is a soap opera, after all—redemption arcs and relapses are always in play.
Not Just Port Charles—Possible Return to The Bold and the Beautiful
Mills also sat down with the team from The Shind Days, a Days of Our Lives YouTube channel, where she revealed that she may not only be returning to GH but also revisiting another iconic soap role.
She teased:
“I’m probably going to go back and do a little stint on Bold and Beautiful as Pammy, I just heard… then go back and be a crazy person.”
She laughed, clearly relishing the variety of characters she’s played over the years.
For long-time Bold and the Beautiful fans, Mills’ return as Pam Douglas would be a delightful treat. Pam—best remembered for her quirky antics, fierce loyalty to the Forrester family, and occasional unhinged moments—remains a beloved supporting character.
A Return to Her First Love: Theatre
Throughout her interviews, Mills spoke passionately about her love for the stage. The actress spent the past year performing in Kansas and recently completed another theater production in Hollywood.
“I just love playing different people,” she shared. “I’ve been doing it my whole life.”
Her dedication to her craft—and her eagerness to jump into roles across mediums—speaks volumes about why she remains such a dynamic performer.
What This Means for GH’s Future
With Mills back in Los Angeles, her schedule freed up, and hints from the show’s executive producer circling back into the conversation, the possibility of Heather Weber returning to Port Charles feels stronger than ever.
If Heather comes back, who will she target?
Will she reclaim her obsession with Esme?
Will she reconnect—or clash—with Laura, Ava, or the Cassadines?
Or will ABC truly try to give Heather a redemption arc?
Whatever happens, one thing is certain: Heather Weber’s presence always shakes the storylines to their core. And fans know that Port Charles is never quite as thrilling without her brand of chaos.
Stay tuned—because when Heather says “I’ll be back,” she usually means it.
