This week’s birthday girl, Emma Samms, is heading back on-screen to General Hospital sooner than you may think.

With Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) storyline of being trapped in Africa in a refugee camp, look for Holly Sutton to be tied into the story starting next when Samms makes another return to GH starting on the Wednesday, September 4th episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, August 28th, Emma celebrated her birthday and shared on social media all the love showered upon her by her fans when bouquets of flowers and more were sent to her while at work. Samms expressed, “Oh, my goodness. I’m overwhelmed by the flowers and gifts waiting for me in my General Hospital dressing room! Thank you!”

The character of Holly Sutton was last seen on the GH canvas back in 2023. Emma first appeared as Holly back in 1982 and exited in 1985. She then became Fallon Carrington on primetime’s Dynasty and The Colbys but eventually returned to GH another run from 1992-93. Since that time, she has made appearances and recurred in 2006, 2009, 2012-13, 2015, 2020 and 2022-23.

Emma’s return along with Jonathan Jackson and Rick Heart (Ric Lansing) are longtime fan favorites brought back on to the canvas and GH sets its latest creative direction for the show under the latest co-head writing regime of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte.
