General Hospital fans have been on pins and needles, awaiting the return of Genie Francis' Laura Spencer, and the moment is almost here. Most viewers of the ABC soap opera can look forward to a small glimpse of the actress in a cliffhanger moment on Monday, October 1, and her full-time return to the show on Tuesday, October 2. But if you happened upon this article, you're one of the lucky devils who gets a sneak peek of her Port Charles return now! [NOTE: These dates have been pushed back by one day due to a preemption.]
In the two-minute clip, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, Laura returns home after a nine-month absence, thinking she's returning to Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom), the man she married right before she left town to care for her grandson. What Laura doesn't know, however, is that Kevin is really Ryan Chamberlain, Kevin's sociopathic twin brother who also happens to be a serial killer who has Kevin locked up in a mental institution.
As Soap Central readers may recall, Francis was let go from GH in January in a shocking move that did not go over well with fans. Luckily, the ABC soap opera rectified the situation, with executive producer Frank Valentini announcing earlier this summer: "I'm really excited for Genie to be rejoining the cast. We have an amazing story for her."
Says Francis of her most recent return as the character she's been playing on and off since 1977: "I'm looking forward to coming home and I am really excited about this new invigorating storyline they have for Laura -- I look forward to the next chapter of this prolific and historic character."
