Ah, Lulu Spencer. The name alone conjures up images of mischief, mayhem, and maybe just a little bit of glitter, right? We all want to know: When is this firecracker coming back to General Hospital (GH) in 2021 (or beyond!)?
The Great Lulu Watch of '21 (and Beyond!)
Let's face it, keeping track of soap opera returns is like trying to herd cats. One minute someone's gone for good, the next they're dramatically bursting through a door, amnesiac and engaged to the wrong person. So, what’s the deal with Lulu?
Back in 2020, Lulu landed in a pretty precarious position. After a nasty explosion, she was left in a coma. This left viewers wondering if we’d ever see Emme Rylan, the amazing actress behind Lulu, back in Port Charles.
Rumors, Whispers, and Hopeful Sighs
The internet is aflutter with rumors faster than you can say "Spencer family drama!" Some whispers claim a grand return is imminent, others suggest the character might be recast, and some even sadly say Lulu will never return.
Of course, GH is notoriously tight-lipped about these things. Leaks are rarer than a sane moment in a courtroom scene. So, we're left to rely on breadcrumbs and wishful thinking!
What is known is that Emme Rylan is missed terribly by the fans. Her portrayal of Lulu was vibrant and brought a special something to the canvas. Social media is constantly flooded with messages of support for her and longing for Lulu's return.
Why We All Want Lulu Back
Okay, let's be honest, Port Charles needs some sass and spunk! Lulu brought a unique energy, a blend of sweetness and fire, that made her incredibly watchable.
Plus, think of all the unfinished business! Her son, Rocco, needs his mom. There’s also all the potential storylines with Dante. Their on-again, off-again romance was soap opera gold.
"Dante and Lulu forever!" - Every 'GH' fan, probably.
And who could forget Lulu's career as a journalist? The Invader needs a strong hand at the helm, and Lulu was always willing to dig for the truth, no matter how messy it got.
So, When *Is* She Coming Back?
This is the million-dollar question, isn't it? Unfortunately, there's no concrete answer. As of the end of 2021 and beyond, Emme Rylan hasn't announced any confirmed plans to return to GH.
Soap operas are a fickle beast. Characters die, come back as ghosts, get replaced by evil twins... anything is possible. The door is always open in the world of soaps. Never say never!
So, for now, all we can do is keep watching, keep hoping, and keep sending positive vibes into the universe for a Lulu Spencer return. After all, Port Charles just isn't quite the same without her. Keep those DVRs set and fingers crossed! Maybe 2024 or even 2025 will be the year!
