General Hospital’s Emme Rylan Reacts to Lulu Recast Bombshell
Yep. That’s gotta sting. When General Hospital blew up the Floating Rib four years ago, Emme Rylan was told that if and when Lulu emerged from the coma in which the explosion left her, she would get the call to reprise the role that she inherited from Julie Marie Berman in 2013. But when a casting notice went out for a character named Lauren who sounded an awful lot like Luke and Laura’s daughter, it would appear that Rylan got some clarity on her future in Port Charles — or, it turns out, her lack of one.
“Yes, it is true,” she tweeted. “General Hospital has decided to recast Lulu. Although I am very disappointed, I am glad to finally have closure.”

When Rylan was let go by the soap, she made it plain that the decision to leave was not hers. And now, with this on top of that… eesh. We feel for her. Whoever plays Dante’s former wife is going to step into some juicy story, what with the heroine having fallen into a coma just when the couple was on the verge of reuniting. (Her boyfriend Hot Dustin, you’ll recall, had been conveniently killed.) By now, Dante has moved on — and onto a serious romance with Sam.
Despite the letdown, Rylan was able to look on the bright side. “Thank goodness General Hospital brought all of you fabulous people into my life,” she told her followers. “Love you guys!”
