Finola Hughes ‘On Her Way Back’ to ‘General Hospital’ as Anna Devane

GH fans have been clamoring for the return of Daytime Emmy winner, Finola Hughes in her soap-famous role of super spy Anna Devane. When Anna was last seen, she had been gaslighted by the WSB and made to believe that Cesar Faison was alive and taunting her, and his evil son, Peter August!

Now comes word from Chris McKenna, the actor who plays WSB Port Charles bureau chief, Jack Brennan, who should definitely be in the know! In a recent fan interaction on x, a viewer noted how much Anna is needed at this point to blow open the skullduggery of Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota).

McKenna jumped in the thread, and exclaimed, “Finola is on her way back!” That was music to General Hospital fans ears who, along with her on-screen granddaughter Emma Drake (Braedyn Bruner), have been devastated by the last time they saw Anna in a psychiatric clinic in France!

Hughes has been known to take extended breaks from the soap, and even though fans were concerned back in February when her name went MIA from the contract actor credits, it has been normal fare for her to take time off.

Also, currently taking time off is Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) who is currently on an extended hiatus till he returns to tape all-new episodes of GH in the summer.

Kirsten Storms (Maxie) also took a previous extended hiatus when she moved to Tennessee. Now, the status of Storms is in question again, since she does not appear to be on any recent episodes of the soaps. She did pop up on April 9th via her Instagram with an update on her devices being hacked after moving to Tennessee last year. Storms allegedly shared that her cell phone, internet, and iCloud account were  compromised.

So, looking forward to the return of Finola Hughes? Do you hope Anna snaps out of it, and will be back to our super spy self and bring down the bad guys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
