On Tuesday, General Hospital fans were left shocked after hearing the show will recast a beloved character in a shock decision.

The Bring It On: All or Nothing actress confirmed the news on her Instagram Stories.
She wrote, “Yes it is true. GH has decided to recast Lulu.

In a later social media post, Emme made necklaces with her daughter to distract herself from the sad news.
The Hollywood actress shares three children with her partner Don Money.
Emme has been playing Lulu since 2013 but hasn’t been on the show since 2020.

One commented, You’re the best. They’re making a mistake and it’s s****y they left you hanging for 4 years without telling you they weren’t bringing you back.
“I already hate the new Lulu because it’s not Emme Rylan.”
Another said, “It’s so ridiculous that they recast you. It’s a mess at that place. They keep recasting iconic roles and it’s making me mad.
