Fans of General Hospital were thrilled to see William Lipton (Cameron Webber) return to the screen, but his on-screen mom, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), and viewers alike were in for a surprise when he brought home a new girlfriend, Gretchen Ross. The character is played by none other than Indi Star—a talented newcomer with an impressive resume in music, TV, and film.
Here’s everything you need to know about this multi-talented starlet.
A Rising Star in Music and Acting
Cameron’s homecoming came with a twist: he revealed that he and Gretchen wouldn’t be staying for Christmas, as they planned to visit her family in sunny Key West. In a heartfelt conversation with his mom, Cameron shared how he’s been taking things slow with Gretchen after the emotional fallout from his breakup with Josslyn (Eden McCoy). It was a mature decision that earned Liz’s approval, adding more depth to Cameron’s evolving storyline.
But who is the actress behind Gretchen Ross?
Indi Star, born Indigo Star Carey in Boston, Massachusetts, is more than just a fresh face on General Hospital. Like William Lipton, she’s a musician with a flourishing career. Her music, including her debut album Emotion Sick and singles like Hurt a Little and Not My Problem, can be found on Spotify. The latter even features a music video showcasing her creative flair.

In 2018, she was nominated for a Young Entertainer Award for her role in the film Miscreants. This gritty drama followed a group of streetwise girls in Los Angeles who turned their lives around with the help of a street performer.

A Social Media Superstar
Beyond acting and singing, Indi has cultivated a massive social media following. Her engaging personality and creative content have won her fans worldwide. She even reunited with fellow grown-up KIDZ BOP! members in a nostalgic YouTube video with Anthony Padilla, solidifying her place as a beloved figure in pop culture.
