General Hospital fans are absolutely raving about Alexa Havins, the fresh face now bringing Lulu Spencer back to life on the iconic soap. After years in a coma, Lulu has awakened, and with her return, Alexa’s portrayal is quickly becoming a fan favorite. The latest episode saw her dramatic reunion with family, setting the stage for what could be a deeply emotional new chapter for Lulu — and fans are here for it!
In Tuesday’s heart-wrenching episode, Lulu, played by Alexa Havins, woke up in the aftermath of a tense confrontation with her uncle, Cyrus Renault. Confused and disoriented, she ran from the hospital and found her way to the Quartermaine mansion, where she was reunited with her son Rocco and her ex, Dante, the father of her child. As the episode unfolded, Lulu’s emotional reunion with her brother Lucky led to a crushing revelation: her father Luke had passed away while she was in a coma, and her brother Nicolas was in jail. The heartbreak of learning about Luke’s death sent Lulu into an emotional spiral, and Alexa’s raw portrayal of the moment had fans tearing up alongside her.
On a General Hospital subreddit, fans were quick to praise Alexa Havins’ performance, with one user calling her acting “top-notch.” Another chimed in, “Looks like they finally got a recast right!!” Over on X (formerly Twitter), the love continued to pour in. One fan praised, “Alexa is a great recast. She took her assignment, did her homework, and is bringing intensity and passion to Lulu’s character. Good for her!” Another added, “Alexa Havins cries and gets emotional so well. Her voice breaks and it’s just right.” The consensus is clear: fans are loving this fresh take on Lulu, and it’s clear that Alexa is channeling the character’s essence in a way that’s resonating with long-time viewers.
Alexa steps into the role after Emme Rylan, who played Lulu from 2013 until 2020, when the character was placed in a coma following an explosion. Prior to Emme, Julie Marie Berman portrayed Lulu from 2005 to 2013. Now, with a new face and fresh energy, Alexa is making the role her own. Lulu’s journey back to life began when Sam donated part of her liver for a transplant, saving her after cirrhosis put her in dire need of a new organ.
With Alexa Havins now taking the reins, fans are eager to see how Lulu’s return will impact Port Charles. Will she find her way back to her old life? What will her emotional reunion with her family lead to next? One thing’s for sure — Alexa Havins has won over General Hospital fans, and they can’t wait to see more of what she brings to Lulu’s story. Stay tuned, because Lulu’s return is just the beginning of what’s sure to be a rollercoaster ride of drama and emotion!
