General Hospital is bringing in a lot of excitement to its viewers! Recently, we saw a new face on the soap when Sam and Dante flew across the ocean in search of Esme’s nanny. And behold! We were FINALLY introduced to the enigma that Maggie Fitzgerald had become on General Hospital. But that’s not all. The birds are chirping that we might see yet another new face in Port Charles. However, it might not be a new character but a recast for an existing character who is about to get SOARSed, again!
We got our hands on a rather telling video that is floating in the internet these days. The video in question features actress Emerson Kirk auditioning for a role for General Hospital. The 15-year-old actress is portraying Cassie Newman in the audition reel and can be seen interacting with a male actor. The young performers are discussing their parents and uncle in the splice. The names used in the video do not fit in with any existing character on General Hospital, so it’s difficult to say at this point which role Emerson could be auditioning for.
Guess Who Just Grew Up On General Hospital?
However, the lack of any hints has not stopped the netizens from playing the guessing game! Amongst the many names that came up, Charlotte seems to be the most popular choice. For the uninitiated, Charlotte Cassadine is Valentin Cassadine and Lulu Spencer’s daughter on General Hospital. Until now, she has been studying in a boarding school in Switzerland. It’s interesting to note that Charlotte has SORASed once before. (SORAS = Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome.) She was born on-screen in 2009, which was later revised to 2006. However, if Emerson is auditioning to be Charlotte, then she would become around 15 years of age!
General Hospital fans insist that the soap’s makers really do not care about age! A reddit user, Mickey, points that Joss was born in 2009 and was ages ahead of Spencer Cassadine, who was born in 2006! However, there are also some other young female characters on the soap that could get aged. For instance, Sonny and Carly’s daughter, Donna! But the kid is merely three years old. Can General Hospital really age her to be 15 overnight? Perhaps not! So we are back to Charlotte! Looks like we will have to remain tuned to General Hospital to find out who Emerson will be playing! Meanwhile, if you have any options in mind, please share in the comments.
