While Alexis wants Ava and Kristina to vouch for her presence, Michael is busy tracking Jacinda, who was with him briefly at the bar. Jacinda, on the other hand, is trying to extort more money out of Nina and Portia.

Elsewhere on the long-running ABC soap, Brennan is negotiating with Valentin Cassadine to get to Colette’s boss. This ensures that James Patrick Stuart will bring back Valentin to the General Hospital plot.

General Hospital: A glimpse at Charlotte’s current arc

Charlotte Cassadine, played before by Scarlett Fernadez, Amelie McLain, and AnaSofia Bianchi, has Bluesy Burke portraying the character since September 8, 2025. Scarlett’s Charlotte skipped town with her father in late 2024 as the authorities tried to bring in Valentin. During Christmas in 2024, she contacted her half-brother, Rocco, after hearing that her mother awoke from her 4-year-long coma. She spoke to Lulu on the phone and gave her the location of Prague where they met. However, when Lulu tried to reach out to Valentin and get her back, a shootout stopped the process.

Charlotte was tracked and brought back to Lulu in March 2025 by Anna and Jason. While reuniting with grandmother Laura and brother Rocco, Charlotte made limited appearances on the General Hospital storyline.

She was seen informing Lulu that she drove Scout from Lila’s to the Quartermaine mansion after the latter was upset to hear about Drew’s shootout. Charlotte also shared how she related to being alone and scared. However, Lulu explained that as a teenager, she must have boundaries. As such, the mother grounded her for a limited time and took away her driving rights. 

It is expected that recasting Charlotte will bring the character back towards the more central plot. Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, the head writers of General Hospital, spoke to TV Insider about Charlotte’s upcoming arc. 

According to the writers, the new Charlotte Cassadine will share a close friendship with other teenagers in the family, Rocco and Danny. She will also play a central role in Valentin’s upcoming storyline since she will work as the bridge to get to the imprisoned Cassadine. Moreover, Charlotte will know her importance in her father’s life and will exploit it to get what she wants.
