General Hospital News Update: Finola Hughes Celebrates A Super Spy Anna Devane GH Milestone

ABC General Hospital spoilers reveal that the ABC sudser is celebrating Daytime Emmy Award winner Finola Hughes’ arrival to the show set in Port Charles, NY, 35 years ago.

Hughes debuted back on April 10, 1985, and the show would have celebrated the milestone this spring but the coronavirus pandemic forced the Los Angeles set to go dark and the show went on hiatus. It began filming again in August and now the show is taking the time to honor the leading lady.

The show tweeted out a wonderful tribute to Finola to mark her anniversary: “We would have preferred to celebrate @finolahughes’ 35th Anniversary in April, but COVID-19 had other plans. The cast & crew surprised her with a belated celebration this past week, just in time for her birthday. Please help us congratulate Finola on 35 years as Anna Devane! #GH.”

The show posted a wonderful picture of the cast and crew, with Finola in the middle of the scrum. Everyone is wearing their COVID mask and everyone has on a black t-shirt that reads “FIN 35” in white letters.

Anna is a complicated character. Both she and Robert were WSB agents but she betrayed everyone by becoming a double agent.

Many fans will remember the enchanting scene in which Robert discovered that he was little Robin Scorpio’s (Kimberly McCullough) father. Anna never told him they were parents and soon the family made up for a lost time.
