General Hospitalfans: you’re going to want to listen to this.

Watch as Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) gets a call from her long-lost love.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY How did your role atGeneral Hospitalcome about?

I reached out to him.

I sent a text very respectfully saying, ‘Hey, I’ve got this extra time.

Frank just went with it.

I was really, really excited.

When he responded, it was one of the most exciting things.

When did you start production?

What can you say about the way Drew Cain first shows up to Port Charles?

Drew’s been on the show before with a different actor.

So I’m reprising the role.

I don’t see Sam.

I actually call her to say I’m in trouble.

He reaches out for a good reason.

She’s obviously incredibly important to him.

He reaches out to Sam because he really believes that help will follow.

Is it scary to take over a role that was originated by somebody else?

Or do you like how there is a lot of stuff to draw from?

I think it’s a little bit of both.

It may be a little bit scary how the character wasn’t on the canvas that long.

Billy Miller and Steve Burton both played him for a bit.

I feel like there’s enough that has been sort of untapped.

There is an opportunity for me to bring my own take and version of this great character.

So what’s the nature of your deal?

I think I’ll just say I’m under contractGH.I don’t want to get in trouble!

I’m super humbled and excited to be there.

I was onAll My Childrenfor many years back in the day.

Coming back to ABC daytime, there’s nostalgia.

It brought back a lot of really exciting memories.

So how many Hannah Swenson mysteries have you made for Hallmark?

This is my sixth.

There were five under the title ofMurder She Baked.

What can we expect in this new one?

It’s really fun.

Mike while Alison plays Hannah Swensen.

She happens to be very good at solving mysteries.

I was annoyed but eventually, a relationship develops.

They’re engaged to be married so there are little hurdles and challenges going on with that.

Sweet Revenge: A Hannah Swenson Mysterypremieres tonight at 9 p.m.

ET on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
