Save these dates, General Hospital fans: Tristan Rogers resurfaces as Robert Scorpio this Thursday, April 13. Dynasty diva Emma Samms pops up again as his ex-squeeze Holly Sutton on May 1. And Finola Hughes returns as the elusive Anna Devane Scorpio on May 12.
By the way, GH is now officially confirming Finola's comeback, which TVGuide.com first reported last week — even if a certain other soapy site did post a "Finola Returns!" report right after mine went online, lamely trying to pass off my scoop as their own. But I digress....
GH says we should expect Anna to literally "drop in" while Luke and Robert are on the run from the law during another trip to the fictional Maarkam Islands.
"I am very excited to be reprising

Thanks to all the returning favorites from its '80s heyday, General Hospital enjoyed a sweet ratings boost during February sweeps. Naturally, the ABC sudser is hatching plans for fans to see much more of Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) and Emma Samms (Holly Sutton). As GH co-head writer Bob Guza recently told the New York Times: "I'm going to put Luke, Robert and Holly all in a sleeping bag on a mountain. One sleeping bag! Not coincidentally, [this will happen during] May sweeps."

Anthony Geary, General Hospital
It's easy to grouse about the annual Daytime Emmy nominations: "One Life to Live's Robin Strasser was robbed! Why is Passions treated like the stepchild of soaps? And who voted for that so-so star(let)?" But nobody could object to the outstanding-lead-actor nod for General Hospital's talented Anthony Geary. In this exclusive interview, TVGuide.com asks the most recognizable man in daytime TV about Emmy, the return of Holly and Robert Scorpio, and those endless Genie Francis rumors.

Hide your gardeners! Maria Conchita Alonso (Kingpin, Chasing Papi) has been cast on Desperate Housewives as Gabrielle's mother, Lucia, in an episode slated to air Feb. 19. In semirelated prime-time sudser news, Dynasty alum Emma Samms is returning to her daytime roots, reprising her role as General Hospital's Holly. (But how funny if GH had recast with Pamela Sue Martin?) For more on that, check out today's Soaps News column.

Hungry for some happier General Hospital gossip? A very reliable rumor has it that Emma Samms is reprising her classic '80s role as Holly Scorpio. So Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) won't be coming back to Port Charles alone!
One caveat: Despite what you may've read elsewhere on the Internet, Samms won't stay in town for six weeks. A source tells TVGuide.com that her return is planned to be
much briefer, at least for now. Even shorter than Samms' stint in thigh-high hooker boots on the
Melrose Place spin-off,
Models, Inc.? (Side note: SoapNet
totally needs to acquire that sudser for reruns!)
