TV Insider reported on Monday, August 5 that GH placed a casting call for “Lauren”, a blonde, white female around the ages of 34 to 40 years old.
The character is described as dynamic, fiery, and beautiful who has overcome some “challenging circumstances”, but is now stronger, and is more determined than ever.
The description had “Lulu Spencer” written all over it. While the casting call’s character was named Lauren (not Lulu) it’s not unusual for soaps to place fake names for characters to keep fans wondering.

Reposting an article with her face on it from ABC Soaps In Depth on her IG Story, which speculated on the TV Insider Lulu recast report, Emme Rylan added the below comment to the post:
“Yes it is true. GH has decided to recast Lulu. Although I’m very disappointed with their choice, I am glad to finally have closure. (And thank goodness JH brought all of you people into my life! Love you guys!)”
Rylan made it no secret that she was open to returning to the show if Lulu ever “woke up” from her coma. Sadly, this won’t be the case now.
Ms. Spencer and Rylan exited storylines in 2020 after an explosion at the Floating Rib caused the condition. Rylan played Lulu from 2013 to 2020.
