Lulu Spencer is a character played by Emme Rylan on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. Lulu was a part of the show from 1994 until an accident in 2020 led her into a coma. Her journey on the show was marked by her evolution from a kid to a responsible mother. Lulu Spencer is the daughter of Luke and Laura Spencer.

After Lulu went into a coma, her role in the show diminished. However, in a recent episode aired on July 19, 2024, Laura and Dante paid a visit to Lulu. This sudden and surprising visit, along with other plotlines that could potentially lead to Lulu’s revival, has sparked speculation among fans.

Despite these developments, there has been no official announcement or hint from the writers regarding her potential return.

The character was first played by Amanda and Kerrianne Harrington from 1994 to 1995, followed by Clare and Maribel Moses in 1995, and Alysin and Kelli Griffith between 1995 and 2001.

In 2001, Stephanie Allen took over the role, playing Lulu until 2003, Tessa Allen then portrayed her from 2004 to 2005, followed by Julie Marie Berman from 2005 to 2013. Emme Rylan took over in 2013 and has continued to play the role.


What leads to the speculations behind Lulu’s return to General Hospital?

In the recent episode of General Hospital that aired on Friday, July 19, 2024, Laura (Lulu's mother) and Dante (her love interest) visited Lulu, who is in Coma. While talking to her in that state, they both mentioned that they wanted her to wake up. They also said that her children, Rocco Falconeri and Charlotte Cassadine, need her.

However, it is not clear whether the scene was just shown with no further developments or if it was a hint at the possibility of her return to General Hospital. Fans are speculating whether Lucky might make a return to wake her sister up from the coma.

If Lulu Spencer gets out of the coma and returns to Port Charles in General Hospital, it would also raise the possibility of Charlotte's return. As viewers saw in the recent episodes, Valentin took her daughter, Charlotte, on his run from Port Charles because he couldn’t trust anyone with her.

If Lulu wakes up, then Valentin might send their daughter back to Port Charles to live a normal life rather than being on the run because of his actions.


How did Lulu end up in a coma? Brief recap

In the General Hospital episode aired on November 25, 2020, Lulu was caught in a bomb explosion, resulting in severe injuries and multiple brain injuries. After the explosion, Dante reached the Floating Rib restaurant, where he found Lulu in critical condition. He rushed her to the hospital, where Portia Robinson noticed that one of Lulu’s pupils had blown.

Portia explained the severity of her condition, as her brain had swelled and the contraction between the skull and the brain could lead to further damage. They had to perform surgery to stop any further damage and save her life.

Though Lulu survived the surgery, she remained in a coma for four years. Fans now want to see Lulu back on the show, which might happen sooner or later as per the makers’ decision.
