‘General Hospital’ Favorite Marks On-Screen Anniversary with Heartfelt Message

For three years, Kristen Vaganos has portrayed the role of Molly Lansing Davis on the ABC soap opera General Hospital, and now Vaganos has taken to social media to celebrate the achievement.

Vaganos took to Instagram, posting screenshots of various moments throughout the years along with the caption, “Indulge me. Today marks three years of playing Molly! We’ve been through a lot, and she do be making faces!”

In the comment section, Rick Hearst, who plays Vaganos on-screen father Ric Lansing, shared how quickly time flies and how proud of Vaganos he was, writing, “It’s hard to grasp that 3 years have flown by. From the day I met you, I knew you were the real deal, and you’ve continued to bring your immense talent and craft into any scene and make anyone who plays with you keep up. I stand in awe, filled with pride and gratitude to be your TV “pops.” Congratulations, Koukla! Love you to pieces. 👏 💕.”

Molly was born on screen to her parents Ric (Hearst) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) on November 10, 20005. Various child actors played the role until 2009, when the character was aged slightly and Haley Pullos assumed the role.

Pullos would portray Molly until 2023, when she was arrested for a suspected DUI following a severe car accident. The role was then quickly recast with Holiday Mia Kriegel and Brooke Anne Smith before Vaganos took over.

Since assuming the role, Vaganos has taken part in some of the soap opera’s biggest storylines, with Molly and her partner TJ’s fertility journey leading to Molly’s sister Kristina becoming a surrogate for the pair before losing the child and causing emotional strain for the entire family.

Molly’s latest storyline sees the character embracing her roots as a writer, penning a modern western romance, inspired in part by her romance with Cody Bell (Josh Kelly).

General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams weeknights on Hulu and Disney+.
