What You Can Expect When Finola Hughes Brings Anna Back to ‘General Hospital’

It’s been nearly six months since General Hospital fans last saw Anna Devane, super source extraordinaire. Longtime favorite Finola Hughes took a break from the ABC soap, but Anna will be back on June 24th, ready to finally break free of that French mental institution and return to Port Charles.

Anna Devane is Taking Numbers

Anna hasn’t been quite herself since last October, when she was kidnapped out of her own car and placed in Wyndemere’s sub-basement. During all the months that Anna was locked down there, she never realized she was on Spoon Island, but instead, she thought she was in France. After all, Pascal (Marc Forget) was the man who brought her everything she needed while speaking to her in French.

By January, Anna found herself in France after Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) had Pascal deposit her there. She turned up in a French mental institution, where she has been languishing ever since. Her family doesn’t understand why she keeps insisting that Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) is still alive. When we next see Anna on Wednesday, she will be talking with her doctor, but by the end of next week, she is set to make a very bold move.

Anna will prove she has been busy using her international source skills while she was away, figuring out who “Nathan” (Ryan Paevey) really is. In fact, she may become more hardened, according to head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten.

“We’ll begin to see the long-term effects of her imprisonment and gaslighting at Cullum’s hands,” the writers said in an interview with Soap Opera Digest. “Any happy reunions with friends and family are colored by counsel from a less-than-reliable source. We’ll see echoes of Anna’s earliest incarnation as she returns to Port Charles with deadly intentions.”

As longtime fans know, Anna was first introduced to the Port Charles scene as a double agent for the DVX. Could Anna now be someone to be wary of? That would certainly put a different twist on things…
