According to the latest edition of Soap Opera Digest, Lexi hinted that she would definitely be open to joining another daytime television show now that it looks like her time in Port Charles is definitely over. She said, “I actually auditioned for The Young and the Restless last year when they were recasting Summer. But that was for more of, like, a blonde bombshell, which I am not. But a lot of the people I work with on General Hospital are on other soaps, and they are all people that I would love to work with again.”
What’s Next For Lexi?
Lexi also reflected a little bit about her time on General Hospital. She said, “When I think back on my whole history on the show, it really comes down to the writers and the storylines that they provided, like the domestic violence storyline and Kristina coming out as sexually fluid. I’m so lucky that the writers entrusted me with the storylines because those stories are so important; they are the type of stories that I want to share, that I want to write and produce.”
