General Hospital spoilers say that fans are soon going to be seeing some changes in Kristina Davis. But it’s definitely nothing to worry about as the character’s new portrayer, Kate Mansi, recently opened up about her move from Days of Our Lives to the hit ABC soap. As many fans probably already know by now, Kate has now been put on full-time contract with the show. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Kate opened up about how she got the role on General Hospital, thanks to the executive producer, Frank Valentini, and casting director Mark Teschner. She said, “They were both incredibly complimentary about my work and told me a little bit about the way General Hospital works. They said they were looking to do a recast and being a recast myself [in her previous run as DAYS’s Abigail], and then having my role recast [with Marci Miller], I’m quite sensitive to the actors [and] I asked him to tell me broadly about the subject matter of what the storyline would be before I dove into any research.”
Kate said that she was most interested in taking on the role because her character, Kristina, is bisexual and that there was also an opportunity to take part in a storyline about endometriosis. She explained, “She’s a friend of mine and someone I respect so much as an actress. I wanted to just make sure that she knew how absolutely adored she is by me and the cast and the fans, and that I would do my best to honor her work.”
When asked about Kristina’s future, Kate also said, “There will be glimmers of things that are similar and things that are really different. I appreciate the support of my fans and also Lexi’s. Something I learned as I grew up is that things aren’t always black and white, and two things can be true at the same time, so fans can love Lexi and love me, or fans can love me and love Marci, or they can love Ashley Benson [Mansi’s predecessor as Abigail] and me. There’s nowhere that’s truer than in the soap/daytime world because one doesn’t necessarily negate the other. I just feel really grateful for this opportunity and I’m excited for fans to hopefully embrace this sort of new wave of the Davis family.”
