General Hospital News: Fans React To Kate Mansi Joining Port Charles
According to reports, Kate will be making her debut the week of May 22. Needless to say, soon after the announcement was made that Kate would be replacing Lexi as the new Kristina, the internet sure did have a lot to say about the matter. Some commented with, “I love Kate Mansi, but I’m not sure about her as Kristina (I think she’d make a better Lulu, although my ultimate casting wish for that character is fellow Days Abby Marci Miller). And I’m trying to picture her interacting with the rest of the Davis coven….I’m not seeing it, but I’m keeping an open mind cuz I know she can act the hell outta something if given the material.”
Another fan wrote, “While I am gutted for Lexi Ainsworth⏤who I’ve only liked since her return in 2015⏤I cannot hide my excitement at Kate Mansi being cast in the role, especially since I never saw Mansi returning to daytime, especially on another soap opera outside of Days of Our Lives,” along with, “They did this to Lexi years ago and recast her and with a flop of an actress. They then brought Lexi back. I love Lexii! And that they never did anything with her is a travesty!”
