Some guys just have all the luck, both on screen and off. One of them just happens to be General Hospital actor Van Hansis as he gets to work with some of the most talented women in the daytime television world.
General Hospital Spoilers: Here’s What Van Hansis Says About Working With Rebecca Herbst
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Van, who now plays Lucas on the hit ABC soap, opened up about working with actress Rebecca Herbst, who plays General Hospital’s head nurse, Elizabeth.
Van says that he’s so far had nothing but a positive experience working with Rebecca.
He put it this way, “When we did those scenes, I was like, ‘Does this lady actually have, like, a PhD?!’ Because she seemed to know how to do all of the medical stuff and she was literally telling me what to do, helping me out.”
“We had an actual nurse there who was helping us [as a medical advisor to make sure the scenes were performed realistically], but she didn’t need any help! She knew how to hold everything, she knew what every [piece of equipment] did.”
“But also, just her energy is so calm, so chill — good vibes, you know? And especially being a new cast member, that’s such a great thing to have, that grounding presence of somebody who can take a really potentially stressful situation like joining a show, not really knowing anything or anybody, and just make it really calm, in the best way.”
Van also says that he loves being in his new storyline with his co-star. He continued, “When we had our first scene, she had mentioned to me that Lucas and Elizabeth knew each other, but hadn’t had a lot of story together.”

“When I was on ATWT, I was in the younger crowd, and I didn’t really actually work that much with, say, Jen Landon [ex-Gwen]; I was in different stories. And I’m happy that since I’ve been playing Lucas, she and I have been working a lot together, and it’s been really, really fun.”
