The recent days on the ABC soap opera General Hospital had been filled with chaos and tension all around Port Charles, but the episode aired on December 4, 2024, brought a bittersweet moment as Laura finally got to meet her daughter Lulu, who had been in a coma for over four years.
A clip of the scene shared by the official Facebook handle of the show gathered appreciation from the fans, celebrating the mother-daughter reunion and the acting of Alexa Havens as the new Lulu.
“Great acting,” wrote a fan.
General Hospital: The mother-daughter reunion
In a moment that General Hospital fans had been looking forward to, Laura Spencer opened her front door and found her daughter Lulu standing in the living room, awake and healthy after being in a coma for years.
The emotional reunion left Laura almost speechless. As they hugged, Lulu told Laura that even while she was in a coma, she could feel her mother’s presence, which made Laura tear up.
Laura was worried at first that Lulu might be overwhelmed by all the changes and events she had missed over the past four years. But she was relieved to have her daughter back home and safe.
However, Lulu’s return brought some problems. She mentioned that Cyrus Renault, her maternal uncle, had been talking to her doctors about moving her to South Carolina. Laura vowed to take legal steps to make sure Cyrus couldn’t interfere in Lulu’s life anymore.
Lulu was curious about her new family relationships and asked about Cyrus. Laura told her that he was her half-brother but said she wanted to stay away from him. Lulu then thought about her children, especially her son Rocco, who had become a teenager while she was gone. She was excited to see her daughter Charlotte again, and asked Laura to contact Valentin Cassadine to help arrange a meeting.
Before Laura could share the difficult news about Charlotte, Kevin Collins came in and had a warm reunion with his stepdaughter. When Laura asked about Ace, Kevin said he was with the nanny. This made Lulu wonder who Ace was, so Laura explained that Ace was her new nephew through Nikolas Cassadine. The heartbreak deepened when Laura revealed that Spencer Cassadine had died.
Even though Lulu was grieving, she was still determined to get back in touch with Charlotte. Laura finally told Lulu that Valentin had taken Charlotte away in July and that she had asked Anna Devane for help to find them.
Finding out about Anna and Valentin's relationship added another layer of shock for Lulu, who seemed increasingly overwhelmed by the revelations of the evening. Laura decided not to tell Lulu that Anna had accidentally shot Charlotte last Halloween.
Lulu’s determination to find Charlotte led Laura to insist on taking her to General Hospital when she noticed Lulu’s unsteady condition.
