Kate Mansi has been essaying the role since 2023 after it was recast. Before being removed from the soap, Lexi Ainsworth played the role of Kristina on General Hospital. Kate Mansi has previously worked on soap operas like Days of Our Lives.

In the current arc of General Hospital, Kristina is carrying a child as TJ and Molly's surrogate. However, her fall into the pool has led fans to question if the pregnancy will be affected negatively. If she loses the child, TJ, Molly, and Kristina will have a very tragic arc.


Kristina is not leaving General Hospital

Although Kristina is severely injured after falling from a window and into a pool, she will not be leaving General Hospital. She has an important role to play as TJ and Molly's surrogate, apart from being involved in Sonny and Ava's court clash.

The latest episode, which aired on August 1, 2024, had fans worried about the character's fate. It showed Kristina and Ava arguing before Kristina was pushed out of a window into the Metro Court pool. She seemed injured as she floated in the pool, and her friends and family looked horrified.

While fans might take this as a sign of the character's departure, Kristina isn't going anywhere and is sure to survive the fall. However, seeing as Kristina is pregnant on the show, it is yet to be seen what effects this injury will have on her pregnancy and the child.

On the latest episode of General Hospital, Lois and Brook Lynn started by catching up over a drink. They discussed how Sonny was funding a new music label for Blaze and thought it was a good idea. Brook Lynn also toys with the possibility of pitching some innovative ideas for her career to Blaze. When Blaze arrives, Brook Lynn discusses her label idea.

Later, Blaze and Natalia meet up and share a moment. Natalia apologizes for behaving the way she did about her daughter and Kristina. Blaze tells her that she just wants to be accepted and loved unconditionally.

Meanwhile, Jordan and TJ meet at the hospital and discuss what happens if Kristina decides to keep TJ and Molly's baby. Sam and Molly also have a conversation on the same topic. Both discuss the fact that Molly has no legal or biological rights over the child. This might make matters difficult if Kristina decides to have a custody battle.

The main drama of the episode comes up when Kristina confronts Ava over her subpoena of Sonny. Kristina refuses to testify, and Ava goads her by asking what she has to hide from the court. Kristina threatens to testify against Ava instead and reveal things about Morgan and Connie.

Ava tries to grab Kristina, who backs away from her and trips on some luggage lying behind. Unfortunately, she crashes to the window and falls into the Metro Court pool, as Ava screams in horror.


Audiences can see more of Kristina's story in the next episodes of General Hospital, airing on ABC on weekdays.
