General Hospital continues to bring in new faces on the long-running ABC soap. Its latest addition is Assistant District Attorney (ADA) Justine Turner, played by Nazneen Contractor. The actress made her debut on the show on November 25, 2024, making a brief exit on December 6, 2024.
Contractor returned to Port Charles as ADA on February 25 and 26, then most recently on April 2, 2025.
The actress may be new to the series, but she has already made quite a good impression with her courtroom skills and strong presence. While GH has yet to flesh out the character of ADA, she still managed to stand out in every episode she's in.
