As Nancy Lee Grahn recovers from minor spinal surgery, she offered her support for Stephanie Erb, the actress who will make Alexis her own for a bit this spring (via Soap Opera Digest).
"My dear #GHers. All's well sweet ones. Out for a bit. Stephanie is a champ. Be back soon. Xoxo," Grahn tweeted when news of the recast broke.
She also gave an update on her condition on her public Facebook page. "Surgery was a Godsend. The brilliant Dr. Matthew Chong at Kerlan Jobe swiftly removed the pesky cyst that parked itself on my facet joint in between a cluster of nerves on top and one seriously mean one on the bottom," she wrote. "I'm off for another week, 21/2 in all, been shuffling around the house and of course dropping everything I touch because I can't bend down."
Grahn is not the first "GH" performer to have their character temporarily recast this year. When Inga Cadranel (Harmony) had COVID, Priscilla Garita played the character for a few episodes (via Soaps In Depth). Leslie Charleson (Monica) had to be replaced for one episode for an undisclosed reason with Holly Kaplan on March 15 (via Soap Opera Digest). When Sofia Mattsson (Sasha) had to take some time off, her sister, Helena Mattsson, filled in as a pinch hitter (via Soap Opera Digest).
