Serena Returns: Secrets and Schemes in Port Charles

Serena Baldwin, a significant character from General Hospital's past, is making her long-awaited return to Port Charles. The beloved character, last seen nearly a decade ago, will be portrayed by Kelly Kruger. Her return is scheduled for Thursday, July 30th, and will immediately tie into emerging storylines.

Serena's history in Port Charles is rich with drama. Born to Dominique and Scott Baldwin, she was raised by Lucy Coe after a complex surrogate situation. Her childhood included a kidnapping by relatives seeking her trust fund, leading to a tumultuous reunion. She later considered Lucy her mother and even had a sister, Christina.

After her parents' divorce, Serena moved abroad with Lucy and Kevin, and has been largely absent since. While she briefly reappeared in 2017, her presence has primarily been through mentions, including her brother Cody Bell's arrival. Currently, she is reportedly managing her trust fund while supporting environmental causes.

Her re-entry into Port Charles occurs at a pivotal moment: Michael Corinthos has just purchased shares in Deception, Lucy's successful cosmetics company. This development promises to weave Serena into the ongoing narratives surrounding Lucy and Michael, setting the stage for new conflicts and alliances.
