Sarah Joy Brown asked the fans if they wanted her to return to the show and the reaction was truly incredible.
Many actors have played multiple characters on General Hospital that aren’t necessarily twins. Roger Howarth brought his One Life to Live character, Todd Manning, to Port Charles for a while, then later played Robert “Franco” Frank and later Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt. Sarah Joy Brown has also played more than one character. She originated the role of Carly in 1996, exiting the part in 2001, only to return as Claudia Zacchara in 2008. Now, fans are wondering if she might go back to Port Charles again.
Anything Is Possible
On X, formerly Twitter, Brown re-tweeted a post that stated, “You could always do a 3rd character. You were amazing as both Carly and Claudia. Or, Claudia could come back. It is a soap — anything is possible.”
I know it’s a soap and anything is possible. But be honest, do y’all really like it when a an actor comes back to the same show playing three different characters? Does the suspension of disbelief hold up for you? https://t.co/jtMahR98CF

She Could Be a Quartermaine
It’s conceivable that Brown was approached by GH to return and decided to test the waters with the fans to see if they would accept her in a new role. In any case, the fan response was overwhelmingly in favor of a return, with one fan commenting, “If the actor is good, then yes. You did a great job of it, as did Roger Howarth.” Brown replied, “Oooooh! I love his work!”
Another fan wrote, “I’d like it if you came back to GH. Great acting is great acting. Are you coming back to GH?” Brown kept it cryptic with the response, “I’m just asking hypothetical questions.” And one follower summarized everyone’s thoughts with, “No matter what character, I would still watch, and millions of fans would in a heartbeat. 😍👏 You could play Skye Quatermaine. There are not enough Q’s on the canvas.”
Brown was receptive to that last comment and remarked that she missed working with the actors who played the Quartermaines. Only time will tell if she truly returns.
