The connection between Genoa City and Port Charles grows this morning with the breaking news that has been confirmed by various sources and Soap Opera Digest.

Marcy Rylan has been cast as the new coveted role of Lulu Spencer on General Hospital replacing the departing Julie Marie Berman!

Now in addition to that piece of casting news, it appears that Rylan has chosen to now go by the name “Emme” Rylan and has dropped the “Marcy” from her name.

Rylan has been a fan favorite for her roles on both Guiding Light and The Young and the Restless and was recently brought back to the CBS soap after being let-go late last year as Abby Newman.

Let us know what you think of the casting choice of Emme Rylan as the new Lulu?

I adore her! Loved her on GL and welcome here to GH. I can see her more as Maxie than Lulu, tho. But am thrilled to have her!

Wow…..

this stuff… never cease to amaze me… always something to process…

so what? she was brought back to Y&R ????

I honestly was thinking…. who would they re-cast as Lulu?

This is going to work…… “EMME” aka Marcy Rylan… is natural, adorable, likeable.. has that innate sense… and doesn’t seem to be acting…. she’s in the scene… and this could bode real well for GH and Dante…

CHEERS TO HOW MUCH I LOVED GUIDING LIGHT….

Marcy Rylan and the ubber lovely captivating Beth Chamberlain…. mother/daughter duo of springfield.

Wonder if there is any possibility at all that Prospect Park could bring back GL after OLTL and AMC prove successful in a couple of years?

Totally agree, Patrick! Loved GL sooo much!

Hasn’t Emme been great on GH? Love her!

Wow,an actor leaving Y&R to come to GH,now that’s a switch.Since I don’t watch Y&R,I will have to wait until I see her as Lulu to know if I like her or not.

Not really, since Genie Francis also went from Y&R to GH. This is really great casting. Unexpected since they just brought Abby back onto the canvas but a welcome surpirse. I think she will fit in great with the Spencer clan and have smoking chemistry with DZ. Nice choice.

tim replied March 6th, 2013 at 11:38 am
Genie didn’t leave Y&R to return to GH.Jill Phelps fired her back in Sept,and she didn’t return to GH until recently.If she hadn’t been let go,she would probably still be on Y&R.

CTwildheart replied March 6th, 2013 at 12:04 pm
You can’t count Genie, since she started at GH and then went to other shows (like Ceara on AMC) before Y&R.

I love her as Abby… but I was thinking of who would be a great recast for Lulu and because I love her as Abby and was glad she was back… I did not consider her… but now that I heard this… I think it’s great!!! She will be a great Lulu!!! She is shorter so she will work great with Dante and she actually looks like she could be a daughter to Laura and Luke!!! This is great for Emme because she gets to work with Genie and Tony who are two of the best in the business! I think she is lucky because she is going to the best soap GH!!! Way to go Emme and way to go GH!!!

Patrick replied March 6th, 2013 at 10:24 pm

who’d a thunk? huh?

she’s a great actor…. who holds her own… and acting chops right their… with the big wigs…..

I loved her on Guiding Light…. as Lizzie Sjpaulding.
I loved her on Y&R… as Abby …..

now… here she is as the new Lulu…..

she’s got that mystique….. a refreshing au naturale…..

i was “worried” about finding that someone… for Dante….

whew…. when you least expect it….

I think it is AWESOME! Marcy definitely knows how to play a spitfire with spunk that Lulu is and I have a hunch she will have chemistry with Dante and the Spencer family.

How sweetly ironic it is, isn’t it that JFP fired Genie Francis and Marcy, hired Marcy back but only on recurring and now GH has snatched them both and they will be playing mother and daughter no less.

I watch both Y&R and GH but I know JFP’s track record with soaps and I know she is going to keep making mistakes with Y&R so if GH benefits I am all for it!

Reply
Jules replied March 6th, 2013 at 9:19 pm
I am probably more curious to see her chemistry with Tony and Genie, and even Tyler and Jonathan, than anyone else. This will be the teller for me.

She will no doubt get along great with the rest of the cast. I could see her and Kristen Storms really hitting it off. And what a lucky girl! Having played the daughter of Phillip Spaulding (granddaughter of Alan Spaulding), daughter of TGVN and now, the daughter of the greatest super couple in soap history. Some girls have all the luck!

I hate GH and yet I find myself excited by this amazing casting choice. FV just gets things done. He is a mover and a shaker in the business and makes the things he wants happen. YR wouldn’t commit, so GH stole their second to last Abbot right underneath their noses. YR thought they were being clever by bringing her back without a contract, keeping her close but not having to pay her like she was. They included her in their 40th anniversary promo and cast pic but keep her role as a drop-in gig. But here GH was, offering her a sweet role and deal just in time. Good for her!

I won’t go back to the show, but my curiosity of her in the role has me peaked. I don’t think I’ve ever been as interested in watching Lulu as I will be with her in the role (for the first little while anyway until the novelty wears off and my anger towards the show moves beyond my excitement for Emme joining).

Reply
Patrick replied March 6th, 2013 at 10:39 pm
more than any thing…. I love your 2nd paragraph….

Luck! Lucky! Luckiest!

to be surrounded by Guiding Light…. I can’t help it…. this is where i first started watching her…. she was the best with Beth Chamberlain….. this mother/daughter duo…. in Springfield.

yeah, she’s racking it up…. the accolades of acting with ubber talent…. and is a standout in the newbie young talent….

she was amazing with Eileen Davidson…. Ashley and Abby! Ta-Da…

—————

I was wondering what was going to become of Dante as well…. this is a coupe that I hope works.

about how to play her. is what i meant to say. dont most actors in anything need to know something first about the character b4 the just jump in and say the dialouge.

Patrick replied March 6th, 2013 at 10:47 pm
if she has that chemistry with Dante… that’s 1/2 the “job”….

2ndly… and this is – don’t sweat it – but… a must…. that mystique and energy of being Luke and Laura’s daughter…. that Julie Marie Berman “captured”… I enjoyed Luke’s tenderness and savvy scenes with Lulu.

i was also worried… Laura needs that connection…. pronto… with out… acting it all out with “just” Luke… you know what i mean…. they have to savor this family’s availability….

GH! Please keep Bobbie on – for a LONG TIME.

I will try to keep a open mind because when I think of her I think of Abby the spoiled rich girl, Lulu is more down to earth and was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Reply
Patrick replied March 6th, 2013 at 10:50 pm
well, if you think back… on those who watched “emme” on guiding light…

that would be quite the spectrum…

Lulu would fall in between…

the spauldings… were rich… but they didn’t treat, nor did lizzie act that way…

Lizzie

Lulu

Abby

My very first thought was Marcy (emme?) as Maxie, too. I’m fine with her as Lulu, although she’ll really have to spread her acting wings to bring that uptight seriousness to the role. What really disturbs me is that it seems that JFP is hell-bent on wiping the canvas clean of the Abbott family. I’m really, really trying to like Y & R these days; it’s been around all of my life, but I cant seem to get into these new characters.

Home run! Marcy was underused at Y&R and under appreciated. I actually thought of her as the LULU recast before this was announced and I am sure that GH fans will love her. She is a great actress and will bring life to LULU and she will be amazing in her scenes with Dante, Luke, and Laura. People will forget all about Julie just like the actress who USED to play Kathrine/Kate. Good move GH!

She can do it. I’m glad that she has a contract now. That was a very clever move by GH to get her. I know Jen Lilley had been talked about. Either actress can do it, but I am happy Emme will still be on my screen.

And in case anyone was interested, she pronounces Emme like the letter ‘M,’ not like Emmy.

Well as a Y&R fan I am saddened by this news. I was just loving having MR or should I say ER back as Abby. I get why she would want to take this plum role that is most likely contract over staying with recurring status, but she was bringing the humor the Abbott /Newman family so desperately needed. I wish her well, but will miss her as Abby.

Do we know if the Y&R will be recasting Abby and who might it be?

Emme Ryan is certainly beautiful …. I think the real test will be her chemistry with Dante. If ths works out, there shouldn’t be a problem. Of course I will miss Julie who played Lulu …. I love her and Dante together …. they made a nice couple. But if Dante and the other cast members of GH accept her …. then I think there won’t be any problems. But it all remains to be seen. So many cast members are leaving GH … first Jason, now Steve, Barash, what is the reason for the sudden departure of these handsome young men from GH. I know the reasons they have given …. but am wondering if these are the real reasons???? Sure will miss these guys!!!!!

Being a fan of Y&R I will miss Emme Rylan aka Abby Newman. Hearing that he is now going to be the new Lulu Spencer on General Hospital is not right, I was hoping that they would keep here on and make the story line more juicy with the new cop in town. But it looks like the mind is made up and she will be the new Lulu Spencer from what the web is saying. Emme Rylan aka Abby Newman will be missed wish it was not true. For a big fan of y&r .

Now, I love Emme but at the same time, I don’t know how well the role of Lulu is going to work out in her favour. It’s going to be a struggle for her, since she’s been somewhat type-cast during her time in Daytime. I’m hoping this works out for the best for her. Hopefully she works out well with the cast, etc.

I think Rylan is wonderful. She was perfect as both Lizzy on Guiding Light and as Abby on Y&R.
Since Y&R (truthfully, JFP) fired her as a contract player and only rehired her as recurring I think she was smart for taking the role of Lulu.

I doubt she will have any trouble taking over the role…she seems to have instant chemistry with anyone she acts opposite. Frankly, I always found JB a bit boring…sometimes annoying…and never really gave a hoot about the character of Lulu. Now, maybe there will be a bit more life in the character.

I don’t like it..she is not Lulu and she is better as Abby….bring our real Lulu back and Jason. Who is trying to ruin this long running soap that so many people love and have loved for years ? Are they trying to lose ratings ? Why fix something that is not broken!!!!

This “new” Lulu does not have the spark and energy of the “old” Lulu. Do not like the change nor the story line.

I honestly hate the new Lulu I agree with some people that I wish to have Julia back I mean she was one of the reason why I watch this show since All my Children n One life to Live went off the air on ABC. Every time now when I watch the part when it’s about LuLu and Dante Im sorry but the new LuLu just really makes me mad and I just want her scene to end n want to see more about Bre n Patrick and the “baby.” But is Robin coming back because remember we seen her alive n held hostage? i want her to come back n b with her husband Patrick n her daughter. Also to kick Bre to the curve but Sabrina is nice but still i also want Robin back. I’m so happy to see Nicholas back n to see what happens to him and Elizabeth. Anyways I really miss Julia and I wish she could come back because I really don’t see the Lulu in Emme it just not the Lulu that we all know and love. Julia please come back!

Its always hard to get use to change especially when you have watched each soap as long as I have and have favorites characters & the actors who play them. I just want everyone to be happy. And, I also have been hoping they wouldbring Guiding Light back and have a little hope now that OLTL is coming back on…it would also be great if they would resurrect Another World which was the 30-year running soap they replaced with that really weird soap, I refuse to even mention the name of it!!!

I like the new actress playing Abbey Newman on Y & R …. she makes more sense because she seems older. But,I have to admit I’m having a difficult time seeing Emme as Lulu at least with her having no memories of anyone. It must have been done to give those of us who are fans of both soaps to adjust to Emme now being Lulu on GH instead of Abbey Newman on Y&R.

I meant time to adjust to the change since Lulu was such a strong independent character which Abbey definately was not most of her role.

I also wish the powers at be and the actors would respect their fans enough to explain why they are leaving or left because we get attached and without fans or viewers they would not have soap opera careers at all!

If there are rumors circulating that GH is on its way out, it explains why the actor who played Jason on GH went to Y&R but why would EMME then leave Y&R???

I’ll be honest . I don’t know how else to be. I have given the recast a chance but I am seeing someone “acting” L as opposed to “being” L, amnesia/repressed memories and all. One of Julie’s strengths is a natural flow to her delivery in every scene she played and with whoever was in those scenes with her. I never felt as if I was watching an actor playing a role. Her partnerships with Dominic and AG are stellar examples of artistic/emotional connections made between people who have found that unexplainable “magic” that makes them so inevitable/unforgettable in their respective roles. Right now, Dominic is pulling the “weight” in the Lante pairing, keeping it “alive” with his urgent, but still romantic and passionate performances. He and the recast may possibly develop something that resembles a pairing, but at this moment, for me, a certain light has gone out with this young woman in the role. And while I appreciate her professionalism, she just doesn’t embody the qualities that I’ve cherished in the L that I’ve loved since Julie slipped into her “skin and bones” in 2005. And speaking only for myself, in terms of talent and range, she doesn’t come close to the standard that Julie set for this important part. It is what it is. Shame on FV and RC for their shabby treatment of Julie, L (and by extension, Dominic/D), in terms of writing and airtime for their pairing throughout 2012. Despite some lovely, hearfelt nuggets that were few and far between, I truly believe that writing Lante into a corner and then relegating them to the sidelines during their own “faux-surrogacy” story, contributed to Julie’s feeling she had no choice but to make the choice to vacate the role of L. That they are now focusing on L and D, when before they couldn’t care less about the couple, ill serves the recast with a below the surface resentment from some fans. Julie waited so patiently for material like this, graciously extending her contract. It speaks volumes that FV and RC were so disrespectful to this two time emmy winner.
