Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Actress Emma Samms has been dealing with the effects of long Covid, according to People, and was grateful that "General Hospital" has strict health policies and made working easy for her. 

"One of the things that makes me a lucky person...is that I've got employers who are willing to say, 'Your health is more important than anything,' and that's what I felt from Frank all along. I think that's very unusual," she told Soap Opera Digest. "Not many people would have a boss as good as he is, who genuinely made me feel that my health was more important than any show, even his show, and I'll always be incredibly grateful for that."

Samms enjoyed reuniting with Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio), too. "[Holly Sutton] and Robert have great empathy for each other and great affection and great love, without a doubt," she said. When asked about possibly returning to "General Hospital," Samms stated, "I think they've left it in a perfectly positioned place for me to come back at some point. I have not had any confirmation from them as to when or if I would be coming back." 

While the actress is open to coming back, it wouldn't be full-time since she lives in England. "But certainly, if they'll have me, I think that would be a marvelous thing!" An appreciative Samms added: "And it means a great deal to me that the fans would like to see that, as well."
