Even after you rehearse you don't! is one of a kind." You never know what's going to come from Kin! I mean, minute to minute you don't. We really got along, we have really good chemistry I love the way he works. " familiar faces because I have looked at years and years and years and years of GH, and I know everybody!" When it came to working with Heather's former love interest Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner), Mills said, "What a great guy. Mills shared how excited she was to work with her new GH castmates. And I try to throw in as much of her crazy as I possibly can." "I've got to look like her! It's my tribute. For one thing, she wanted to make sure that she had Heather's trademark dark eyebrows and blond hair. Mattson played Heather from 1980-1983 and returned for several stints in 2004, 2012-2013, 2014-2015, and 2016.įor Mills, it was important to pay homage to Mattson while interpreting the character in her own way. Georgeann LaPiere originated the role in 1976, she was replaced by Mary O'Brien in 1977. Mills is the fourth actress to play this part. In the few weeks since she made her GH debut, Heather has already started to cause mayhem by escaping police custody after a van crashed and scaring poor Cameron Webber (William Lipton) when she stopped by the diner for a BLT while on the run. It's not clear if all that cramming helped Mills when she got her first script. had to go back and look at all the crazy, insane tapes of the plots and I saw this amazing scene where Steven Lars is to Olivia and, of course, that makes Heather insane and she decides to inject Olivia with LSD" just crammed General Hospital.I just had to find out everything I could. In order to prepare for the role, Mills said, "I started watching her when she was really young. Details of why the actress was not available have not been made public. Turns out Mattson was not available to return to GH. "They called me and they said they were wanting to bring back this iconic character and I started watching the tapes of Robin Mattson and I'm like 'Why isn't Robin Mattson coming back to do this?!'", Mills shared on the Dishing With Digest podcast. The most asked one? How did Mills get the opportunity to fill the role as Heather? The casting news left fans with a lot of questions. I could be wrong & older fans might end up not happy with his portrayal but in theory he is what I associate the character as.Last month, soap fans were shocked when it was announced that Alley Mills, who is best known to soap fans for her portrayal as Pam Douglas on the CBS drama The Bold and the Beautiful, had been hired to take on the iconic role of General Hospital's Heather Webber. So just the appearance & era association make him start out on a good for me. This new Jeff who’s name I’m forgetting is recognizable though from various 80’s roles himself. The original Jeff was on before my time but I’m very aware it was the 80’s star from Macguyver. He virtually said nothing other than “Elizabeth” but for me this actor is a good fit. The other recast we got today is Jeff Weber. I’m confident she will be making her mark as Heather very quickly. We only got a snippet but it’s clear just from her few lines already that she’s going to be playing a drastically different character than those she’s known for. Both are great, but she’s been typecast for years. Playing a cookie cutter mom character similar to her Wonder Years role & Bold & the Beautiful one as well. So when I learned Alley had been hired I was initially afraid they would waste her talents as Elizabeth’s mom. This was going to be a tough one because OG Heather has always been such a perfectly played crazy, fun, diabolical character to watch. So here’s my feelings first on Alley Mills as the new Heather Webber.
