Casting
Former Y&R Alum, Elizabeth Hendrickson, who has been previously Daytime Emmy-nominated, will begin her GH run as a prosecutor in Carly’s (Laura Wright) case. Fans have been very excited about the addition of Hendrickson to the ABC daytime drama series, because she will be reunited with many of her former castmates from All My Children and Young & the Restless, including Billy Miller (Drew), William deVry (Julian), and more.

Shelly Altman, co-head writer of General Hospital, told Soap Opera Digest, “Margaux doesn’t believe that Carly was insane, and of course, she’s right. She doesn’t like anyone using the court to their advantage in this way.”

In August 14, 2018, Executive Producer Frank Valentini was interviewed by Michael Fairman. He revealed he brought on Elizabeth Hendrickson (Margaux) as a potential love interest for Drew. He said "I knew her work from All My Children and The Young and the Restless, and she is a phenomenal actress and we are really lucky to have her. Margaux has got the flash drive with Drew’s memories on it and that is an important piece of information to have."
