General Hospital spoilers indicate that she might be one of the most beautiful and multi-talented stars on daytime television, but even Finola Hughes admits that she still gets nervous when it comes to certain scenes! The veteran actress, who is best known for her role as Anna Devane on General Hospital, said that if there’s one thing she can’t master, it’s dual roles.
General Hospital Spoilers: Star Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) Opens Up About On Set Challenges
Finola told Soap Opera Digest, “Other people can do dual roles really well. People like Jon Lindstrom and David Canary and the amazing Martha Byrne, who killed it. I used to watch her and think, ‘Thank God, I don’t have to do that!’ And then, one day, I had to! Normally, I just get on with stuff; I get up to set and I am ready to play, but this just throws me into this tailspin of uncontrollable terror! Jon Lindstrom just breezes through, Genie Francis comes up, does her scenes with both of them, everybody’s happy, they come down and have lunch.”
And while her co-stars might make it look like it’s a walk in the park, Finola admits that she can’t get over her nerves! Thankfully, she’s got a lot of good co-stars and friends like Michael Easton who have helped walk her through some of the more difficult scenes.
She added, “Me, I’m in the corner agonizing! Thank goodness for Michael Easton. Normally, when we work, we are joking, having fun. But he went very silent. He just allowed me my neurosis and supported as best he could and said calming things like, ‘Can I get you a cup of tea?’ He also issued statements as you would when coaching a Little League team like, ‘You’re doing great!’ Michael is very patient. He was wonderful.”
