CONFIRMED! Finola Hughes Is on Her Way Back to General Hospital and Port Charles Is About to Get Its Queen Back
Finola Hughes is officially on her way back to General Hospital as Anna Devane. Chris McKenna confirmed it on social media and Port Charles needs her.

FINOLA HUGHES IS COMING HOME AND ANNA DEVANE IS NOT DONE YET
TL;DR: It is official. Finola Hughes is on her way back to General Hospital as Anna Devane, confirmed by her onscreen counterpart Chris McKenna on social media. Anna has been offscreen battling a condition that had her believing Faison was still alive, and Port Charles has been missing its queen. The wait is almost over.
Jack Brennan Said It Himself
When a fan posted “I miss Anna” on X, Chris McKenna, who plays Jack Brennan on General Hospital, did not hesitate. He replied with five words that have the entire fandom screaming: “Finola is on her way back!”
Finola is on her way back!

That is not a rumor. That is not speculation. That is Anna Devane’s love interest confirming her return directly to fans.
Finola Hughes has been offscreen while Anna Devane has been dealing with a condition that had her believing Cesar Faison was still alive. Emma Scorpio-Drake recently told Dante Falconeri that there have been no signs of improvement in her grandmother’s condition, and the toughest part is that Anna still believes Faison is out there. Meanwhile, Josslyn Jacks dropped a bombshell about The Crystalline Conspiracy book and its connection to Anna, and that thread has been dangling ever since.

Port Charles Needs Her
Let us be very clear about the state of things in Port Charles right now. Valentin Cassadine is hiding in Carly Spencer‘s attic. Jenz Sidwell is blackmailing Laura Collins and framing Sonny Corinthos. The WSB is everywhere. Britt Westbourne is being held hostage by Sidwell’s operation. Ross Cullum is lurking with Faison’s book and cigarillos. And Anna Devane, the one woman in Port Charles who has spent her entire career dismantling exactly this kind of chaos, has been sidelined.
Not anymore.
No return date has been confirmed yet, but when Finola Hughes walks back through that door, Port Charles is going to feel it. Anna Devane has unfinished business with Valentin, with the WSB, with Cullum, and with whatever Faison’s legacy has left behind. And the city she loves is in more danger right now than it has been in years.
Welcome home, Finola. We have missed you more than words can say.
Anna Devane is coming back to a Port Charles that is barely holding together. Do you think she goes after Valentin first or Sidwell? Sound off below!
WATCH THIS: Will Anna reunite with Valentin?
@soapoperamag Are Valentin and Carly HOT or NOT? I like them, but only for now. A short fling is FIRE but long-term? That would be a no from me. They have a ton of chemistry but they just don't fit as people. Carly belongs back with Sonny and Valentin and Anna are a match made in heaven. What do YOU think though? #GH #GeneralHospital ♬ original sound – Soap Opera Magazine

Hope the above is true as I will not have to hear suspicions of Anna leaving the GH cast. Really tire of the rumor mill presented by spoiler sites as well as viewers adding to the suspicions.
