Frenemies and Family Feuds Coming up This July
GH head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten dropped a few hints to Soap Opera Digest about characters coming to the canvas this month. Among them, they noted that Dr. Tristan Roberts will arrive from Australia with a past shrouded in obscurity, but will quickly enter into conflict with Britt.
Meanwhile, Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) returns to town after a decade-long absence and rapidly finds herself immersed in surrogate mother Lucy’s battle with the Quartermaines. “Serena is all heart – but when Lucy aims her at the Quartermaines, we’ll see she’s also plenty conniving. When it comes to Coes and Baldwins, the scheming gene doesn’t skip a generation,” the writers hinted.
