Hey there, soap opera fans! Guess what? Denise Alexander, the legendary daytime actress who brought Lesley Webber to life on General Hospital, is making her way back to Port Charles just in time for the holidays. Could this be a Christmas visit? Or maybe she's coming for Laura and Kevin’s wedding? Unfortunately, the show isn’t spilling any beans yet, but one thing’s for sure—fans are buzzing with excitement!
Denise Alexander's Journey Through Daytime TV
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and talk about Denise Alexander’s incredible journey in daytime television. She first graced our screens as Lois Adams on The Clear Horizon back in 1960. But it was her role as Susan Hunter Martin on Days of Our Lives from 1966 to 1973 that really made her a household name. After wrapping up her time on Days, Denise stepped into the role of Dr. Lesley Williams on General Hospital. For over a decade, she became a beloved figure in Port Charles. Later, she took on the role of Mary McKinnon on Another World, but she returned to General Hospital in 1996. Her character Lesley faded into the background around 2009, but she made a triumphant return in 2013 for the show’s 50th-anniversary celebration.

Thanks to Luke’s heroic efforts, Lesley and Laura managed to escape the clutches of the Cassadines and returned to Port Charles. Talk about a twist!
