It was a surprise to see Lulu’s daughter Charlotte back on screen. However, the recast role caught fans even more off-guard. The role of Charlotte Cassadine has been recast, and Bluesy Burke made her General Hospital debut. The new Charlotte Cassadine recast debuted on the September 8, 2025 GH episode.
In 2016, a 7 year old Scarlett Fernandez stepped into Charlotte Cassadine’s shoes, and she’s been a beloved member of the GH cast since her debut. As the daughter of Lulu and Valentin, Charlotte comes from two prominent families in Port Charles. In fact, her mother‘s family and father‘s family have been arch enemies since the 1980s. The age old rivalry between the Spencer family and the Cassadine family lives on despite the absence of Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) and Luke Spencer (Tony Geary).
According to the GH news, a casting change raised questions about Scarlett Fernandez’s GH status. Reportedly, the role of Charlotte Cassadine has been recast. 17 year old Bluesy Burke has been cast as the new Charlotte. She shared her first scene with tv mom, Alexa Havins. Charlotte and Lulu had a heart to heart about boundaries and growing up.
