Alley Mills does not want to disappoint

Soaps in Depth is reporting that Alley Mills recently dished to Soap Opera Digest about her new role as Heather Webber on General Hospital. The veteran actress took on the character of the craziest woman in Port Charles when Robin Mattson was unable to return to the soap due to recovering from hip surgery.

This year has been rough on GH actors as Charles Shaughnessy ( Victor Cassadine) also had a hip replacement and Nacy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis ) had major back surgery, There have also been at least a dozen cast members who have been out because of COVID or other issues since January. Mills says she was concerned about portraying such a legendary character and wanted to do justice to Mattson as well as the General Hospital fans.

General Hospital viewers are enjoying Mills's portrayal of Heather

Soap viewers can be very critical of recasts but this new version of Heather is delighting those who enjoy the ABC soap. Mills said she watched old episodes of General Hospital to get a feel for the character and fans are saying they love what the actress is doing. Webber is just as zany as when Mattson portrayed her and does to miss a beat.

She flirted with Dr. Hamilto Finn (Michael Easton) while making cryptic remarks about Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) and threatened Cameron Webber in a teasing manner as she was eating her famous BLT sandwich at Kelly's diner. Next week on General Hospital Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zampragna) will pay Heather a visit and try to find out what happened the night the police transport vehicle crashed and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes escaped.

General Hospital spoilers say Webber will give the police detective some answers in exchange for something else which might be another BLT. Now that fans know Alley Mills has not replaced Robin Mattson they can settle in and enjoy this version of kooky Heather Webber who no doubt has more tricks up her sleeve.

Jurassic Quest is a great opportunity for homeschoolers. My 3 grandchildren like many others students in this area are part of the growing home school population in Virginia. One of the disadvantages of not being enrolled in Roanoke City schools is their not being able to take part in scheduled group excursions and field trips so our family members keep our eyes and ears open for opportunities to give them as much exposure as possible.

Diana Princess of Wales was hounded by the press and referred to as "Shy Di" early on which was not a negative nickname. Her sister-in-law Sarah Ferguson the Duchess of York however was called the Duchess of Pork by which was ugly. Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles was on the receiving end of annimosity from the British people when she was accused of breaking up the marriage of Diana and then Prince Charles so the jabs coming against Meghan Markle is par for the course of a royal except she also has racism to deal with. The tricky thing is some that calling her names might be doing so as a way to hide their racism.

I don't like it when they turn their heads all the way around because although it is natural for this predatory nocturnal creature it seems so unnatural to me. My motto is to let them remain in the trees where I don't have to witness their turning heads but recently a baby Great Horned Owl was spotted on a porch in Roanoke County according to WDBJ 7.
