Overview
- Kruger made her on-screen debut on General Hospital this week after producers offered the part based on an audition tape she filmed years earlier when she had stepped back from acting.
- She almost declined the role because she was focused on a career as a beauty influencer before deciding to return to daytime work.
- Kruger called Serena the favorite role she has played and said she is still discovering the character as scripts arrive and writers map out future scenes.
- On set Kruger said the cast and executive producer Frank Valentini were very welcoming and that she formed an immediate rapport with co-stars including Lynn Herring, Kelly Monaco, and Kelly Thiebaud.
- Serena is a legacy character who first appeared on the Port Charles spinoff and was last seen as an adult environmental activist with a 2022 storyline that sent Scott Baldwin to Denmark, and Kruger said she would welcome scenes that explore the father-daughter dynamic with Kin Shriner.
