General Hospital Spoilers: Cynthia Watros Cast In Role Of Nina Reeves As Michelle Stafford Exits Port Charles

Born on September 2, 1968 the actress that will be portraying the new Nina Reeves has a serious acting resume. Over 20 years ago, Watros played the part of Annie Dutton Banks between 1997 and 1998. She’s also known for appearances in Video Game High School (2012) and the comedy-drama Titus (2000) as well as appearances on the hit show Lost. Of course, being that General Hospital is a soap her experience on Guiding Light will prove invaluable, granted that it was over 20 years ago. Still, do soap operas change all that much over the years? We’re sure she’s learned a trick or two that will come in handy for her soon-to-be-drama filled life in Port Charles.

According to recent fan opinion, many people thought the producers left the character of Nina Reeves directionless, and some, not to say that most feel this way, even felt indifferent upon learning the news of Michelle Stafford’s departure from the hit ABC soap.

No matter how one feels about the producers or the character of Nina Reeves, one thing’s for sure: Cynthia Watros will rock the boat upon joining the cast of General Hospital. She also joins the show at a tumultuous time, with serial killer Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) still lurking and Oscar near his deathbed.

An exact date for her debut hasn’t been specified yet, but it’s safe to assume that it will be at least a month and a half, if not more, before we see Watros in action in Port Charles. We can say that we’re excited to see a new face join the show even though we’re saddened by Michelle Stafford’s departure. We look forward to seeing what Cynthia Watros brings to the table and how she will be making the role of Nina Reeves her own.
