‘General Hospital’ Alicia Leigh Willis Would Love To Reprise The Role Of Courtney Matthews

While the character of Courtney Matthews died on “General Hospital,” Alicia Leigh Willis has expressed an interest in reprising her role in one way or another.

“Always,” Willis told Soaps In Depth in a recent interview. “I would love to go back and work with them again. Yeah, if the opportunity ever came up, I would love that. It would be fun.”

Willis last returned to the soap in 2015 as a ghost, visiting Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) and Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel). Willis shared that the comeback was thanks to fans voting on Facebook to bring back her character as a guest star and “General Hospital” listened to what fans were wishing for.

“But yeah, I definitely have thrown my hat in the ring a couple of times. You never know how it is with the soaps. Everyone knows each other so it’s really nice when you go to the other soaps, you’re usually seeing people that you’ve worked with in the past. It’s pretty cool.”

Let’s hope Willis gets a new role on a daytime soap soon!
