There’s an old rule in soap operas where no one stays dead if there’s a juicy enough storyline, and ‘General Hospital’ (GH) Spoilers are curious what’s in store for us since Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) is returning.
The news comes curtesy of Soap Opera Digest. Though the issue won’t be available to purchase until tomorrow (Friday, September 2), they gave us a tease of what’s to come on their online site.
Would this be a bad time to point out we’re stoked to see her return?
‘General Hospital’ Spoilers (9/1): Nelle Benson Returning to General Hospital in Brief Appearance
Granted, the show runners have stated she is as dead as dead can be, so ‘General Hospital’ Spoilers think she’s going to take part in newly shot flashbacks or as a hallucination.
We’re wondering who she’s going to appear to, and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is a likely candidate. Enough of our rambling, lets find out what Soap Opera Digest had to say.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers (9/1): Reprising her role
Nelle appeared on the show from 2016 to 2018, and then 2019 to 2020 when her character was killed off to conclude her storyline.
Nelle will return to Port Charles but in a short term role next week (Sept. 5 to Sept. 9), and she sat down with Soap Opera Digest (link above) to talk about what it’s like to be back after being gone for a couple of years and trying to discover her character once again.
“I was looking at videos of Nelle online for days, like, ‘It has been two years since I had played this role. What did I even do? What were my speech patterns? How did I walk as Nelle?’ All of these things that were once so clicked-in for me, I had totally forgotten how to do, but hopefully it translated and I was able to slip back into character the way I did it before. I’m hoping!”
We’re sure she nailed it and will find a way to cause some mayhem for whomever she interacts with and we’re looking forward to seeing her in action again.
As we mentioned above, we expect her to appear in flashbacks or hallucinations, but there’s also the possibility of her appearing in someone’s dream. As yet, we don’t know exactly when she’ll appear and it could be for a single episode or multiple ones.
Just because she was listed as truly dead by the show runner, if there’s a good enough reason to bring her back it wouldn’t be the first time. It may be a more reality based show, but it wasn’t too long ago when they had a weather dominating machine in use by a madman.
What kind of role will Nell play in her appearance? Let us know in the comments below and check back with ‘General Hospital’ Spoilers for the latest updates, spoilers, and speculation.
