Kristen Vaganos Seals Contract Deal with GH

General Hospital star Kristen Vaganos has officially been promoted to contract status. She stepped into the role of Molly Lansing-Davis on the ABC soap in late September 2023. The show initially brought her on as a recurring guest star. But Vaganos quickly made her mark, and as per today’s closing credits, she’s listed in the contract section.

To be honest, it’s a pretty big deal in soap opera terms. Now, let’s talk about Molly’s journey on the soap. Molly was originally played by Haley Pullos, who left the role earlier in 2023. After Haley’s departure, the character was briefly portrayed by Brooke Anne Smith and Holiday Mia Kriegel.  However, it seems Kristen’s portrayal struck a chord.

It led to her becoming the first actress to play Molly on contract. Her performances must have really resonated with both the audience and the show’s producers. It leads to this exciting new chapter in her career.  For those not in the loop, Molly Lansing-Davis is a well-established character. Additionally, she has a very rich backstory on the ABC soap and her storyline has been quite the rollercoaster lately.

Molly’s relationship with T.J. Ashford has been a central part of her story. The two moved in together in 2016, and in 2021, they became domestic partners. The couple chose to forgo traditional marriage. Furthermore, she and T.J. were thrilled to be expecting their first child through a surrogate. However, their joy turned to sorrow when the surrogate miscarried.

Not ones to give up easily, Molly and T.J. decided to try again. This time, Molly’s sister, Kristina, stepped in as a surrogate and egg donor.  Finally, their perseverance paid off, and Kristina successfully became pregnant through IVF. In addition, Molly and T.J. were once again looking forward to becoming parents. Alas, the history repeated itself when Kristina had a mishap and lost the baby.

Now, the couple are again heartbroken and hopeless. Keep reading Soap Opera Daily for more updates on General Hospital updates. What’s your take on Kristen Vaganos securing that contract? Drop your thoughts in the comments down below.
