Before Emme Rylan played Lulu, actress Julie Marie Berman brought her to life. Rylan assumed the role in 2013 (via IMDb). When Kirsten Storms looked back at her 15 years on "General Hospital" in 2020, she described what it was like when a new Lulu came along — and how it changed her life forever.
"When Julie left, I was determined to hate her replacement — and then that replacement ended up being the best friend I've ever had in my life," Storms told Soap Opera Digest. "She knows everything there is to know about me; we have that sort of relationship with each other."
Storms also explained how her off-screen rapport with Rylan led to such an amazing time in front of the cameras and improved their overall work. "Feeling that comfortable with a person you're in a scene with is so amazing because you feel free to try new things and take risks," Storms continued. "We'll read scenes separately at home when we're prepping and both come in the next day being like, 'Oh, man, I don't know how we're going to do this.' And then we read them with each other and it clicks, and then we'll go upstairs and they'll be the best scenes we've ever had."
