What happened to Alexis Davis?

Alexis Davis is still very much alive and well; she’s just been temporarily recast.

She’ll be played by Stephanie Erb, starting April 25, 2022.

The reason for the recast was because Nancy Lee Grahn had to take a temporary leave from the show following minor spinal surgery.

Who is Stephanie Erb?

Stephanie Herb is the actress taking over Alexis Davis’ character while Nancy Lee Grahn heals.

She’s best known for her recurring roles on shows including Weeds, The Young and the Restless, Freaks and Geeks, and 24.

While she may be new to General Hospital, she’s also had a recurring role on the show’s spinoff Port Charles.

What has Nancy Lee Grahn said about her break?

Nancy Lee Grahn tweeted to her fans, saying:

“My dear #GHers. All’s well sweet ones. Out for a bit. Stephanie is a champ. Be back soon. Xoxo”

She went into more detail on her public Facebook page, where she wrote:

“Surgery was a Godsend. The brilliant Dr. Matthew Chong at Kerlan Jobe swiftly removed the pesky cyst that parked itself on my facet joint in between a cluster of nerves on top and one seriously mean one on the bottom.”

She continued, “I tell ya, surgery and the aftermath was a cakewalk… I didn’t take even one of the lovely painkillers. Just 2 tylenol in all. I’m off for another week, 2 1/2 in all, been shuffling around the house and of course dropping everything I touch because I can’t bend down. “

Adding: “Richard [her fiancé] comes home after work and picks it all up. It’s such a shame because I haven’t been able to do the laundry, or lift groceries or make beds and clean things.

“So sad. No one else has been doing it either, but I don’t care. I happily shuffle around the house with my back brace. Every day is better than the next. Except when I watch the news. Oy!”

She then went on to thank her fans, saying:

“I am always here to answer any questions, laugh with you, gossip about and reveal what I can,” she said, “As always I appreciate your patronage. Every TV show wishes they had the likes and the loyalty of you guys in their family.”
