Is Alex Really Anna
Devane (SOU 12/21/99)
AMC's Finola Hughes says you won't believe
what's coming up next!
"'As far as finding out the
truth behind Alex's background, I have to say that right now, I really don't know what's
going to happen. And as to whether or not she's Anna or related to Anna (Devane, Hughes'
former General Hospital alter ego), I really don't know. It's all in discussion right now.
We have to just wait and see. So far, I've really been enjoying the mystery of it, even
though it's been grueling. I'd love it if she turned out to be a really bad character, but
I think that overall, she's a good person.
You have to believe that she was really in love with Dimitri, and when he died, it really, truly gutted her. She has genuine feelings for Gillian and a lot of the people she's met in Pine Valley, and there is a genuine side of her character. She may not be as stable in her judgement as she should be when it comes to making certain decisions, such as the way she handled the Dimitri mess. That wasn't a rational way to behave, especially for a doctor. As for the future, I'm just waiting to see what unfolds and having a great time.'
NY State of Mind
Finola Hughes and her daytime alter ego Alex
may not have much in common, but they can both commiserate on the difficulties associated
with setting into a new area. While Alex slowly integrates herself in Pine Valley mix,
Hughes and her husband Russell Young are having a ball exploring New York City. The
couple, who formerly lived in California, has recently settled into an artsy Manhattan
suburb... and they couldn't be happier. 'My husband is an artist, so he loves it here,'
says Hughes. 'We are finding so many wonderful things the city has to offer, it's hard to
go home at night.'"
