After 37 Years, “General Hospital” Recasts Demi Moore’s Original Character with “NYPD Blue” Star Kim Delaney

Share

Yes. it’s true. Demi Moore, movie star, got her start on “General Hospital” in the early 1980s. The character was called Jackie Templeton, she looked nothing like other soap characters– and didn’t sound like them with her sexy whiskey voice.

Now, 35 years later or so, Jackie is coming back to the soap. But not played by Demi Moore. (What ever happened to her?) No, Jackie will now be portrayed by “NYPD Blue” star Kim Delaney.

What happened to Jackie in all those years? She’s going to have a son in Port Charles, which will surprise everyone, including Kim Delaney, I’m sure. But Demi has kids that age, and it hasn’t done her any harm.

Meantime, according to reports, Emma Samms– who was also on the soap at that time — couldn’t return to reprise her original role because she’s been battling COVID. Get well soon!
