NEW YORK CITY — In commemoration of her 40th anniversary on “General Hospital,” actress Finola Hughes shared insights about the upcoming episode that highlights the iconic Nurses Ball.

“It’s an absolutely stunning event with everyone dressed to represent our community,” Hughes explained. “The fictional gala is aimed at supporting HIV and AIDS causes by raising funds, and it’s truly magnificent.”

Among other characters, she plays Anna Devane, currently a police commissioner in the world of “General Hospital.”

“I love the fact that she’s a police commissioner, and she stands for justice,” she said. “I think that’s cool.”

Though she boasts over 1000 episodes, Hughes hasn’t continuously been a part of “General Hospital” for the entirety of those 40 years. Her return was prompted by executive producer Frank Valentini’s comeback.

“He asked me, and I just couldn’t wait,” Hughes said. “I couldn’t wait to get back.”

The 62-season soap opera has had many guest stars over the years, and Hughes knows exactly who she wants to join that list, quickly answering “Tom Cruise.”

Ultimately, though, she truly loves the people she stars with in each and every episode of “General Hospital,” from 40 years ago to today.

“We’re all really good friends,” Hughes said. “The entire cast supports each other. We go to each other’s dressing rooms and chat, and we know so much about each other.”

Don’t miss “General Hospital” episodes every weekday on ABC.
