General Hospital spoilers reveal that while Carolyn Hennesy has been a part of GH as Diane Miller, high powered attorney since 1981, this is the first time she’s made a Hallmark movie.
While she did appear in a made for tv Christmas movie in 2017, called “This Is Christmas” this is her first for Hallmark-and it’s called “Deck The Walls!”
General Hospital Spoilers – Acting Is In Carolyn Hennesy’s Blood
One could say acting is in Carolyn’s blood, although she is best known for her long-running stint on GH, as well as its Soap Net spinoff “Night Shift”.
The niece of the late actress Barbara Rush, best known for the 1960s nighttime soap “Peyton Place”, you’d be surprised how many shows Carolyn has been in over the years.
If you check her IMDB account, she’s been in everything from made for tv movies to guest shots on primetime series to voicing characters in video games.
But, like her castmate Cameron Mathison (Drew Quartermaine) and her former castmate Ryan Paevey (Nathan West) she’s now taking a stab at Hallmark. In this movie, she plays a minor, although important role and she shines as bright as the Christmas tree lights!
