Josh Swickard’s Wife Lauren Swickard Joins ‘General Hospital’
In a surprise move, California Christmas star Lauren Swickard has joined General Hospital. Lauren is married in real-life to GH heartthrob Josh Swickard, who portrays Chase.
When is she debuting on the ABC soap? Moreover, what is her role?
Here are all the details.
Lauren Swickard Joins General Hospital
Get ready General Hospital fans, another Swickard is headed to Port Charles. This time, it is Josh’s wife Lauren Swickard. According to Soap Opera Digest, Lauren will portray a nurse at Ferncliff.
Lauren, who wrote and starred in both hit Netflix California Christmas movies, including City Lights, is absolutely thrilled to be on the ABC soap.
I’m so excited to be part of the show because I’ve loved everybody there for years now, just being there with Josh through everything.
Lauren also revealed that she is close personal friends with several people on the GH set. Sounds like this was quite a fun reunion with people she adores.
I love the producers and some of the cast members are actually my best friends. So it’s just been so special to be a part of this.
Josh Swickard Admits He Was Nervous About Wife On Soap
Surprisingly, General Hospital regular Josh Swickard admitted that he was “nervous” about his bride of four years joining him on the show. However, it was not about her acting ability. It was because working on a soap is not for everyone.
He pointed out that Lauren has been in movies lately. Her last three were for Netflix and HBO Max. Those do not require filming 40 pages of script in a day. Being on a soap is fast-paced and requires lots of daily memorizing.
I was more nervous than Lauren was, just because I know what a weird beast it is [to shoot a soap opera]. Most of her work lately has been feature film stuff which is just a completely different flow.
But, he added how proud he was of his wife. Sounds like she nailed it!
But I was blown away by how calm and composed she was.
But, what do we know about her role?
