Lauren Swickard Joins General Hospital

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.

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?
