Perfect Casting! Fans Rally for Lisa Yamada to Join THIS Soap Opera Next
Lisa Yamada just wrapped her Emmy-winning run as the deliciously villainous Luna Nozawa on The Bold and the Beautiful. But she didn’t walk away empty-handed—or even tempted to.
Instead, she stepped off the B&B stage with a tight-knit soap family she’s grown to love, a brain full of lifelong memories, and a character she’ll keep close to her heart. On top of that, she has the shiny new Daytime Emmy she scored for Outstanding Emerging Talent at the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards. Not a bad parting gift, right?
There’s zero doubt she’ll be missed. Yamada’s talent pretty much speaks (okay, shouts) for itself. She’s got serious acting chops, and fans have already started dream-casting where her next soap home could be.
Of course, she’s heading into the pink-and-perfect world of the Legally Blonde prequel series Elle, premiering in 2026, where she’ll play Amber. However, that hasn’t stopped the soap universe from plotting her return to daytime.
And since Luna was killed off on B&B and her exit became official, one idea has taken off like wildfire: Lisa Yamada on General Hospital. And we can see it too.
Lisa Yamada on General Hospital?
Some fans think she’d be the perfect addition to Port Charles as a relative of the infamous Selina Wu, aka Ms. Wu, which would also make her connected to Brad Cooper (Parry Shen). That’s perfect casting.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one fan shared a genius side-by-side of Lisa Yamada and Lydia Look, while mentioning executive producer Frank Valentini to make sure the vision got delivered straight to the top. Fans jumped in immediately with their thoughts.
One wrote, “Hope the GH casters and writers see this! Inspired!! Can you imagine her as Brad’s sister?”
Another chimed in, “I can see it! She comes to town as Selina’s niece who immediately sets her sights on Gio.”
And another added, “I’ve been saying this all along! This is a no-brainer for #GH.”
So what do you think, fans? Would you like to see Lisa Yamada make her way to General Hospital? Drop your thoughts below. Port Charles might need to make room.
