Holly Sutton Scorpio is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. The character has been portrayed by actress Emma Samms off-and-on since her debut. She originally appeared from July 1, 1982 to September 5, 1985. With Samms choosing to leave the series amicably to go to ABC's prime time hit Dynasty and its spin-off The Colbys, Holly seemingly perished in a plane crash. "Fan favorite" Samms had been so popular at General Hospital that Holly was brought back from the dead on January 16, 1992 after a seven-year absence. She stayed in the role until July 22, 1993, during this time also playing Holly's lookalike half-sister Paloma, a heroic revolutionary.
After a 13-year absence, Samms made a seven-episode return to General Hospital as Holly on February 20, 2006, in time for the series' 11,000th episode. She reappeared for a three-week run starting May 1, 2006 and then again on June 30, 2006. Samms again made a brief return to the series on May 15, 2009.
In January 2012, it was announced that Samms would once again temporarily step back into the role of Holly, likely as part of her on-screen son's exit storyline.
Emma Samms came back again for a short stint and first appeared on August 5, 2013. To facilitate with the exit of Anthony Geary., she returned on June 26, 2015.
Holly met Luke met at a camping trip, when he saw her skinny dipping. He was smitten, and they ended up having a one-night stand.

Eventually, Holly was forced to admit the truth. Then, Holly was kidnapped.

Still hurt over Holly's deception and unable to fully trust her, Luke and Holly ended up having a terrible argument. Luke packed his things and headed to the mountains. Shortly afterwards, news arrived there had been an avalanche. Luke was presumed dead, but he had broken his back and was recuperating in a remote hospital.
