‘General Hospital’ Casts Eva LaRue As Blaze’s Mom

A longtime daytime drama favorite is joining General Hospital.

Eva LaRue, who played neurologist Dr. Maria Santos Grey on All My Children, is coming to Port Charles to pay Blaze’s mom, Natalia Rogers-Ramirez.

LaRue will make her first appearance on Feb. 26. The news was first reported by TVLine.

Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) just began a romance with Kristina (Kate Mansi). Blaze has kept her sexual orientation a secret because she fears the revelation could impact her career, and potentially anger her family.

LaRue starred on All My Children from 1993 to 2011. She won her first daytime Emmy in 2020 for guesting as Celeste Rosales on CBS’ The Young and the Restless.

She also played Natalia Boa Vista on CSI: Miami from 2005 to 2012. LaRue got her start in daytime soaps back in 1988 on Santa Barbara.
