It's Adrienne Barbeau, of course! Veteran TV actress Adrienne Barbeau, who made her name as part of the seminal 1970s comedy Maude with Bea Arthur, is now recurring on General Hospital as Suzanne Stanwyck.
Adrienne got famous playing Bea Arthur's adult daughter on the groundbreaking sitcom Maude. She also won a Tony Award for originating the role of Rizzo in Grease on Broadway.
Since Maude, Adrienne has recently appeared on TV shows like The Drew Carey Show or Grey's Anatomy and had a starring role in the HBO drama Carnivale. She played Ruthie, the snake charmer with secrets! (Everybody had secrets on that show, but still.)
Where else might you have seen Adrienne? She starred in a slew of movies directed by her then-husband John Carpenter, including The Fog and Escape from New York. She also appeared in movies like Cannonball Run, Swamp Thing, and Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death? Is that not the greatest title of anything ever?
Look for Suzanne to make it to Port Charles when Brenda does, so you can enjoy more of her in the weeks to come.

I think Jerry Jack is the one wanting Brenda. If it is they need to kill him off of the show this time . I can't stand him the old Sonny and Jason would done kill him. Robin need to have Sonny and Jason take Lisa out. Steven is making me mad the way he is believe Lisa over Robin. Blenda and Sonny need to get together and Danta friend need to be throw off of PCPD. I love Jason Sam, Brenda and Sonny are the best couple on the show I just wish u would let Sam and Jason have a Baby together but they need to get married first.
I which they would reveal that is Lucky baby and not Nik.
I like the storyline of Brenda and Sonny for a great love is never forgotten, regardless of who has been in each other's lives plus their chemistry together steams up the screen. No one has ever had more control over Sonny than Brenda not even Carly. As for Jason and Sam, I hope the writers keep them together as their chemistry matches perfectly. Elizabeth is not woman enough for Jason plus she has too many children from different men. For those who do not like the JaSam, I don't think Kelly Monaco has anything to worry about as I hear that Franco came to her rescue after her break-up with her real life boyfriend, thus don't be surprised to see her appear with Mr. James Franco in one of his movies in the making as he has several that he's involved with at the moment.
I hope that Vanessa Marcil was given a long contract with GH this time around. Sonny and Brenda and Jason all make a great dynamic. For one thing, Carly lacks a sense of humor so she belongs with the original stoneface: Jax. And, she needs to devote sometime to her son's emotional recovery from his experience in jail. Not obsessing over who her ex is shtupping!
BRING BACK GENIE FRANCIS
i love mrs Barbbaure on GH.i watched Maude years ago.she is wonderful on that show.keep it up Adrienne.you look great.i would love to meet you too.
I just finished watching season 4 of Dexter on DVD and I could have sworn that I saw her on one episode. I believe she was one of the g/f of Dexters dad in the past.... Does someone know if that really was her?
I also grew up watching Adrienne Barbeau as "Maude's" daughter. That was a great show--but my favorite of Ms. Barbeau's is in Cannonball Run. She gets pulled over by police and unzips her top, hoping that a little cleavage will help avoid a ticket. The funny part is when the officer walks up to the car, the officer is a "she" and, of course, isn't interested in her cleavage :) ! Go Adrienne!
One Life to live is my favorite soap, because my husband has terminal gliboplastoma brain cancer just likethe character Tea . Thanks for bringing this into the story line, their isn't that much information available about this type of disease, it's very hard to have to watch my husband suffer the way he does.
This latest crisis lisa caused on GH stealing Robin's HIV med's and dumping them in the trash is just awful! I hope Patrick deals with her in a serious way, and has her arrested for dangerous terrorism. Poor Robin, she doesn't deserve any of this. It's great That Adrienne will be on GH, can't wait to see what she's going to be doing, is she Brenda's PR agent or something? Other than that, I think the soaps are fine, except the fact that they are allowing Lisa to get away with the horrific things she's doing.
Sorry to agree, that the writters are stuck and keep doing the same thing over and over and over and over, It is getting sickening. Live moves on to new and different things. Move on or get out.
