``Fan favorite'' Samms had been so popular at General Hospital that Holly was brought back from the dead in January 1992 after a seven-year absence. She stayed in the role until 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.
