Sarah Sherman

In a delightful twist, the multi-talented Sarah Sherman has joined the cast of General Hospital, and fans are already buzzing about her brief but memorable role as Ms. Robin Finch.

Known for her edgy humor on Saturday Night Live, Sherman has taken a detour into the dramatic world of Port Charles, proving that her comedic timing can shine even in soap operas.

Sarah Sherman’s Big Debut: Comedy Meets Daytime Drama

Sherman’s character, Ms. Robin Finch, is a spirited etiquette teacher who finds herself in the middle of some General Hospital drama—specifically with none other than Lois Cerullo (played by Rena Sofer).

In episodes airing on September 5th and 6th, 2024, Sherman’s quirky character shakes up the Quartermaine mansion with her witty one-liners and etiquette corrections.

“I have been a fan of General Hospital for years, and getting to be on set with legends like Tracy Quartermaine was surreal,” Sherman said in an interview. “I was pinching myself the whole time.”

Ms. Finch vs. Olivia: The Croissant Confrontation

One of the most talked-about moments in Sherman’s appearance involves a showdown between Ms. Finch and Olivia (played by Lisa LoCicero).

The battle? A mispronounced French pastry. Olivia’s Brooklyn accent does not sit well with the etiquette expert, leading to a hilariously petty correction of how to pronounce “croissant.”

“I do not know who you are or what you are doing in my living room, but I will pronounce my French pastries the way I eat them,” Olivia fires back, delivering the classic General Hospital sass fans adore.

Ned (Wally Kurth) quickly backs his wife, saying, “She will pronounce it any way she wants.”

However, Ms. Finch, not one to back down, responds by eerily pinpointing Olivia’s Brooklyn roots based solely on her accent.

“The closer to Bath Beach, the more nasal the tone,” Finch explains, leaving everyone stunned—especially Brooklyn (played by Amanda Setton), who finds the whole situation more creepy.

A Dream Come True for Sherman

Sherman’s excitement about joining the cast was palpable.

“I was so nervous about flubbing my lines, but everyone was so professional and memorized like a billion pages of dialogue daily!”

she said, laughing about her nerves while working alongside soap veterans like Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine) and Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).

In an exclusive clip, Ms. Finch’s entrance into the world of Port Charles is filled with humor, wit, and plenty of eyebrow-raising moments.

She introduces herself to the room, stating with a twinkle in her eye, “You must be Lois Cerullo! My new student.”

A New Era for General Hospital: Old Favorites and New Faces

Sarah Sherman’s guest appearance follows the recent return of fan-favorite characters like Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) and Holly Sutton (Emma Samms), showing that General Hospital is committed to keeping the storylines fresh and entertaining.

With Sherman’s comedic touch, the soap continues to blend humor, drama, and unforgettable character interactions.

As General Hospital continues to evolve, bringing in unexpected actors like Sherman keeps the long-running soap feeling new, relevant, and just as exciting as ever.

Whether you are tuning in for the murder mystery or the French pastry drama, one thing is for sure: Port Charles has never been funnier.
