GH TWIST: Natalina is secretly investigating Sonny, driven by a need for revenge because she believes he’s responsible for creating Kristina, who influenced her daughter Blaze to become gay and leave her

Since 2022, Jacqueline Grace Lopez has entertained General Hospital fans as the singer Blaze, who entered into a same-sex relationship with Kristina, ruffling the feathers of her less-than-tolerant mother, Natalia. Fans were regaled by her amazing voice and even more entertained by her duets with Chase. Sadly, Blaze’s story ended recently, and her portrayer sent a heartfelt message to the fans and shared her gratitude for the opportunity.

​
Blaze wasn’t the first character Lopez played on GH. She briefly appeared as a babysitter, once in 2015, then again in 2016. But Blaze put Lopez on the map, turning her into a beloved soap star. After Kristina (Kate Mansi) tragically lost her baby, Blaze learned that she had the opportunity to tour with former Port Charles resident-turned-rock star, Miguel (ex-Ricky Martin), and was convinced she should take the opportunity, so she left town.

In an August 14 post on X, formerly Twitter, Lopez posted two images with a lengthy goodbye written. “Not gonna lie, this goodbye hurts,” she continued, “ I think because I didn’t see it coming. That and when you spend almost two years with this group, you start to feel like part of the fabric.” After following her character’s journey, fans felt she was truly part of the GH family.
