Genie Francis will reprise her iconic role on "General Hospital" starting February 11 on ABC, according to ew.com
The long-running soap opera celebrates its 50th anniversary on April 1.
Emmy-winning actress Francis, who was a cast member of the daytime drama from 1976-2008, asked only one thing of the show’s executive producer Frank Valenti, according to the website.
As a mother of three children on the show, she wanted viewers to have a good explanation for her absence from the fictional Port Charles all these years, the website reported.
"It's not for me to tell them how to run their show. But my biggest concern was that there had to be a good reason for me to stay away from my family," she told ew.com. No word on what the explanation will be or how long Francis will be on the show.
The actress, who was last seen in Hallmark Channel's "The Note" and its sequel "Notes From the Heart Healer," won a Daytime Emmy for her work on "General Hospital" in 2007.
"General Hospital" airs at 1 p.m. weekdays on ABC, channel 8.
Here's Francis on the show in 2008.
