Who Plays Lucy Coe On General Hospital?

Lynn Herring's acting work outside of soap operas include small roles in a variety of television dramas throughout the early 1980s, including shows like "Riptide," "Matt Houston," "T.J. Hooker," and "L.A. Law." During this time she also appeared in several films, including the 1979 musical "Roller Boogie," the 1982 slasher parody "Pandemonium," and the television movie "Gone Are The Dayes." Herring also appeared as herself in the 1995 documentary "Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story," which chronicled the life of fellow soap opera icon and "Days of Our Lives" star Deidre Hall.

Following her first appearance on "General Hospital," Herring's work has almost been exclusively confined to the soap opera genre and for good reason. Her performance as Lucy Coe has received critical acclaim over the years, earning her two Daytime Emmy nominations and five awards from the Soap Opera Digest Awards. Though she might not be recognizable to younger audiences, Herring has been a fundamental part of the soap opera genre since the 1980s, and her role as Lucy Coe will go down as one of the most important characters in "General Hospital" history.
