Could Nelle Benson be coming back to General Hospital? Fans are asking this big question as rumors swirl about actress Chloe Lanier possibly returning to the show. General Hospital has brought back several characters from the dead before, so it’s not impossible that Nelle could be next.

Emma and Gio’s Dangerous Lab Plan
During the week of November 10–14, Giovanni “Gio” Palmieri and Emma Scorpio-Drake come up with a risky idea. They plan to break into a secret lab, but what they find there will leave everyone shocked.
Spoilers suggest their discovery will be disturbing and could lead to something major. The show might be setting up a big twist — maybe even the return of a familiar face.
What Could Be Inside the Lab?
Rumors say that Emma and Gio could discover human test subjects inside the lab. That means there might be people hidden away — people everyone thought were dead.
If that’s true, one of them could be Nelle Benson. The lab storyline could easily open the door for her to come back to Port Charles in a shocking way.
Past Comebacks That Surprised Everyone
Fans of General Hospital know that no one ever really stays dead.
- Britt Westbourne faked her death and returned to Port Charles alive.
- Nathan West also came back even after being buried.
If Britt and Nathan can return, then anything is possible, including Nelle’s shocking resurrection.

Could Nelle Still Be Alive?
Some fans believe that Nathan West may have been involved in saving Nina Reeves’ daughter, who happens to be Nelle. Nathan doesn’t seem to remember much about the past seven years, so it’s possible that he helped Nelle without realizing it.
If that theory is true, it could explain how Nelle survived and set the stage for her comeback.
What’s Happening in Port Charles This Week?
There’s plenty of other drama coming during the week of November 10–14.
- Brook Lynn Quartermaine demands answers and turns to Harrison Chase for help.
- Elizabeth Baldwin starts feeling uneasy about something.
- Willow Tait receives shocking news.
- Carly Spencer faces a major surprise that could change everything.
Could all of these events be connected to Nelle’s possible return? The timing certainly makes it look suspicious.
Will Chloe Lanier Return as Nelle Benson?
There’s still no official word on whether Chloe Lanier is coming back. However, actor Josh Kelly (who plays Cody Bell and is dating Lanier in real life) hinted in an interview that he would love to see Nelle return — maybe even to start a romance with Cody.
Kelly’s comments made fans wonder if General Hospital is preparing for a Nelle Benson comeback. If true, it would bring major drama and excitement back to Port Charles.
Final Thoughts
There’s no confirmation yet, but General Hospital could be getting ready for another resurrection storyline. Whether it’s Nelle Benson or someone else, fans can expect shocking twists ahead.
