Emma Elizabeth Wylie Samuelson[1] MBE known professionally as Emma Samms, (born 28 August 1960)[2] is an English actress and TV host, known popularly for her role as Holly Sutton on the American daytime soap opera General Hospital, and as the second actress to play Fallon Carrington Colby on the prime time soap opera Dynasty.

[4][5] With Samms choosing to leave the series amicably to go to ABC's Dynasty, her character Holly seemingly perished in a plane crash.

[6] On 10 April 1985 Samms appeared in the fifth-season episode "Kidnapped" as Fallon Carrington Colby, a role originated by Pamela Sue Martin in 1981.

[citation needed] "Fan favorite" Samms had been so popular at General Hospital that Holly was brought back from the dead in January 1992 after a seven-year absence.

[12] In 2018, Samms performed alongside 26 other celebrities on a new Christmas song, called "Rock With Rudolph", which was written and produced by Grahame and Jack Corbyn.

The song was released digitally through independent record label Saga Entertainment, on 30 November 2018 in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital under the artist name The Celebs.

On 22 August 2022, it was announced that Emma Samms would be returning to General Hospital, reprising the role of Holly Sutton, which she has been playing since 1982.

"[18] "I can't believe that it's been 40 years since I first appeared on General Hospital and that, once again, I get to play the wonderful character of Holly Sutton," Samms told Deadline.

In 1984 Samms and Tristan Rogers went public with their romance,[5] but the relationship ended around the time she left General Hospital the next year.

[21] Samms was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours for services to seriously and terminally ill children.
