Diane Delano Joins 'General Hospital' as Margarethe

Diane Delano at the 5th Annual Indie Series Awards.
Two-time Indie Series Award winner Diane Delano has joined the cast of ABC soap opera General Hospital.

When Trent Dawson debuts on GH later this month as Huxley, viewers will also meet his character’s assistant, Margarethe, played by Delano.

“I actually reached out to [co-dead writer] Jean Passanante on Facebook to find out how the name is pronounced,” Dawson tells Soap Opera Digest. “She said, ‘You know the song, 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?' [from The Sound of Music] — Sister Margaretta, that’s what I want it to sound like.’ So, right before I had to say the line, I was hurrying to find the song on YouTube!”

Aside from her ISA-winning role as Shara Rose on Julie Smith's Fumbling Thru the Pieces, Delano has appeared in numerous TV series including Northern Exposure, Popular and Days of our Lives.
