Charlotte Cassadine on ‘General Hospital’
The character of Charlotte Cassadine on General Hospital is the daughter of Lulu Spencer and Valentin Cassadine.
Recently on the series, the young character has been exhibiting some bad behavior. She recently tried to bring a snake into the birthday party for Violet Finn. The snake ended up getting in Ava Jerome’s purse.
This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Charlotte’s handiwork lately. She also caused Jasper “Jax” Jacks to fall and even cut up a photo of Sasha Gilmore. Also back in 2018, she bullied her cousin, Aiden Spencer.
