"General Hospital" posted a picture on Twitter of Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) on the Port Charles docks looking considerably concerned, stating, "Anna is worried for Lucy's safety following her disappearance on the pier. Who will find the Deception founder first?" Excited fans responded, with one fan replying, "Love to see so much Anna on our screens!" Another wrote, "#GH has been so good this week. Anna's been on all week. I'm seeing a pattern." The love continued with, "A whole week of Anna Devane? Yes, please!"
Fans thanked the show for putting Hughes' Anna at the forefront of a major story, with one replying, "Thank you for finally showcasing the legendary Finola Hughes. It's been an exciting few days with Anna, Valentin, Lucy, Robert and now Dante working together to take down Victor." One viewer encapsulated why the fans love Anna so much, saying, "It will never get old for me knowing that while the most of the citizen of Port Charles go merrily about their lives, Anna Devane is out there fighting the good fight. I can't stress how much I love that she has been on the front burner, exactly where she belongs."
On her 35th anniversary of playing Anna Devane, Hughes expressed on Instagram her incredulity at how the fans have embraced her and how the character has changed her life. To this day, the fans can't seem to get enough of Anna or Hughes.
