General Hospital introduced another new character, the mysterious Hudson, on the Thursday, July 30 episode, marking the daytime debut of actor Troy Lennon Appel. Who is Hudson on General Hospital? The role of Hudson was not only created with Appel in mind, but came together after he did a chemistry read with Eden McCoy (Josslyn). When he’s not busy playing Hudson, Appel continues to train clients as a personal trainer. “I would not have booked General Hospital without her,” Appel declared.
