Kristen Alderson

Don’t miss your chance to catch up with daytime alum Kristen Alderson during a special live chat in The Locher Room on Wednesday, July 20 at 3 p.m. ET!. Soap fans watched her grow up on ONE LIFE TO LIVE playing Starr Manning, and she brought that character over to GENERAL HOSPITAL after OLTL’s cancelation. She then began playing an all-new character, Kiki Jerome, after legal complications forced GH to stop using OLTL characters at the time. The actress earned three Daytime Emmy Nominations for her work on GH, taking home the trophy in 2013.

In late February, ONE LIFE TO LIVE and GENERAL HOSPITAL alum Kristen Alderson (Starr/Kiki) and her family had to say goodbye to their matriarch when her beloved grandmother passed away. Gloria Kingston was Alderson’s maternal grandmother, the mother of the actress’ mom, Kathy. And while she’d been living in a nursing home for a while, Gloria was a big part of Alderson’s life, as the young woman clearly cherished her grandmother.

Please join us as we share our condolences with ONE LIFE TO LIVE and GENERAL HOSPITAL alum Kristen Alderson (ex-Starr/Kiki), who lost two incredibly important people in her life this past week. In an Instagram story posted Feb. 28, the actress revealed that her dear grandmother had passed away two days earlier, and then she lost her beloved 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Pooka.

Soap alum Kristen Alderson (“General Hospital,” “One Life to Live”) is heading to Las Vegas for a limited three-week engagement at the Majestic Repertory Theatre in “NEWSical The Musical,” the fifth longest-running musical in Off-Broadway history and the winner of the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Musical.

The final episode of ONE LIFE TO LIVE aired on ABC on Jan. 13, 2012, but the cast and crew taped the final episode of the beloved daytime drama back on Nov. 18, 2011. And when the tenth anniversary of that sad day came around in 2021, Kristen Alderson (Starr) was inspired to share a look back at that momentous occasion with her fans.
