CHARACTER STUDY: Kristina Wagner (Felicia, GH)

Actors offer Insight Into Their Alter Egos

- Mara Levinsky

What are your favorite qualities of Felicia’s? 

“I like that she never gives up. I love that she pursues things to the bitter end, no matter what the consequence. She’s a generally good-natured person and she really shoots for the bright side and I think, with her years of wisdom, she knows how to manipulate all of the things she’s learned in her life because she’s had so many dramas and tragedies. I like that she learns from her mistakes and moves forward.” 

What has been the best time in her life?

“That feels like you are asking, ‘What was your favorite storyline?’ That has always been a tough question for me because I’ve loved all the phases and I’ve loved all of her life. But I think the best time for her would be today, because she’s more grounded and she can make the choice to pursue happiness. She has the tools and she’s very content in her marriage to Mac and being present for Maxie and the grandchildren. She’s solid and stable. So, today is probably her most at-peace, happiest time.”

What was the hardest time in her life?

“Maxie’s heart transplant would be one, and the second would be Georgie’s death. Being a mother is one of the most important aspects of her life, and so the hardest times were when her children were struggling, and the worst time in her life would be when Georgie died. I know from personal experience what that is like [having lost son Harrison in 2022]. That is very critical and would change you, and make you into a different character, actually.”
