Mansi In the Role of Kristina

Mansi debuted on GH in May 2023 in the recast role of Kristina Corinthos Davis. She offered a more “grown-up” approach to the daughter that Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) share. Mansi was able to expand on Kristina’s selfish nature while also highlighting her goodness.

Kristina attempted to do a good deed when she offered to be the surrogate for her sister, Molly (Kirsten Vaganos), and her partner, TJ (Tajh Bellow). It wouldn’t be a typical surrogacy, though. Kristina was tasked with using her own egg, which meant that the baby would be biologically related to Molly.

The storyline took a turn when Kristina worried about Molly’s relationship with TJ and considered keeping the little girl for herself. Unfortunately, when Kristina attempted to confront Ava (Maura West) about issues with Sonny, she fell out of the window of Ava’s Metro Court room and into the pool below. This caused complications, and the baby died.

What happened following the baby’s death allowed Mansi to play a wide range of very strong emotions, which led to her nomination for the role of Kristina on GH. There were several standout moments, from the scenes at the hospital to the graveside battle between her and Molly.

Kate Mansi’s Daytime History

In 2017, Mansi was nominated in the Supporting Actress category at the Daytime Emmys and took home the award. She was nominated again in the Guest Performer category in 2019, but didn’t clinch the win.
