Daytime Emmy winner Cynthia Watros portrayed one of television’s most iconic characters as the love-to-hate villain Annie Dutton on the Procter & Gamble soap opera Guiding Light. Still, it was one random acting choice that transformed Annie from sweet and lovable into a living legend.
Last year, Watros was interviewed by Remind Magazine‘s Stephanie Sloane, where she reflected on her time in the industry, including her performances on Another World and The Young and the Restless.

During the conversation, Watros explained how she added in a line while filming an episode of Guiding Light that changed everything. “I added in that I had a terrible headache,” she explained.
Watros went on to share that she didn’t know what made her so brave to say, “I have a headache,’ and I grabbed my head.”
Ultimately, the writers saw the scene and decided to run with it. “The writers wrote in that Annie starts taking pain medication for her headache, and then I started getting addicted to pain medication, and then it just spiraled to where I was doing all sorts of crazy stuff.”
As the story played out, Annie’s schemes and plans to keep the love of her life, Joshua Lewis (Robert Newman), away from his soulmate Reva Shayne (Kim Zimmer) were a dream come true, and Watros described her storylines as “a blast.”
Watros portrayed Annie from November 29, 1994, until February 23, 1998, when she left the series to explore other opportunities. The role was then briefly recast with Signy Coleman taking over, appearing for a year before exiting the series in 1999.
These days, Watros can be seen portraying businesswoman and schemer Nina Reeves on the ABC soap opera General Hospital.
For her work on Guiding Light, Watros took home the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1998.
New episodes of General Hospital air weekdays on ABC with episodes streaming weeknights on Disney+ and Hulu.
