Adam Huss and Alicia Leigh Willis, who played Nikolas Cassadine and Courtney Matthews, respectively, on General Hospital, are teaming up for a new film, titled In Her Sleep. The project is being directed and co-written by One Life to Live alum Brittany Underwood, known for her role as Langston.

This marks Underwood’s first time writing a full-length feature, and she’s also directing it alongside Dylan Myers. She collaborated with writer and director Nick Roth, who is known for Hanky Panky.

Huss shared some behind-the-scenes shots on his Instagram from the set and called Willis his “lovely love interest” in the film. The caption read:

"Lovely day on set with these folks and another very talented #generalhospital alum @alicialeighwillis playing my lovely love interest. Directed by the awesome @britt_underwood and @theoneandonlydielon with the assist"

Willis, now known as Alicia Foust after marrying race car driver Tanner Foust in 2024, also posted about the project on Instagram. She praised Underwood and said she felt lucky to be part of something written and directed by one of her favorite people.

Fans immediately reacted to the reunion of Nikolas and Courtney, with one viewer calling it a dream team-up and asking for both to return to General Hospital.

For now, they’ll be seen together again in this new film—and more details are expected soon.

Everything you need to know about General Hospital alums Adam Huss and Alicia Leigh Willis' new project

Adam Huss and Alicia Leigh Willis are doing a General Hospital reunion in an unexpected way—this time on a different set. The two are starring together in the upcoming film In Her Sleep, marking their first on-screen collaboration.

For longtime General Hospital fans, this is a full-circle moment. Willis played Courtney Matthews from 2001 until the character’s death in 2006.

Courtney, the sister of Jason Morgan and daughter of Mike Corbin, was a central character in several major storylines, including her romance with Nikolas Cassadine, played at the time by Tyler Christopher.

Courtney gave birth to Spencer Cassadine during a health crisis and tragically died from complications of encephalitis shortly after.

Adam Huss stepped into the role of Nikolas Cassadine decades later, taking over during several pivotal appearances from 2021 to 2023.

While Huss and Willis never appeared together on-screen during their General Hospital runs, their characters are forever linked—Courtney being the mother of Nikolas’ son, Spencer. Their connection remains part of current storylines, as Courtney is still referenced often in Spencer’s life.

Now, in In Her Sleep, Huss and Willis finally share the screen—this time as romantic leads. It's a surprising and meaningful pairing for soap fans who remember the emotional weight of their General Hospital history.

It’s a fictional reunion that never actually happened on GH, which makes this film even more interesting to soap fans.

In Her Sleep doesn’t have a release date yet, and no trailer or official synopsis has been posted, but it’s clearly a passion project. With Underwood directing, Roth co-writing, and two soap veterans in the lead roles, it’s already getting attention.

Whether it’s a drama, romance, or something else entirely, it’s the kind of off-screen reunion that daytime viewers have been waiting on for years, just not in the way they expected.
