Snippets from the GH Fan Club Event.

Monday, August 13 2007


Scott Clifton sings his heart out. (ABC)
July maybe be July to some people, but to General Hospital fans, it's the month that hosts the GH Fan Club Weekend! This year, it took place on July 12 - 14 and was hosted at the Sportman's Lodge Event Center on L.A.'s Ventura Boulevard. Soaps.com didn't send a delegate (this year!), but I have managed to scrounge up some juicy tidbits for you. (Who am I kidding; they are for me, too!) Since we have hours to kill before today's eppy comes on, put your feet up and dig in!

Because I am an equal opportunity scooper, I've put these in no particular order.

*Josh Duhon (Logan Hayes) had a line of female fans that weren't always in line. Can you say "Mobbed"? (Of course you can, you're a GH fan, "Mob" is our middle name!)

*Scott Clifton (ex-Dillon Q) shared his musical side with fans by playing his guitar and singing. He raised his beer bottle to his fans and thanked them for coming to his last fan event. (Hey, what happened to "never say never"?) He announced that he's been doing voice-over work and is putting together a band. Then he surprised Lindze Letherman (Georgie) by pulling her to her feet and reliving their on-screen waltz.

*Ignacio Serricchio (ex-Diego) entertained the crowd via his band named "Three And A Half Feet Under)

*Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) told fans that he and Stone Cold (Steve Burton) are good friends in real life, too. They have been known to have sleepovers and golf outings!

*Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing) brought his video cam so he could record fans' enthusiasm for his personal scrapbook. He also put his mother's company, Nonna's Family Catering, in charge of food!

*Kimberly McCullough (Robin) told a little-known secret to the crowd. Jason Thompson (Patrick) goes to bed at 10 every night!

*Stuart Damon (Alan Q.) received a standing ovation! (Well deserved, don't you think?)

*Sebastian Roche (Jerry Jacks) was so overwhelmed by the fans that he said he felt like a rock star! He also was heard saying that he thinks that Jerry, Alexis and Carly should have a threesome!

*Megan Ward (Kate Howard) brought her mother-in-law and her niece to enjoy her first ever GH fan event. She told fans that Sonny is her favorite character that she's ever worked with. (Who is surprised by that, not me!)

*Derk and Drew Cheetwood (Max and Milo) brought their mother who was visiting from Ohio. (Little known fact, your Soaps.com GH Editor is from Ohio, so go Buckeyes!) Derk announced that his wife is pregnant!

*Leslie Charleson and Stuart Damon (Monica & Alan) were recognized for their 30 years on GH. (Fans all received a 38-page book of their character's history!) Leslie told fans that it was better than winning an Emmy.

*Rachel Ames (Audrey Hardy), Gail Ramsey (Susan Moore - Jason's birth mother!) and Steve Bond (ex-Jimmy Lee Holt), Jeffrey Byron (Anna Lee's son) showed up to pay tribute to Alan & Monica! Tamara Braun (Carly #2) was on hand for the Ted King (ex-Alcazar) event.

*Ted King (the late? Lorenzo Alcazar) joked with his fans that's he's considering doing "Dancing with the Stars" or "Pimp my Ride".

*Greg Vaughan (Lucky) received a hand-knitted blanket for his new baby son, along with silver spoons and other great gifts. (If Lucky loses baby Jake at least Greg can go home to his real son at home!)

*Steve Burton explained his long hair! He said that the TNT movie that he's starring in (AND producing!) is scheduled to start shooting in 2009 now. (Does that mean that he'll get a haircut between now and then?)

*Natalia Livingston (Emily) told fans that Emily is a terrible friend to Elizabeth. (Huh?)

*Minae Noji (Dr. Kelly Lee) had fans in stitches (pardon the episiotomy humor) with her comedic timing.

*Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) told fans that her mother was born with a cleft pallet and thanked Becky Herbst for her fundraising efforts in repairing cleft pallets in children.

*Maurice Benard (Sonny!) let his two year-old son take the stage with him, but the little guy got stage fright.

*Laura Wright (Carly) told fans that Carly and Alexis are like "Lucy & Ethel". (For those of you who are too young to know who that is, trust me, it's funny.)

That's about it guys. Next year, I hope that I get to go to this event, or that some of you will go and be our eyes and ears! In the meantime, this article will have to do!

I am so tired of everyone calling Sam a skank and con artist. First off Sonny,Jax and Jason knew. And who the Hell are Jason or Sonny to judge Sam when the both are gangsters {I like them both but they are killers}Did anyone forget that Sam killed two men to protect Jason and for her troubles she got shot in the back. She also saw to it that he recieved brain surgery to save his life. Noone can compare Liz bandaging him up a couple of times with what Sam has done for him. And Sam being a skank is funny, when Carly is the biggest skank and con artist in town {let me count the ways} Carly also slept with her stepfather{plotted}, married 4 wealthy men A.J,Sonny, Lorenzo and now Jax {Carly didn't work for anything shes got!!! As for goodytwo shoes Liz,maybe if she showed more respect for her husband he would't be such a low self-esteemed loser. Case in point: going behind his back to borrow money from his brother and Jason. Attemting to be a surrogate for Jax when Lucky was against it. Liz has a pattern of demeaning Lucky and using the same old tired excuses (it's for his own good or he'll go back on drugs again. But the worst lie is having him raise another man's child; whom you say has a dangerous life style; but she visits him on a daily basis which shows her having a close connection by anyone wanting to do him harm, so her argument about protecting Jake is bull!!! And Jason can't leave the mob he knows too much....

Why are soaps so predicible!! Why does Sam have to sleep with Lucky? Aren't the writers creative enough to come up with a better payback scheme other than everyone always bed hopping. Besides Lucky is going through enough {give him some Spencer backbone}

Everyone is alwys saying that Jason has loved Liz foreverNOT!!! Robin was the love of his life and he broke up with her because she told a secret about Michael. Now hypocritical Jason dismisses the biggest Lie of all Liz not telling him about Jake and continuing to lie to her husband. So Jason's history of being honest to a fault went up in smoke when he hooked with Liz!!!!!

I loved Sonny and Kate fromt he beginning and still enjoy watching them together. I wish GH was on 2 hours per day instead of only 1...........it goes by too fast.

I too would like to see Lucky get some Spencer back bone.

I think he might have an idea as to what Sam is up to, but he is choosing to turn a blind eye so he can retaliate on Liz for hurting him.

I am hurt, Liz lied so I can sleep with Sam if it is because we were suporting each other, poor me.......

I like that Sam is semi-transparent even with Lucky, he would have to have his head up his..... to not see what she is doing.

And hanging out with Sam the way Liz hangs out and on with Jason is fair. Except that Sam and Lucky do not have a kid together that they are saying belongs to Jason!!!!

I like the story line lots of ideas to work with!!!!!

Thank you. I had to check that I was on the right page. I was expecting these great comments about the event and again it's about Sam and Liz!!

Anyways, it was so sweet that Stuart Damon got a standing ovation. If I was there, I would have been in tears but standing and cheering and clapping as loud as everyone else! He will be missed! It was sweet that fans got a history of Alan and Monica, they were funny, even when arguing!

Derk, congrats on the baby news!

Steve, cut your hair, it's still two years away, you can grow it again.

I already miss Scott Clifton, he was so funny, and a good actor and loveable and reliable and smart and fair, etc, etc. Hopefully not his last fan event.

Bradford, so good to see that you and Steve get along outside of GH, I'm sure it helps with the chemistry on-screen.

Natalia, I agree, Emily has been a bad friend to Liz. She is going through all this and Emily is never around for anything. LOL

Again who are sonny and Jason to judge anyone they stole A.J.'s son and Jax stole Nick's. I'm not excusing Sam's action but her past should just be that. And let me repeat; Carly slept with 4 rich men Sonny, A.J., Lorenzo and now Jax and she slept with her stepfather include her as a skank too.Sonny and Jason are criminals lets not make them the good guys.
