@RedHourBen @ronnychieng I had the honor of working with your Dad on “TKOQ”. After the table read, I was canned & your father talked to the producers & got me my job back. When I thanked him, he said, “Hey, it’s not Shakespeare!” A class act & a legend. What a gift to the world. Deepest condolences.

Johnny Wactor was a beautiful, beautiful soul. So talented. As you can see from the promo clip, always up for anything. Funny as all heck. Fit as all hell but also loved ice cream and ate all the junk I did as well. We all were cheated of many years with him.

Sonya was a versatile, hardworking & extremely talented actor. At one point I counted her recurring on 4 different TV shows at the same time. Funny, down2earth and always up for anything — this clip from our 2016 LipSync Battle perfect captures that. It’s been an honor, Sonya ❤️

An absolute legend. I loved hearing her stories .about the show in the 70s & 80s. Always so kind & down to earth. You will be so missed, Jackie. Condelences to her daughters, family & legions of fans who have loved Bobbie Spencer for decades.
Jacklyn Zeman has been a beloved member of the ‘General Hospital’ and ABC family since she originated the iconic role of Bobbie Spencer over 45 years ago. She leaves behind a lasting legacy for her Emmy-nominated portrayal of the bad girl turned heroine and will always be

Remember when I tweeted about seeing @tristanrogers for the 1st time on @GeneralHospital when I was 8yrs old? I thought he was so cool & jotted his name inside a Charlie Brown ‘Cyclopedia so I wouldn’t forget it? Well, guess who signed it today 37 yrs later?! 🤗 #GH

A little BTS on “I Knew You Were Waiting” — we got the song on a Thurs, laid down our vocals 4 days later & sang to our track 3 days later when filming the episode. What a great showcase for the #Bratt .friendship, huh? Thx to all on #gh for making it happen! @kellythiebaud

We’d been shooting today’s Lucas wake up scene for awhile and our Wiley was starting to get a bit fussy. @WilliamdeVry1 then brilliantly grabs a latex glove & blows it up to @Theo_Erik_Olson’s delight. I got to run with it on camera, but all credit goes to Wil 4 the save! #GH

2 photos I grabbed at the Laker game Nov 17, 2019 witnessing Kobe & Gianna Bryant snapping a photo w/ Kevin Hart. The crowd cheered the LOUDEST the entire night, when the camera panned to him momentarily. The level of respect he had on everyone in the house was undeniable.

We took away all of our youngest daughter’s technology as incentive to clean her room. Instead, she procrastinated for HOURS by making a cut-out craft project of the entire family. Room still is not clean but you can’t even be really mad, right? 🤨

Just learned from my Father-In-Law that when he got out of surgery in Aug, the staff questioned him about “stealing a baby”, he mumbled about while under sedation. To which he corrected them, “Oh, not me, my Son-In-Law.” 😱 I’m legit lucky I’m not in prison for reals! 😳#GH

Who wants hashbrowns? Made enough for the duration of quarantine (June-ish?) Pretty easy-peel a few potatoes, grate ‘em, squeeze out the liquid (the secret for crispy taters), some canola oil (higher smoke point), salt & flip ‘em in batches when they brown and hold together! 😋
