The weekend was filled with Q&A's with the stars. One "General Hospital" session featured Bradford Anderson (Spinelli), Brandon Barash (Johnny), and Laura Wright (Carly). Bradford actually challenged Laura to name all the roles she's played on daytime, and she did it without missing a beat (FYI, the answer is: Ally on "Loving/The City", then Cassie on "Guiding Light," and then Carly on "GH"). While discussing Michael's recent awakening, Laura joked "He went into the coma as a 12 year old and woke up 17 and with a six pack. That's really good physical therapy." But Bradford totally called it when he mentioned that Drew Garret (Michael) looks like a young Steve Burton (Jason). Because, when we think about it, he really does. "They must have cloned him twenty years ago," he said.
Brandon talked about Johnny's recent cougar action with Olivia. Fans have nicknamed them "Jolivia," which a) that's an awesome name, and b) the coupling got a huge positive response from the audience. Do you agree: Yea or nay on Johnny/Olivia?
When asked about the creation of Spinelli, Bradford explained that the writers wanted a character that mixed Seth Green (the actor from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") with Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Bradford also showed how he gets into character -- it involves taking his normally well coiffed hair and messing it up, Spinelli style.
Laura answered the "#1 question I'm asked," which is: "Who's the better kisser, Sonny or Jax?" Laura responded that both are excellent but confided her best daytime kiss was Steve Burton. The audience went wild at the mention of Stone Cold. "Strange, mine was too" Bradford joked.
