Trivia:
While filming on location at Mount Rushmore, Sharon Wyatt's quick ad-libbing saved the show from having to re-shoot after a fan recognized her and walked into the scene saying, "Look, it's Tiffany." In character, she quickly replied, "You must recognize me from one of my movies," and quickly moved the fan from the scene.

I heard there was a problem with Sam?
Alexis Davis Cassadine: She's in surgery, both she and her baby are at risk.
Ric Lansing: What happened?
Alexis Davis Cassadine: I'm not even sure.
Ric Lansing: Were you with her?
Alexis Davis Cassadine: I went to the Chapel to ask her, to beg her to reconsider. I told her that she was Kristina's only hope, and then I pleaded with her to give the stem cells. Mother to mother.
Ric Lansing: What did she say?
Alexis Davis Cassadine: She said she couldn't do it, and I got so upset. I don't know what I did. I just pushed her. I pushed her and pushed her. And then - then she agreed and then she fell down in pain.

I watch General Hospital all the time, and i must say, it is the best the ever! It is a SoapOpera, but, i think even men will enjoy it. (I say that because men do watch it, but mostly women) There is just enough action to keep the men interested, and enough passion to keep the women. The show is just a good show, point blank! Its plots are amazing, you never know what will happen next. Also, the characters are written to a Tee, so you fall inlove with them, and end up picking favorites, and picking those you don't like! Some people say the show is not good anymore, but i disagree. If you were to of watched back in the day, it had a much different feeling, now, mob families rule Port Charles (where General Hospital is located) But, story lines don't just center around that. If you decide to give GH a try, some characters you should look for are Edward, Monica, Alan, Luke, Tracy, Bobbie, Leslie and Audry. They are have been on the show for a long time. This show is my opinion, out of a 1-worst, 10-Best, id give it a 9. It is always keeps me entertained, but, nothing is perfect, even General Hospital!
