(WATCH THE REPLAY) ‘A Tribute to Jackie Zeman’ Featuring General Hospital Co-Stars
Several of the late Jackie Zeman’s (Bobbie Spencer) former General Hospital co-stars gathered together last Thursday night, to honor the beloved actress during a special livestream event on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel.
Joining in remembrance of Zeman, who passed away in May following a short bout with cancer, were several of the loves of Bobbie’s life including: Rick Springfield (ex-Noah), Brad Maule (ex-Tony) and Sam Behrens (ex-Jake). In addition, Kin Shriner (Scott), Jackie’s longtime GH co-star and dear friend participated, as well as Tamara Braun (ex-Carly, GH, now Ava Days) and Tristan Rogers (Scorpio).
Throughout the hour, love was sent Jackie’s way, not only from the stars, but the fans participating in the live chat. Each actor recalled their first meeting with Jackie, and in Rick Springfield’s case, how it was Jackie who told then GH-EP Gloria Monty, that he was her pick to play Dr. Noah Drake.
Later, Brad Maule shared heart-tugging moments when working with Jackie and how he was pretty much in awe of her throughout their time together on the soap. When the talk turned to the iconic B.J. heart transplant storyline, Brad says it’s still difficult for him to watch even to this day, because of how emotional it was.
Tamara Braun, who was the second actress to play Carly, Bobbie’s daughter, revealed how she tried to, and did find peace in Jackie’s passing, as Kin Shriner gave us the back-story of his over 45-year friendship with Jackie, and Tristan revealed his special connection to her.
In case you missed it, you can catch the replay below. Then let us know what you thought of our tribute to Jackie featuring some of her GH co-stars, who showed up to give us some insights on their time working with Jackie, and to be a part of our special remembrance.
Adam Huss Returns to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine
Look who’s back on General Hospital! Adam Huss, who had filled-in on several occasions for Marcus Coloma as Nikolas Cassadine during his run, was seen at the end of Thursday’s episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
Rumors had been rampant, as to what would become of the character, and who could play the dark prince of the Cassadine clan, following Coloma’s exit from the show several months ago.
When viewers last saw Nikolas, it was Huss who played the role when the character was being kept alive while in a coma, and in an undisclosed location. As viewers have learned, Austin (Roger Howarth) has played a part in this and is keeping quite a secret from Ava (Maura West) about Nikolas.
At the end of Thursday’s GH, Austin strolled by a house and was asking how someone was feeling. We next see a very much alive and well, Nikolas sipping a beer, who then says, Thank you, Doc. It’s kind of you to ask.”
Will Huss now be the permanent replacement for the character moving forward? Many fans sure hope this is the case.
So, what do you think about Adam Huss being back as GH’s Nikolas? Comment below.
Haley Pullos Returns to Court Over Car Crash and Felony Counts
Haley Pullos was back in court yesterday on August 30th, after pleading not guilty, in the ongoing case of the felony charges levied against her in a major car crash back in April of this year.
At that time, Pullos was arrested for colliding head-on into another vehicle, when she was driving the wrong way on the freeway. She also hit another car before that. Since then, the actress has been on an extended leave from her role as Molly on General Hospital. Since her DUI-incident, two other actress have filled in for her – Holiday Mia Kriegel and currently, Brooke Ann Smith.
According to the Daily Mail, during her court appearance, the judge adjourned the case until October, so attorney’s could exchange evidence ahead of her trial. Haley is charged with one felony count of DUI causing injury, one felony count of driving with a .08 BAC or higher, and one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run.
Pullos, who reportedly used crutches during last month’s court appearance, appeared this time wearing a black ankle brace.
The driver of the other car in the crash was identified as 23-year-old Courtney Wilder, who sustained serious injuries and was rushed to hospital, and almost died. Reportedly, Pullos is also being sued by the victim. In the lawsuit, the victim claims, Pullos ‘dangerously and recklessly’ drove her vehicle the wrong way up the off-ramp to Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena and onto the Eastbound Freeway.
The report also alleged that Pullos hit a firefighter who was assessing her injuries and shouted,’This is a $400 f****** shirt!’, seemingly unaware of what happened to the other driver.
