When it comes to drama, daytime soap “General Hospital” knows how to deliver.
As far as we’re concerned, anything can happen on this show.
Here’s some of the behind-the-scenes drama of “General Hospital.”
Pullos stuck around for a while, playing the part from 2009 through 2023.
She was also a fan-favorite for longtime “General Hospital” fans.
In April 2023, Pulos allegedly caused a car crash on a Pasadena, California, freeway.
According toTMZ, she reportedly drove into oncoming traffic and created a major collision.
She also was charged with committing a hit-and-run that same night.
AsPeopleconfirmed at the time, Pullos racked up multiple felony charges, including a felony DUI.
She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In the wake of the incident, Pulos parted ways with the soap opera.
In 2023, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled in favor of ABC.
As he shared in an op-ed forReader’s Digest, his addiction to alcohol bled into his career.
While under a 20-month guardianship, according toBloomberg Law, Christopher alleged that his sister exploited the arrangement.
In a statement to Bloomberg Law, Baker denied the allegations.
“If I hadn’t been his Guardian he’d be DEAD!”
On October 31, 2023,Tyler Christopher diedat age 50.
The cause of death was a cardiac event.
I don’t know," he said.
“Anyway, I feel so bad.”
This wasn’t the first time a scammer pretended to be Benard on social media.
In 2020, the actor told hisInstagramfollowers that someone was impersonating him online.
He reminded his fans to look out for the blue checkmark next to the username.
Burton’s own love life took a turn after he left the soap opera for a second time.
He also confirmed that she was pregnant with a child that is not his.
Burton and Gustin share three children.
“Their lives have been in the coasting stage for a while,” they said.
“After a long marriage, it’s not that unusual.”
Ingo Rademacher shared a transphobic post
2021 was a particularly messy year for Ingo Rademacher.
James, who is transgender, pointed out how harmful and ignorant the post was.
Rademacher addressed the controversy in anInstagramvideo.
“Where does that leave women?
Women have fought so hard to get on a level playing field with men.”
I don’t think a transphobic man would say that."
“The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity,” she said.
“You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.”
Evidently, “General Hospital” actor Nancy Lee Grahn was not particularly moved by this moment.
#Emmys," she wrote in a since-deleted post (viaET).
Then, Grahn went on to suggest Davis has not experienced discrimination in her career.
“I think she’s the bees knees but she’s elite of TV performers.
Brilliant as she is.
She has never been discriminated against,” Grahn posted in another.
In 2011, the soap star was told she would no longer be a part of the series.
“It was surreal,” she told Soaps In Depth (viaMichael Fairman TV).
“I didn’t see it coming.”
When word got out about her firing, fans and costars alike rallied around her.
Evidently, the outcry worked: A few weeks later, Herbst was offered her job back.
This was not the only time that Herbst was in talks of leaving “General Hospital.”
“General Hospital” stars Laura Wright and Cynthia Watros know this all too well.
While the drama is all fictional, some viewers have taken things a little too far on social media.
In January 2023, one X user suggested that their disdain for Nina extended to the real-life actor.
After she saw the post, the actor simply replied, “Really?”
Wright also jumped in to defend Watros.
“Not if I were there!
Love you, Cynthia!
XOXOX,” she wrote.
In October 2023, Wright and Watros chatted withEldredge ATLabout fans crossing the line on social media.
“I just think personally attacking any actor in any way is absolutely uncalled for,” Wright said.
“That’s unacceptable.
And I have no problem blocking you.”
