Blasts From The Past

— By Tom Stacy

Soap Opera Digest was, of course, at the annual GH Fan Club Weekend at the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, CA. Here's a glimpse at one of the more popular events of the weekend, a gathering of past cast members of GH and PORT CHARLES.

WHAT A TRIP
John Reilly (ex-Sean) joked with the crowd that "Acting with Brian [Patrick Clarke, ex-Grant] was a trip. Usually, a good trip [laughs]. I miss GH, to tell you the truth. We had a great 12-year run."

Eileen Dietz

THE HORROR OF IT ALL
Scream queen Eileen Dietz (ex-Sarah) shared, "I did one of the worst horror films of all time with Brian Patrick Clarke called Exorcism." "The worst," interjected Clarke.

OUT OF GASKILL
"I'm back and forth between Los Angeles and Nashville," reported Brian Gaskill (ex-Rafe, PC). "They can drag me back [to soaps] all they want. If they come calling, I'll talk to them."

SIR DUKE
Ian Buchanan (ex-Duke) remarked, "I was with Susan Flannery [Stephanie, B&B] in New York and we were walking down the street and somebody rolled down their car window and yelled, 'Duke forever!' And that was 20 years later."

GEORGIE GIRL
Lindze Letherman (ex-Georgie) said, "I miss the show every day. I still keep in touch with Kirsten Storms [Maxie]. We went through a lot. I heard Maxie and Spinelli are getting it on. I can't blame her if he can't have me and wants second best [laughs]."

Robert LaSardo

GOOD BAD GUY
Robert LaSardo (ex-Mateo/ex-Manny) revealed, "Father Mateo had to go to Louisiana to be in a horror movie called Autopsy. That was why I left. The fans are incredible. They want to know, 'When are you coming back? We miss you.' It really warms my heart."

REUNION STATION

FLOWN THE COOP
Jason Gerhardt (ex-Coop) hosted his own off-campus fan event the night before. "It was a smash hit," he nodded. "We had dinner, dancing. Ignacio [Serricchio, ex-Diego] came and made people laugh. It was a great night."

It was so good to see Brian Gaskill there! Loved him as Rafe and I hope some other show will snatch him up and give him a long-term contract. I'd love to see him on GH or maybe back on AMC as Bobby.

Cooper! Jason Gerhardt.. I miss him so much. Cooper needs to be brought back from the dead, they've done it before, they can do it again! He is an amazing actor.. and GORGEOUS. Bring him back please. Maxie needs him. :]

Loved seeing Brian Gaskill there. AMC definitely needs to snatch him back, as Bobby or any new character! I just want to see him back on my soap. I miss Port Charles so much, but would gladly watch him on AMC too.
