The annual “General Hospital” Fan Club Weekend is more than 130 days away, but it’s never too early to find out who’s scheduling time with their fans. On Sunday, July 28 from 9:00 PM to midnight, “GH’s” Teresa Castillo (Sabrina Santiago) and Emily Wilson (Ellie Trout) will be hosting “Girls’ Night Out” at the Sportsmen’s Lodge Hotel in Studio City, CA.

At a cost of $85 per person, “Girls’ Night Out” is described as an event where “fashion styles come and go and beauty trends fade in and out. One thing that’s always in style is  quality time with your friends. At Girls Night Out, expect the unexpected. One thing you can expect is a lot of laughter, gossip and a few friends from the hospital to stop by. Rule number one: Whatever happens at ‘Girls’ Night Out’ stays at ‘Girls’ Night Out!’”

On Tuesday, March 12, during the east coast broadcast of ABC’s “General Hospital“” (2:00 – 3:00 PM ET/11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT), fans of Kelly Sullivan (Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri) will be able to tweet live with the soap star as she discusses her characters. Yes, her characters!

In the episode, Connie Falconeri is releasing her first novel titled “Love in Maine,” which is in actuality a corporate tie-in with Disney/ABC Television Group’s Hyperpion Books, and the site of the launch event turns into a scandal when Molly Lansing-Davis (Haley Pullos) and TJ (Tequan Richmond) show up with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Shawn (Sean Blakemore) to assert their claim that Connie didn’t write the book – Molly did. Will Kate back them up? Meanwhile, Sonny has a hunch that Connie has reemerged and goes in search of her. Who will he find when he finally tracks her down? It is a book launch party that cannot be missed!

If you were already smitten with “The Young and the Restless” star Ignacio Serricchio (Alex Chavez), you’re about to love him even more. Soap Opera Network recently caught up with the busy actor, who spilled about the dangerous way he spends his free time, how he feels about representing Latinos in the media and his thoughts on a possible family member popping up in Genoa City!
