He began watching soaps in 1993, around the time Luke and Laura Spencer returned to “General Hospital,” but they weren’t what got him watching regularly. “It was Lucy Coe and her duck Sigmond,” he says of how he got started with soaps.
He received his BA from Baruch College, double-majoring in English Literature and Journalism, and double-minoring in Communications and Psychology. He also holds an AA in Business Administration.

Being in charge of a powerhouse daytime lineup and the first-run syndication arm of one of the industries biggest production houses can’t compare to the world of motherhood.

On Sunday, April 26, “Days of our Lives” star Freddie Smith took home his first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Sonny Kiriakis on the soap – the actor was previously nominated in the category in 2013.

The reunion of Luke and Laura Spencer on Sunday night’s “Daytime Emmys” telecast appears to have been just a tease of what’s to come on ABC’s “General Hospital.” The network announced today that Genie Francis will once again reprise her iconic role as the matriarch of the Spencer clan alongside eight time Emmy winner, Anthony Geary.
The Daytime Emmy Awards returned to television for the first time since 2013 on Sunday, April 26 and nearly 900,000 viewers tuned into the broadcast on Pop according to Nielsen Media Research ratings data released Monday.
