“General Hospital” will be celebrating its 52nd birthday in 2015, and in honor of the continued success of the series, the official “GH” fan club will be holding its annual weekend where fans of the daytime drama series can meet and interact with the entire cast.

“General Hospital” is littered with talented individuals who can not only act circles around anyone who may appear next to them on screen, but they can also sing as well, as evidenced by the Nurses Balls and even ABC Daytime’s now defunct Broadway Cares charity events. Jason Thompson, who portrays Patrick Drake on the daytime drama series, is no different.

“In the immortal words of Cher, you better sit down, kids,” wrote soap columnist Carolyn Hinsey, who has penned her final “It’s Only My Opinion” for Soap Opera Digest magazine, which appears in the January 5, 2015 issue. “I’ve taken another job, which means I have to give up this column and I am really sorry about that.”

As previously reported, the entire cast of the South African based SABC1 soap “Generations,” not to be confused with the American soap with the same name that aired on NBC, were fired following demands of better pay.

Retitled as “Generations: The Legacy,” producers kept their promise of replacing the cast with a new set of actors and stories as the series returned earlier this month with a story that brings the soap two years into the future.
