Kroll Call

General Hospital’s 50th anniversary may have officially come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that the celebration has to stop. John Homa, the on-set casting coach at GH for nearly two decades, returns to Soap Central Live to share more behind-the-scenes stories of life in Port Charles. John will talk about what really went into some of GH’s most memorable scenes. Then, General Hospital would not have reached this milestone had it not been for the support of the fans. Jeff “Dock” Dockweiler returns to update fans on the status of Paos Revolution’s new web series, “Perfect Day,” a series that will allow soap fans to spend a day with their favorite soap stars – all for a good cause. This episode of Soap Central Live is dedicated to Allison J. Waldman, a respected soap opera journalist who, for more than five years, wrote Two Scoops columns for The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless on soapcentral.com. Allison lost her battle with cancer earlier this week. Join us for a special tribute to our wonderful friend.

When it comes to soap operas, there are certain names that are iconic, names known to even those who have never watched a soap opera on a regular basis. An estimated 30 million people tuned in to watch General Hospital's Luke and Laura tie the knot, instantly making Genie Francis one of the most recognizable actresses in soap opera history. Now, Genie Francis pays her first visit to Soap Central Live to talk about her storied run on General Hospital, her new (and totally different) role as Genevieve on The Young and the Restless, and her other projects. Then, Genie will be reunited with her on-screen General Hospital mom, Denise Alexander, to talk about working on the hilarious hit web series, Pretty: The Series. What drew them both to the project, and do they see a future for soapy entertainment on the Internet? Both Genie and Denise will be taking calls from fans, so it's truly an opportunity that fans will not want to miss -- and we think that's Pretty cool.
