Ned Quartermaine, who?! Eddie Maine (Wally Kurth) wanted to live the good life, full of music and mayhem. Overnight, Ned Quartermaine went from business man to front man after a slip and fall accident at the Metro Court. Although his loved ones were devastated by the incident, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) will feel relieved that Ned woke up as a completely different man. One that she wasn’t around to see.
Eddie and Olivia’s Underwater Adventure
The 1990s were really something, and General Hospital’s relevance in society weighed heavily on its entertainment value and social issues. Back then the popularity of the Nurses Ball allowed for a great platform to spread AIDS awareness during the 90s.
Music has always been a part of General Hospital. Many recall Rick Springfield from the ABC Soap Opera, General Hospital. He played Dr. Noah Drake. He was a doctor by day and a rockstar by night. Hannah Montana, oops, I mean Frankie.
GH spoilers tease that Ned is back after Eddie took his polar plunge. So, why did Eddie jump into undesirably cold waters? Was he faking the whole time and used this moment to remember his life? Regardless, it doesn’t even matter if he was faking the entire time or not. What matters is that Nina is going to be shaking harder than if she has 10 cups of Corinthos Coffee. Will Ned tell Nina’s SEC secret scandal?
Over the years Luke Spencer’s (Tony Geary) and his adventurous lifestyle brought in some great loves. Maybe it was the allure of the danger, skills, and strength that attracted women to Luke. Whatever the case, Luke and Laura went on to become the most iconic couple in daytime.
While Laura is the love of Luke’s life, others came in close with fiery passion and genuine commonalities. One woman in particular caught Luke’s eye and the feeling was mutual. Skye Quartermaine (Robinson Chistopher) eventually became the object of his affection, even if it was for a short time. As General Hospital history shows, Luke had a special nickname for the ginger haired beauty.
Previously, General Hospital Blog shared recent GH spoilers and rumors regarding newcomer, Blaze. Alison Rogers goes by the name Blaze as she rises to stardom as the hottest new pop star. Suspicions around her family tree arose after Blaze and Kristina discussed the singer’s heritage. Additionally, Tracy’s sudden concern for Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) came out of left field. And her adamant refusal to allow Blaze to become The Face of Deception sends up some red flags.
Luke Calls Skye Quartermaine Blaze
General Hospital spoilers tease that Blaze is actually Skye Quartermaine and Lorenzo Alcazar’s (Ted King) daughter. Coincidentally, the young woman shares a nickname with Skye. The fiery redhead’s Luke-given pet name was a reflection of what Skye was to Luke. Does the name Blaze ring a bell?
Tracy Quartermaine has never liked Skye for how she weaseled her way into the Quartermaine family and finances. Now, petty jealousy seems to be the issue.
Anthony Geary’s Jackie Zeman tribute reminds us of why General Hospital has been going strong for 60 years. …It’s not every day actors jump aboard the ship of a new working endeavor and sail off into paradise. In reality, a well-written storyline can only take a show so far. But it’s the actors who light up the screen that make the magic happen. Arguably, much of General Hospital’s success can be attributed to it’s extraordinary cast.
In television, many times the chemistry between co-stars is nonexistent. And sometimes there is some underlying reason that a show, a storyline, or even the characters themselves become a flop. Most gratefully, that’s not the case when it comes to the actors who made General Hospital what it is today. Jackie Zeman leaves her legacy as having been part of what was quite possibly the most iconic daytime tv crew. Her group of co-stars and off-screen pals include Anthony Geary (Lucas Lorenzo Spencer), Genie Francis (Laura Webber Spencer Collins), Kristina Wagner and John J. York (Felicia and Mac Scorpio), among other veteran actors.
General Hospital News
Following the tragic news of Jackie Zeman’s passing, co-star and life-long friend Anthony Geary paid tribute to his former co-star and tv sibling. Geary’s statement was told to TV Line after news about Jackie broke out. He said, “I was fortunate enough to play Jackie Zeman’s big brother on General Hospital. In all those years, I never heard her utter one disparaging word about any actor, crew member or co-worker. In fact, I never heard Jackie express an unkind word about anyone, ever.
“In a highly competitive profession where ego, feelings and emotions are bread and butter, I’ve found this quality to be extremely rare. I expect it will be even more rare now that dear Jackie is gone,” he added. “She was quite simply one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known.”
That has got to be the most genuine thing to say about someone. Although we didn’t know her personally, it’s obvious that Jackie’s presence was a peaceful, lighthearted, and positive spirit to be around. Thanks to Geary, the fans have a better understanding of who Jaclyn Zeman was as a beloved mother, friend, actor, and more.
Over the years, Zeman and Geary became close friends. The love and respect they have for one another is crystal clear in Anthony’s statement. When reflecting on his friend’s life, he added, “I will miss her laugh, and the deep, soulful look in her eyes whenever she expressed the love and pride she had in her two lovely daughters. Tonight, l already miss her, and feel a powerful ache where Jackie’s smile used to be.”
We continue to keep Jackie’s loved ones in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep checking back for updates regarding GH’s tribute episode.
