Have you ever wanted to meet your favorite actors from General Hospital? Well, you are in luck!
Meet Cute
Coastal Entertainment has been bringing the actors and fans together since the early 90’s! Owner Linda Rohe, who started the company, recounted that soap actors were not her primary bookings. “I was working booking comedy clubs with comedians and managing comedians. I hadn’t watched soaps in years and never planned to even bring soap stars into my business. I was asked to book a soap opera event at a comedy club in Queens and so I went to the city and waited outside of ABC [where All My Children filmed]. I had met Michael E. Knight (Martin, General Hospital) a few times in my travels and reintroduced myself. He directed me to (the late) John Callahan (Edmund), who was coming out of the studio, and John hopped into my car for a lift across town. We talked the whole way, and he had Kelly Ripa (Hayley) call me that night. They teamed up on a show then word got around and I started booking a lot of events.”
In the years since, she has made hundreds of fans dreams of meeting the actors who bring their favorite Port Charles characters to life. She also works exclusively with The Day Players, which consists of Days of Our Lives castmates, Matthew Ashford (Jack), Brandon Barash (Stefan/Jake), Carson Boatman (Johnny) and Wally Kurth (Justin). Boatman discussed being part of the band in an interview with Soap Hub earlier this month.
The company has even branched out and does zoom events to bring more actors and fans together. In the coming months, General Hospital actors Tabyana Ali (Trina), Bradford Anderson (Spinelli), Steve Burton (Jason), Rick Hearst (Ric), Roger Howarth (Austin), Finola Hughes (Anna), Jonathan Jackson (Lucky), Josh Kelly (Cody), Vanessa Marcil (Brenda), Eden McCoy (Josslyn), Chris McKenna (Brennan), Rena Sofer (Lois), James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) and Laura Wright (Carly) will take part in both in-person and zoom events.
