GH: Sonny makes love - not (gang) warSonny shocks everyone Friday on "General Hospital" by not killing someone - and then he has sex with his wife.

When Soap Opera Mania on Tour opens Saturday at the Anderson Conference Center, Macon attendees will likely recognize one familiar face — for more than the obvious reasons. That face belongs to Natalia Livingston, Macon’s own girl-next-door, who now occupies an esteemed — and envied — spot in the hearts of many GENERAL HOSPITAL viewers.

“Oh I did enjoy my time on CORONATION STREET. I said I might go back, have a pint in the Rovers Return. I have very fond memories. I think a long-running soap is a very interesting way of looking at the social history of a time and a place,” Kingsley told The Sun.

INTERVIEW: DAYS' Taylor Spreitler (Mia)
"I think Days did a good job of showing the tougher side of teen pregnancy. I don’t think it’s exactly an easy thing for teenagers to go through. It was difficult even just wearing a belly. I couldn’t even put on my own shoes when I was wearing it."
