NEWS ROUNDUP: GH's Burton & Anderson Invest In The Beer Market, Rick Springfield Previews GH Return

The Beer Market is slated to open in late March.

“We have a lot of the same interests and enjoy the same things,” said Indie Soap Award nominee Bradford Anderson. “We loved the idea. We both enjoy craft beer and live music. It just seemed like the perfect place.”

Anderson said one of the things he finds most appealing about the business is it will be a place to showcase live bands and local talent from the Chicago area.

When Underwood excitedly provided even more backstory and key plot-points, Springfield joked that he should have called her to fill him on the latest GENERAL HOSPITAL developments before he accepted the role.

Underwood did seem to get an interesting detail from Springfield when she suggested, "If you would get with Anna Devane, that would really be good!" Although the audience laughed over Springfield's response, Underwood's reaction suggested that she might have guessed correctly. "Y'all do? Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" she gushed.
