Inside the 2025 General Hospital Fan Club Weekend

The 2025 General Hospital Fan Club Weekend was held from July 31 to August 3 at the Embassy Suites in Glendale, CA, and many of the soap’s stars came out to meet their fans, including veteran actor Maurice Benard (Sonny) and more recent hires like Rory Gibson (Michael). The annual celebration began Thursday evening with a kick-off party and continued all weekend long with some more intimate gatherings with just one or two actors at a time, as well as two concerts. Jonathan Jackson (ex-Lucky) performed for fans, followed by the Day Players Band, a group which includes GH’s Wally Kurth (Ned) and Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny) as well as Days of Our Lives’s Carson Boatman (Johnny) and Eric Martsolf (Brady). And on Saturday morning, the main event was held where all the actors came together as a group to participate in a Q&A, sign autographs, pose for photos, and more. Check out some shots from the star-studded weekend in our special gallery!

Jackson had his wife, Lisa Vultaggio, with him for the weekend festivities, but as some fans surely remember, she has her own professional connection to GH: From 1999-2001, she appeared as Hannah Scott, an FBI agent tasked with gathering evidence on Sonny but ended up falling for the dimpled don instead.

Kelly Thiebaud (Britt, l.) was happy to meet and greet her fans following her recent return to the Port Charles universe, though she likely kept any details of her upcoming storyline under wraps. And how much longer before we see Lydia Look (Selina) back in Port Charles? “GH fans are truly the planet’s best!” Look enthused on Instagram. “I was so happy to see old friends & new.” Britt and Selina are bound together by a shared connection to Brad, whose portrayer, Parry Shen, had a very good reason for missing out on the festivities — he was seeing The Backstreet Boys at The Sphere in Las Vegas with his wife, Kim!
