Many Sonny/Carly scenes surrounding Morgans death placed Wright on the Lead Actress list, but
I have no idea what happened that Benard didnt get a Lead Actor nod, she says.

Who Was Overlooked?


Both Grahn and Wright agree that Maurice Benard (Sonny) should have made
the Lead Actor list. Im still in shock that my partner was not nominated, sighs
Wright. I saw his reel; it was incredible. I thought I would have a harder time
getting nominated than him. Thats how great his reel was.
Adds Grahn: I dont know how these things work anymore. Maurice had a
good year, too. You just dont know whats what.

Can You Watch The Emmys On TV?


At press time, a broadcast announcement had yet to be
made, but In Depth hears that a deal is close to being nal-
ized. In the meantime, fans can request tickets to attend the
ceremony, which will be held on Sunday, April 30, at the
Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, CA. Visit http://
emmyonline.com/day_44th_fan_tickets for information.
And check out the Emmys on Facebook for a schedule of
chats hosted by GHs Carolyn Hennesy (Diane)!

BIRTHDAY
BASH
The folks at GENERAL HOSPITAL threw Maurice
Benard (Sonny) one knockout of a birthday party!

PHOTOS BY
JIM WARREN

In case you couldnt guess the theme, it


was boxing, of course! It just happens to
be Benards big passion!

Benard was all smiles for
the birthday ceremony and
loved getting to spend it with
GH friends like Laura Wright
(Carly). This is nice, he
exclaimed. Thank you!

TV son Chad Duell (Michael) gave


good friend Benard a late birthday
hug even if neither of them
seemed too sincere!

Every year, Benards friends


try to surprise him on his
birthday, usually with little
luck. But this year, when the
hair and makeup depart-
ment makeup artist
Angela Shackleton, makeup
artist Luiza Adzhiyan,
hairstylist Anzhela Adzhiyan
and makeup artist Bobbie
Roberts walked him in,
he was surprised!

BIRTHDAY

What? My
birthday was weeks
ago, Benard
protested upon
walking in to the
party. Actually, it had
been one week before,
but due to his
shooting schedule, he
wasnt around much
the prior week!

Jacklyn Zeman
(Bobbie) and Eden
McCoy (Josslyn)
joined in singing a
sloppy version of
Happy Birthday.

Maura West (Ava)
and Kin Shriner (Scotty)
both made a beeline for
the party room when
they heard Benard was
being celebrated.

Donnell Turner (Curtis) made sure to pass


along his best wishes to Benard.

The hair and makeup department


always helps make sure Benard feels
the love and that includes
hairstylist Linda Rondinella!

James Patrick
Stuart (Valentin) took
a break from causing
mischief in Port

Benard a Happy
Birthday.

Coordinating
producer Jennifer
Whittaker-Brogdon,
associate producer
Nneka Garland and
producer Michelle
Henry were all on
hand for Benards
big surprise.

The theme was perfect for Matt Cohen (Griffin), too, as he
loves talking boxing with Benard.

Zeman had finished her scenes but gladly stuck around for the
party for her TV son-in-law not to mention the cake!

Whats a party without the


youth of Port Charles? Hudson
West (Jake) and McCoy were
more than welcome!

When Rebecca Budig (Hayden) heard that


Benard was being fted, she made sure it was
an event she didnt miss!

Upon discovering that


his and Wests birthdays
were just a few days apart,
Benard made sure that the
younger actor got to share
in the fun.

Sonny and Jax might despise one


another, but Benard and Ingo
Rademacher do just fine, thanks.

Cassie 20 years ago!

When Grimes went to audition for the role


of Cassie, she wore a flipper fake teeth.
But when she read the scene without it, the
part was hers. They said they knew in that
moment that I was the one for the role! I
did the scene and had this lisp, she recalls.
The next day, they called my grandma
and told her that I had the part!

I remember the cover shoots because


they had fruits and muffins, Grimes
recounts with a smile. And they had music, so I could
dance and be silly. Whats really nice is when youre that young, theres no vanity.
I wasnt concerned about the way I looked or what I was wearing. I just had a good time. I look on
those days fondly, because now I stop eating three days before a shoot!

Vanessa Hudgens dresses really cute. Shes

She can wear anything and look like a million
bucks. I appreciate their style. But I just end
up buying lots of pieces I like and for me, the
fun part is to wear all my clothes in different
and new ways. I try to not just wear the same
things over and over again. Its hard some-

it works, sometimes it doesnt work so great.

The Vows

XJJOHNSON/JPISTUDIOS.COM
Kayla: When I was coming back
from Prague, I thought, What an
amazing thing. Im gonna get married
again, and I actually know what it re-
ally means. The first time, I thought I
knew everything. I thought generally,
I knew what was coming. This time, I
know that I dont know anything and that life is unpredictable. So Im going to focus on what I do
know, and thats that I love you, and Ive always loved you. I never stopped loving you. Thank you.
Thank you for not giving up on us. We have been through a lot to get here, and as we stand here
with our beautiful children as a family, I know we can get through anything together. So I vow to
love you completely and unconditionally for all the remaining days of my life.
Steve: First of all, what she said. I really dont mean that as a joke, because what you said, thats
how I feel, too. When we first met the very first time I saw you you were all sweetness and light,
and I really had to scramble so that I wouldnt show you how I was feeling. And I was all swagger and
bravado, but that was just armor. But you saw me, anyway, and bit by bit, you chipped away at that
armor. And you started to show me the best parts of myself the parts I never even knew were
there. You know, thats what you do, Kayla. You dont judge people; you heal them, and not just
physically their hearts, their broken spirits, just the way you healed mine. Thank you. You have
made all of my dreams for this life come true. Youve given me these beautiful children: Stephanie
and Joe. And the thing is, the most wonderful gift I could ever have is you. Just you: my life partner,
my Sweetness, my love. So I vow to love you completely, unconditionally, with my whole heart, the
rest of our lives. Because the truth is, Kayla, I just cant live without you.
