In an interview promoting her upcoming film “Bushwick,” “Guiding Light” alum Brittany Snow (ex-Daisy Lemay) has admitted to battling anorexia, depression and self-mutilation during her time as a child star on the CBS daytime drama series and her star making turn in NBC’s “American Dreams.”

Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane, “All My Children;” Genevieve Delatour, “Devious Maids”) opened up about her grandson’s battle with cerebral palsy on a recent episode of “The Dr. Oz Show.” Together, Lucci and her daughter, Liza Huber (ex-Gwen Winthrop, “Passions”), shared the emotions they went through upon learning Liza’s son Brendan, now 7, had the non-progressive neurological disorder.

Since being brought back to ABC’s “General Hospital” in a recurring capacity in 2013, actress Lynn Herring has proven time and time again how viable her role as Lucy Coe is to the legacy of the daytime drama series, particularly in regards to the annual Nurses Ball event. Sadly, the soap hasn’t provided the actress with enough story potential for her character, whose married so many men in Port Charles that she rivals only Pine Valley’s Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) from “All My Children.” Herring recently took to Facebook to share her desire to do more than an average day player appearance on the soap.

A pair of former “General Hospital” stars are collaborating on a new business venture.

In a recent blog post on her website recapping 2015 as she personally experienced it, “General Hospital’s” Kimberly McCullough (Robin Scorpio) revealed that after learning she would become a first time mother to a baby girl the unthinkable happened: she suffered a miscarriage.
