Antonio Sabato Jr. During Post-RNC Speech Interview Sounds Off On President Obama
Photo: Twitter/RNC
On Monday, during the first night of the Republic National Convention in Cleveland, soap and reality star Antonio Sabator Jr. (Ex-Jagger, GH and Ex-Dante, B&B) took the stage and delivered a short under four minute speech in support of the presumptive republican nominee, Donald Trump.
Antonio spoke of becoming a legal citizen in the U.S. from Italy, and why Trump stands for unity of the U.S, while Hilary Clinton and President Obama do not. However, it was Sabato’s post-speech interview with ABC News, where he let loose on his feelings on the race for the presidency, and his thoughts on President Obama. Antonio said he does not believe Obama is a Christian, and he says “the guy had an agenda” when he took office to take the country to the left.
He told ABC News that he “absolutely” believes President Barack Obama is a Muslim in his heart, and he (Antonio) has the heart to believe that. The former soap fan favorite said eight years ago he was a democrat, but he did not vote for Obama the first, or second time. He went on to say about Obama: “I believe that he’s on the other side … the Middle East. He’s with the bad guys. He’s with them, not with us. He does not support the constituion”
Antonio also related he was not concerned about vocally supporting Trump in liberal-leaning Hollywood and didn’t care if that caused people to judge him. Sabato added he supports Trump from building the wall from Mexico, and building up the U.S. military.
Watch Antonio’s post speech talk, and his speech when he took the stage at the RNC after the jump. Then let us know what you thought of his speech and his comments. Former Y&R and B&B star, Kimberlin Brown takes the stage at the RNC tonight.
It’s always sad when someone who was once so pretty turns into such an ugly person.
Sorry, i will not mix soaps with politics…i met Hillary years ago…i never met Trump-dont care who wins anymore-politics have been a joke for years now!!!
Did you get her e-mail address!
Yeah, and we erased everything-lol-kidding!!
There goes what little respect I had for him the rest went with that farcical marriage to Lee Ann Rhimes..over these loud mouth don’t think before you speak entertainment dunderheads
Eddie Cibrian is married to Leann Rimes.
Well boop boop dee doop
I feel exactly the same. Don’t even want to look at him.
I remember when I was a kid and thought he was so gorgeous and hot, oh well, as far as him being republican, and supporting by trump, well I don’t share his view but he’s entitled to his. As for trump, this guy is a bigot and racist, if this is what America wants then we are really in bigger trouble then we thought.
Trump is a bully! BUT, our country needs someone to take control of the issues now troubling America. I dont see Hillary doing that. Maybe if Trump were an independent people would digest his words a little easier? I want a bully now to stop ISIS, calm OUR nation with racial injustice and police prejudice!
And if gay people, the handicapped, law abiding Muslim Americans, etc suffer, well so be it? Many would agree with your points here, Timmm, but we can’t stomach the other stuff Trump brings to the table. And we’re not willing to see our friends, relatives or even ourselves be treated as second-class citizens.
At the risk of another pissing contest here I will say only this, I learned a lot about Antonio and I thought he did a great job!
Here, here, Timmm! As far as his actual televised speech, Antonio expressed no sentiments that I haven’t heard from numerous legal immigrants (both young and old….) who are supporting DJT. They came here in obeyance to the laws of our land, paid their dues accordingly and now expect everyone else to do likewise…..why the controversy? As one elderly (and feisty!) grandma of a friend of mine noted, when she arrived in America, there was no “Press 2 for”…..Italian, French, German, Chinese, Yiddish, whatever….you sank or swam, and part of the bargain was either already knowing or learning the English language, not to mention observing our native traditions and mores. Ditto for passing a physical/mental exam to prove you posed no threats to public health or safety, and one certainly didn’t expect handouts, that’s for sure. You worked for what you had….and helped to build up this country in process. Even more recently naturalized citizens have outlined for me the myriad legal, financial and educational requirements they spent many long years attaining before proudly being granted the privilege of “pledging allegiance” to the United States of America. That is all a part of the process of becoming “an American,” and it has worked in its various incarnations since the origins of this great nation…..whether ones’ forefathers arrived via the Mayflower, Ellis Island or anywhere in between, the common thread was that citizenship was acquired the old-fashioned way…..it was earned in some manner or other….not simply handed over on a silver platter! As for those who insist upon attaching a racial component to the call for adherence of our already existing immigration laws???? It’s not the fault of those current statutes or its proponents that the vast majority of those who have been illegally invading our borders just happen to fit into certain demographical designations….it’s merely a fact whether some can accept it or not….and an apparently inconvenient truth for various special interest groups, to be sure, but it is what it is.
Are you running for office, Shay? Lol, that was quite a mouth full. Based on some of the comments you’ve made, I think we’re on total opposite sides of the political spectrum. But you brought up some valid points and said it very well. So while I may not agree with everything you said, I certainly respect and appreciate where you’re coming from.
If only the politicians in this country on BOTH sides of the aisle could engage in a civil, respectful dialogue like this, the country would be much better off.
Your right Timmm he did do a good job as did Rudy J. & especially Patricia Smith. If you missed her Tim you can get her on google.
I wanted to vote for RUDY! He was so motivational! I will google Patricia. Thanks Nikki.
We should be grateful to live in a country where citizens are allowed to voice their opinions without too much reprisal. Based on the content of his anti-president hate screed, Mr. Sabato should be ESPECIALLY grateful for being free to voice opinions that even Obama opponent John McCain graciously vigorously denied. Sounds like there’s more going on in his opinion than I care to analyze further. Maybe he was letting Hollywood know he’s still out there and available for hire? Still available, that is.
And what he says is important, why?
LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking angered supporters of Donald J. Trump on Monday by responding to a question about the billionaire with a baffling array of long words.
Speaking to a television interviewer in London, Hawking called Trump “a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator,”
a statement that many Trump supporters believed was intentionally designed to confuse them.
“For a so-called genius, this was an epic fail,” Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, said. “If Professor Hawking wants to do some damage, maybe he should try talking in English next time.”
Later in the day, Hawking attempted to clarify his remark about the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, telling a reporter, “Trump bad man. Real bad man.”
((writes the Borowitz Report
That speaks of Antonio Sabato Jr. …. LOL
Su0000…Message to Corey…Hawking’s was speaking English. Geez! And we won’t even go into Melania’s speech. Wonder if she really knew how liberally (no pun intended) parts were borrowed from the wife of someone her husband criticizes all the time?
Perfect! Lol…
Hah! Love it!
Who cares what Antonio Sabato thinks. He’s a nobody .
I agree he is a nobody washed up ex soap star. Antonio please go away, you are very annoying.
Just. Wow…
I watched all of the RNC last night and Antonio Sabato Jr. did a great job.
I look forward to seeing Kimberlin Brown on there tonight!
Me too. I’m sure she’ll do a good job.I would like to see her back but on B & B fighting with Qwin. O.M.Goodness what a blast that would be.
Props to him for having the balls to speak his mind instead of remaining silent in fear of critical left wingers
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!
Soooooooooo true Joel.
He is an idiot.
This is a remarkably handsome man that has no clue whatsoever. He’s far better seen than heard.
Hahaha! Too funny. I’d agree but his opinions were so offensive I can’t even see his looks.
He’s entitled to his opinion, of course. But his comments on President Obama sound delusional. His agent must be in despair.
I’m not even going to get into this again. It starts out with I’m hoping so & so gets it & gradually it turns into nasty tweets back & forth with why we like our candidates and why we don’t like the other. Then it goes into she said & he said followed by he did & she did. So on that note I hope everyone remembers to go vote in November. Good luck!
Really???? I had no idea that he was so, so…… Well I just can’t say how I really feel for fear of getting blocked. He is entitled to believe anything he wants, after all this is America, BUT REALLY???????
Antonio has the right to say whatever he wants. And I have the right never to watch any program he is in ever again, including any future guest appearances on GH or DWTS.
Disgraceful
Stuffy moron. N-e-x-t……….
ABC News Interview; Antonio Sabato Jr.’
“First of all, I don’t believe that the guy is a Christian,” Sabàto told ABC News. “I don’t believe he follows the God that I love and the Jesus that I love.”
Following model and General Hospital star Antonio Sabato Jr.’s speech in support of Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, the actor told ABC News that he “absolutely” believes President Barack Obama is a Muslim.
“Absolutely. That’s what I believe,” said Sabato. “And you know what, I have the right to believe that and you have the right to go against that, but I believe it. He grew up in that world.”
The actor, who has also appeared on Dancing With the Stars, continued to question Obama being Christian.
“First of all, I don’t believe that the guy is a Christian,” said Sabàto. “I don’t believe he follows the God that I love and the Jesus that I love.”
He added, “If you follow his story, if you read his book, if you understand about Obama, I mean, that’s not a Christian name, is it?”
When asked his thoughts on Obama seen attending church on multiple occasions, Sabato disagreed. “Actually he does not attend church. He actually has never talked about Jesus Christ once,” he said.
Sabato, who said that he was a Democrat eight years ago, claimed he didn’t vote for Obama during either of his presidential runs but acknowledged that he “actually liked the guy.”
“Seven years ago, I actually liked the guy. I was backing him up,” said Sabato. “Once he was elected the first time, I was backing him up because I love our president. I love this country, so even if I don’t agree with somebody I’m still going to back them up. This guy just made it really hard for me to support him.”
Sabato continued, saying that Obama’s agenda has “divided” the country and that under his presidency he’s “seen this country take a bad turn.” He also expressed that he has had conversations with police and the military who do not like the president either.
“He’s not supporting this country. I don’t believe he is…I believe that he’s on the other side…the Middle East. He’s with the bad guys.” He’s with them. He’s not with us. He’s not with this country.”
Su0000, do you believe Antonio should stay away from those steroids. Certainly known to cause rage–and, my, isn’t he ragin’? Still think he should go to Vegas and stay there–remember: “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”! 🙂 🙂
How sad.
Oh Antonio, pretty things most often do not speak for a reason. You would be wise to heed that sage wisdom. Your stretch at being intellectual exploded in your face and it ruined that once so pretty image. I almost feel sorry for you but I have to remind myself that as an American citizen you have a right to your views. It just saddens me to find out that your only benefit is what you show in Calvin Klein ads. Shhh, don’t speak.
Lol!
Lawd forgive me but I dreamt that Donald Trump dropped out of the Presidential race and that Arnold Swartzenager took his place.
Remarkably, that would be preferable to The Donald. Named after a duck or a McDonald perhaps?
Haha. Real sad that Donald Trump was the last remaining choice to represent the Republican Party. For someone like myself that hovers somewhere in the middle & tries to choose the best option for this country, it is a no brainer now. Lesser of the two evils?
He’s free to say whatever he wants, as laughable as it might be. But the Muslim stuff…I mean seriously? That nonsense was debunked 8 years ago. But I guess it makes sense, the Republican Party is the party that wants to take us back to the 1950s. So it makes sense Antonio would be stuck in the past.
Oh Dan, “the 1950s.” I was a child during the 1950s and it was NOT all white picket fences, Donna Reed, Wally and the Beaver and Father Knows Best for most people. I have no desire to turn back time.
I have no desire to turn back time, either. So I agree with you there!
Antonio Fonzarelli! HEY!
@Dan….Thank you for your earlier kind response…..I wanted a “direct link” to you, so I popped down the thread. However, before I reply to those aforementioned remarks, please let me first respectfully preface them with this additional thought : I was born a ways after the 1950’s, so I have no reason to want to return to a place I’ve never been…..however, I did enjoy the benefits of growing up in a more recent point in this country’s history when peace, prosperity and patriotism still ruled the day, and thus, have no qualms in wishing to replicate those secure conditions in our current/future society. Personally, I don’t see that so much as a political statement, as a sincere hope upon which all Americans would agree. Having gotten that sentiment out of the way, Dan, I must repeat that I really appreciated your thoughtful consideration of my explanation for the opposing view to the controversial topic at hand. When I initially read the various threads and their questions posed by Mr. Fairman regarding the GOP convention, I knew to gird myself for the standard, negative rhetoric we often see here….and my expectations were sadly more than surpassed…..very few surprises! Quite frankly, I usually just overlook these less than diverse “collections” and move on, as I tend to comment very little about political matters, particularly since many of the posters I most adore here are reliably on the opposite side of “the aisle.” (As you, yourself, have very diplomatically noted….) Hence I routinely just grit my teeth and concentrate on the incredible charm, wit and creativity that I do admire in these said individuals and forget the rest….whilst remaining silent. Yet, when I came upon these specific subjects and found the same old blanket condemnations and too-cute comments aimed toward those with a contrary opinion, I said to myself, “Not This Time!” That’s because the puerile labels like the very hackneyed “haters,” not to mention, (fill-in-the-blank) phobes, or other oft-used pejoratives simply don’t comport with any of the fine, personable—-and yes, highly-educated and well-read—people of varied political stripes I know who are supporting Mr. Trump, let alone those numerous naturalized citizens who have exhibited much the same attitude on the subject of illegal immigration as both his wife, Melania, and, of course, Antonio. As I have previously observed, all of them truly cherish their citizenship and are so (rightfully) proud of the fact that they attained their status according to the laws set forth by our nation….they don’t find it one bit incongruous for them to support either DJT’s candidacy or his specifically proposed remedies for this admittedly controversial issue. It’s actually totally in line with their beliefs that everyone should be required to follow the same intensive procedures that they did for the immense privilege of becoming an American, and they are more than a tad miffed and insulted that they have been maligned for pointing out what they consider the vastly important distinction between their own legal entries into the USA and the mass illegal crossings we are now witnessing on our border. I would describe their displeasure as akin to a person who went through the hard work, expense and time it took to complete a doctorate program vs. someone who just steps onto campus grounds and is awarded the same degree simply for showing up, no further effort required. I realize this hypothetical is not exactly comparable, but perhaps it will give you—and others—an idea how those in this situation have expressed it to me. It’s not so much a slam on the individuals being encouraged to participate in this lawless behavior, as an indictment upon how the present system is providing them inequitable access in contrast to the personal experiences of previously law-compliant emigrants. As far as Mr. Trump being accused of harboring anti-immigrant feelings? That is also a tough proposition for me to accept, given that his own family has consisted of a much-beloved mother who originally hailed from Scotland and the spouses/mothers of four of his children who were born in formerly Communist Eastern bloc countries!!!! Again, I emphasize it is the illegal component and its accompanying dangers (of health and safety) that he—and many of his prospective voters—-have so vehemently railed against. I will further propose that for any of us to be likewise labeled as xenophobic is disingenuous because with rare exception, we trace our very American existences to forefathers who arrived here from elsewhere…..does that mean we despise our own antecedents? I should hardly think so!!!! At any rate, I realize this has been a lengthy post, as I am wont to write, so I do apologize for that, Dan….I really enjoyed your response and wanted to further expound upon my initial remarks. Lastly, I should like to add that as someone who has dared provide alternative opinions over these past few days, I’ve been most thankful for the thoughtful, accepting nature of posters like yourself (and James, too….) Agreeing to disagree needn’t be traumatic, rather it can be fun and interesting!….I truly consider such positive dialogue to be vital to the political process…it’s happened far too seldom in this highly-polarized election season, and since you asked, no, I’m not running for office…..LOL….although I am very immersed in politics almost 24/7—I actually need to catch up on my sleep after this week!— but I did avidly participate as a student council/government representative during my uni years….I ran three successful campaigns and still look back at that activity as being one of the highlights of my college career! By the way, that’s despite the fact the majority of my peers were also of often opposite views….we still got on famously…no fisticuffs to report! Oddly enough, my tenure on the school’s newspaper was not nearly as rewarding since those much-vaunted ideals of freedom of speech/the press were not uniformly applied to those who failed to espouse the publication’s prevailing left-of-center political philosophy. Oh, well….go figure!
I had a history teacher who used to use an expression you have diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain, which certainly applies in this case with Antonio and Scott Baio. I wonder if Joanie would still love Chachi after his appearance.
🙂
Disappointing. Maybe he has a brain tumor…
So he believes “in his heart” that President Obama is a Muslim???
Methinks he should stick to acting or being beefcake in Vegas. 🙂
Sadly, I think this guy drank the Kool-Aid. Doubt we’ll be seeing him on TV anytime soon…not that we’ve been seeing him much in years.
Sabato is an immigrant Italian Jewish man. Supporting building a wall, segregating people, AND beefing up military. Um….something isn’t right. LMAO. I wish America would wake up and realize there is NO right, there is NO left. They are all working towards the same goal and whoever gets in, it is predetermined. This sounds like an episode of The View where the cackling hens start talking politics and they have NO idea what they are even talking about. The inmates (all politicians) are running the asylum known as the United States, and people believe every word and every lie that is printed. Sad, really. I think soap actors (based on Kimberlin and Antonio, anyway) itshould probably stick to what they do best and just act out other people’s words rather than try to write and present their own.
Dylan ,I had no idea Sabato was by birth Jewish. Or part Jewish. After I read your comment I looked it up. Turns out his mom was Jewish (her mother was, not sure of her father). But he wasn’t raised Jewish at all. In his own words, he’s a Christian.
Sabato has his own home renovation show, “Fix It and Finish It” or something to that effect. Good with a hammer. Maybe he’ll volunteer to build the wall…
In all seriousness Sabato’s speech should not have been approved. He speaks of unity when he mentions his faith and Jesus Christ, as if believing in his faith is a prerequisite for a President? Follow this train of thought Anthony. This is the United States of America, home to Jewish people who don’t follow Jesus, home to atheists and agnostics and Buddhists who don’t follow Jesus. And you know what? They don’t need to live a Christian life to be good people. There is nothing about being Christian that makes one a better person, citizen or President. Oh, and contrary to some people’s beliefs this is NOT a Christian country. There is no need to bring your faith, or anyone’s faith, into a presidential race unless the person is an extremist who is a threat to life and way of life. So, what should Jewish, agnostic, Buddhist and atheist supporters do with your rally cry. Here’s an idea. If you ever speak at a political function again how about taking about….I don’t know…politics!
As for Trump and his family, it’s for the win at all costs. Ivanka approves of a speech that alienates her, her husband and children, all Jewish, none of which believes in Jesus? Trump doesn’t tone it down to appeal to ALL Americans, but goes for the group that can get him the win, complete with evangelical vp. It’s all so offensive and hypocritical…so obvious and yet Trump continues to pull the strings even as he and his entourage get caught up in their own web. Anthony…when the Trump sons stand proudly smiling over the beautiful animals they kill for fun…is that in the name of your shared faith too? Cause you seem to think you have the corner on decency…
The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.
This is a developing story. You can check out Antonio’s official statement below.
So, let us know your thoughts on this tragic hit-and-run, which claimed the life of another man, and Antonio’s statement, via the comment section below.

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava’s (Maura West) daughter Avery looks quite different, starting on today’s November 9 episode of General Hospital. That’s because GH has made Avery into a full-blown teenager and the role is now being played by actress Alya Bullington.
In her debut, the Tennessee native was thrown into the deep soap waters with Daytime Emmy winners, Maurice Benard and Eden McCoy (Josslyn). Bullington weighed-in to TV Insider about her first scene which featured Avery overhearing a fight between Sonny and Josslyn.
She explained “It was something I have never done before, I did not have a lot of experience with the screaming and the crying stuff, but I got my first script, and I was like, ‘OK, this is a huge opportunity to learn so much about how that stuff works and to become this character that I have never even tried playing before.’”

THE TEENAGED VERSION OF AVERY WILL HAVE A LOT TO CONTEND WITH
Speaking of working with McCoy, Bullington shared, “She’s incredible. I remember her just laughing and making jokes on set, and then the minute that they started taping, she just locked in and she cried immediately, and my first thought was, ‘I want to be able to do that.’
The soap opera newcomer added, “I think she just inspired me so much because she is so great and she can just lock into whatever character she wants to in the moment.”
The character of Avery was born back in 2014, but as recently as the October 8 episode of General Hospital, the character was suddenly referred to as a teenager. This is the second young female character in recent months to be aged up following the casting of Kayden Brenna Tokarski as Scout Cain.
As for her take on Avery and what’s ahead, Alya said,“She’s emotional, and she’s curious, and she’s a really fun person to play because so much stuff is happening in her life. I think she’s kind of confused about what’s happening and what to believe.”
So, what do you think about General Hospital making Avery a teenager? Are you excited to see the conflict between Sonny, Ava and Avery now that they have aged up the character? Share your thoughts and welcome Alya to GH via the comment section below.
