During the week of December 15th, ABC’s daytime drama General Hospital participated in Disney/ ABC’s “Share the Joy” campaign with “Toys for Tots” by integrating the charity into their storyline for the holidays.

The moment which aired on today’s Thursday, December 18th episode showed Nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) donating a toy in the “Toys for Tots” box. GH also decided to take the initiative a step further by having the cast and crew donate toys to the “Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.”

GH Executive Producer Frank Valentini and the cast presented the toys to the marines yesterday (December 17) at the GH studio in Los Angeles during the series holiday party. The charity’s purpose really resonated with the cast, especially the child actors. In fact, nine year old Nicolas Bechtel (Spencer Cassadine) decided that he would take the $112.00 dollars he had saved in his piggy bank to help buy presents that were donated to “Toys for Tots.”

Pictured here are Frank Valentini flanked by the younger set of Port Charles: Hannah Nordberg (Josslyn), Brooklyn Silzer (Emma), Nicolas Bechtel (Spencer) & Michael Leone (Cameron)!

What do you think of the picture and Nicolas donating some dollars fro his piggy bank to help buy some presents for the charity? Did you catch Liz Webber donating a toy on today’s GH? Comment below!

Those kids are so cute. Nicolas (Spencer) is so cute to have donated his piggy bank earnings to the Toys for Tots! What a kind and generous little man!

Nicholas (Spencer) is a quality young man with a good head on his shoulder already as well as a heart that’s giving. He will always do well, for his gesture shows how his compassion is so evident.
Blessings and New Year’s wishes to this young, talented and compasionate action.

Yes. I did catch the Disney plug wherein Elizabeth donated a Monsters Inc (or University) toy.

One thing that GH is doing right currently is using their younger actors.

It really tickles my heart to see such a young man such as Nicolas Bechtel take the initiative to help those in need. I am trying to teach that to my own sons this year through the opportunities at school and church to donate to children, veterans, homeless, etc.

Paging Dr. Griffin Munro! Matt Cohen Makes A Return Visit To GH

December 6, 2019

Looks like a medical crisis will bring Matt Cohen (Griffin Munro) back to General Hospital today on Friday’s episode and next week on upcoming episodes of the ABC daytime drama series.

In addition, we wonder if Cohen might appear in scenes with Maura West, who’s Ava Jerome is checked into Shadybrook trying to deal with her emotional state, which unbeknownst to her is being caused by Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma).

As GH fans know, Cohen first came on to the GH scene back in 2016, but departed the series earlier in 2019.

Meanwhile, Matt has landed a gig on Entertainment Tonight as one of their correspondents and anchors while continuing to do directing, and acting projects.

What will bring Griffin back to Port Charles? Happy to see Matt again on GH? Comment below.
