Farrah Fawcett: We Will Miss You! XOXO!
GENERAL HOSPITAL FAN WEEKEND
Hi everyone!
Well, fan club weekend is almost here. Can you believe it? Seems we were just celebrating the new year and
now, here we are, just a couple of weeks away! It's going to be an awesome weekend, for those of you who are still able
to make it. Because of this horrible economy, so many people are not able to come. Whether you are a veteran of
this event weekend, or if this is your first time to come, it is an incomparable experience.
And again, because of the economy, the size of our events have dropped, so this is the very best time for you, since
you are already there, to add another event or two to your weekend agenda as you are never going to get the opportunity to
visit with your favorites from General Hospital in these smaller venues! Take a look at our
list of events and pick yet another to attend. Come and get to know an actor that you might not have thought would be
"your cup of tea" at an event that will allow you to spend time getting to know that individual. It's a lot of fun!
And it can be really surprising! I've done it myself on many occasions and walked away thinking "who would ever have
thought??" Ha!
We've had a time change for Brandon's event, and we've added an event with Drew and Lexi, the next generation for General
Hospital, in light of Julie
Berman having to cancel her event. All the details are below, and we hope that you will be able to join us!
Oh, and for those of you who are going from Derk and Carolyn's event on to Jason and Kimberly's event, please don't worry
about getting out early from one to check into another. We will be pre-checking in people for that event at Derk and
Carolyn's breakfast, so you'll be fine! And the same is true if you are coming to Rick's event from Jason and Kimberly's.
We will be pre-checking in people at J/K's event for Rick's so don't worry about getting out early or missing anything.
It's all taken care of!
Thank you again for signing up for one or more of our events! We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Best,
Debby O

RICK HEARST LEAVES GH; RETURNS TO BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL AS WHIP JONES
Enjoy your weekend...things move so fast...July will be bitter sweet!!!!!!!!!!
From RICK HEARST FAN CLUB
Sent:
Friday, May 22, 2009 5:02:01 PM
Subject: Rick Hearst Update!
Hi everyone, and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Just a quick note to let you know that yesterday was Rick's final day at General Hospital, and today was his first day
at The Bold and The Beautiful. Everything happened more quickly than I anticipated, but he's off and running, and has
taped his first day at CBS. Happily there was mail waiting for him when he got there ... thank you so much for that!
Again, if you'd like to leave a note on his guest book, please do so at www.RickHearst.com. You may also begin writing to him in care of The Bold and The Beautiful at 7800 Beverly Blvd., Suite 3371 Los Angeles,
CA 90036. He loves hearing from you.
For those of you who have been concerned, yes, he will still be doing his fan club event in July at the Airtel Plaza
hotel. We hope that you will come and enjoy this last fan club weekend Italian brunch with Rick and his family as this
one promises to be the most special one ever, and that's saying something.
Have a great weekend, and get ready! He's going to go from one personae to another in a heartbeat very, very soon!
Best,
Debby O

EMMY AWARD-WINNING “GENERAL HOSPITAL” GOES
HIGH-DEFINITION IN TIME FOR MAY
SWEEPS
Switch Coincides with Debut of New Hospital Set While Celebrating 46 Years on ABC
Continuing ABC’s
lead in providing quality programming with high production values, “General Hospital” will be broadcast in HDTV beginning THURSDAY, APRIL 23, the first day of the May 2009 sweep. Also, the series’ new nurses’ hub set will debut
a week earlier to coincide with storyline, as the newly refurbished hospital reopens following a massive explosion that rocked
the medical facility. The announcement was made by Brian Frons, president, Daytime, Disney-ABC Television
Group.
“Our loyal viewers will be very pleased with the technology that provides top notch video and audio
quality, and shows our commitment to the production of this long-running series, as well as the daytime drama genre. The people
and places in Port Charles will never look better,” says Frons.
In
addition, other upgrades to production include a faster and more efficient way of recording daily episodes onto computer servers
that allow the show producers to use materials faster for post production and distribution purposes, as well as new set lighting
that takes advantage of HD technology. Furthermore, the hospital set – including a second story – brings a fresh
and contemporary new look to the long-running series, allowing for more interaction among the show’s cast.
“General
Hospital” becomes the second show in the network’s daytime lineup to be produced in high-definition, after the
award-winning “The View” made the transition in 2006. ABC currently broadcasts the majority of its primetime schedule
in HDTV, as well as the weekday and weekend editions of the top-rated and
popular news program “Good
Morning America” and late-night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
All of ABC’s
HDTV programs use 720 Progressive (720P), the network’s selected format.
“General Hospital”
celebrates 46 years of broadcasting on April 1, 2009, and is the longest-running dramatic serial on the ABC Television Network, having aired over
11,500 episodes. A winner of a record ten Emmys for Best Daytime Drama, “General Hospital” consistently rates
as one of the top daytime programs with Women 18-49 and Women 18-34.
“General Hospital” was created by
Frank and Doris Hursley.
Jill Farren Phelps
is the executive producer. Mary

Daytime
The message boards have been buzzing and my email has been inundated since late last week's article about both Rick
and Greg possibly being put on recurring status or released from General Hospital. All I can say to you is
that if you are unhappy with anything going on, story line or otherwise, you should make your voices heard. And there
is no time like the present.
I encourage you to call the comment line and/or write to the executives in charge of the show, as well as to the
magazines. Please keep your comments positive and to the point, supporting whom you choose but absolutely not
writing negative, demeaning comments about anyone you don't. That serves no purpose, and is not what either Rick or
Greg would want.
The comment line number for General Hospital is 323-671-4583.
