GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Kin Shriner (Scott, GH) holds his memories of his relationship with the late
Susan Brown, who played his Port Charles stepmother, Gail, dear to his heart. “Susan was the first one who welcomed me on to
GENERAL HOSPITAL,” he recalls. “Gail wanted to bring Scotty back to Port Charles because she thought it was important that
Lee have his son back, and Scotty had run off to Greenwich Village where he was living like a ne’er-do-well, so I had had an immediate relationship with Susan in the professional world of soap operas. We became very fast friends. In those days, the dressing rooms where a hangout, and Susan’s was certainly the number one spot. It was very nicely appointed. She had very nice taste — and I went on to hire her to help design and furnish my house! I’m not sure if she ever understood why I wanted a fire pole in my house — Scotty had one when he lived in the firehouse — but I’m not sure she got that. She said she didn’t think it was a good idea to have a fire pole to get down from the game room to downstairs because somebody would end up getting hurt [laughs]. Everybody loved Susan. We went to breakfast just about every Sunday and we had a very high social life with her. She was a major part of everybody’s life at GENERAL HOSPITAL. Everybody had a relationship with Susan. She really knew how to make you feel special.”
