General Hospital Spoilers – The Ball Will Be Very Different This Year
When Frank was asked what challenges the Ball presented in this abbreviate year of production he said this: “The biggest challenge was how do you keep the numbers down in terms of the number of actors in the building, the number of personnel – I don’t mean the number of musical acts. That will be evident in the first episode.”
He added that “Some of the challenges and protocols we had to adhere to actually turned into an opportunity to reinvent the ball, which has been exciting. I’ve always tried to take the innate challenges in producing 250 episodes a year where we say, ‘Well, we can’t do this, but we can do this.’
Will the musical numbers be different owing to coronavirus constraints? “According to Frank, “It’s pretty much the same, but there is no huge group dance number. We didn’t want to do that. The Nurses Ball will have some familiar fan favorites that the audience loves and can never get enough of,” he teased.

Will Josh Swickard as Harrison Chase steal the show for a third in a row with his sexy renditions? In response, Fran said his words carefully not wanting to let the cat out of the bag! “You’ll have to wait and see,” he said. “I can’t tease that, but I can say that there are a couple of new faces to the ball.
“As always, we try to mix it up. As people are in different places in their lives, it may not make as much sense for them to be singing and dancing. But other people have picked up the mantel.”
Bad guy Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) could not possibly be left out now that he is funding the hospital and Frank adds, “He’s charismatic and malevolent.”
