Even amidst the tearful fallout from Sam McCall’s death, General Hospital found a moment for a lighthearted, nostalgia-infused wink to its viewers. The Halloween episode delivered a charming scene with Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) readying their daughter, Georgie (Lily Fisher), for trick-or-treating festivities. After a brief parental pep talk, Georgie dashed off to get ready, setting the stage for a delightful surprise.
Reappearing in full costume, Georgie unveiled her choice: Zenon, the iconic space-age heroine from Disney Channel’s Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. The costume was more than just a Halloween getup; it was a clever nod to Storms’ own pre-General Hospital career. Before settling into Port Charles, Storms starred as Zenon in the late ’90s/early 2000s, becoming a Disney Channel fixture for a generation.
General Hospital, with a deft touch, incorporated this piece of Disney Channel history into the storyline. The writers provided more amusement by having Maxie playfully feign ignorance about Zenon.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
