They all star on the ABC daytime drama \u201cGeneral Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n A DJ played some of the biggest hits of the \u201980s such as Joan Jett\u2019s \u201cI Love Rock \u2018N Roll,\u201d Whitney Houston\u2019s \u201cI Wanna Dance with Somebody,\u201d Cyndi Lauper\u2019s \u201cGirls Just Want to Have Fun,\u201d and Irene Cara\u2019s enthralling \u201cFlashdance\u2026What A Feeling.\u201d <\/p>\n It was neat to watch Tabyana Ali in her \u201980s outfit dancing along with the fans, and singing along to some of these classics. <\/p>\n The same holds true for Finola Hughes while she danced to the Bee Gees\u2019 \u201cStayin\u2019 Alive,\u201d which was included in the movie \u201cSaturday Night Fever.\u201d (Hughes also appeared in the sequel called \u201cStaying Alive,\u201d where she played Laura)<\/p>\n \u201cThis is super fun and a great time,\u201d Laura Wright admitted. \u201cThis East Coast tour has been a sweet treat. Thank you so, so much,\u201d Wright added, prior to encouraging the fans to ask questions during the Q & A portion of the show.<\/p>\n If they were to title their own autobiographies, Hughes said that hers would be called \u201cGiddy.\u201d \u201cIt would be a long story; you would have to read it,\u201d Hughes said with a sweet laugh.<\/p>\n Tabyana Ali would title hers \u201cForm & Flower.\u201d \u201cWhat my character, Nina, and I had in common is that resilience is our superpower, so that would be it,\u201d Watros said.<\/p>\n Wright said that her autobiography title would be \u201cLife tried to break me\u2026 but I\u2019m awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n Watros and Hughes spoke about being nominated for the 2024 Daytime Emmy Award for \u201cOutstanding Lead Actress\u201d for their acting work in \u201cGeneral Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn my Emmy reel, I submitted some amazing scenes with the wonderful Laura Wright,\u201d Watros revealed, and the crowd went nuts. \u201cI submitted the ones when her character, Carly, was telling me that Willow was my daughter, and we were in the chapel, and she was telling me that Willow was going to die. I put those scenes in because Laura was amazing in them, and I thought that those scenes could only help.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe other scene I put in was with Cyrus pretending to be a priest,\u201d Watros said. \u201cI also tried to find some comedic stuff to sprinkle in there, but Nina did not have a happy year so there wasn\u2019t a lot of fun stuff to include.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am always one of the last ones to do my reel, and it is usually done in the eleventh hour,\u201d Hughes said. \u201cLuckily, the producers keep notes of things so I put in the moment when I realized that I had shot Charlotte, and then, talking to Sonny (Maurice Benard) about that.\u201d<\/p>\n Ironically enough, last week, when three-time Emmy winner Maurice Benard was at Governor\u2019s Comedy Club on Long Island, he proclaimed the veteran actresses on the show as his \u201cbaby mamas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nDancing to \u201980s hits and music with the fans<\/h2>\n
