Posted Wednesday, August 21, 2019 1:02:07 PM

Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos), Katelyn MacMullen (Willow Tait), Sofia Mattsson (Sasha Gilmore), and Josh Swickard (Harrison Chase) tackle questions from General Hospital fans about their personal lives, on-set shenanigans, and more.

Ever wondered what it would feel like to hang out with General Hospital stars Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos), Katelyn MacMullen (Willow Tait), Sofia Mattsson (Sasha Gilmore), and Josh Swickard (Harrison Chase)? It might be impossible to do in real life, but the ABC soap opera gifted fans with the next best thing: the group of actors sat down for a Facebook Live video that gives insight into their personal lives, Port Charles happenings, and other fun things.

In the video, Duell opens up about having lived with his costar Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) for several weeks while he was in between houses and shares some very interesting tidbits about the veteran actor -- including his opinion on whether or not Benard is anything like the mob boss that he plays. He also dishes on Michael's love life with Sasha, which he hopes doesn't stay happy for long, as that gets stale to watch. "They'll probably throw a wrench or two in [that] they'll overcome... but hopefully she doesn't get a crane that falls on her head or something like that, which seems to happen to all [of Michael's girlfriends]" he jokes of the character's history of having a doomed love life.

Swickard is asked about whether or not Chase and Willow will get married, which prompts a very "guy-like" answer and laughs from all. He also talks about how much he misses working with Dominic Zamprogna (Dante Falconeri) and shares details about a crazy, impressive on-set prank that was pulled off by James Patrick Stuart (Valentin Cassadine).

Mattsson tackles the fact that Sasha has been lying about being Nina's (Cynthia Watros) daughter. "I feel really guilty and sad for her and for myself," she explains of the story. "I think [Sasha] was never expecting to be so emotionally invested in Nina, or for Nina to be so emotionally invested in her... It's hard and so far away from anything I would ever do myself, so I really had to work on the character and figure out why I would do this." However, she promises that there is "a backstory and stuff, obviously, that we don't know yet about" that will eventually give viewers some long-awaited answers.

The group also tackles what they do when they hang out together off-set, share details about childhood pet tragedies, reveal which GH episodes have been their favorites, dish on which charities they're passionate about, and talk about what other jobs they'd like to see their characters take on. (Spoiler alert: Duell would love to see Michael turn into a serial killer!)
