General Hospital’s Brick has always had this unwavering cool about him — the kind of guy Sonny (Maurice Benard) calls when he needs the room swept, the enemies bugged, and the bad guys erased. So when Stephen A. Smith, Brick's portrayer, hopped on social media with something to say, fans perked up. A moment that turned into a memory View this post on Instagram Instagram PostGH's Smith posted a video clip to Instagram, captioned, “More 'Brick' on @generalhospitalabc coming soon!” In the clip, a caller asks him for a simple favor — to wish his mother a happy birthday because she loves General Hospital. That’s all. But Smith didn’t just toss out a quick line. He settled in. He apologized when she couldn’t hear him. He signed every beat with warmth. And he dropped the tease that fans were hoping to hear: “I gotta come back out west next week to tape a few days of scenes for General Hospital.”The exchange unfolded with the easy rhythm of two people stumbling into something unexpectedly sweet. The woman kept laughing, almost overwhelmed, telling him she’d been hollering and missed the first birthday wish entirely. He reset, softened his voice, and gave it to her again. She told him he made her day. He told her she made his. And the call turned into something bigger than a birthday greeting — it was a little reminder of why Brick hits differently on GH. He comes in hot, but the man behind him carries heart.It wasn’t staged. It wasn’t polished. It was one of those blink-and-you-smile moments that land exactly because they’re imperfect, because someone didn’t expect kindness and they got it anyway.

Too sweet! What a nice gesture, Stephen A! Her voice makes me miss my Mom so much.” Another fan, @debbietheofanous, jumped right to Port Charles business: “Love Brick, he is the Best! He and Sonny need to take Sidwell [Carlo Rota] down !” And a thrilled viewer, @tarasouthernbelle, added, “Every time I see you on ESPN I yell THERE’S BRICK!!! My husband laughs at me.”Some were all-in on the charm, like @white_rabbitsp saying, “You are amazing, as Brick, you are smooth, intelligent, so debonair. Love seeing you on [General Hospital].” Others pushed for more screen time — @sandersclaudia insisted, “I love Brick on GH! You need to be on more!” — and plenty just soaked up the sweetness of the call, like @prossi57 admitting, “That was so sweet!”A few detractors wandered in — that’s the internet — but even they got swallowed by the tidal wave of Brick love rolling through the thread. For now, the man himself is headed back to set. And judging by how loud this single birthday call echoed, Port Charles will be very ready when he walks through Sonny’s door again.General Hospital can be seen weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
