The actor shared, “Today I salute Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Pratt , he was mobbed at a nightclub when I went to Dillons in Westwood with him, my second week on @GeneralHospital.”
Shriner joined the cast of General Hospital in 1977 as Scotty Baldwin. The character joined the series in 1965, and Shriner’s portrayal made the character more adult.
During his time on the show, Scotty’s popularity skyrocketed, especially with his relationship with Laura Webber (Genie Francis) and his adversarial relationship with Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary).
Over the years, Scotty has come and gone from the series multiple times. His first exit occurred in 1980, with his next significant run occurring between 1987 and 1993. Scotty crossed over to the General Hospital spinoff Port Charles in 1997 and remained with the series until 2001, when he returned to the main series.
Shriner last appeared on General Hospital in August 2024; since then, fans have called for his triumphant return. Now, many speculate that the return could be closer than ever, as Scotty’s daughter, Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger), will be returning to Port Charles, opening the door for Scotty to once again return to the show.
Fans took to the comment section of Shriner’s post to share their thoughts on the throwback photo.
One user reflected on Pratt’s role on the show, sharing, “I really felt Anne got the short end of the stick with Jeff. She took a lot from him and got nothing in return. I can’t remember if she found love after leaving Port Charles. But I hope so because she was done dirty.”
A second user added, “Two solid actors. He obviously went on to super fame in primetime. I watched General Hospital, All My Children, and Guiding Light. Memorable characterizations every time.”
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams weekdays on Hulu.
