General Hospital Actress Dies


Shell Kepler, who played General Hospital's resident gossip and nurse, died Friday at the age of 49. See the full story here.

I used to LOVE Nurse Amy Vining, Shell's character on the show. I started watching General Hospital (or as we simply called it - "General") in the 7th grade - and continued through college. In fact, the TV lounge in my (male) college dorm was reserved for General Hospital viewing ONLY from 3:00 to 4:00 each weekday. And let me tell you - that room was usually PACKED. We were NOT about to miss the exploits of Luke and Laura, Monica and Alan (and the rest of the Quartermains), Blackie, Dr. Noah Drake, and my absolute favorite - crazy ass Heather Webber.

It's a shame that Nurse Amy Vining will no longer be spreading gossip from the nurse's station at General Hospital. Rest in peace girl!
