General Hospital fans love intense scenes, but Josh Swickard says one co-star makes that impossible. The actor revealed that he refuses to work with Dominic Zamprogna again because things get too silly. His reason will leave viewers giggling and wanting more behind-the-scenes details immediately.
General Hospital Star Josh Swickard Says He “Can’t Work With Dominic”
Josh Swickard recently shared a confession that instantly sent fans into laughter. During a chat on Maurice Benard’s podcast, he revealed that Dominic Zamprogna becomes his biggest challenge on set. Their scenes get funny fast, and nothing stays serious for long.
Swickard explained that Dominic laughs at him constantly. Their playful energy takes over the moment they step into character. The timing never helps, because the giggles usually strike during tense story beats. Their attempts to stay focused often collapse within seconds.
The Infamous “Tag Face” Causes Instant Meltdowns
The real culprit behind the chaos seems to be Swickard’s so-called “tag face.” This is the serious expression he holds as a scene ends before the commercial break. Dominic finds that face impossible to ignore. He cracks up every single time, even when the moment is dramatic.

Swickard joked that this reaction is so consistent that he may include it in his next contract. Dominic’s laughter has even spread to scenes with other co-stars. The face now triggers giggles across the set, which only makes Swickard laugh harder. The cycle never stops, and fans now know why intense Chase scenes sometimes feel a little lighter.
Their Scenes Drop to “Fourth Grade” Immediately
Swickard admitted that he and Dominic become children the moment they share a frame. Their maturity disappears, and the scene turns playful almost instantly. Swickard said they slip into “fourth grade mode,” which makes serious acting nearly impossible.

Even Maurice Benard shared a story about Dominic losing control during a scene with him. The laughter hit so hard that Dominic whispered, “Don’t look at me,” hoping to avoid another breakdown. It was clear that the playful dynamic follows him into every scene partner he encounters.
General Hospital thrives on drama, but Josh Swickard and Dominic Zamprogna bring their own brand of chaos. Their laughter-filled scenes create a bond that fans adore. Swickard’s refusal to work with Dominic again, said jokingly, adds charm to their on-screen dynamic. That spark keeps viewers invested and excited for more fun moments.
