The General Hospital fandom got an exciting treat during the latest Daily Drama Podcast episode. Hosts Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) answered fan questions, diving into intriguing behind-the-scenes details. One hot topic was Anderson’s recurring status on the show. Fans wanted to know if it was his personal choice or due to scheduling conflicts.
General Hospital: Bradford Anderson Explains His Recurring Status
Anderson wasted no time clearing the air. He explained that contract versus recurring roles aren’t always in the actor’s hands. “I have plenty of free time,” he shared before revealing that the decision wasn’t entirely up to him. “In 2013, I chose not to renew my contract,” Anderson stated. He wanted to explore different opportunities but remained open to returning. “That automatically put me in recurring status,” he continued. Fortunately, the General Hospital team kept calling him back, and he gladly accepted.
Since 2015, Anderson has maintained his recurring role while earning five Daytime Emmy Award nominations. His portrayal of Damian Spinelli has become a fan favorite. The actor first joined GH in 2006 and held a contract until 2014. His flexible arrangement allows him to return whenever the show needs Spinelli, which works well for both parties.
During the podcast, Anderson emphasized that this setup fits his lifestyle. He enjoys balancing General Hospital with other projects and personal interests. Despite being on a recurring basis, his character remains an essential part of Port Charles. Fans appreciate his continued presence, even in a limited capacity.
Meanwhile, Steve Burton, who recently returned to General Hospital, enjoyed the discussion and praised Anderson’s dedication. Their conversation gave fans an inside look at the realities of working on a soap opera. Burton and Anderson’s podcast continues to be a must-listen for General Hospital enthusiasts. Their candid conversations reveal fascinating behind-the-scenes details that keep viewers engaged.
