The Virtue of Owning Mistakes
The General Hospital actor, just like his character, has evolved over the years. On June 24, he posted on X/Twitter, saying, “You have to be okay with being wrong occasionally.” Moreover, he believes that so many great people have understood the importance of humility. They know that one can’t learn anything with an exaggerated idea of being right all the time. James wrapped up by saying, “You must at least make peace with the idea of being wrong.”
His co-star Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays Alexis, chimed in by admitting, “I’m wrong a lot.” Fans flocked to the comment section in no time, and most of them agreed with Patrick’s point. One fan commented, “Well, I think you’re pretty spot-on! I don’t know why people have trouble admitting they’re wrong.” They believe it all can be sorted out by apologizing and moving on. And that people shouldn’t keep holding it against you once you’ve said sorry. They added, “You and Alexis are much alike #GH❤️!”
Meanwhile, another fan revealed they feel less strained upon realizing they were wrong. “I hate being wrong, but I hate misinforming others even more!” So, the consensus among the fans was crystal clear! In short, many people struggle to admit their mistakes. One viewer summed it up perfectly. “I agree, being wrong, making mistakes And learning from them is how we grow. It’s called ‘adulting.’ 👍🏽😁.”

In a related incident, Stuart’s former co-star, Ryan Paevey (ex-Nathan), recently admitted to a mistake he made. Ryan had incorrectly stated that he didn’t receive residuals when his movies were rerun on TV. After realizing his error, he came clean and explained how he had misspoken. Additionally, his pals and the actors’ union educated him, revealing that he did receive residuals. It turned out that much of this was paid upfront due to his contract.
So, it took a lot of humility for Paevey to admit this mistake. Don’t miss out on more General Hospital celeb updates over at Soap Opera Daily! Remember, the willingness to admit when you’re wrong is something we all could practice more often.
