Donnell Turner sees Curtis’s future as wide open on General Hospital.
On General Hospital, Curtis Ashford and Dr. Portia Robinson’s long-awaited nuptials are about to take place, but Donnell Turner, who portrays the groom, doesn’t believe that “marriage equals death” for soap opera characters. The actor claims that he views being married on daytime as the exact opposite in a recent interview with Soap Hub.
Donnell Turner — Happily Ever After
Turner expresses to us his joy at working with his on-screen wife. He comments, “I adore working with Brook Kerr Portia.” She is amazing. Such a kind soul. Even more beautiful than she seems on television is what you witness behind the scenes. An eternal beauty Turner continues, “Working with Kerr makes life simpler. It makes my job simpler and more pleasurable, which is great because I already love my job.
GH Family Matters
Turner hopes that Curtis and Portia do get married, despite the potential for the event to be derailed by the unresolved issue of whether Curtis is the father of Trina (Tabyana Ali). He desires Mr. and Dr. Ashford to be a reliable pair on GH. The actor asserts that marriage “has the potential to not be ‘death’ but to be life!” Turner essentially wants the couple to start a family as soon as possible. He says, “There’s got to be an Ashford [son].”
Technically, T.J. [Tajh Bellow] [editor’s note: T.J.’s biological father Shawn Butler] is not an Ashford, says Turner. “There ought to be a kid. Consider all the possible narratives. A nuclear black family with a black father figure should be shown on the programme. I’ve made it clear to [the authors] that I desire marriage.
Turner thinks he’s past being cast as a playboy, despite the fact that his admirers and the directors of the upcoming James Bond movies might disagree (really, Turner would make a wonderful 007) He laughs and replies, “It’s been my whole career. “‘Take off your shirt and playboy,'” I’d want to be a bit more steady. Married life suits me well.
Donnell Turner — Wedding Day or Father’s Day?
Whether or if Curtis is identified as Trina’s biological father will depend on time. (It appears as though he will, but anything might change.) In either case, Donnell Turner wants Trina and Curtis to get along better. It’s been going on for almost three years, the actor claims. “When Sydney [Mikayla] did the part, we began making fun of it. This process has been gradual. When Cyrus was keeping Trina and Portia prisoner, Curtis shot himself in the stomach to protect her after saving her in a shootout. A foundation exists there.
