General Hospital star Donnell Turner travels to meet fans of the ABC soap opera.
The number of distant shoots for soaps has decreased from their former frequency. Curtis Ashford from General Hospital, played by Donnell Turner, claims that travel is still a requirement of his position. For this week’s Travel Tuesday, the actor talked to Soap Hub about his most recent travels.
Donnell Turner — Stress-Free Class
Turner claims that he frequently travels for both work and pleasure. I frequently travel to Canada, the actor claims. Turner, who joined GH in 2016, claims that he travels to see family members who live in the northern part of the country. He claims that he goes within the United States to promote GH domestically. He visited Washington, D.C. in 2019 to meet supporters of General Hospital. He visited Graceland, Elvis Presley’s home, last year to meet and greet with fans of the serial opera.
We’re everywhere, he declares. I get to shake people’s hands, kiss infants, and thank the people who are watching us. Turner claims he doesn’t spend much time on social media, but he uses it frequently enough to interact with some of the show’s most ardent fans. You get to see them and discover that you are this person from Twitter. At times, I’m just as devoted to them as they are to me.
Fan-tastic Road Trips
When he meets fans, most of them, according to Donnell Turner, want to express how much they adore the programme. Over the years, they’ve told me a number of intriguing things, including that I smell wonderful, he thinks. Compliments are quite helpful. Sometimes a fan will say something that is probably an unintended praise. I’ll hear, “Oh, you’re smaller than I imagined you’d be,” laughs the 6’2″ actor with a solid build. “That’s what motivates me to stay at the gym.”
Donnell Turner Learns from the Best
The actor claims that being on vacation with his GH coworkers taught him some useful travel advice. “I just discovered one from my employer, Frank Valentini [executive producer], who inquired about my trip plans. He sends his in advance, Turner says.
If news stories are to be believed, airport delays may appear to be more frequent than ever. Turner, who was reminded of how crucial it is to maintain your composure when delays happened over his previous Christmas vacation, advises “Stay adaptable.” I may have been a bit more worried if it had been a professional trip, he admits. I can’t fly the plane myself, though, you know. I thereby maintain my flexibility.
