Behind the Scenes of GENERAL HOSPITAL’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ Episode

By Chris Eades

On Dec. 23, GENERAL HOSPITAL kicked off Christmas week with a very special episode featuring their take on the classic tale A Christmas Carol. Michael Easton (Finn) starred as Ebeneezer Scrooge, and was incredibly proud of the elaborate production. “Starring more than 25 members of the cast (and a few surprises),” he shared on Facebook. “Although the real stars are our amazing crew, the writers for their wonderful vision, and the incredible directing team led by Phideaux Xavier.”

Eden McCoy (Josslyn) shared some fun backstage photos with her fellow Christmas ghost played by Maura West (Ava) as she thanked fans for watching their special Christmas Carol episode.

If you missed the very special holiday show — or if you just want to watch it over again on Christmas — you can check it out on both ABC.com as well as Hulu.
