Kin Shriner Recalls One of His Favorite ‘General Hospital’ Stories That Still Resonates Today

General Hospital’s Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) is back in Port Charles, ready to stir up trouble with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), but her father, Scotty Baldwin, is living the retired life on a boat in Florida. Kin Shriner, who has brought Scotty to life off and on since 1977, has seen the character go from good guy to scoundrel to back again more than once. Serena came to be during one of Scott’s semi-hero arcs, which Shriner remembers fondly.

Shriner Remembers Scott and Dominique

With Serena an integral part of the GH canvas again, Shriner took to X and shared a long-ago photo of Serena’s parents during one of their saddest moments, as Scott held a dying Dominique (Shell Danielson) in his arms as she faded away.

“This was one of my favorite story lines @GeneralHospital which has now spawned a whole big story for the show! The real story was just as dramatic!!!!” Shriner wrote.

As longtime viewers know, the cynical Scott fell for and married the sweet Dominique, but their happiness was short-lived when Dominique learned she was dying from a brain tumor. She wanted to give Scott a child, so Lucy agreed to carry Scott and Dominique’s embryo. Although the late Dominique was Serena’s biological mother, Lucy raised her and Serena considers her to be her mother.

The reason Shriner said a new story has spawned is due to Serena’s return and her introduction to her brother, Cody (Josh Kelly), the son Dominique had with Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and gave up before she ever met Scott.

When fans saw Shriner’s tweet, they immediately chimed in with their love for this early 1990s storyline.

“This storyline was so amazing,” one fan wrote, echoing the feelings of many. “I remember Sott carrying Dominique in the hospital and everyone standing around after she died. Then Scott leaving with Serena and Lucy’s heart breaking and tearing up Scott’s cheek. Your performance and Lynn’s performance so memorable to me.”
