Though their alter-egos have yet to cross on General Hospital, Emma Samms (Holly Sutton) would readily welcome the opportunity to work opposite Evan Hofer (Dex Heller).
Emma Samms Sings Evan Hofer’s Praises
“I’ve got a nice little story which deserves to be told,” insisted the actress in a recent sit-down with Soap Opera Digest.
“I was sitting in the makeup room and a delightful young man [that would be Hofer!] comes up and says, ‘Oh, I just wanted to let you know that you’re in my dressing room, which I’m delighted about.’ He says, ‘And if you would like some tea, there’s a whole selection in the top drawer on the left.’ And I went, ‘Well, wait a minute! You’re working at the moment?! Why aren’t you in your dressing room?’ And he said, ‘Because Frank [Valentini, executive producer] asked if it would be okay if you were in there whilst you were here.’ ”

Hofer’s courtesy quickly earned him Samms affection…and taught her a little something unappealing about herself.
Continues Samms: “I said, ‘What?! So you’re in a different room, you’re not in your dressing room, because I’m in your dressing room?!’ And he said, ‘Honestly, it’s completely fine, it’s my pleasure.’ I said, ‘You’re so nice about it — I would be outraged if someone took my dressing room!’ He said, ‘No, no, of course.’ I said, ‘You’re so kind!’ He said, ‘Well, I’m from Kansas.’ And I just said, ‘Well, that is the most gracious, kind thing. How incredibly delightful of you to have done that. And I am so grateful.’
“So every time I see him now, I’m completely filled and wracked with guilt that he’s, you know, been asked to move out of his dressing room and he’s done it with such good grace! I mean, how lovely is that?
“All the stories that you hear about — not on General Hospital, but about people in the business becoming entitled and taking things for granted … It certainly could not be further from the truth in regards to that young man. So I feel he deserves to have all the plaudits and public thanks for just being so kind and gracious. He’s been raised right, that young man. And every time I run into him, I just hang my head in shame [laughs]!”
