As General Hospital fans saw during Monday’s airshow, Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) plan to hit up Corinthos safehouses in search of Jason (Steve Burton) hit a major snag courtesy of the latter forgetting to gas up her car. But what wasn’t made clear was that the scenes in question were shot on location — well, the studio parking lot — and at night.

Bradford Anderson Gives Us The Skinny

“Normally car scenes are filmed on the sound stage,” detailed Anderson to Daily Drama. “They bring a car through the loading dock and are able to create whatever scene they see fit…We weren’t quite sure why they decided to film our car scene [the way that they did], but it was a fun departure from the normal!” A departure indeed.

While a studio-bound shoot offers a controlled and insulated environment, location shooting presents its fair share of hazards.

So, what did Anderson, Storms, and co. have to contend with to get their scenes air-appropriate? For one, sound issues from a nearby lingering helicopter, sirens, and “other sounds of Los Angeles,” not to mention malfunctioning light sources, and a later than normal start time of 6:30 PM.

“But true to soap form, we completed our 4 scenes in time to be out before a required dinner break,” quipped Anderson.

As for Maxie’s insistence that it was time for Spinelli to move out, the actor could but muse, “We’ll see if a little distance makes the heart grow fonder or if it’s ‘out of sight, out of mind.”

Be sure to check out the behind-the-scenes photographs provided by Bradford Anderson above, then head to the comments and let us know what you thought of Spinelli and Maxie’s scenes. Did it put you in mind of their capers of old?
