‘General Hospital’ (GH) Spoilers reveal it has to feel pretty good to play someone who is so bad, right? ‘General Hospital’ star Charles Shaughnessy says that he knows his character Victor Cassadine is bad to the bone and that’s why he’s having so much fun playing him on the canvas. Here’s what he has to say.
In a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, Charles said that he knew he had some pretty big shoes to fill when he took on the role as Victor Cassadine. He put it this way to the publication, “Well, thank you. When you first take over a character like that, a lot of the diehard fans are like, ‘But that’s not Thaao [Penghlis, ex-Victor]!’
‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Charles Shaughnessy Knows Victor Is Bad To The Bone
But after a while, like with all soap characters that have been around for a while, you kind of gradually make it different and make it your own. He’s such a fun character that I think people enjoy Victor no matter what actor is playing him.”
With that said though, Charles adds that there’s still so much that he’s learning about his character. What’s more, he loves seeing Victor interact with more and more people in this fictional town of Port Charles that he’s in. But at the same time, he’s also learning to put a name to each face, too!
Charles explained, “Yes, it sort of grows and grows each week! I’m still struggling to figure out who everyone is. Do I hate them? Do I like them? Are they trying to kill me? Am I trying to kill them? Have I slept with them [laughs]? It moves at breakneck speed. When Victor shows up for Thanksgiving at Alexis’s house, it was like a bevy of Cassadines. Everyone’s there and tension is high and Victor is surprisingly back from the dead, and it was quite fun trying to figure out who everyone was and how I was related to them. But they’re definitely having Victor interact with more varied people now, which is nice.”
