On the November 11 episode of General Hospital, Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva LaRue) and Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) got into a car accident. After the turmoil of losing her baby and the subsequent death of her sister Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), Kristina was driving while listening to a playlist that Sam made for her.

Caught up in her emotions, Kristina ended up swerving into oncoming traffic and hit Natalia, the mother of Kristina’s erstwhile girlfriend, Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez). Fortunately, no one was hurt and the show released some behind-the-scenes pics of the incident.

There’s glamour in the collision

General Hospital’s official Instagram page shared two photos from the set where the accident was filmed, with the caption:

Fender bender, but make it glamorous. 🤩 @EvaLaRue @katemansi #BehindtheScenes #GH #GeneralHospital

It was glamorous indeed, as the first pic showed LaRue standing in the faux outdoor scene with the makeup and wardrobe departments working on her stylish look. The second image was a faraway shot of the set with the woody and rocky background, Kristina’s damaged car in front of that, and Kristina standing there while Natalia called for help. The studio cameras and lights could be seen, and several higher-up lights added atmosphere to the foggy set.

@pickleprincesspink's eagerly got into the reality created by the set with the response:

Whenever I see behind-the-scenes stuff it really reminds me how incredible these actors are because with all the stage scenery on the sidelines cut out you're just pulled right into the moment of their powerful acting performances. I could never act, I could never get lost in the unreality of a moment with 3-D reality steps away. These people are amazing.

@wildandfree683 chimed in with the response:

If your not gonna turn her into Dr. Maria Santos Grey then show her the door!!! PS: GH needs more doctors.

Maria Santos Grey was LaRue’s character on the defunct soap, All My Children, which she played from 1993 to 2011. Another fan, @wildandfree683, who recalls LaRue’s AMC stint, added to that with a critical statement:

Or at least give her a STORY on GH. She was back to her Maria Santos awesomeness on today’s episode 👏.

The fan was referring to the fact that Kristina and Natalia, who had previously been at odds, were able to have a nice heart-to-heart after the incident. Natalia had the foresight to call Kristina’s dad, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), who arrived in time to comfort his daughter.

It’s always fun when shows share images from the set. While there were no stunts involved this time, it was great to get a glimpse of the magic of television.
