Since August, General Hospital fans have been wondering where Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner) went off to. One moment, he was telling Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) that it was Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) who messed with Sonny’s bipolar medication, and the next moment, he was gone without a trace. Since viewers haven’t been able to get their Scotty fix for so long, it was nice of General Hospital alum Marcus Coloma (ex-Nikolas Cassadine) to create a video showing some hilarious moments he and Shriner shared on their hilarious social media Videos.

General Hospital alum Marcus Coloma took to Instagram to post his video, which was set to the tune of Duke Ellington’s Sugar Rum Cherry (Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy). Coloma then expressed his appreciation for their friendship, writing, “Happy Birthday @kinshriner, really fun having someone so playful and creative around ❤️🎉.” Scotty’s portrayer responded, “Thanks we have been in a few predicaments.”

Co-star Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) chimed in with, “Happy Birthday Kin xxx.” The video was comprised of several clips from their previous collaborations. In the first clip, the duo heads to a golf course only to find that the place doesn’t rent out golf clubs. As the music kicked in, giving it a film noir feel, some clips were from their comedy videos where the two play private eyes.

In several subsequent clips, Shriner’s card is declined at every restaurant they go to, and it appears they may have had to wash dishes in one place to make up for it. In another scene, Shriner is kidnapped by two men with pantyhose on their heads and their fingers pointed like guns beneath their shirts. They put a bag on Shriner’s head and walk him out to the sidewalk, where they leave him. The two were clearly Coloma and co-star Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) playing different characters.

Another has Shriner in Benard’s GH dressing room, trying to look cool while Coloma boogies his heart out. Shriner later is outside with a necktie wrapped around the top of his head as he and Coloma have a fake karate fight. The video ends with Shriner sporting a wacky, double-parted hairdo with a Clark Gable-style mustache.

Knowing Shriner’s reputation for being frugal, @stdipiet hilariously responded with, “Happy Birthday @kinshriner!! Hope you are enjoying a martini and a big steak. Heard @marcuscoloma is treating!!” Fan @beckylovesblue had a great idea with the reply, “Somebody get these guys a prime time sitcom!!!! ❤️❤️ @abc @cbstv.”

These two would definitely have a hit comedy on their hands if they lobbied the networks!
