GH star James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) joined in on remembering the actress by sharing his experience working with O’Hara on a pilot nearly two decades ago.
He wrote about a time when she comforted him while they were shooting a pilot in the late 2000s. Stuart opened up about hitting 40 in Hollywood, and O’Hara mentioned similar feelings. The soap star acknowledged that some of their best moments took place after that chance meeting during the pilot filming.
Stuart wrote, in part, “That day I was fearful… In a way only another actor could understand. Catherine was kind enough to listen and offer comfort. I will keep that moment in my heart – under ‘Pure Grace.’”
After Stuart’s encounter with O’Hara, he landed the role of Valentin on GH. It’s a role he’s played for a decade.
