Soap Opera Digest: Who killed David Hamilton in 1978?
York: David Hasselhoff [ex-Snapper, Y&R].
Digest: Nope. Laura.
York: You may want to doublecheck that.
Digest: Uh, okay, John. Moving on. Who originated the role of Helena Cassadine?
York: Tony Geary [Luke].
Digest: Close. Elizabeth Taylor. Next question. Which Port Charles resident is actually an Aztec princess?
York: That would be [San Francisco Giant] Barry Bonds.
Digest: Felicia.
York: Who?
Digest: Duly noted. In 1994, who donated her heart to save Maxie's life?
York: That would have to be Helena, because she's the only character on the show who has no heart.
Digest: Good point, but it was actually B.J. Next up, who was the first actor from GH to win an Emmy?
York: John Beradino [ex-Steve].
Digest: Peter Hansen [ex-Lee] won an Emmy as Outstanding Supporting Actor in 1979.
York: A great actor! I loved watching his work. That was when I started watching [GH]. I loved those Lee and Scotty scenes.
Digest: Us, too. Which STAR TREK actor appeared on GH: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy or James Doohan?
York: Leonard Nimoy.
Digest: Correct. He played a pill-pusher named Bernie in 1963.
York: Really? I just guessed [laughs]!

Here Came The Bride: In 1990, Lucy (Lynn Herring) gave new meaning to the term "blushing bride" when she married Alan (Stuart Damon) in a red wedding gown.

Digest: Who got married wearing a red wedding dress?
York: Tony Geary. Actually, that would be Tiffany. Even I know that.
Digest: It was Lucy.
York: Oh.
Digest: What was Ned's rock 'n' roll alter ego?
York: It wasn't Wally Kurth [Ned]. Shakey And The Spandex?
Digest: Uh....
York: No, it was Willy Wyoming.
Digest: Eddie Maine.
York: Wrong state.
Digest: Last question. Who created GENERAL HOSPITAL?
York: Tony Geary.
Digest: Frank and Doris Hursley.
York: Correct!
Score: 1 out of 9. Too bad we didn't ask something where the answer really was Tony Geary. Thanks for playing, John.
