General Hospital is about to welcome a very special guest star. The long-running ABC soap is rolling out the red carpet for Colonel Sanders, as played by screen legend George Hamilton.
The Colonel will pay a visit to Port Charles on Friday, July 6, in honor of National Fried Chicken Day! TV Insider posted several sneak peek pics of Hamilton in his meatiest role yet, and there is no denying that the actor is a dead ringer for the famous Kentucky Fried Chicken pitchman. In the photos, Hamilton sports the Colonel's signature white facial hair and white suit, and he even dons glasses to play KFC's iconic ad man.
Chicken lovers may have been wondering why the official KFC Twitter account was offering up General Hospital "recaps" all week. The chain's social media page was filled with commentary about GH's characters, throwing followers through a loop.
Throughout the week, the famous fried chicken chain posted numerous tweets about the ABC soap, calling out fan-favorite characters such as Jason Quartermaine, Michael and Nelle, CC, Sonny, Carly, and more for their outrageous antics. There was even a shout-out to the Port Charles watering hole, The Floating Rib. Now, it turns out it was all a preview for this surprising crossover with the Chicken Man.
