General Hospital costume department introduces themselves with Full House tribute

John Stamos doesn’t work at General Hospital anymore, but one department in the show has paid tribute to his biggest role on one of television's most popular sitcoms.

The General Hospital costume crew has some fun

Members of the show's costume and wardrobe department shared a fun video of themselves on Instagram. The video, posted by department staffers William Hoffman and Caesario Ruiz, showed members of the crew smiling in a humorous takeoff of the opening to the iconic series Full House, which starred Stamos (ex-Blackie Parrish) as Uncle Jesse.

The video showed people in the crew smiling and waving to the camera, similar to what Stamos and his castmates did in the Full House opening. You can see members of the costume department sorting through clothes that the actors wear, ironing and adjusting them, and using sewing equipment. One moment had two of the staffers having a laugh about wearing the exact same shirt.

The video ended with a picture of the whole group having a picnic lunch together, then posing for a picture at the Daytime Emmys.

You can see two of the most senior members of the staff in the video. Costume Director Shawn Reeves was shown humorously polishing an Emmy. Alice Volonino, who has been on the General Hospital staff for 33 years, can be seen rolling lint off the shirt of Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos). Volonino’s Gym, which Sonny owns and is a set on the show with a boxing ring and weight machines, is named in her honor.

Several members of the General Hospital cast Liked or commented on the post. Tabyana Ali (Trina Robinson) said, “MY SHOW IS OWN!”

The kids of GH also got in on the fun. Scarlett Spears (Donna Corinthos) said, “We miss our GH family.” Gary James Fuller (James West) said, “The best team ever! Love you all!”

The costume department performs the vital role of making sure all the actors look as good as they perform. From fancy events like the Nurses’ Ball and weddings and funerals to workplace drama at General Hospital itself, the costume department has to make sure everything fits well and the actors look great in a chosen color. It can be a thankless job that doesn’t get noticed, so hats off to them for introducing themselves and showing us what a fun group they are.
