GH’s Saucedo Turns Author!

Tags:

Thanks to the latest creative venture from her real-life husband, the flawless face of GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth) now graces the cover of a serialized e-book, Liberty Strong, the first installment of which, Dead Extra, was just released. Inspired by his soap star wife, Michael Saucedo (ex-Juan) has co-written a series of episodes revolving around Liberty, a fictional daytime darling who remains unshakable even as chaos closes in on her daily life.

“The idea came about as a combination of batting ideas around with my co-writer, Nik Price, and a running joke with Becky,” Saucedo explains. “She’s always blaming things on her alter-ego, Liberty, which also happens to be her middle name. When someone finishes the last cup of coffee, Liberty drank it. Or if there’s an In-N-Out Burger wrapper hidden in the side pocket of the truck, Liberty left it there. Actually, now that I think about it, Liberty gets my truck dirty and eats a lot of my food!

“Nik and I wanted to take what we knew about daytime television,” he continues, “and write a kick-[butt] female lead. We wanted her to be strong. And Liberty Strong was born!”

Saucedo and Price opted to write episodes rather than a book, because they wanted to write the way people read! “Right before bed, on a quick break, when they can fit in a good story,” Saucedo points out. “People watch daytime because they like the urgency and the drama and the quickness of it all. You can create that in episodes.”
