“#Katelyn MacMullen & William Lipton on Their Standout ‘General<\/a> Hospital’ Performances<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Two of General Hospital<\/em>\u2019s youngest and brightest stars are in the running to take home golden girls on Friday, June 26, at the 47th<\/sup> Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. And the fact that the event is virtual and one of the categories will be announced on social media<\/a> after <\/em>the show hasn\u2019t dampened either nominee\u2019s enthusiasm for the big night.<\/p>\n

TV Insider chatted with Outstanding Young Performer in a Drama Series<\/a> nominee Katelyn MacMullen, who plays cult survivor Willow Tait, and Best Original Song nominee William Lipton (Cameron Webber), who composed the tune “North Star,” which he performed on-screen last year.<\/p>\n

MacMullen turned in numerous tour-de-forces as Willow\u2019s boyfriend Chase (Josh Swickard) and others learned that she\u2019d been sucked into the cult known as Dawn of Day, which was run by evil Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin). He impregnated her after a bizarre ritual and she gave his baby up for adoption.<\/p>\n

MacMullen\u2019s reel includes scenes in which Willow makes an emotional app<\/a>eal to Shiloh\u2019s latest victim \u2013 Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth). She was able to reach Kristina in a way that no one else could, having herself been manipulated by Shiloh in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember being very nervous the day we shot those scenes,\u201d MacMullen shares. \u201cI was working with Maurice [Benard, Sonny], Nancy [Grahn, Alexis], Joe [Flanigan, Neil] and others whom I really respect and admire. Maurice took me aside ahead of time and said, \u2018Hey, I know you\u2019re nervous. This is a big day.\u2019 We sat together for close to an hour and he was so helpful.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaurice pushed me to push myself as an actor,\u201d MacMullen continues. \u201cEvery actor there was so supportive and great. Our director, Phideaux [Xavier] was so awesome. He gave me great advice, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps even more daunting than reliving the Dawn of Day ordeal are some other scenes on MacMullen\u2019s reel. Her school teacher character told Charlotte\u2019s (Scarlett Fernandez) father Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and stepmother Nina (then, Michelle Stafford) that there was a bullying problem at school \u2013 and that Charlotte<\/em> was the instigator! (This did NOT sit well with Nina.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI have teachers who are close friends and they gave me a ton of advice,\u201d the actress says. \u201cI\u2019d read a script and see that Willow was handling something a certain way and they\u2019d say [after seeing the show], \u2018Oh, yeah, that\u2019s totally it.\u2019\u201d Bullying at school, MacMullen says, \u201cis a serious issue and needs to be addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lipton was a nominee in the category of Outstanding Younger Leading Actor in a Drama Series last year for his role as Cameron, but this year he\u2019s up for his song, “North Star.” He debuted the tune at the annual Nurses Ball, in which Port Charles citizens display musical talents at an AIDS\/HIV awareness talent show (within the show).<\/p>\n

<\/br> What makes his nod all the more impressive is that he was not only competing with other original songs on soap operas but also with songs from programming throughout the daypart. (His competition includes two tunes performed on the 93rd<\/sup> Annual Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>The inspiration for the song,” Lipton says, \u201ccame from a scene in which Cameron and Joss (Eden McCoy) were talking about the North Star. It was an ode to [the late] Oscar (Garren Stitt). He and Cameron had become friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lipton\u2019s nomination is for composing (not singing) the song. \u201cBut I also had the good fortune to play it and perform it on the show,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

How is composing music different from acting? \u201cThere are so many ways to express yourself,\u201d says Lipton, who counts Bono, Chris Martin, and John Mayer among his influences. \u201cSong-writing is about analyzing your emotions and putting them in ways that people can relate. I find inspiration for my music by reading and having personal experiences. There are no rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

Win or lose, performers receive a certificate from the National Academy of Television Arts & Science<\/a>s (NATAS) acknowledging their nomination. \u201cI have mine from last year,\u201d Lipton says. \u201cIt\u2019s framed and is on my desk and I\u2019m very proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lipton\u2019s entering his senior year of high school later this year and he hopes to continue to split his time between working on GH<\/em> and furthering his education. \u201cI\u2019d love to go to [a college or university] in Los Angeles that has a good music or acting program,\u201d he says. \u201cThe GH <\/em>family has always been supportive of my music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans are looking forward to the soaps coming back and finding out, among other things, who Cameron will give his heart to \u2014 Trina (Sydney Mikayla Shepherd) or Joss (McCoy). \u201cCameron\u2019s in an interesting place,\u201d Lipton muses. \u201cHe\u2019s been dealing with conflict his whole teenage life. His current conflict is a bit new. He\u2019s always loved Joss and he\u2019s had this deep connection with her. Now, he\u2019s got this spark with Trina, which is new and exciting. He\u2019s figuring it all out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, what connection, if any, does Willow have to Nina\u2019s (Cynthia Watros) long-lost daughter? \u201cI am just as anxious to find out the truth about that,\u201d MacMullen admits. \u201cThe story\u2019s been going on since before I came onto the show. I\u2019ve always wondered who is <\/em>Nina\u2019s daughter? I love that character and watching her wonder about her daughter and where she might be. That makes me wonder, too!\u201d<\/p>\n
