However, in a fun fact, the song entitled, “A Lonely Heart To Give” was actually written by none other than former One Life to Live and General Hospital actor, Patrick J. Gibbons.

Daytime fans first met Gibbons as Sam Manning on One Life to Live. At the time, when he started on the soap, he was just 5-years-old. Gibbons played the part from 2010-2013 on ABC and Prospect Park’s editions of the show. Fast-forward to 2018, Gibbons shows up on General Hospital as Wyatt Hoover, the scout who seemed always be injured, but in the thick of the drama. Patrick had appeared on GH multiple times as Wyatt including: 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023.

FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER’S DEATH CAME THE INSPIRATION FOR HIS SONG

Now in 2026, General Hospital fans are getting to learn about another side of Gibbons’ talent as a songwriter and guitar player after “A Lonely Heart to Give” debuted today! Michael Fairman TV caught up with Patrick, who is now a senior at Penn State entering his final year as a finance major, to get the back-story of how his song wound up on GH!

Gibbons explained he wrote the song in honor of his grandmother who passed away a few years ago with whom he was, very, very close with. “Randomly, my grandmother had a downfall and passed away during the second semester of my sophomore year. I was in my dorm a lot and I was just playing with my guitar. And at the time, I was really into finger-style playing. I wrote the lyric and music to it (with a little help from my guitar teacher Lou), and my mom showed the rough demo to Frank Valentini (EP, General Hospital). He’s like an uncle to me. Frank loved it so much he said, “Finish that up. I want to hear the whole thing, and I want it on the show.”

Welcome back to Star-Kidz, your source for the young actors of daytime drama. We’ve been busy behind the scenes these last few months re-branding after the loss of our previous hosting for the website, and we are back with a fresh look, and a new set up. Work continues to get all pages refreshed, so you may continue to notice missing images, broken links, etc. but we wanted to get back online as a lot has been happening in the daytime world. Please note the following changes to Star-Kidz going forward:

Coverage
We have made the difficult decision to focus strictly on the daytime soaps. This means there are no longer sections for primetime shows previously covered, and going forward all news and updates will be focusing back on current and past soaps.

Gallery
You will notice we no longer have a full gallery. Unfortunately the space required to keep up the gallery comes with a cost that is not financially possible each month the keep it going. We will be adding a small gallery back in the near future featuring episode stills and official set images from the shows, keep checking back for its launch.

Additionally, as pages are refreshed each page where possible will include a collection of images with headshots, work images, etc.

Posts
Our main page will now consist of a variety of updates from casting news, external interviews, embedded clips, and more. We also hope to be able to get back to providing exclusive content in the near future.

With all that said, welcome back, and we hope you check back often, and thank you to the amazing Kaci for our new look!
