Garren Stitt took over the role of Oscar Nero on General Hospital the second time the character was seen on the show as the previous actor had left for another series. The role was originally created to be a boyfriend for Josslyn( Eden McCoy), and Garren soon found his character having an on screen mother leading to the discovery that he was a part of the Quartermaine family through his biological father Drew Cain (then Billy Miller). Garren saw a lot of screen time between the teen scene and Oscar’s on screen family, and was later given a huge storyline when it was revealed Oscar had cancer. Garren played the emotional storyline out until it concluded with his character passing away with Josslyn at his side in the Quartermaine mansion. Garren appeared in over a hundred episodes of the soap during his time on the show.

Stars Say
- “I just thought from day one that he was adorable and kind and open and warm. I still feel all of those same things about him today.” – Tamara Braun, Soap Opera Digest
- “I think there’s definitely a trust there. There’s been a trust and a respect from day one on both of our parts. There’s an openness and a willingness to communicate any need from each other as fellow actors. I think that always lends itself to translating on-screen. And I think physically we look alike — I mean, he’s like seven feet taller than I am, but it was good casting in terms of our looks. I just had this immediate kind of maternal instinct over him, so I think that translated as well.” – Tamara Braun, Soap Opera Digest
- Garren and I have done a lot more episodes and have talked about a lot more things, so now I’m comfortable with him completely, and being friends adds to our chemistry. It also makes it easier on set, beccause it’s an uncomfortable situation, having these awkward little sort of romantic moments that 17 people are watching! The switch was really weird, but it happened super-quickly and I didn’t really have much time to think about it at all. I just had to carry on with it.” – Eden McCoy, Soap Opera Digest
- “He can pick [the material] up like nobody’s business, which is an absolute gift in this field — but I’ve known some people where it’s also a curse, because you’re like, “Oh, I can get it in two seconds. I don’t need to prepare.” But if you have that gift on top of making choices and preparing, it’s golden, and that’s what I see Garren doing a lot now, which is beautiful to watch.” – Tamara Braun, Soap Opera Digest
- “Garren is gifted. He’s been doing this since he was a little kid. With Garren, I think what works best is when we connect and try and block everything out because it can become very distracting. A lot of times people wanna joke and play before they call “Action”, and a lot of actors can do that and jump into an emotional space. That’s great, but I need to be in a space where I’m not laughing and goofing around because I come from … It’s a true place of deep emotion for me, and when I watch Garren, I think some of his best, most beautiful work has come from that as well, from taking his moment and breathing and being settled in it while all the noise and all of the commotion of creating a TV show goes on. I see it in him.” – Tamara Braun, Soap Opera Digest
- “Garren is wise beyond his years. He is such a love. He’s generous and caring and compassionate and hardworking and is always interested in growing. I feel very blessed. I adore him. I love him. I feel very, very fortunate that he plays my son and I get to play his mom because I feel these maternal instincts toward him anyway! We have a connection. It’s a real gift.” – Tamara Braun, Soap Opera Digest
