The real-life romance between "General Hospital" actors Chad Duell and Kristen Alderson began after Duell got an annulment from his short-lived marriage to actress Taylor Novack in 2012, and Alderson joined "GH" in 2013 (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet). As they dated, the couple also participated in "General Hospital" fan events and notably appeared at the 2014 General Hospital Fan Club Weekend, per Soap Opera Network, and at the 2014 Billboard music awards in Las Vegas (via Zimbio).
The cute couple participated in a hilarious video for "The List Show TV" in 2014 in which they appeared in front of a green screen to make it look like they were on the set of "GH." The two took turns giving funny soap opera acting tips and clearly had a great time together. Along the way, Alderson and Duell attended the Southwest Florida SoapFest Charity Weekend in May 2014, which was Duell's first time appearing there. Alderson told the Fort Myers Florida Weekly, "I'm so excited. Every year, it's just a blast. I'm excited to show Chad how much fun it is and to get to work with the kids." The pair had the opportunity to paint pictures with fans as part of the fundraiser.
They later appeared at the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmys in 2015 when both were nominated for awards. The two explained to Michael Fairman TV that they were very relaxed going into the award show.
