Avery Pohl plays one of the most complex characters on “General Hospital,” per Digital Journal. In a November 2021 interview with Soap Opera Digest, Pohl got candid about her experience booking “General Hospital,” working with the cast, and how she brought Esme to life. The “My Daughter’s Psycho Friend” star revealed that her first on-screen kiss with Nicholas Chavez was anything but romantic. “Watching yourself kiss someone on screen is just a very uncomfortable experience,” Pohl readily admitted, “and that was my first on-screen kiss as well, so I was just terrified about how it would turn out!”
As this is her first soap title, Pohl detailed how awkward certain parts of her performance made her feel to the soap opera outlet. She revealed that it took a few viewing sessions for her to feel comfortable playing back her scenes. “At first when I was watching myself, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m not liking this’ or, ‘I’m not liking that’ about my performance, but a few more episodes in, I feel like I just see Esme and I’m not really thinking about the performance anymore,” she explained. Now that she’s a pro, she considers this a good sign.
