It's a sad day for the family, friends, and fans of Shell Kepler. 1959-2008. We will miss our Angel!There were so many clips of Shell...that I couldn't possibly fit them in just one song. I'm working on something special which should be out in a week or so. Song is"How To Save A Life" by The FrayPLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS.GH finally remembers nurse Amy Vining!Beloved GH Star Dies-ABCGeneral Hospital fans are mourning the loss of Shell Kepler, who portrayed Nurse Amy Vining for over 20 years. She passed away on February 1 in Portland, Oregon, at the Oregon Science & Health University hospital. Kepler was only 47 years old.Nurse Amy was the adopted sister of Laura Webber Spencer (Genie Francis), as well as an aunt to Nikolas, Lucky and Lulu. Amy followed her sister to Port Charles and became a candystriper at General Hospital. She later graduated to full-fledged nurse and became a fixture at the sixth floor nurses station. Since she was known as the town gossip, no secret ever stayed safe with Amy for too long!Longtime viewers will recall that although Amy flirted with many of Port Charles' eligible men, her longest relationship was with boxer Johnny Morrissey.Kepler began her acting career at age nine, in a Chattanooga, Tennessee production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. After moving to Los Angeles, she worked as a reporter before landing her GH role. She guest starred on shows like Three's Company and CHiPS and co-starred with Joan Collins in the film Homework. FYI, Kepler made frequent guest appearances as Amy on GH's sister soap, Port Charles.In the early '80s, she released a five-track record with her band, Shell and the Crush. Later in life, Kepler was a successful businesswoman. Her clothing line, "Lacy Afternoon," was popular through her appearances on the Home Shopping Network. She also shared her tips on design in the book Make Fashion Magic."I was shocked to hear of the recent and untimely passing of Shell Kepler," said Jill Farren Phelps, GH's Executive Producer. "She was a wonderful person and my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time."Kepler's longtime co-star, Jackie Zeman (Bobbie), said "In addition to her acting and designing talents, Shell loved to decorate her home. It was beautiful and warm...like Shell. She loved to cook and entertain. No one ever left Shell's house hungry. She also liked to custom make gifts for her family and friends. She had a big generous loving heart and she was a special friend to me and my daughters Cassidy and Lacey. We miss her presence in our lives and we treasure the memories of our good times together."
