He dished that Riker and himself worked on a project together – a film called ‘Holly’s Holiday’ which stars Ryan McPartlin whom ‘Passions’ fans will recognize for his role as Hank Bennett on the show and Claire Coffee. Reidy had nothing but lovely things to say about Riker, “Robin’s talent goes deep, deep, deep, from drama to comedy. She is so free and expressive and ready to play. We had a terrific experience on that film and her first day of work at General Hospital, we crashed into each other!”
