Hughes stated:

"The stunts in Africa were, like, really amazing, like the big fireball that we did outside."

Steve Burton, who played Jason on General Hospital, answered:

"For me, it's the explosion of Sonny's penthouse. It's always fun to do stunts. The fire was amazing, the special effects guys were awesome... the rafters were falling down."

Maurice Benard, the actor who brought to life the character of Sonny, added to Steve's statement and explained that in his 31 years on the show, the explosion at the penthouse was probably the best or one of the best stunts he had seen.

"As you know, I am a complete newbie to the show, so my favorite moments were when I first stepped onto the set. It was just a revelation. I'd never done a show like this before. And the complexity of it, the speed of it, it was mind-blowing and exhilarating."
