Let’s Get This Party Started

“Anything goes!” isn’t the official motto of the talent show, but come on… It always kinda is! Right, Nina (Cynthia Watros)?

Erm, yes. But in this instance, Grey’s Anatomy star Chandra Wilson, with Maurice Benard (Sonny), is playing red-carpet reporter Sydney Val Jean, not the formidable Miranda Bailey.
Three generations, no waiting! Carly (Laura Wright), Bobbie (Jacklyn Zeman) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy) add a little sparkle to the goings-on.
Something’s wrong with this picture of Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez). But what? What?
Ah, that’s it! What was wrong with that photo of Spencer was that it was missing his sweetheart, Trina (Tabyana Ali). That’s better.
Chase (Josh Swickard) doesn’t appear to have a care in the world. Or even a care in Port Charles.
Keep the neck braces handy, because Finn (Michael Easton) and his younger sib are sure to turn heads whenever they pass by.
Could Finn and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) finally be well and truly past the drama that separated them? Well, for the moment, anyway. Long-term? Doubtful!
If Liz finds herself standing alone, it can only be because everyone knows that where she goes, heartache tends to follow.
Never mind the tension in her present and uncertainty of her future — Carly looks ready to paint the town the color of her dress.
Drew (Cameron Mathison) fills out his formal attire so perfectly, you could convince us that it’s his birthday suit.
Or should we say someone? And when Ava (Maura West) gets there, she’s going to want two things in short order. First, a martini. Then, a…
Yup, Austin (Roger Howarth) fits the bill nicely. But how do he and Ava look together?
They’re the couple we would’ve always wanted if we’d had the foresight to guess how much fun they’d be together.
… is the only way to go for Dex (Evan Hofer), considering that his betrayal of Sonny could get him fitted for cement shoes.
Josslyn might have something to say about her former stepfather rubbing out her boyfriend. Something like “no,” we imagine.
The sequins aren’t even necessary; Maxie (Kirsten Storms) brightens up the room plenty with her smile alone.
Ya can’t have a Nurses Ball with nurses, eh, Bobbie?
We almost didn’t recognize Sam (Kelly Monaco) wearing something other than her trademark black.
Even a couple as cute as Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Sam couldn’t take a picture this perfect twice… or could they?
They could. They did. And here it is, a feast for the eyes.
Dante seems unsure that he’s going to have fun at the extravaganza. Spoiler alert: He is.
Portia (Brook Kerr) trades her scrubs and lab coat for an evening gown — to dazzling effect.
Yeah, OK, there may be a little tension between Curtis’ current wife and his former wife, Jordan (Tanisha Harper).
What Sonny doesn’t know — in particular, about Dex — could hurt him. Both of them, come to think of it.
In store for this Port Charles power couple was some enchanted evening. That is, if they could just avoid his ex-wife.
We’d suspect Sonny of many things. But eyeballing this image, him having the weight of the world on his shoulders wouldn’t be one of them.
See you next year?
One last picture — including a face that might be more familiar than you realize. Here’s why.
