Kelly's Diner in Port Charles is the one place you should go if you are in the mood for some greasy spoon food. It was orginally owned by Rose Kelly who shared her charm, and warmth with her customers, but if you said something wrong to her Rose was not shy about telling you off.
Its the place where family's go for meal's where they don't have to worry about the washing up, but they can spend time with ther kidss and meet up with friends there too.
Ruby Anderson took it over after Rose left, and in the 1990's with Ruby in charge of the diner we saw many of the arrivals of some memorable GH characters.
In 1996 Elizabeth Webber arrived into town, she was smoking a cigarette outside of Kelly's flirting with Lucky and then tried to buy alcohol off of Ruby, who nixed her plans straight away as Elizabeth didn't look old enough.
Elizabeth got a job working there, but it didn't come without its drama. Once Ruby left Luke and Bobbie took it over and let me tell you, it was also the place in 2000 that Carly told Elizabeth off for flirting with Lucky instead of working. In fact Carly had been heard saying " Elizabeth, my mother doesn't pay you to flirt with the customers get back to work"
t is also the place in 2002 Carly discovered a hidden bar in the cellar of her family's diner. We saw a flashback of what happened during the prohibition era and we witnessed Sonny and Jason in a mob war in the cellar as well.
Kelly's has also been the centre of drama with Maxie Jones when her sister Georgie died Maxie had a nuclear melt down , threw a plate and had to be consoled by Lucky Spencer and Spinelli when she broke down and cried. Maxie has also gotten into cat fights with Lulu Spencer there which was a hilarious slapfest to behold.
In 2007 when Gun men came in and grabbed Sam Mccall, Jason's sister Emily went behind the counter and grabbed Mike's shot gun to get the gun ment to leave Sam alone.
It was also there that Lisa Niles grabbed little Emma while Robin was distracted and made her think the baby had been kidnapped but really she had just been taken around the corner of the outside of the diner.
Family's and friends gather there to eat and to shoot the breeze, and is normally a nice place to be if you go on a day where something isn't kicking off.
In 2008, Sonny's father Mike was beaten up by by rival mob bosses men after Sonny shot and killed the son of a bitch. The diner was torched, which didn't impress the Spencers one bit because no one wants that kind of crap happening at their place of business.
And if you want a good laugh , look no further Luke Spencer when he's there he's always there to entertain you, in 2011 after he killed his grandson Jake Luke, with his sick sense of humor, upon Carly telling him he shouldn't drink said " Its my diner, and I'll drink if I want to you would drink too if it happened to you"
Kelly's is always a hub bub of activity , if you want to hear some gossip first hand , or you want a ring side seat for someone going off on someone for ticking them off Kelly's is most definitely the place you want to go to.
