His first album, All I Need, came out in 1984. Since then, he has released five more albums, with the latest, On the Porch, debuting in 2014. One of Wagner’s songs, “You and Me,” was featured in The Wedding March. In a video for Hallmark Channel, he explained that he was inspired in his songwriting by the characters he’s played. “This song, when I wrote it, in all my truth, I was reflecting back about Frisco and Felicia from General Hospital,” he said. “I was reflecting back to Amanda and Peter from Melrose Place. And then I was currently on The Bold and the Beautiful and I had a love triangle. And I just sat down and I wrote this song, just about all of these loves that I’ve had in my life, personally, and the loves that the characters I’ve played have had in their lives. And that’s what this song is about.” Wagner was married to Kristina Wagner—who played Frisco’s wife Felicia on General Hospital—from 1993 to 2006. The former couple have two children, Peter and Harrison. Additionally, Wagner has a daughter, Kerry, from a previous relationship, who he was reunited with when she was 23. Kerry’s biological mother had put her up for adoption as a baby.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb Kristina joined When Calls the Heart in a recurring role in 2015, meaning the exes worked together again. “I’d say it’s very unusual yet very familiar,” Wagner told Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family of being on set with his ex-wife. “I think we’re both different people, clearly, then we were in the ’80s and our lives are very different now. We certainly had a chemistry in the ’80s, and I think [for] the audience that sees us on the show together it brings memories of General Hospital back, of magical characters. We’ve evolved as people, and I think that we have a new chemistry on this show, which is important.” RELATED: See Crockett and Tubbs From Miami Vice Now, Both at 72.
