About Nicole

Nicole Gomez Fisher is the writer, director and producer of the feature film “Sleeping with the Fishes,” which can currently be seen on HBO and HBO GO. She received the Brooklyn Film Festival’s award for Best New Director and was named Best Director at the 2014 Imagen Awards.
Starting out as an actress and stand-up comic, Nicole is a founding member of “The Hot Tamales Live!”, the Latina comedy tour produced by Eva Longoria and Kiki Melendez. She went on to write and perform her acclaimed one-woman show, “Mixed”, at the New York Underground Comedy Festival.
Nicole’s latest directing projects include “The Beauty of Disaster”, a short film written by Janet Stilson in which she also produced, and “Getting out of My Own Way,” a music video for indie recording artist Jennifer Vazquez. She is currently working on two new projects, another short entitled “In Dreams” by Millie Loredo, in which she is producing and assistant directing, and a feature “Stronger Than Pretty” by Pat Branch and Jaret Martino, which is set to shoot in late 2016.
Her scripts for original sitcoms, “This is My Life” and “Hotel 112” won praises at internationally recognized screenwriting competitions and her latest screenplay, “Good Egg”, is an action comedy that she compares to “Thelma & Louise” meets “Baby Mama.” She recently was invited to submit Good Egg for consideration to the 2016 Sundance Screenwriters Lab.

General Hospital (2002)
Television by Frank Hursley (Drama) Actress During the original show up through the 1970s, the show primarily covered Dr. Steve Hardy (John Beradino) and his friend, Nurse Jessie Brewer (Emily McLaughlin). Late in the 1970s, the show was doing badly in the ratings, so a new executive producer, Gloria Monty, decided to move the show's focus away from the hospital and onto material more relevant to a younger audience than the stereotypical "bored housewife", thus bringing in Luke and Laura, (Anthony Geary and Genie Francis) and eventually having them marry in a stereotypical fantasy wedding that would not be matched until the real-life marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.
