It has been many years since Ned Ashton has performed as Eddie Maine in any serious capacity, though he (and his portrayer Wally Kurth) still occasionally bring the alter-ego to life during the annual "General Hospital" Nurses Ball (via SoapHub).

Eddie Maine first appeared at the 1995 Nurses Ball with his band the Idle Rich when they performed "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and again in 2000 when they did the song "Simply Irresistible." Ned also performed as himself in 1997, 1998, and 1999. "General Hospital" retired the Nurses Ball from 2002 to 2012, but the event returned in full force in 2013.

Eddie Maine returned to perform Meat Loaf's "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" in 2014 and Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in 2015. Ned and his wife Olivia Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero) performed dance numbers together each year from 2017 to 2020. The Nurses Ball often has real-life celebrity appearances which have included Richard Simmons, Mario Lopez, Carla Hall from "The Chew," Chandra Wilson from "Grey's Anatomy," and more (via Soaps).
