General Hospital Blog

When I was a young girl, newly married, and beginning a family, the highlight of my afternoon was the program General Hospital. I couldn't wait from one day to the next to see what was going to happen on the program. Frank and Doris Hursley are the creators of the program, held in the fictional city of Port Charles, New York. NBC began its own medical soap opera "The Doctors" at the same time ABC launched General Hospital on April 1, 1963. However, General Hospital has been the longest running American soap opera on ABC television network and not only that but the longest running soap opera produced in Hollywood. The actors have been superb and keep your attention. Thanks to this program, I have taken an interest in many other medical programs as they came along evenings, but General Hospital is still Number One. Many movie stars have appeared on this program adding more interest and excitement. They have been on the cutting edge in soaps, face-paced, covering many social issues and furnishing the viewers with action packed programs and adventure plots. In 2003 they celebrated their 40th Anniversary on television and TV Guide named it "The Greatest Soap Opera of All Time" and I have to agree. General Hospital Spoilers
