It’s here! Tomorrow is the day the iconic, American soap opera, General Hospital turns 50! GH first aired on April 1st, 1963. Just about a year ago, the fate of the entire soap opera genre was hanging by a thread. Skeptics and loyal fans alike were uncertain of the fate of this beloved American tradition. In such a short time, General Hospital has proven it is possible to overcome what was the end of a dying genre. As we have seen, the genre isn’t dead. It has just begun.
After the cancellation of ABC’s All My Children and One Life to Live, fans immediately protested and banded together to get their show back on the air. It was obviously a mistake to take these two shows off the air but soon after there was talk of reviving the shows for online viewing. General Hospital was ABC’s last standing soap and the executives and actors knew that they had to do everything they could to keep this show alive. And they did. In one year, we have seen an amazing turn around, complete fan devotion, and dedication from all that are involved in the production of the show. Women and men of all ages have given General Hospital a place in their home. Even when the time slot changed to 2Pm Eastern after decades of airing at 3 PM, fans still remained loyal. I am sure we can accredit a portion of that to the wonderful technology that is DVR.
This is such an exciting time for General Hospital and it’s devoted fans. As a GH fan myself, I want to congratulate everyone who is a part of this amazing production. I also want to thank them for making me fall in love with this show as a young girl. General Hospital has created a bond between myself, my Mother, sister, and friends that I will be able to cherish forever. My Mom passed her love for GH on to me and I in turn am passing it on to my little girl.
Please make sure to tune in tomorrow and all this week as General Hospital celebrates it’s fantastic 50th anniversary and the legendary Nurses Ball. We look forward to the coming surprises they have in store for all of us!
Actress Lindsey Morgan who portrayed the role of Kristina Corinthos Davis has announced her departure from the show. Her Facebook page confirmed that she has exited General Hospital. The actress wrote, “It is with a heavy heart I have to announce that my time at Port Charles has come to an end,” she said. “I’m not sure where Kristina is headed next but it was a beyond amazing opportunity to portray her…be part of the Davis Girls…have the Corinthos’ passion and temper run though my veins and to witness history being made on this momentous show!” Morgan has been with the show just shy of one year, replacing actress Lexi Ainsworth as the feisty daughter of Sonny Corinthos and Alexis Davis. Nothing has been said on how or when Kristina will exit the show or if the character will be recast. Please leave comments below and let us know what you think!
It makes sense that Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) is the spawn of the evil woman holding Robin hostage since Britt is quite a nasty person herself. However, she hasn’t displayed pure evil quite yet. Britt has been a disappointment to her Mother with failing to secure her relationship with Dr. Drake. Dr. Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) seems to be very interested in her daughter Britt’s love life and expressed that she wants Britt to keep trying to get back together with Patrick. She admitted that nothing and nobody should stand in her way. The evil shrew threatened her own child by telling her that she brought her into this world and has the ability to take her out! That wasn’t the only threat that she made against her own daughter. She threatened to contact her Father and let him know what is going on and that Britt isn’t trying hard enough to get things done. Who could her Father be? Do you think it’s a past resident of Port Charles, or maybe someone currently residing near Britt? Please feel free to comment below and let us know what you think. Who could Britt’s Father be and why is she so afraid of him?
Don’t forget to vote on our poll and let us know who you think her Father might be!
TV Guide Magazine has reported some new news regarding the departure of John McBain (Michael Easton), Starr Manning (Kristen Alderson), and Todd Manning (Roger Howarth) from General Hospital. The trio was forced to leave GH due to some legal issues involving the reboot of Prospect Park’s OLTL. Everyone has been wondering what will happen with these actors and their characters if and when they return to GH. Well good news is, they get to return. Bad news is, they may be forced to take on new roles.
OLTL owns the rights to the three characters and GH Head Writer, Ron Carlivati is working hard to come up with intuitive ways to work around this problem. Starr, Todd, and John have become staples in their new Port Charles lives and it wil be difficult to work around this but they will do whatever needs to be done.
This news has not yet been confirmed by General Hospital or ABC. It also has not been denied.
