Congratulations General Hospital!

Congratulations to all of the cast and crew of General Hospital for their big win at the 39th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards! General Hospital took home 5 awards on Saturday, including Outstanding Drama Series. Congrats to Anthony Geary on his win for Lead Actor, to Nancy Lee Grahan for Best Supporting Actress, to Jonathon Jackson for Best Supporting Actor, and to the GH directing team! Also, congratulations to ALL the GH nominees, your fans are very proud of you!!! This awards ceremony got me so emotional. I shed tears of joy and happiness for my favorite show, GH, and also tears of sadness for the actors and actresses of All My Children and One Life to Live. I still believe that the loss of those two soaps were made under wrongful decisions and has resulted in an historic television network mistake. I am very proud of ABC’s last soap standing and have confidence that GH will continue to touch the lives of fans everywhere five days a week , for many years to come. Congrats General Hospital!
