I love the outrageousness of the storylines. Today, it’s the only show that I regularly watch. I’ve spent my adult life dropping in and out of the “General Hospital” universe, catching up with characters on days off or when I could take a lunch break at 2 p.m. During my senior year of high school and freshman year of college, I was sucked into the tragic romance of Robin Scorpio and Stone Cates, a powerful storyline that’s still remembered for addressing HIV and AIDS transmission. In my vague, early childhood memories, I can see Luke and Laura on the TV set in our den as I play with my younger sister. Here’s my secret: I’ve been watching “General Hospital” since birth because it was one of the soaps my mom watched.
Save for those few months in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down television and film shoots, leaving soap fans to rely on reruns, “General Hospital” still airs new episodes nearly every weekday. Now, in an era marked by streaming networks and instant access to virtually any TV show, “General Hospital” is the longest-running soap opera currently airing on network television and the only remaining daytime drama on ABC.
