We bet you forgot these celebrities were on General Hospital
Previously, we saw on 'General Hospital', friends and relatives keep a watchful eye on Vigil at General Hospital, and tempers flared on the Haunted Star. Maxie, Brook Lynn and Chase had to make a decision between two options. Drew and Sam finally had a long-overdue conversation and Charlotte was worried about her father's health.
'General Hospital' is credited with kicking off various developments in the 1980s soap opera genre, most notably the fast-paced action-adventure plotlines that were a far cry from the more typical domestic and societal themes that had dominated most soap operas in previous decades.
The plot of this show revolves around the fictional city of Port Charles, New York, and the employees at its General Hospital, which first aired in 1963. Storylines spread out to involve relationships of many families such as the Hardys, the Webbers, the Spencers, the affluent Quartermaines, and the regal Cassadines, at first centering on the romances of the health workers. Luke and Laura from General Hospital popularized the concept of the soap opera supercouple. Their wedding was the most-watched event in the history of daytime television.
Numerous national organizations have praised the show for raising public awareness of important health and social issues such as sexual responsibility, HIV/AIDS-related storylines, tolerance and understanding for gay, lesbian, and transgender people, bipolar disorder, accurate portrayals of tobacco, drug, and alcohol addiction, breast cancer awareness, sexual child abuse, and organ donation, among others. Frank and Doris Hursley, husband and wife soap writers, created 'General Hospital,' which premiered on April 1, 1963. Gloria Monty was hired as executive producer in 1978, and she is credited with establishing the first super-couple, Luke and Laura Spencer.
