  • General Hospital (known as GH) is an American daytime television drama that is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest running drama in television currently in production, as well as the third longest running soap opera in American history, after Guiding Light and As the World Turns. Concurrently, it is also the world's third longest-running scripted drama series currently in production after British soap operas The Archers and Coronation Street, as well as the second longest running television soap opera still in production following Coronation Street. General Hospital debuted April 1, 1963 on the ABC Television network. It currently also holds the record for most Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series, with ten wins. Created by husband-and-wife soap writers Frank and Doris Hursley, the series was originally set in a general hospital of an unnamed community, until it was dubbed Port Charles, New York in the late 1970s. In the beginning, General Hospital starred John Beradino and Emily McLaughlin as Dr. Steve Hardy and Nurse Jessie Brewer, respectively. Both Beradino and McLaughlin would remain with the series until their deaths in the early 1990s. In 1964, they were joined by Rachel Ames as Audrey March, who remains the longest running actress on an ABC soap opera, having ended her run in 2007. General Hospital became the second soap opera to air on the ABC television network, following the short-lived Road to Reality, which only aired for several months during the 1960-61 television season. In 1964, a sister soap was created for General Hospital, intitled The Young Marrieds, which only ran for two years and was cancelled due to poor ratings. General Hospital has since spawned two direct spinoffs from itself: Port Charles, which aired in the ABC daytime lineup from 1997 to 2003, and General Hospital: Night Shift, which aired two twelve episode seasons on SOAPnet from 2007 to 2008. Currently taped at The Prospect Studios, General Hospital originally aired for a half hour from the series debut until July 23, 1976, The show was then expanded to 45 minutes on July 26, 1976, and then to 60 minutes on January 16, 1978. Ever cince the late 1970s, most of the show's storylines have revolved around the Quartermaine, Spencer, or Scorpio families. From 1979 to 1988, General Hospital was the number one most watched daytime soap opera on television, which has now been succeeded by The Young and the Restless. The series' success during this time was largely to do with the monumentally popular "supercouple" of Luke Spencer and Laura Webber, whose 1981 wedding brought in 30 million viewers, and remains the highest-rated hour of television in American soap opera history. In 2007, Time Magazine named General Hospital one of the magazine's "100 Best TV Shows of All-Time". In April 2009, the series began broadcasting in High Definition. Following the cancellations of Guiding Light and As the World Turns, in 2009 and 2010, respectively, General Hospital now holds the destination of being the oldest American soap opera currently airing. As well, following the cancellations of All My Children and One Life to Live in 2011, General Hospital is currently the last remaining soap opera on the ABC television network. On April 11, 2012, ABC renewed General Hospital after 49 years due to high costs and high ratings, and therefore canceled instead a talk show The Revolution, which premiered January 16, 2012 and ended July 6, 2012. On September 10, 2012, after Good Afternoon America ended, General Hospital moved from the timeslot of 3:00PM Eastern to the new timeslot of 2:00PM Eastern, while Katie Couric's talk show Katie premiered in the 3:00PM Eastern timeslot. General Hospital celebrated its 50th Anniversary on April 1, 2013 and aired its 13,000th episode on February 24, 2014. In January 2014, ABC again renewed General Hospital for another new season, a month after it canceled Katie due to low ratings.
