What do you think? Do you still like General Hospital TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for additional seasons?
Please Keep General Hospital on. Have watched since high school. Might not want to drag story lines on as much as the writers do sometimes.
Please keep General Hospital on ABC. It is a big part of my life. New stories happen all the time. The Soap wins awards.

So dumb

I don’t know how you stand it good for you I cannot
We love Sonny and Carley we love how much they fight to be together bring Sonny back they are General Hospital
General Hospital is great do not cancel we love everyone except Peter, you can cancel him
Cancel.., storylines are ridiculous for every character! You have managed to ruin Jason, Sonny, Michael, Sam, Carly, … All characters!!!! I cannot stomach any of them anymore !!! I’m not sure which one is more ridiculous..,, Sonny & Nina, Jason & Carly or the stupid , unbelievable baby storyline. Please cancel the show… OR fire the writers
Fire the writers
General Hospital is just this side of boring this summer. Bring Sonny back to his senses!!!! Let Jason get involved with others not Carly!!! Get the college kids, good acting, get off to college!!! Get a real couple stories ignite again…. Please. I have been watching since 1966 but when writing is average I Fast Forward a lot
GET SONNY BACK TO PORT CHARLES!
At this point cancel it. It is evident that TPTB are no longer interested in giving the people a quality show. Everything that could be wrong is wrong starting with the writing and the EP. There are way to many people on canvas. SL being so disconnected and not making any sense. GH is now a shell of itself. If there’s not a shakeup within the top put it and the people out of its misery and cancel it.
Please RENEW GH. I’ve watched over 30 years. Do not remove my favorite show ever!!!!!
Could it get any more boring. Thank goodness I dvr the show, I skip half of it.
Soooo true me too but I just stop taping I find myself fast forwarding most of show. So boring
GH’s ratings are going to tank if they continue to think that viewers want to see 60+ year old women jumping into bed all the time. Alexis is 65 and Anna is over 60. Please stop I can’t unsee this.
Wow I sooo agree with you
I don’t believe Jason and carly should be engaged i believe that’s not fair to sonny or Jason its wrong to do that leave sonny and carly together keep Brett and Jason together yes
I actually have loved general Hospital for twenty years and I am so sorry to say I hate it now! The writters need to be fired! What soap actually dumps and ENTIRE show worth of crap storylines on an audience? The entire show is GARBAGE NOW. Britt and Jason, willow and chase, and DONT EVEN get me started on the entire Sonny and Nina crapshoot pipedream! Lol!!! She’d be in prison on kidnapping charges for a VERY LONG TIME (enough to rid the show if her ignorance and total reliance on men to exist in the world! Way to go… Read more »
Amen to that girl!!!
