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 don’t cancel. When I miss it during the day I always have it recorded. Enough changes in the world please don’t change this.
GH has been in a toilet spiral since they threw Jason Morgan under the bus for the second time in a decade. Since then, the entire show has revolved around a sickening character named Parasite Nina, and right now, they’re literally trying to force all the other characters to worship this useless piece of dragon****. I expect a cancellation announcement to come, shortly after the 60th anniversary, because it’s painfully obvious that producer Frank Valentini & his team of hack writers have no clue what made General Hospital an iconic show in the first place (mostly in the years 1978… Read more »
I always have to record General Hospital, so I am sure to never miss an episode. I do wish the time of day that it airs was a little earlier or later in the day as the hour it airs seems to be the time of choice for government announcements, etc. that interrupt the program fairly frequently, so I end up recording those, as well.

General Hospital is an excellent show. I’ve been watching over 40 years. Please
Do not discontinue it! It is a wonderful show!
Love General Hospital. Watched it since the 70’s.
Love General Hospital since the 1960’s. Love the story lines, adore the actors. It will be sorely missed if taken off the air. It is loving and caring especially when the shows story line shows afflictions that affect people and at the end of the episode a actor will give information where to go for help. It is not only a soap but a soap with information that can help someone. I don’ t know why they have taken many soaps off the air.’ Just because people have to work it does not mean they miss the daily episode because… Read more »
