As you may have noticed, ABC doesn’t typically announce if General Hospital has been renewed for another year, it just keeps running. No news is often good news. The venerable soap has been on the air for over six decades and is the alphabet network’s sole surviving daytime drama. Will General Hospital survive to see a 63rd season and the 2025-26 network TV season? Could ABC announce a renewal this time, or could it be cancelled and replaced by a talk show? Stay tuned.
Debuting in 1963 on April 1st, General Hospital revolves around the loves, lives, and deaths of the people of Port Charles, New York. Actors appearing in the current season include Tabyana Ali, Jens Austin Astrup, Maurice Benard, Alexa Havins Bruening, Braedyn Bruner, Steve Burton, Jane Elliot, Genie Francis, Nancy Lee Grahn, Tanisha Harper, Finola Hughes, Jonathan Jackson, Josh Kelly, Brook Kerr, Katelyn MacMullen, Kate Mansi, Cameron Mathison, Sofia Mattsson, Giovanni Mazza, Eden McCoy, Amanda Setton, Kirsten Storms, Josh Swickard, Donnell Turner, Kristen Vaganos, Kristina Wagner, Cynthia Watros, Maura West, Sawandi Wilson, Laura Wright, and Dominic Zamprogna.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you still like the General Hospital TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a 63rd season on ABC?
Please keep gh on ..I’ll b 63 in April and have watched this show since I was born with my grandma ..my grandma watched til she passed in 1983 and I still watch it
Please keep it on period I’m 83 years old and I look forward to it and record it when I’m not home. Love it.
Keep it going, please! I’ve watched since day 1. Despite some of the major changes recently, addressing current issues is still accomplished with human compassion and exquisite acting done with purpose and focus. I appreciate all who are and have been with this daily show. With gratitude, thank you.
Please don’t get rid of GH. I will have a huge meltdown
Hopefully the diehard fans get their wish. I unfortunately can not tolerate the inconsistent writing.
I’ve been watching since 1998 for 27 years! Please keep it going!!!!
Love General Hospital please don’t take it off there it is by far one of the best soaps ever that’s been on tv.
Well Good Grief, they are looking at the wrong demographics under 49 yrs of age are either in school or working, yes they can watch it on Hulu or record it but your TRUE demographics would be 50 to 80, these are the ones who grew up watching the show. I’m 74, has your sometimes skew up the stories by not looking to the past well enough, but that is show biz. Keep it on
