TV show description:
This long-running soap begins by following the lives of the wealthy Brooks family and the less fortunate Foster family in Genoa City, Wisconsin. Since then, the show’s focus has shifted to follow the Abbott and Newman families as each owns and operates their own cosmetic companies.
Arrogant businessman Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) heads Newman Enterprises and his on-again off-again relationship with wife Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is often a cause for drama. Their marriage has produced two children, Victoria (Heather Tom, later Sarah Aldrich and Amelia Heinle) and Nicholas (Joshua Morrow).
John Abbott (Brett Halsey, later Jerry Douglas) founded the rival Jabot Cosmetics company and his children, Jack (Terry Lester, later Peter Bergman) and Ashley (Eileen Davidson), work for the company in various capacities over the years. One of the soap’s longest running plotlines is the rivalry between Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill Foster Abbott (Jess Walton) which began when Jill’s affair with Katherine’s husband resulted in a son.
Other families impacting the never-ending drama include the African American Winters and Barbers.
Actors Shemar Moore, Vivica A. Fox, Eva Longoria, and Tom Selleck, are all celebrities that have been part of the large cast during their careers.
It is time to return to production. The old Reruns shows are boring, and getting very old. The main Threat of the virus has been reduced to Long term Nursing homes. Masks & gloves can be used when not on camera, disinfect stage when not in use. There are ways to restart production, the show must go on. Or is this more about politics than entertainment? I have watched these soap for almost 70 years, does “ dark shadows “ age me
To long ? Let’s go to work
Please , please, please never allow anything to cause GH to end! It’s television royalty! Whether you hate or love it, it’s been the single constant in our lives since before most of us were born! It’s legendary! My grandmother introduced to me when I was 3-4 years old. It was the only reason they turned on the tv besides Walter Cronkite. In these days of Covid-19 we all need the constants, especially the ones like General Hospital. I’ll take reruns any day and enjoy every minute.
Please do not cancel this soap, I have been watching it since the beginning and they have become part of my life. Love Love this soap
I say start from the beginning and show all episodes from the first up thru current day until the coronavirus is over with! This will give the fans of current day a look into the history of the soap!! Would be well received!!
Please just let this soap just die. Just when you think it can not get worse it certainly does. I quit watching 3-6 months ago. I will never watch again
