General Hospital is the longest-running American soap opera still in production, has aired over 15,000 episodes, and even inspired real medical interest by accurately portraying certain procedures decades before they were common on TV.
Premiering in the early 1960s, General Hospital initially focused on medical staff and patient stories but soon expanded into complex family sagas, mob drama, and high-stakes mysteries. Central families like the Quartermaines, Spencers, and Corinthos clan have shaped the show’s identity through decades of love triangles, shocking deaths, and dramatic returns. The series is famous for blending everyday realism with dramatic twists, including courtroom battles, criminal empires, and emotional medical crises. With characters aging, evolving, and sometimes being recast, General Hospital continues to reflect societal changes while preserving its soap opera roots. Its longevity and storytelling ambition have earned it a dedicated global fanbase.
