On Monday April 1st 1963, General Hospital which was penned by Frank and Doris Hursley first aired on TV on ABC at 3 pm . Back then it was on for a half hour and it mainly focused on the hospital staff and patients and their families.
And that wonderful staff which included Doctor Steve Hardy and his wife Audrey as well as their friends Nurse Jessie Brewer and her husband Doctor Phil Brewer . As we know it became a hit with viewers.
That was way before my time ! But I've seen old episodes on YouTube and from what I've seen I love it. It's fun to look into the past.
It can really surprise you and make you want to learn more than you ever dreamed of knowing. In fact its mind blowing to say the very least.
Luke and Laura Spencer were essentially my TV parents . I adored them loved watching all of their adventures with Robert Scorpio, and seeing Elizabeth Taylor as Helena when I ran home after school to watch all of the drama all unfold.
I was only 9 1/2 years old in 1980 when I began watching GH. Little did I know that 42 years later the cast would become like family to me .
It's may sound crazy , but it's true i became invested in the characters. And I knew all of their stories ànd committed them all to my memory.
The show for 59 years has shown the lives of it's most prominent Port Charles residents who have become infamous for their adventures , their families and friends and jobs
Not to mention their enemies who dare to provoke ,torment , stalk , kidnap, annoy and even attack them out of sport. It's just disgusting how people focus on obsession and pure utter jealousy to hurt others.
Mob wars , are my personal faves , I love watching Sonny, Jason and Carly's dealing with their enemies. They say those who dare win the war, those who want to make a difference and heal the sick work at Port Charles General Hospital.
The disasters the town has been through , the Murders, the teenage angst , the fashion mag , Deception are also what draw us in every day .
The kooky women of Deception and Crimson make us laugh because you just never know what they're gonna say or do . You know I'm referring to Maxie , Lucy, Brooklyn Gladys, Sasha and Nina who don't know when to shut the hell up.
Lmfao not to mention Scott Baldwin and his lady love Liesl Obrecht. They may be an odd match made in heaven but I love them dearly .
They have more in common than people think they both lost children in tragic circumstances.
Gruff Scott has become a father figure to our Britt.
I love Nikolas and Ava Cassadine and their family , Spencer , Sam Alexis , Kristina and our dear Molly.
Oh and the Quartermaine's lol you can't forget them the whole dysfunctional lot. Or the boys in blue at the PCPD.
If You want a drink , go see Curtis at the Savoy , Carly at the Metrocourt I'm sure you'll see her in a shouting match with someone.
The Webber family has had their share of drama as has the Corinthos Clan .
The occasional mob war and bomb blast may happen . We've seen people return from the dead like Drew Cain and kids sorased to suit storylines and I'm okay with that.
People have asked me why I love it well you heard it from me. It's like someone once said lol 😆 you love what you love , some call it an addiction I just can't shake . I call it my passion .
I'll never give up on my Port Charles crew , they may be a little insane , and a little too angsty at times but ya can't deny my love for GH will last a life time .
So ,happy 59th anniversary me darlings , you have made my young imagination run wild , you helped raise me and you may driving me nuts sometimes , but as Sonny and Laura said " Thank God for GH. You guys kept me going when I went through my toughest of days.
