Long running US daytime
soap detailing episodes both professional and personal in the lives of
the doctors and nurses working at Port Charles General Hospital in Upper
New York (most of the action took place on the seventh floor in the
Internal Medicine Division). Later the show moved into stranger areas
with plots involving spies and the like and then again in the 1990's it
switched to be a series issues type show covering AID's, Cancer etc.
Much of the action nowadays is centered away from the confines of the
General. There has been a recent spin off called Port Charles and the
show is the longest running daytime show on ABC having on 17 April 2002
clocked up 10,000 episodes, a special clip driven edition was shown
featuring cast members, both past and present. There was also
a UK show called General
Hospital offering much the same as this show.
