‘General Hospital’ turns 60

Very few television programs last for 60 years, especially in the current media climate.

That makes it a big deal, indeed, that the ABC drama “General Hospital” –which has won the Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding drama series 14 times, a record – is marking its six-decade milestone with special moments before and after the actual anniversar y: April 1, which falls on a Saturday this year Still, the Mondaythrough-Friday episodes surrounding that date will honor legendar y characters and stories (including a tribute to late co-star Sonya Eddy), and bring back the popular Nurses Ball being staged for the first time in three years.

Created by Frank and Doris Hursley, the saga of the residents of the fictional Port Charles (now guided by executive producer Frank Valentini) has transformed since its 1963 debut, reaching one of its peaks with the 1981 wedding of Luke and Laura Spencer (played by Anthony Gear y and continuing cast member Genie Francis) ... to date, the highest-rated dramatic hour in daytime-TV histor y. Howeve r, for whatever romance or espionage has been factored in, the center of the show always has been the title medical facility.

One of the longtime characters reflecting that is Nurse Elizabeth Webber, portrayed by Rebecca Herbst, who’s marking her own “General Hospital” milestone by celebrating her 25th anniversar y with the series. The

In Focus

“Jane: Season 1” (Apple TV+ — series premiere, April 14) part was created for her, and with her alter ego having gone through affairs and kidnappings and pregnancies over a quartercentur y, the three-time Daytime Emmy nominee appreciates that she remains prominent on the show.

Inspired by the work of Jane Goodall, this original family drama series follows 9-yearold Jane, a budding environmentalist on a quest to save endangered animals with the help of best friends David and Greybeard the chimpanzee.

“It certainly does not feel like it’s been 25 years,” the pleasant Herbst reflects. “We have so many cast members, I do not envy the writers with their job of keeping ever ybody on the canvas in these complex stories. It really is amazing to me. ”

Herbst confirms that the mood on the “General Hospital” set has been quite spirited lately “I feel like we look at each other and just chuckle in a way,” she muses, “because this show has been around for 60 years. We’re not surprised, because it’s been a popular show forever and our writers have done a really great job of keeping up with the times. We’re just incredibly grateful that we’re still here!”

Married to former “General Hospital” costar Michael Saucedo, with whom she has three children, Herbst almost left the show in 2011 due to a stor yline shift. Fans spoke up against that – loudly – and effectively saved her job

Expressing her ongoing thanks for that, Herbst says that lately, the initially rebellious Elizabeth is “ not too far off from who she was when she came to Port Charles. It’s really nice that I’ve been able to add so many layers to the character over the years. ”
