Paging General Hospital fans everywhere, the soap is celebrating 60 years in a primetime special titled General Hospital: 60 Years of Stars and Storytelling, airing on Thursday, January 4, at 10 pm ET/PT on ABC. 

Before the British series Casualty and American series Grey's Anatomy (Grey's Anatomy season 20 launches on March 14) began their historic runs as medical dramas in primetime, General Hospital laid the groundwork for the genre in daytime TV. From hot and heavy romances to shocking deaths to surprising family twists, the soap has had it all over the course of six decades, leaving inspiration in its wake and memorable TV moments.
